HME SPP2 Installation Instructions Manual

Concrete Foundation

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The SPP2 Speaker Post requires a concrete foundation with four
anchor bolts and one or more conduits embedded in it. One
conduit must be installed for the audio cable. Additional
conduit(s) may be required for a vehicle detection cable and/or
for an AC electrical cable. These instructions are for installation
of the SPP2 concrete foundation at new drive-thru sites.

CAUTION: All electrical connections must be made

by a licensed electrical contractor.

If you have any questions regarding this installation, call HME
Customer Support at 1-800-848-4468.

1.0 Equipment Provided

For SPP2 Speaker Post

This surface is

6" to 10" above

the drive- thru

lane surface

1 ea Template
4 ea Anchor bolt with 2 hexagonal nuts

2.0 Material Required

Concrete, 6 cubic feet

3.0 Procedure

Step 1 Position the foundation so that water

will drain away from the base of the
speaker post. The top surface of the
foundation must be six to ten inches
above the surface of the drive-thru
lane. The side of the foundation must
be 2 feet or less from the side of the
drive-thru lane, and parallel to the lane
as shown in Figure 2.

Build a 24 x 24 inch form with its top
six to ten inches above the surface of
the drive-thru lane. Dig a hole in the
ground to a depth 18 inches below the
top of the form for pouring the concrete
foundation shown in Figure 1.

Step 2 Remove one of the two hexagonal nuts

from each of the anchor bolts.
Be certain the second nut is all the way

down to the bottom of the threaded
area on the anchor bolt as shown in
Figure 3.

Put the threaded end of each anchor
bolt through one of the ½ inch holes in
the template, and replace the nut on
the anchor bolt until it holds the
template snugly between the two nuts.

Position the "L" ends of the anchor bolts
outward, away from each other. Place
the anchor bolts into the hole in the
ground with the template ¼" to ½"
above the top of the form, as level as
possible. Be certain to comply with the
note on the template to place one edge
of the template "TOWARD DRIVE-THRU
LANE."

Step 3 Route the conduit (one or more) so

it/they will extend through the center of
the hole, and upward approximately 6
inches through the center of the
template as shown in Figure 4.

NOTE: If a loop-type vehicle detector
will be used, a separate conduit must
be dedicated for the loop cable.

Step 4 Hold the template steady, and fill the

hole with concrete to the bottom of
the template. Smooth the concrete,
sloping it away from the template
toward the form for proper drainage,
and allow it to dry.

After the concrete has dried, remove
the upper nuts and template from the
anchor bolts.
