1. Introduction
This is the installation manual for the exchange, stations and other
components of TOA Intercom System EX-16. It includes an outline of the
system, an explanation of installation, cable connection, inspection
procedures and a troubleshooting guide. Careful study of this manual
is recommended prior to installation of the system.
This manual is only intended to give the information necessary for
proper installation of the system.
Prior to installation of the system, unpack the components of the
system to make sure that they are in order.
2. Introduction of the EX-16 System
Because the EX-16 System is a fully electronic intercom system, it has
the following features that surpass conventional mechanical systems.
1. All components of the exchange are designed according to the
modular concept. Each module and the integral terminals for
connecting stations are connected to the mother board, thus
eliminating wiring between the two, resulting in a sizable reduction in
the number of procedures required to install the system.
2. The exchange is a wall-mounted type for space conservation.
3. Wiring for each station is an independent 4-wire system which uses
a minimum number of connecting wires resulting in greater ease
in installation.
2.1 Exchange
2.1.1 Features
The features of the TOA EX-16 Intercom System are as follows:
1. All components of the exchange are designed as plug-in modules.
This results in a great increase in ease of maintenance, expansion,
and in speed of the system installation.
2. Extensive incorporation of IC's in the electronic circuits of the
exchange results in a highly compact, space-saving design and in
quieter operation than conventional intercom systems.
The system consists of only two types of basic electronic units.
This, in turn, means greater freedom in selection of an installation
site.
3. Since the system is completely electronic, power consumption is
kept to a minimum.

2.2 Stations
2.2.1 Features
The stations used in the Toa Intercom EX-16 have the following features:
1. Each station is provided with a male 4-pin plug (YC-102) for easy con-
nection to cables.
2. Wiring from the exchange to each station is an independent 4-wire
system. The fact that only 4 wires are necessary makes installation
easier, and with a 4-pin jack (YC-101 or YC-103) at the end of each
cable, connection can be made quickly with only a screwdriver.
There are three types of stations available: the desk-top type, the
flush-mounting type and the desk/wall type. Each type is available in 2
models (master and substation) and can be chosen in accordance with
requirements.

3. Installation of the EX-16 System
3.1 Precautions for Installation
3.1.1 Exchange
Pay particular attention to the following points:
* The layout should allow easy servicing and inspection.
* The exchange is compact and lightweight; however, it is important to
ascertain the strength of the wall on which it will be placed.
* The exchange should be grounded. When it is used in combination with
other systems (for example, with a PA system) the exchange should
be connected to the other components for common grounding.
* Choose a low "source noise" AC power supply for the exchange. Line
noise can affect speech quality.
* Make sure that the AC power circuit provides adequate insulation and
capacity.
This high-performance exchange is compact as well as quiet, and can be
easily installed almost anywhere. Areas described below, however, should
be strictly avoided.
* An area where it will obstruct traffic, for example, in a hallway or near
the entrance or exit of a room.
* An area where it will be exposed to fire, heat or direct sunlight. Suitable
ambient temperature is +32°~104°F (0°~40°C).
* A dusty area where it will be exposed to metal dust or dirt.
* Near a storage place for chemicals, oil, etc.
* An area subject to vibration.
* Near high-voltage equipment.
* In a strong electrical field.
* Near equipment vulnerable to the influence of an electrical field.
10
3.1.2 Stations
Particular attention should be given to the following points during
installation.
* A desk-type, wall-mounting-type or desk/wall-type should be chosen
according to the user's need.
* If the all-call paging or talk-back function is adopted, precautions should
be taken to ensure against feedback due to interference between the
station (microphone) and the paging or talk-back speaker; that is, they
should be installed facing different directions or separated as far as
possible from each other.
* The "para-branching" operation or the connection of more than one
station to one circuit is not possible.
* Adjust the volume switch and volume control on the station for com-
fortable speaker output level or for avoiding troublesome acoustical
conditions (e.g., reverberation or echo).
Stations are compact for easy installation almost anywhere. However, areas
described below should be strictly avoided.
* An area where it will be exposed to fire, heat or direct sunlight.
* A dusty area where it will be exposed to metal dust or dirt.
* Near a storage place for chemicals, oil, etc.
* An area subject to vibration.
* Near high-voltage equipment.
* In a strong electric field.
* On the same circuit as a SCR type light dimmer.
3.1.3 TKU-11
The talk-back unit is to be installed with an optional amplifier (10W max.)
in the place where the talk-back function is desired.
The speaker is to be a Hi-Z trumpet speaker installed on the ceiling or wall.
The optimum installation site for the speaker is approximately 2m from
speaking position. The talk-back unit should be placed by the optional
amplifier. The speaker should be installed as close to the talk-back unit
as possible.
Be sure to use shielded cable or twisted cable for the speaker wires to
prevent interference caused by high-voltage cables, electromagnetic
induction and high-frequency waves.
11
3.2 Cable Installation
Wire type, number of wire pairs and number of individual wires are to be
determined for individual sections of the wiring system according to the
guidelines set down below.
* 4-wire twisted pair cables are to be used for wiring between indoor
terminal boards, intermediate terminal boards, main terminal boards, etc.
* Outdoor wires should be used where wiring passes through inaccessible
areas such as in ceilings or under floors. Indoor wires may also be used,
however, in cases where there is no risk of deterioration due to exposure
to heat, etc.
* The number of cable pairs laid should be determined considering the
possibility of future expansion of the system.
* There is a limit to the diameter of cables that can be used to connect
stations to the terminals of EX-16. This limit must be taken into con-
sideration when planning the wiring of this system. The diameter should
measure between 0.016" (0.41mm) and 0.031" (0.79mm).
3.3 Core Diameter Versus Transmission Distance
The diameter of the cable to be used should be determined so that the set
limits for speech attenuation (3dB maximum for transmission from the
exchange to the station) and for the DC resistance (DC loop resistance: less
than 300 ohms) are met.

3.4 Wiring
General Information
* Wiring should be done independent of public telephone lines.
* The wiring conduit is often installed underground or embedded in
building structures such as walls and floors, so care should be taken
to draw up a wiring plan that has ample reserve for future extension of
the system and that can be adapted to future remodelling or expansion
of the building it is housed in. Wiring systems must be planned with
ample wires, a conduit and with provisions for additions to the system.
Spacing
Since the working voltage of this system is low and the current passing
through it is small, there is no major safety problem involved in the wiring.
However, since interference due to contact with other indoor wiring can
cause wire damage, leakage and other problems, spacing should be given
close consideration when the small-current wiring of this system is laid
close to other indoor wiring, particularly AC wiring.
The following chart lists spacing standards to be followed in respect to
typical causes of interference.
Cause of Interference
Heating pipe
Water pipe
Radio transmitting coaxial
cables (CB and other).
Telephone wire.
Radio/TV antenna coaxial
cables & twin lead.
Ground cable.
Protected heating and
cooling pipes
Minimum
spacing
acceptable

4" (10 cm)
Remarks
This minimum spacing
requirement should be
observed, since intercom
cable is vulnerable to heat.
More spacing is required
where there is a risk of
induction.
13
3.5 Piping
* Where wiring is to be passed through a wall or the like, it should be
protected by a hard PVC or metal tube.
* If the number of connecting wires between an indoor terminal board
and a station is small and the station's site is fixed so that it will not be
moved frequently, install a box at that site and pull wiring through a
metal or hard PVC tube as required by job or ordinance.
* Use a floor duct if the number of connecting wires is large and the
stations are likely to be moved frequently.
* Station wiring which must be laid across open areas of floor should be
protected by plastic or metal shields. (See drawing below.)

3.10 Connection of the Speaker Station
In the EX-16, instead of using a station, a speaker for one-way conversation
can be installed using a jumper in the LAU-16.
This is possible at each station position on the LAU-16.
3.10.1 Wiring Procedure
(a) First, determine the number of station speakers to be installed. (Any number
of station speakers may be connected within the limits of the station
numbers from No. 2 to No. 17.)
(b) Use the Wiring Instruction Chart to determine the LAU No. and Jumper No.
corresponding to the station number. (See page 24.)
(c) Remove the corresponding LAU-16 from the mother board.
(d) Connect the corresponding jumper points with the jumper wire. (See page
24.)
3.10.2 Speaker Volume Adjustment
1. Speakers with an impedance of 600 ohms or more may be used without
the need for a transformer.
If it is desired to use lower impedance speakers, a transformer should be
used to assure proper impedance matching.
2. Volume may be controlled only when:
(a) a matching transformer is used.
To exchange
(b) a resistor is connected.
To exchange
The Rs value should be decided in accordance with the speaker impedance
so that the volume is on a suitable level.
22
3.10.3 Connection with the Exchange
Connect speakers to terminals 1 and 2 as shown in the diagram. (Leave
terminals 3 and 4 open.)
3.10.4 On/Off Control of BGM
BGM can be turned off when the jumpers are connected as shown in the
diagram. If the jumpers are not connected, BGM will be heard from the
speaker stations constantly. (See page 24.)
23
Jumper for Speaker Station Selection
Jumper for BGM On/Off
For BGM on/off operation remotely, the
control line can be extended the same way
as for station wiring.
24
How to Connect the Jumper Wire
1. Use a 0.6mm diameter plated wire as jumper.
2. Solder on the soldered end.
3. Use a so ldering iron with less than 30W power
and with minimum leakage.
Be careful not to touch other parts.
4. Installation Adjustment
4.1 Inspect Before Turning Power On.
* Before supply power, check the power connections (power connections
should be complete) and the fuse. Also, voltage selector should be set
correctly. All modules should be in place.
Check the ROM on the CPU-16. It should be set securely in the socket.
Make sure that exchange and stations are properly connected.
* Turn power on.
* AC indicator lamp on the DSM-16 should go on. If not, electricity is not
on. Turn off power and check the connections and fuses.
* Handle plug-in units with care; plug-in units incorporate CMOS. After the
exchange is turned on, do not attempt to disconnect the plug-in units.

4.3 Testing
After: 1. wiring is completed
2. power is turned on and all system functions are checked,
then, testing for adjustment should be carried out. The plug for each station
should not be connected until the speech test is started.
26
4.3.1 Precedure
(1) Turn on power switch on the exchange.
(2) Adjust the sound level of the external PA paging and check the power
remote function.
(a) Connect one station.
(b) Press buttons and to test the sound level. Adjust the volume
control of the external amplifier.
(3) Complete a speech test with each of the other stations.
(a) Connect the plug for the station to be tested.
(b) Dial the station number. Check the sound level and the speech quality.
(c) Dial and . If a howling noise is heard, then the paging or speaker
stations are too close together.
(4) After the speech test is completed for all stations, the sound level adjust-
ment for BGM should be done. To begin, the sound level should be set
so that the BGM is heard from all stations when the power switch of the
exchange is turned on. To turn off the BGM, press the key once.
4.3.2 Adjusting Method
(a) If exchange does not work:
(1) Turn off the power and disconnect all units from the mother board.
(2) Turn on the power and check the DC voltage at the points on the
mother board illustrated below.
27
(3) If the voltage measured is normal at every point, connect one unit
at a time checking the voltage after each connection.
(4) If the voltage is upset after connecting any given unit, the unit is to
be replaced.
(b) If there is no response to dialing:
(1) Disconnect the plug for the particular station from the line and
check the wiring between the exchange and the station.
(2) If no wiring error is detected, test after changing each station.
(3) If preceding steps do not remedy the situation, replace the units
attached to the station in the same order as the LAU-16 and CPU-16
and test again.
(c) In the event of a conversation failure or persistent noise during
conversation,
(1) Disconnect the plug between each station and the exchange and
check the wiring.
(d) If conversation is frequently interrupted:
(1) If speech from A to B is interrupted, turn down the volume control
of speaker at B's station.
(2) If speech from B to A is interrupted, turn down the volume of
speaker at A's station.
(3) If conversation is interrupted both ways or block oscillation
should occur upon ceasing of the ringing tone, turn down the
volume at both stations.
Note 1: The volume control is located at the back of the station. Adjust with
a small (—) screwdriver.
Note 2: The above-mentioned trouble tends to occur when the station is
installed in a room subject to echo or reverberations or when the
station is not located properly with respect to the walls of the room it
is in. Avoid installation of the station in any of the locations illus-
trated in the following diagram.
