1. The AP-M equipment is an electricai device, whose wiring must be done by qualified personnel.
2. Do not change or modify AP-M equipment.
3. Keep AP-M station away from water or any other liquid. It can cause fire or electric shock.
4. Do not open AP-M station. High voltage is present inside.
General Precautions
1. Do not install or make any wire terminations while power supply is turned on.
It can cause electric shock or damage the unit.
2. Do not install AP-M components in any of the following locations, as it may cause the system to malfunction:
- High or extreme cold temperature areas: under direct sunlight, near equipment that varies in
temperature, in front of air-conditioner, inside a refrigerated area, etc.
- Places subject to moisture or humidity extremes.
- Places subject to environmental conditions, such as oil, dust, chemicals, salt, etc.
- Places subject to constant vibration or impact.
3. Make sure wires are connected properly before plugging in the unit.
4. When mounting AP-M station on wall, select a location where protruded unit would not cause injury to
people.

Precautions on Usage
1. AP-M system is not operable during a power failure.
2. In areas where broadcasting station antennas are close by, intercom system may be affected by radio
frequency interference.
3. Keep all DC wiring at least 30cm, 20” away from AC 100 ~ 240V wiring, fluorescent lighting, or dimmer
switches. Cross AC wiring at a 90° angle.
4. Severe weather conditions, such as lightning storms, may cause damage to AP-M equipment. The AP-M
has a GROUND terminal, which is to be connected to an earth ground.
SYSTEM OUTLINE & COMPONENTS
AP-M is a High-Power Intercom with 10 watt power output. It can be configured in either single or duai master
system in combination with remote 8Q horn speakers and Aiphone’s subs, desk or ceiling mount.
★ Use a twisted pair cable for each sub (non-polarized).
For any 8Q horn speaker, install a NP 25mfd, 25V capactior in line with
# wire (not required when NP-B is installed)

■ Cable
Use a single-twisted pair cable for wiring between AP-M and each sub, homerun, or the other AP-M (In USA,
cable # 832202 specified)
■ Wiring
In single-master configuration, wiring is non-polarized for any type of sub. In dual-master system, wiring of
common sub(s), AS-3WA (2-call) and AP-M’s becomes polarized.
18Q horn speaker
When using an 8Q horn speaker and a call button is not required,
insert a 25 mfd non-polar capacitor in one side of the line. If a 25 mfd
=ca
capacitor is not available, two 50 mfd, 25V electrolytic capacitors may
be used when connected in series -i- to +, or - to -, as shown.
Making non-polar capacitor:
