Microphone Input: QM-WMIC 
Purpose 
The purpose of this addendum is to provide additional information not supplied with 
the original QM-WMIC Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 6245). Specifically, 
this addendum provides additional information with regard to grounding instructions. 
Grounding Instructions 
The installation instructions for the QM-WMIC shown on page 9 are missing 
diagrams that illustrate the suggested grounding methods when installing a  
QM-WMIC. The text and graphics shown below provide better explanation for 
suitable grounding methods in step 5. 
Revised Suggestions for Proper Grounding of QM-WMIC 
•  Connect the grounding wires as shown in the following diagram, to the electrical 
box (the electrical box must be earth grounded) or a ground wire in the electrical 
box.

•  Connect the ground wires to the Cresnet shield and connect the Cresnet shield at 
the QM-RMCRX to the chassis of the QM-RMCRX as shown in the following 
diagram. The QM-RMCRX chassis must be connected to an earth ground. In 
this instance, the Cresnet shield is not connected to Cresnet ground.

NOTE: When the Cresnet shield is used to connect the QM-WMIC to the Cresnet 
ground terminal of a PRO2, PAC2, AV2, or any other 2-Series control system whose 
chassis is already earth grounded, the grounding wire from the control system to 
earth ground is unnecessary (as shown in the following diagram).
