Precabling / Wiring Instructions
UConnect Mini is an all in one, remade hearing augmentation hub
which comes to site at the last stage of construction. For the purpose
of prewiring/cabling, a sample UConnect Mini will be provided.
The basket shown is screwed to sides of vertical and horizontal studs
with the rim of the hub overhanging over the front of the studs by the
same thickness as the wallboard being used. For example, if you are
using 10mm Gib Board, ensure that the rim sits out by 10mm.
Wallboard must surround the hub and not overlap the basket.
Dimensions of the basket for the purpose of the hole in the wallboard
is 285 mm x 250 mm. Depth of basket is 80 mm. A frame screws to the
basket, and plate (complete with storage box) clips into the frame.
Redcat/Media Connector is a teacher microphones, AV audio control-
ler, amplifier and receiver. Media Connector screws to the wall to
cover the 30mm hole in wallboard shown. Cables run between the
Media Connector and the UConnect Mini. If the top of the UConnect
basket is screwed to a horizontal stud, a 30 mm hole is required in
the stud to allow for these cables to be run between the two compo-
nents.
Speakers(s) distribute audio for best listening conditions, and hearing
aided children can connect transmitters to receive augmentation of
audio direct to receivers built into hearing aids.
