Installing and Using the
Series 1500™ Intercom Systems
Series 1500™ Intercoms enable clear two-way communications in
retail service businesses. Two-way video is integrated with highperformance audio to provide a complete intercommunication solution
over a single Category 5e or 6 UTP cable. The versatile Model 1500
Counter Station, which can access up to 16 lanes, and the Model 1520
Lane Station can be connected directly to each other in a one-on-one
system, or multiples of each can be networked using a Model 1509
Hub for up to two-on-four audio performance or Series 1510 Hub for
multi-lane systems (See example diagrams on the following pages).
Series 1510 Hubs can support up to 8 Counter Stations on 16 lanes.

The simplest system conguration involves only one counter station connected directly to one lane station (no hub).
This conguration can be audio-only or audio/video. Run a length of Cat 5 cable from the counter location to the lane
location; the cable can be up to 1,000 feet long. See “Installing Components” for detailed instructions.
2x4 Audio Installation
The Model 1509 Audio Hub allows one or two Model 1500 Audio Counter Stations to serve up to four 1520 Lane
Stations. 1509 Hub congurations must be audio-only. Run a length of Cat 5 cable from each Counter Station to
the Hub. Run a length of Cat 5 cable from the Hub to each Lane Station. The total cable length from Counter Station to
Lane Station can be up to 1,000 feet. See “Installing Components” for detailed instructions.

The Audio/Video Hub congurations allow from one to as many as eight Counter Stations to serve up to 16 Lane
Stations. These congurations (1510, 1511, 1512 and 1513) may be audio-only or audio/video. Run a length of
Cat 5 cable from each Counter Station to the Hub. Run a length of Cat 5 cable from the Hub to each Lane Station. The
total cable length from Counter Station to Lane Station can be up to 1,000 feet. See “Installing Components” for detailed
instructions.

Illustration: Two Counter Stations serve Four Lane Stations. Counter Stations and Lane Stations may have video
capability, or be audio-only. One Lane Station is shown with a Model 1523 Video Add-On; alternatively, any 1520 may
be connected to existing camera and video display.
If desired, any 1520 could be replaced by a 1522 Customer Video Station, which has all the capability and connections
of a 1520 plus a camera, video display and call button mounted in one enclosure.
* PC video output signals may need to be modied for viewing on intercom video displays. Call Audio Authority for details.
