SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This manual provides an overview of the 3010R Series Intercom System and an introduction to its individual components. Figure 1
shows a typical system. Refer to this diagram for each component.
REMOTE HEAD
The base unit has the ability to be remotely controlled by up to two remote heads. These panels function the same as the base
unit front panel. Regardless of which button is pressed, all units will respond and update at the same time. Power to the unit is
supplied through the CA cable from the intercom. The remote head can be mounted INSIDE the apparatus either flush on a
surface or with a special bracket.
INTERCOM
The main control unit for the 3010R Series Intercom System which contains all the controls and interface circuitry.
2-WAY RADIO
The existing 2-way radio in the apparatus.
MOBILE RADIO INTERFACE CABLE
Provides the interface connections between the 3010R Series Intercom Unit and the 2-way radio in the apparatus. There are
many different cable assemblies available; the particular cable needed depends on the make and model of your radio. Contact
your local Firecom dealer for more information regarding an interface cable specific to your radio.
POWER CABLE ASSEMBLY
Provides the power connections for the 3010R Series Intercom Unit. The power connections should be made at the same place
as the power connections for your radio.
HM-10 HEADSET MODULES
Headsets are plugged into the headset modules to interface them into the system. The HM-10 is the standard headset module
for use inside the apparatus.
PP-20 PUMP PANEL MODULE
A water-resistant headset module for use on the exterior of the apparatus (e.g. at the pump panel, at the tail-board, etc.).
SYSTEM ORIENTATION
CA CABLES
Six-conductor flat cable which connects the 3010R Series Intercom Unit to the HM-10, PP-20 headset modules and the
remote heads.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE REMOTE HEAD
One or two remote heads can be connected to the main base unit. The connections at the rear of the unit are identical in function. CA cables of the same style and pin-outs as the audio CA cables will work to mount the remotes. See page 6.
1. When mounting the remote head flush to a flat surface, use the unit as a template to mark and drill (4) mounting
holes 7/64" diameter for sheet metal screws or 5/ 32" for machine screws.
2. The cable can exit the unit in (4) directions: Flush to the outside of the mounting plane in the up, down and right
side direction or through the mounting plane on the back. When exiting up, down and right, a small wire groove
is provided.
3. Cut a small piece of plastic from the desired groove to clear the wire as shown in Figure 3.
FIGURE 4
FIGURE 3
4. For an installation where the wire passes through the mounting surface, drill a 3/ 8" hole and install the supplied
rubber grommet. Pass the wire through.
5. Click the CA cable into the remote head modular jacks, as shown in Figure 4.
6. For inside installation, mount the panel with (4) screws making sure the cable is not pinched in the groove.

INSTALLATION
7. When mounting the remote head using the brackets, first plug in and thread the cable through the bracket assembly
as shown in Figure. 5.
8. Plug the CA cable into the remote head and secure the panel with (4) machine screws and nuts to the front of
the bracket.
FIGURE 5
9. Using the supplied cable ties, secure the CA cable to the bracket anchors as shown in Figure 6.
FIGURE 6
10. Before installing the bracket to the mounting surface, drill a 3 /4" hole at the wire location. Snap the grommet into the
bracket as shown in Figure 6 and then use the bracket as a template to mark the mounting holes.
11. Drill (4) mounting holes at 7/64" for #6 sheet metal screws or 9 /64" for #6 machine screws.
12. Mount the bracket and adjust the panel to a desirable viewing angle with the two hand knobs.

MODULAR PLUG INSTALLATION
This section describes the installation of the RJ-12 modular
plugs onto the flat CA cable.
1. Using the cutter blade on the crimping tool (labeled "A"
in Figure 7), cut the flat CA cable so the cut is clean
and 90 degrees to the sides of the cable.
2. Insert one end of the CA cable between the stripping
blades (labeled "C" in Figure 6) until the end of the
cable hits the stop (labeled "B" in Figure 7).

Crimping Tool
3. Squeeze the handles of the crimping tool together until
the tool bottoms out.
4. While holding the handles together, pull the cable out of
the tool.
5. The stripped insulation should expose approximately
3/16" of wire (Figure 8).
6. Push a RJ-12 modular plug into the plug holder on the
crimping tool (labeled "D" in Figure 7) until the release
tab on the plug locks into position.
6
7. Holding the cable so that the printed side of the cable is
toward the release-tab on the plug, push the cable into
the plug as far as it will go.
ALWAYS make sure the printed side of the
cable is facing the release-tab on the RJ-12
modular plug (Figure 9). This ensures proper
orientation of the plug on each end of the cable.
8. Squeeze the tool handles COMPLETELY together. You
may feel the crimper finish punching the contacts through
the insulation on the wires.
9. Let the handles spring open.
10. Push down on the release-tab on the RJ-12 modular plug
(Figure 9) and remove the RJ-12 modular plug from the
crimping tool.
11. Inspect the plug to ensure that the cable is held securely
in place.
12. Repeat this procedure as necessary to install a RJ-12
modular plug on each end of the CA cables.
