SECTION 1

STANDARD INSTALLATION DETAILS

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

The common equipment cabinet should be attached vertically to any sturdy, flat surface. It may be vertically rack-mounted if desired.

The cabinet must be located within six feet of a proper electrical outlet. The system requires a dedicated 117VAC 15 AMP circuit, with a third-wire ground, supplied to a standard electrical outlet (NEMA 5-15R).

The distance between the common equipment and the TELCO/PBX jacks must be 25 feet or less as per FCC requirements. A nominal distance of 7 feet is recommended.

The mounting location must be secure and dry and have adequate ventilation. The temperature range of the location must be within 32-l 22 degrees F (O-50 degrees C), and the relative humidity must be less than 90 percent non-condensing.

If the mounting surface is damp or if it is concrete or masonry material, a backboard must be attached to the mounting surface to be used for common equipment mounting. Suitable mounting backboards are available commercially or can be constructed out of in-inch plywood cut to size.

SPECIAL MOUNTING CONSIDERATION

When the battery back-up is to be included as part of the installation, the optional external batteries, cable assembly, the common equipment, and the wiring connections must be located in a dedicated equipment room (as defined in the National Electric Code published by The National Fire Protection Association, Quincy MA, 02269).

TOOLS AND HARDWARE

Fasteners - wood screws (l/4 x 1 -inch round head), toggle bolts, or -wall anchors

Screwdriver-to match fasteners

•Connecting tool - for fastening wires to a type-66 connector block.

•Crimping tool - for 623-type modular plugs

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

1.Unpack and carefully inspect all equipment for shipping damage. Notify the shipper immediately of any damages found. Verify that the packages contain all parts and accessories needed for proper installation and operation.

2.If a backboard is required at the mounting location, attach it securely to provide a stable mounting surface for the equipment.

3. Refer to Flgure 3-lfor the locating dimensions required for the three mounting screws, and mark their locations on the mounting surface.

4. Drill holes in the mounting surface of a proper size to accommodate the hardware being used. If necessary, prepare these holes with inserts, anchors or other attachment devices as dictated by the type of mounting surface.

5. Insert the two top screws into the mounting surface and tighten them to within approximately l/8-inch of the surface.

6. Hang the cabinet on the top screws using the mounting holes located on the rear of the cabinet. Note that these holes are elongated with an enlargement at one end. This feature allows the cabinet to snap down on the screws to secure the mounting when the cabinet is hung on them.

7.Insert a third screw through the mounting tab located on the lower edge of the cabinet and into the mounting surface, and tighten it into place.

8.Place the individual telephone stations as desired and in keeping with accepted industry and off ice standards. A telephone station can be wall mounted if necessary as they are desk/wall reversible. Refer to Chapter 6, Maintenance, for instructions in preparing a desk/wall reversible station for wall mounting.
