Cross-Lane System Installation
Description
The Cross-Lane system is designed for facilities that have two menu signs. It consists of two base stations that are
connected to a Cross-Lane Module. A Cross-Lane Module is a five-pole switch that allows the two systems to be
separated during hours of peak activity. Refer to the installation instructions included with the Cross Lane Module
(78–6911–4396–6). These instructions are also located in the C960 Service Manual.
A Cross-Lane Module can be useful if the manager wishes to operate each lane with a separate crew during periods
of peak activity. This is accomplished by turning the Cross-Lane switch OFF. By pressing the T1 button on any
headset, the operator can communicate with a customer at menu sign 1. By pressing the T2 button on any headset,
another operator can communicate with a customer at menu sign 2. When the Cross-Lane Module is OFF, the
operator will only hear the vehicle detector alert from the menu sign with which he or she last talked.
During periods of lower activity, the Cross-Lane Module is turned ON, allowing one headset order-taker to operate
both lanes. When the cross-lane module is turned ON, the operator will always hear vehicle detector alerts from
both menu signs. A single alert indicates a vehicle is at menu sign 1 while a double alert indicates a vehicle is at
menu sign 2.
Installation
Important!
Both base stations must be set to the same channel number and different lane numbers.
Both base stations must be at least 20 feet apart.
Wiring the System
Run a proper length of 20 AWG twisted-pair, shielded audio cable between the Cross-Lane Module and
each Base Station as shown in Figure 1.
