Enclos ure Placement
All GAI-Tronics Page/Par t y® units are wired in parallel. Good system layout design minimizes the cable
required for each installation. GAI-Tronics multi-conductor cable, designed especially for this
application, is recommended. The number, size, and color-coding of conductors are listed in the
accompanying system connection diagrams.
System layout and power cable length are very important when installing Page/Party< equipment.
Although it varies for different systems, the general guideline is that the total power cable length should
not exceed 1 mile (5280 feet) for 115 V ac systems. The total cable length is the most important
consideration while cable length between the stations is generally not a factor.
Mounting
The Model 758-001 Weatherproof Speaker Amplifier Enclosure is supplied with pre-drilled cable
openings and conduit hubs with top and bottom cap plugs in place to prevent contamination.
Whenever possible, do not enter an enclosure from the top: bottom entry helps to prevent moisture from
dripping onto the terminals or PCBAs. There are four 0.44-inch diameter mounting holes in the corners
of the amplifier enc losure. Refer t o Figur e 1 . The sugges ted mounting h e ight f or all stat ion enc losures is
54 inches (137 cm).
