SPECIFICATIONS:

* Power source:

DC 6 V. Use PS—2S (CS—12A in North America) power supply per system. If one master only is used in a system which includes several sub stations, power supply PS—3 (CS—6A in North America) may be used; or, units may be powered by 4 standard “D” batteries placed

Master Station: * Current consumption:

* Output:

in each LC—5S or LC—lOS, and 4 standard “C” batteries placed in each LC—3S. 160 mA plus N X 40 mA for an entire system. (N shows number of master stations.)

LC-3S 220 mw, 20i2 LC-5S and LC-1 OS 400 mw, 20D.

* Master station calling:

* Wiring:

Push button station selection. Occupied and on lamps indicate when the system is in use. Up to 16 conductor cable may be required. Please refer to the instructions and wiring diagrams

to design a system that meets your requirements.

FEATURES:

* Highest manufacturing standard ensures outstanding reliability with trouble free operation. * Single channel system. * Hands free remote reply; a call received at an open voice station — if no privacy is required

can be answered from any-

where in a room without touching the instrument (range approximately 20 feet). “Privacy” button; no monitoring or “eavesdropping” is possible on a station in privacy switch position. A call can still be

received and answered upon unlocking of the privacy button. A wide choice of substations; seven substations are available to meet individual requirements. Designed for either desk or wall mounting. Simple push button operation with volume control for fingertip adjustment. Excellent voice fidelity due to well engineered and perfectly matched amplifiers. Master-to-master call by tone or voice direct (LC—3S voice only). Master receives call from substation by tone and lamp annunciation.

INSTALLATION

Do not attempt to install your intercom system until you have read and thoroughly understood the installation

procedure. Aiphone’s warranty is void if system is installed in a manner other than described in this manual.

WIRING

Lay out your system in advance. Determine the exact location of each station. Make yourself a sketch showing

the number of wires required from each station.

WIRING REQUIRED

LC—lOS — 16 conductors maximum. LC—5S — 11 conductors maximum. LC—3S — 7 conductors maximum.

V—A — 2 conductors from V—A to selected master.

V—B — 2 conductors from V—B to selected master. V—AN — 2 conductors from V—AN to selected master. V—L — 2 conductors from V—L to selected master. V—A2 — 3 conductors required; one common and one to each of two selected masters. V—A4 — 5 conductors required; one common and one to each of four selected masters.

Refer to the chart below and select the proper wire gauge to meet your requirements.

All masters included in your system should be connected and tested before beginning substation installation.)

Be sure you wire each station correctly.

lines at a convenient location and that a test be made for calling and talking between each station. (If batteries are used, insert batteries.) As each additional station is installed re-test between each station. Unplug power supply while making wiring connections.

ACTUAL LC-S MASTER STATION TERMINAL LOCATIONS:

INSTALLATION FOR WALL MOUNTING.

Begin your installation with master station no. 1. (Master stations should be designated no. 1, no. 2, no. 3, etc.

After installing your second station we recommend that the power supply be connected to the + and — terminal

LC—3S: 3 call master.

LC—5S; 5 call master.

LC—lOS: 10 call master.

V—A: Standard substation places to and re

ceives calls from one master.

V—B: Surface or semi-flush weather resis

tant substation. Places to and receives calls from one master.

V—AN: Privacy substation. With the »“pri vacy” button in the depressed position no voice transmission from this substation is possible, thus eliminating ‘eavesdropping’

from the master station. This substation places to and receives a.call from one master.

•f" >

V—L: Memory call substation. .A call to a master station from this substation will be indicated by a sound signal and in addition by a lamp at the master station, both of which stay on at the master station until the master station answers. This substation places to and receives a call from one master.

V—A2: This substation places to and re ceives calls from two masters.

V—A4: This substation places to and re receives calls from four masters.

PS—3: Power supply. For a system con sisting of one master and several sub stations. Switch must be set at 6 volt.

CS-6A: UNDERWRITERS’ LABORATO RIES INC. LISTED power supply. For a system consisting of one master and several sub stations. Switch must be set at 6V.

(Available only in N. America)

PS—2S: Power supply. One required per

system. Switch must be set at 6 volt.

CS—12A: CSA Listed power supply. One required per system. Switch must be set at 6V. (Available only in N. America)
