- INSTRUCTIONS -

The AP-MS/C system is a high powered, single talkpath open voice system. Multiple masters can be
used, along with a large variety of sub station models to create a communication system tailored to the
user's needs. The master station is available in an expandable 10-station size. For greater capacity,
include a 10-, 20- or 40-station add-on selector. Any "AS-" or "LS-" series sub station can be used. Any
10 watt 8 or 16 ohm speaker can be used for two way communication.(requires NP-25V).

NOTE:

Severe weather conditions, such as lightning
storms, may cause damage to AP-M/C
equipment. We recommend that power
surge protection be installed to minimize
potential component level damage. SA-1
surge arrestors should be installed on all
communication lines (one SA-1 for every two
wires connected to master.)

WIRING & INSTALLATION:
Before Installation:

· Make sure you have a proper power source and all necessary and compatible equipment for the system.

· Lay out your system in advance, assigning station numbers for all sub station locations.

· Surge protection for the intercom equipment is strongly recommended. Add SA-1 surge arrestors per two
wires connected to the master station.

Wire:

· Do not make any connections or attempt to install with power connected.

· Shielded wire is recommended. Use the proper gauge for the distance being run.

· Wiring between masters must be a multi-conductor cable. If more than one cable is used to connect
masters, the "E", "C", and number terminal wires must be in the same jacketed cable. If necessary, run
multiple "E" wires, one in each cable.

Wiring Method:

· Run intercom cables at least 20" away from all AC wiring, fluorescent lights, dimmer switches, and other
electrical or electronic devices. Wiring can cross AC wires at 90 degrees.

· Sub stations must be homerun to the nearest master station

Intercom Locations:

· Do not install intercoms near dimmer or light switches, or other electrical wall devices.

· To prevent feedback, do not place any stations back-to-back or on a common wall.

· Do not mount AP-M/C equipment in the following places, 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.

· AP-M/C units are electronic devices, whic h mus t not be subjected to water or any other liquid.

OPERATIONS & SPECIFICATIONS

OPERATIONS:
* POWER SWITCH MUST BE ON FOR THE SYSTEM TO BE OPERATIONAL.

Receiving a call from a sub station:

1. Sub station calls in with mono-electronic tone, heard as long as call button at sub is depressed.

2. LED light corresponding to calling station will light at master, staying on approximately 20 seconds.

3. Depress station button with lit LED.

4. Press TALK button to speak, and release to listen.

5. Press OFF button to the left of the station selector button when the call is concluded.

Calling a sub or master station:

1. Depress station number of the location you wish to call.

2. Press TALK to speak, and release to hear reply.

3. If you wish to send a pre-announce tone to the called station, press the CALL button. A mono-electronic
tone will be heard at the called station.

4. Press OFF button to the left of the station selector button when the call is concluded.

Receiving a call from another master station:

1. When one master calls another master, no station LEDs light up, and the responding master answers
back hands free. The calling master uses the TALK button to speak.

2. The "occupied lamp" will be on while the initiating master has a station selected.

3. The responding master should not press any buttons to respond to another master's call.

remaining lit for approximately 20 seconds.
Wiring: One pair homerun from sub stations

(Single call subs to nearest master, dual call subs to both masters)

2 pair plus one pair for each station; master to master

Twisted, Shielded cable is recommended.

Wiring Distance: 510' with 22 AWG; 1,225' with 18AWG.
Dimensions: AP-10MS/C: 10" x 11" x 5-1/2". AP-10AS/C: 10-1/4" x 7" x 5-1/2".
