Installing and Using the

Series 1500™ Intercom Systems

Series 1500Intercoms 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.

Cable Fabrication

Terminate the ends of each cable with RJ-45 modular plugs using the EIA 568B pinout (paired 1- 2, 3-6, 4-5, and 7-8). Pre-made network cables may also be used for shorter runs. Test all cables with a network cable tester. Note: Cat 5e and Cat 6 are also acceptable cable types.

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.
