Page 4: Wiring
Wiring The Intrasonic Technology Retro system is designed to work on the existing wiring. If the existing wiring contains 3, 4, 6 or more wires, you will need to select 3 of the wires for each room, patio and door station. Runs need to be 350 feet each or less. If the existing system is still operating, it is a good idea to test the system and all stations to make sure the existing wires are not damaged. -
Page 5: Removing The Old Master
Removing the Old Master If the existing system is still operational, run a test by playing the radio and testing the intercom functions to each room, patio and door station. If one or more of the stations do not function, this could be a sign that there is faulty wiring. If one of the stations does not function properly, try swapping the defect station with a working station. - Page 6 If you are using the original housing, you will need to install the Intrasonic Technology mounting straps. These come with Retrofit RETRO-M master. Be sure to install them with the flat side facing the chassis. As closely as possible mount them with the mounting screw hole centered between the top and bottom.

Removing the Old Room and Patio Stations Because there are numerous old makes and models of existing intercoms, it is impossible to describe in specific detail the process to remove the old room stations. The steps listed below are general steps that may or may not apply to the specific make and model you are replacing. -
Page 12: Installing The New Room And Patio Stations
Installing the new Room and Patio Stations There are 2 adapter plates, one for vertical mounting and one for horizontal mounting with each room station. Select the appropriate adapter plate and attach it to the existing mounting ring with screws. The view above shows the vertical adapter plate installed on the mounting ring. - Page 13 When installing the new Intrasonic Technology Retrofit master station, you selected 3 wire colors from the existing wires. Please select those same 3 color wires and attach them to the same terminals (+15V, GND, LINK) on the back of the room station. Remember it is important to use the same color wire for each of the 3 terminals at both ends of the wire.
- Page 14 The last step would be to snap the dress ring on to the room or patio station. As mentioned earlier, these steps are generic only. There are too many possible variations to be able to be specific with installation details. Because of this, from time to time there may be additional cutting, drilling or possible sheetrock work that may be required to install any retrofit system.
