MASTER STATION

Where a Master has been purchased as part of the system, it is generally located above the breakfast
bar in the kitchen/family room at a suggested height of 1400 millimetres from the floor to the centre
of the unit. As all wiring from other stations is generally terminated at the rear of the Master, the
wall should be no less than 70 millimetres in depth. A timber or metal wall box should be inserted
so as to allow for correct support of the Master station.

The Master Station should be installed in a cavity wall and not a single brick wall in order to
facilitate the wiring behind it.
Where there is wall tiling around or near to the Master Station, ensure the Master Station is
mounted either completely within or completely clear of the tiled area so as to avoid the Master
being affixed to an uneven surface.

ROOM STATIONS

Careful consideration must be given to present and/or future layout of furniture so as not to locate
stations in positions that will prove to be inappropriate.
To avoid audio feedback, Room Stations should be kept at least four to five meters away from other
stations. Never have more than one station in any one room and avoid mounting stations in the same
wall cavity (i.e. directly below and above one another in a twostorey house).
A suitable height is generally 1400 millimetres from the floor to the centre of the unit.
Stations located on timber frame walls should be located adjacent to a stud to allow for firm fixing.
Stations located on cavity brick walls will require the installation of wall boxes.
Stations installed on single brick walls will also require wall boxes however the cable will need to
be placed in conduit and chased into the brick wall. Where stations are required in bathrooms or
laundries, they must be kept clear of water or steam.
Where stations are mounted on a tiled surface, a wall box should be installed prior to lining/tiling of
the walls and the tiles will need to be cut to the inside dimensions of the wall box.
Where Room Stations are mounted outside and are exposed to the weather, the fitting of
weatherproof covers will be required. Stations must not be installed in saunas.
