When mounting the mains powered devices it may be easiest to detach the

power cable from the circuit board first by gently pulling out the connector from

the board. The mains powered repeater/call point may be supplied with the

power cable already detached.

Use the back plate to mark the position of the screw holes on the wall or

ceiling. The call point may be mounted at desk height but if it is also to be used

as a repeater it should be mounted using the same criteria as a normal

repeater. The contact for the call point should then be extended to a switch

(such as a ceiling pull switch).

If fixing to masonry, drill two holes with 6mm masonry bit to a minimum depth of

30mm and insert wall plugs.

Screw the back plate in position making sure the screws are left flush to back

plate.

When installing a mains powered repeater, refer to ‘Wiring the mains powered

repeater/call point’.

If installing a call point that needs to be wired to an external switch, refer to

‘Wiring the call point to an external switch’.

After installation, lock the devices (if required) by screwing the small screw

provided in the installation parts, as indicated by A in the picture on previous

page.

Wiring the mains powered repeater/call point

Note:

1. The mains powered repeater requires a DC supply between 9.5v and 15v at

15mA.

2. The mains powered call point requires a DC supply between 11v and 15v at

25mA.

3. When wiring several repeaters in a chain it is important to specify the system

power supply and cabling so that the power supply voltage at the repeaters

at the beginning and end of the chain are within these limits, taking into

account cable resistance. It is advisable to check these voltages with a

meter after installation has been completed.
