b) Set the ceiling tile on a flat work surface with the patterned side facing down. c) Using a straight edge, cut the 2’ x 4’ ceiling in half (see figure 2) leaving two 2’ x 2’ sections. 1. Overview c) Locate the 15ft length of safety wire and the eye screw. The safety wire needs to be permanently attached to the solid structural ceiling above. d) Install the eye screw (or concrete anchors if necessary) into the structural ceiling.
a) Locate the 50-foot length of plenum rated wire included with the speaker and the green euroblock style connector. b) Connect one end of the speaker wire to the euro-block connector (see figure 6). i. Insert the positive conductor (RED or WHITE in color) into the left side of the connector and use a screwdriver to tighten. Good placement Best placement ii. Insert the negative conductor (BLACK) into the right side of the connector and tighten.
2. Installation 2. Uncoil the Cat 5 sensor cable. Connect one end of the cable to the ISR. Route the wire back to the CAT AV amplifier, securing it along with way using surface raceway where possible. 1. Attach the bracket to the ceiling tile grid (t-bar). a. Slide the tabs onto the outsides of the t-bar, starting with one corner. b. Attach the second tab around the other side of the t-bar. c. Repeat with the other side of the bracket so it is connected at all four points. 2.
Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries. They can overheat and expand creating a significant hazard and damaging the microphone (this is not covered by warranty). 1. Plug power cord into the cradle charger and then plug the AC end into an electrical outlet. 2. Ensure that the REDMIKE VC is turned OFF. The teacher can now use the controls on the REDMIKE VC to adjust the volume level from anywhere in the room.
ALL PROBLEMS: Most Problems are related to low battery power. SOLUTION: Battery Check • Confirm batteries are charged each night. • Confirm proper batteries are used. The REDMIKE VC requires the Lightspeed BA-NH2A27 rechargeable sensing battery for proper charging. The LT-71 & HM70 require NiMH AA rechargeable batteries. • Make sure the microphones are turned off while charging so a full charge is attained. Full charge will last eight hours. • Inspect the battery contacts. Clean and adjust if necessary.
