5. EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
These instructions are for installation of standard SYS6700HD equipment and most commonly
used optional equipment. Specific instructions may also be enclosed with optional equipment.
Installation requirements may vary. Typical equipment locations are shown in Figure 3, next
page.
IMPORTANT : If you haven’t already done so, set up the battery charger and charge all headset batter-
ies in it while the other equipment is being installed.
5.1 Cable Pulling
Cable should have been pulled in advance (by a contractor) from the menu boards in the drive-
thru lane (if any) and each drive-up stall into the building. If none have been pulled, you will
need to do so before installing SYS6700HD equipment. If there is existing cable in a conduit
from each menu board, the conduit may be too small for any additional cables. If so, you can do
one of the following:
● For half-duplex systems , in retrofit installations, use the existing speaker wire as-is . . or . .
install all new cables in the existing conduit.
●
For full-duplex systems
, use the existing speaker wire and install new conduit next to the
old for additional new cables . . or . . remove the old conduit and cables, and install new,
larger conduit, then run all new cables through the larger conduit.
CAUTION
: If you do not use HME audio cable, be sure the speaker/microphone wires you use are a
twisted pair. For full-duplex installations, the speakers and microphones must use separate cables or
audio feedback will occur. Never run high-voltage cables in the same conduit with audio or loop cables.
The recommended HME audio cable contains four color coded, insulated wires and a bare shield
(drain) wire. Pull the cables (two for full-duplex, one for half-duplex) through the underground
conduit from the outside speaker post or menu board, and from the stalls into the building as
follows:
1. Run fish tape from inside the building through the conduit to the speaker post or menu board.
2. Go outside. If you are pulling more than one cable,
mark the cables and spools for
identification
. Fasten each cable to the fish tape where it comes out of the conduit, and go
back inside the building.
3. Pull the fish tape and cable through the conduit and into the building. As the cable comes
through the conduit, disconnect it from the fish tape and pull enough of it through the conduit
to reach the router.
4. Go outside again and route the cable from the outside conduit to the speaker and microphone
units in the speaker post or menu board.
5. Cut the cable, leaving about
3 feet of slack
. If more than one cable has been pulled,
mark the
ends of the cables again for identification
.
6. Remove about 2 inches of the outer insulation from the end of each cable. Strip about ½ inch of
insulation from each of the four wires in the cable.
7. When you have pulled all the cables into the building, route them together to the router
through walls and over ceiling panels if possible. Refer to the wiring diagrams, pages 54-60, for
connections.
