I. Installation Introduction

The On-Q/Legrand Selective Call Intercom System is an advanced Cat 5 based intercom system

consisting of 2-gang Room Units, Patio Units and Door Units. Each of these user stations are

connected with a single Cat 5 cable to an Intercom Module in the enclosure. The Room Units contain

an intuitive graphical user interface in the form of a liquid crystal display, similar to today’s cell phones.

Communication may occur in a broadcast fashion if desired, or to specific units as selected on the

Room Unit LCD.

Installation of the system is simplistic due to the fact that all units are connected with a single Cat 5

cable and all units are the same small physical size. The firmware that runs on the system controller

discovers each unit by type and keeps track of them. If a unit becomes disabled, it is removed from the

system list and does not affect the other units. In fact, replacement is as simple as unplugging the old

unit and plugging in the new unit, which will be automatically discovered and added to the list.

The robust system software allows you to install the system and utilize the defaults, for a quick and

simple installation, or add value by customizing and personalizing the installation The system can be

personalized, choosing what to call each user station from a list of over 90 names. The door tone can

be personalized for each door unit, choosing from 20 different high quality door tones.

A. Installation Safety Precautions

NOTE: Read all instructions carefully and completely before installing the On-Q/Legrand

Selective Call Intercom System.

Throughout the following safety precautions and instructions the term “component” will be used to

indicate one or all of the following: Intercom Module, Room Unit, Patio Unit, or Door Unit.

• These installation instructions were designed for use by an authorized On-Q installer only. Do not

attempt to service, move, or change any component of this system unless you are qualified to do

so.

• This system must by installed to conform to all local building and electrical codes.

• Do not apply power to the Intercom Module until all Selective Call Intercom System components

have been installed and all wiring has been properly terminated.

• Although the SCI System Units are hot swappable, it is good practice to first turn off power at the

Intercom Module in the On-Q enclosure prior to terminating, changing, or un-installing any wiring.

Unplug the power transformer that is powering the Intercom Module from the power outlet before

proceeding with wiring terminations or changes.

• Install each component of this system away from heat sources such as heating ducts/registers,

stoves, or any other heat source.

• Do not install any component in a return air duct.

• The Selective Call Intercom Module and any other component module were designed to be

installed into an On-Q/Legrand enclosure. This enclosure must be installed in a cool dry area and

must be installed according to its installation instructions. Do not install an On-Q enclosure or any

On-Q module or device in an unheated garage, attic, or outside wall.

• Do not expose any Selective Call Intercom System component that was designed for indoor use

to moisture. Doing so can create electrical hazards or render the component unusable. Exposure

to moisture will also void the warranty on the system.

• Only use On-Q/Legrand authorized components, modules, and devices with the Selective Call

Intercom System. Not doing so will void the warranty of the system.

• Only use a damp cloth to clean the cover plates of the system components.

• Do not use vacuum cleaners, liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean any of the system components.
