It is important that the masking volume be set correctly to achieve the full effectiveness of the Qt 100 system. If volume levels are set too low, speech privacy will be reduced and workplace distractions will become more apparent.
OTHERWISE: If a sound level meter is not available, the recommended levels are likely to be achieved in most environments by setting the control module’s masking volumes as follows: Control Module’s Masking Volume Settings Private Office Zones 05-09, for all ceiling heights Open Area Zones 13-16, for 08 ft.
GND. Contact Closure The Qt 100 provides an instant shut-off capability for masking if connected to a contact closure interface. The contact closure utilizes the same connector as the audio input. To leverage this feature, connect a two-conductor cable to the two connectors, labeled “contact”.
Connecting Power The controller comes standard with a 24 V wall plug power supply. This supply features a wall plug and a fixed barrel connector. Alternatively, power can be supplied to the fixed block connector, which allows for stripped and tinned wires for added flexibility and convenience.
Installing Qt Emitters Important Considerations: • Each run has a maximum of 60 emitters! • Each run supports a maximum cable length of 1000 ft. • Each home run cable attached to the control module should be labeled by Zone # and Run #. Adding a logical name (e.g. Marketing, Private Offices) is suggested.

Custom Cabling Guidelines For system compliance, follow these guidelines if custom cables are required: Use solid conductor 24 AWG CAT cable that meets local code requirements. If the system is installed in a return air plenum, the cable must be plenum rated.
System Configuration via the Front Panel After the Qt 100 is mounted and the emitters have been tested, it is time to configure the Qt 100 for general operation. The front panel display shows system information and allows for adjustment of the masking and the auxiliary audio input levels.
Setting Sound Masking Level Masking Z1 Volume: Mute This figure shows that the format of the panel for configuring masking. Z1 stands for zone 1 and it is currently set to mute. The initial value of Mute is displayed. To adjust the level, use the up and down arrows while this screen is displayed.
