Station Wiring
While supporting the front cover, remove the twelve cover bolts on the enclosure flange. Pull the front
cover far enough away to expose the internal connections and disconnect any wiring between the front
cover and rear enclosure. Place the front cover aside.
Attach the cable glands to the holes on the bottom of the enclosure.
Cable glands must be certified to current ATEX and IECEx standards for type ‘d’ Flameproof protection
as well as ambient protection.
In rigid conduit systems, a sealing fitting must be installed in accordance with local codes.
Feed the low-voltage wiring on the left side hole and the power wiring through the right side hole. Refer
to Figure 2.
Attach the wires to the terminal blocks located on the PCBA within the enclosure. See Figure 4 and
charts for connection points and descriptions. Use one conductor (0.50 mm
2
to 4 mm2) per screw
terminal. Apply torque to 0.6 N-m.
If using the 10438-101 Auxiliary Microphone Assembly, connect the assembly to the station at terminal
block TB4-1 (+) and TB4-2 (−), shield to TB4-5, if used. The maximum distance from the station is 50
feet using 1 mm
2
wire.
If using an auxiliary footswitch assembly (customer supplied), connect the assembly to the station at
terminal block TB4-8 (+) and TB4-9 (−), shield to TB4-5, if used. The maximum distance from the
station is 50 feet using 1 mm
2
wire.
In this operation, the auxiliary microphone replaces the speaker as the microphone, and the auxiliary
footswitch provides parallel functionality to the push-to-talk switch.

System Line Balance
Each system requires termination of the audio pair wires with the 1 k/1-watt resistor (included with each
unit). The line balance resistor assembly is easily installed into the customer-supplied junction box.
OTE: Only one line balance resistor assembly is needed per system.
N
For cable runs that are approximately 1219 m (4,000 feet) or longer, it is recommended that the resistor
assembly be installed in a junction box (customer supplied) that is close to the center of the system. Refer
to Figure 5 and Figure 6. The junction box must be suitable for the applicable hazardous location in
which it is located.

P3 - Balanced / Unbalanced Jumper
Jumper P3 allows the installer to configure the unit for balanced or unbalanced audio connections. If the
header is installed in the BAL position, the assembly is configured for a balanced audio input signal
operation. If the header is installed in the UNBAL position, the assembly is configured for an unbalanced
input signal. In systems where the external control signal is single-ended, the system must be set up as an
unbalanced system.
SW1 - Master/Slave Switch
Switch SW1 allows the installer to configure the unit as a Slave or Master unit. If the switch is in the
SLAVE position, the unit is configured as a Slave. If the switch is in the MASTER position, the unit is
configured as a Master. For Common Line operation, the switch must be in the MASTER position.

Operation
The operator has access to an on-off/volume control switch and the push-to-talk push button.
The on-off/volume control switch allows the operator to turn the unit on or off and adjust the volume
level in the listen mode.
Turn the unit off by turning the switch completely anti/counterclockwise. For maximum volume adjust
the switch completely clockwise.
The push-to-talk push button controls the audio communication between stations.
When activated, the push-to-talk switch allows the operator to send a message to another station. When
not activated, the station is listen mode and the station receives messages from other stations. When a
station is configured as a Slave station, the push-to-talk switch has no function.
Common Line System
In the Common Line configuration, all of the stations are on common talking path and are normally in the
listen mode. When one of the stations has its push-to-talk toggle switch activated, its audio signal is
supplied to the audio lines. All other units receive the audio signal and broadcast the announcement over
their speakers. The push-to-talk switch must be held down as long as the operator talks. Releasing the
switch deactivates the microphone and returns the unit to the listen mode.

Master/Slav e System
In the Master/Slave configuration, a Master station controls the talk-listen function of the Slave units
through external control wiring.
When the Master’s push-to-talk is not activated, the Slave stations are in talk mode allowing the Master to
monitor the Slave’s audio. When the Master’s push-to-talk is activated, the Slaves are in listen mode
allowing the Master to transmit audio to the Slave stations. The Slave’s push-to-talk is not operable, and
their operation is hands-free.

Problem Solution
Problem with station
performance
Speaker volume too low. Adjust volume control.
Crosstalk One or more system cable pairs may be improperly terminated.
