Introduction
As with any sophisticated communications device, installation of the
System requires the care and forethought of a competent technician. To assure easy servicing
and reliable operation, several factors must be considered when planning the system
installation. The installation proceeds in these major steps:

Site Preparation

General Site Considerations

The first step is to locate an acceptable site for the common equipment (KSUs, boards, etc.).
When locating a mounting site for the KSUs, the following points must be considered:
The KSUs are designed for wall mounting and should not be mounted directly to a masonry
or plasterboard wall. It is recommended that a 1/2 inch plywood backboard be firmly
mounted to the wall, and the KSU and MDF be mounted to the backboard.
The location must have access to a dedicated 110 Volt AC (±10%), 60 Hz, single-phase circuit
with a circuit breaker or fuse rated at 15 amps. A 3-wire parallel blade grounded outlet
should be within approximately 6 feet of the lower left rear of the BKSU mounting.
The location must have access to a good earth ground, such as a metallic cold water pipe
without non-metallic joints. The ground source should be located as close as possible to the
system.
The system should be located in an area that is well ventilated with a recommended
temperature range of 68°-78° F and a relative humidity range of 5-60% (non condensing).
The system should be located within 25 feet of the telephone company's termination point.
Also, the location should be within the prescribed station loop lengths for all keysets and
terminals. If existing cabling is used, its location and conduits should be considered. Station
wiring should be in the building. Station ports are not designed for installation outside of
the building.
Protection from flooding, flammable materials, excessive dust and vibration.
The site should be away from radio transmitting equipment, arc-welding devices, copying
machines and other electrical equipment capable of generating electrical interferences.
