INSTALLATION

MR1. These units are intended to be wired to the input terminals of Sonance Connecting Blocks or other devices, using the supplied 3-terminal block in the remote room location. A 3- conductor cable (24 gauge up to 200', 22 gauge up to 600', 20 gauge up to 2000', 18 gauge up to 5000') is run to the main room. Connections are then made to a Sonance connecting block, power supply, and emitters as shown in the following illustration of a typical basic system:
