GE 800-EFM manual Install Amplifier and Speaker, Connect Wiring Block to Input of Amplifier

Installing Your External Paging Adapter

Step 5: Connect Amplifier and Speaker to Wiring Block

1 Install Amplifier and Speaker

Please follow the installation instructions that came with your amplifier and speaker.

Note that you may be installing a speaker with a built-in amplifier. These are called “amplified speakers” or “self-powered speakers”. In this case you would not need an external amplifier.

2 Connect Wiring Block to Input of Amplifier

Connect the input of the amplifier to the indi- cated screw terminals on the wiring block. Note that if the input level of the amplifier is less than -25dBm, you should connect the amplifier to the BLUE and BLACK wires. If the input level of the amplifer is greater than - 25dBm, you should connect the amplifier to the WHITE and BROWN wires.

Note that if you have connected a self-ampli- fied speaker, you would of course be connect- ing these terminals directly to the speaker.

Note that TMC does not include any cables for connecting the wiring block to the amplifier. This is because different amplifiers have many different types of input connectors. Some have RCA jacks, some have 1/8” jacks, some have screw terminals, and so on. Connector cables are sold many places, for example Radio Shack. (For instance their RCA plug to lug connector is part #42-2450, their 1/8” plug to lug connector is part #42-2454, and their lug to lug connector is part #42-2446.)

TMC recommends Valcom model V-1030C self-amplified speaker. This model expects input level from -15dBm to 10dBm. Therefore you would connect this model to the WHITE and BROWN wires.

Connect these terminals to the external paging amplifier if input level is greater than -25dBm
