III. Physical Installation

1. Install one 3/4” nut and one washer on each anchor bolt 2.5”-3.5" above grade to top of washer. This
will allow for a 1/2" air gap between the foundation and the tower which will allow airflow and prevent
moisture problems. Verify that the nuts are level (0° pitch).

NOTE: To insure proper grounding of all electrical components, the tower mount should be effectively earth grounded
from the grounding stud (located across from the lower access panel) with 6 AWG or better insulated, stranded copper
wire to the metallic power service raceway (conduit) or an 8' or longer corrosion-resistant ground spike.

2. After removing the lower access panel of the tower, install the tower onto the bolts with the
Emergency Phone opening oriented in the desired direction. Install second set of nuts and washers.
Tighten the upper nuts; the bottom set is only for leveling.

4. Remove the rear access panel (top) of the tower and mount the paging amplifier vertically aligned
(power connection / speaker output side facing up and audio input side facing down) with the help of
four (4) #10-32 screws and nuts provided. Also mount the WEBS-VCU on to the upper mounting
panel of the tower as shown in Figure 2. Connect the paging amplifier audio input channels to the
respective audio outputs on the WEBS-VCU via RCA audio cables provided. (e.g. Amplifier audio
input channel 1 to WEBS-VCU audio output 1).

5. If using the WEBS-BACKUP option, place the mounting shelf on the two L-brackets located in the
lower section of the tower. Rest the batteries in the upright position on the shelf. Mount the WEBS­UPS-84-20 on to the mounting panel and secure the assembly in place onto the mounting screws
provided.

DIN Rail Terminal Block, terminal no. 23 and 25 as shown in Table 1.

Connect the battery input cables (red and black cable with ring terminals on each end) to the
terminals of one battery (Red cable to the positive terminal of the battery and black cable to the
negative terminal of the battery). Repeat the same procedure for the second battery.

Connect the 120 VAC input cable (cable with three prong connector on end) to a 120VAC power
source.

OR

Install the power supply at a convenient position on the mounting panel provided. Connect the power
supply to 120 VAC on one end and connect the other end to the DIN Rail Terminal Block, terminal no.
23 and 25 as shown in Table 1.

WEBS-MT/R Tower Installation Instructions

6. Install the LED light board over the phone opening. A polycarbonate light cover protects the LED light
assembly from the inside. Peel the protective paper off the light cover and fit it onto the studs inside
the tower. Slide the LED board over the studs with the LEDs facing down. The built-in spacers will
keep the LEDs from resting on the acrylic window. Tighten down using the enclosed nuts. Be careful
not to over tighten to avoid cracking the circuit board.

7. Install the DIN rail on the two welds studs behind the phone opening. Install the local paging
microphone and mounting bracket inside the microphone compartment as shown in Figure 3. Attach
the instructional label below (provided) on to the inner surface of the microphone compartment door.

NOTE: The microphone gets activated two seconds after depressing the microphone switch.

Figure 3. Installing the Local Paging Microphone, DIN Rail Terminal Block and Emergency Phone.

8. Attach the Emergency Phone to the tower with six (6) 10-24 oval head tamperproof screws (included
with the phone). When using an ETP-400 Series Emergency Phone connect the phone line coming
into the tower to the male RJ11 connector coming from the Emergency Phone. An outdoor rated
RJ11 female modular jack on the end of the incoming phone line is strongly recommended.

9. Re-attach the rear access panels to the tower.

NOTE: It is the installer’s obligation to ensure compliance with all national, regional, and local

regulations. ALL WIRING MUST USE DRIP-LOOPS.

3. Connect the WEBS-VCU and the DIN Rail Terminal Block as shown in Figure 5. If using the IP
paging module (WEBS-CM-2 or VOIP-500 Series Emergency Phone), connect the respective wires
to the WEBS-CM-2 Input port on the WEBS-VCU. If using the analog paging module (WEBS-ZPS)
connect the respective wires to the WEBS-ZPS Input port on the WEBS-VCU. The unused cable
wires should be individually insulated from each other.
