CHAPTER 2

Installation

Mounting

Place the SSA-424A on a desktop, or install it in an equipment rack using an RTS MCP Rack Mount Kit. Several rack mount options are available. There are no special ventilation requirements for the SSA-424A, but allow for ventilation around the power pack.

If the SSA-424A has the call signal option, the power indicator flashes whenever a call signal is received from either 2-wire line, and activity on the level display helps to indicate which line is calling. If the SSA-424A is physically positioned near the 4-wire operator, this can be used as an incoming call indication for the 4-wire system, if desired (although other methods are available as described in “4-Wire Call Signal Connections” on page 8).

NOTE: You may wish to read about the internal mode DIP switches before mounting the SSA-424A. For further information, see Table 1 on page 15.

4-Wire Audio Connections

ADAM, ADAM-CS, or Zeus Audio Connection

1.Use standard 9-pin or RJ-11 keypanel cables. Connect from one port of your intercom system to J2A or J3A (System A connection) on the back of the SSA-424A. Connect from another port to J2B or J3B (System B connection).

2.On the SSA-424A front panel, set the 4W LEVEL REF SEL switches to the +8 dB position.

Audio Connections for the Other 4-wire Communications Systems

1.Construct 9-pin or RJ-11 cables to connect from the 4-wire system to the SSA-424A. To connect to the System A hybrid, use either J2A or J3A; for the System B hybrid, use either J2B or J3B. Pin connections are as follows:
