GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES
Mount the intercom stations in locations that are safe and convenient for use.
It is recommended that the master station be mounted inside the cab.
Consider potential background noise that the hands free remote station might
pick up.
If excess background noise is picked up by the hands free remote station due to
vibration, mounting it on a rubber pad can help reduce noise.
Ensure a good ground connection. Isolate the intercom ground wire from other
grounds that can be noisy (strobes, radios, priming motors, etc.).
Make interconnecting cable runs as short as possible.
Secure excess intercom cable in a gure 8 pattern.
The foot switch option requires the installation of a single-pole single-throw
switch (not supplied with intercom).
