• Repeat these instructions for each and every Room Unit that will be installed in the system
(maximum of 32).
Selective Call Patio Unit(s)
The procedure to rough-in the Patio Unit(s) is as follows:
• Typically the Patio Unit(s) will be installed on the exterior of the home next to a patio door.
Verify the Patio Unit(s) location(s) with the homeowner or builder before proceeding.
• Since the Patio Unit will most likely be installed on the exterior of the home and will be exposed
to weather conditions, these instructions must be followed to ensure a quality installation.
Brick or other cement-based material exteriors:
• On-Q offers a 2-gang back box (P/N IC5006-BK) which is matched to the shape of our
Patio Unit. The On-Q back box may be used with any typical 2 gang outdoor weatherproof
box. This box should be of the type that is made of heavy die-cast aluminum. Using a
heavy die-cast aluminum box will provide adequate strength in a brick or cement-based
exterior.
Vinyl or wood based siding material exteriors:
• The On-Q 2-gang back box (P/N IC5006-BK) may also be used for vinyl or wood-based
siding installation. It can also be used with a heavy duty die-cast aluminum 2 gang box that
is securely mounted to the interior framing. If this is not possible then it may be used with a
heavy duty metal 2 gang box that can be securely mounted to the interior framing of the
home.
• To ensure the 2 gang box that will be used to house the Patio Unit is roughed in correctly,
communication with the building contractor who is responsible for the exterior finish of the home
is highly recommended.
Brick or other cement-based material exteriors:
• The masonry contractor must be provided with specific instructions as to how the 2 gang
box should be installed including location, correct positioning, and proper depth.
• If possible, clearly mark this information on the home’s exterior insulation board or vapor
barrier material to serve as a reminder to the mason.
• The correct positioning of the 2 gang box may not be obvious to the masonry contractor.
Ensure that the masonry contractor knows which edge of the box is up so that the Patio
Unit can be installed in the correct vertical position.
• The 2 gang box should be installed by the masonry contractor so that it protrudes slightly
from the face of the brick.
Vinyl or wood based siding material exteriors:
• The 2 gang box can be roughed in to the exterior of the home by first cutting an opening
through the exterior base material of the home that is slightly larger than your 2 gang box.
• The 2 gang box (with or without our paintable back box) should then be securely mounted
to the interior framing of the exterior wall and protrudes through the exterior wall at a depth
that will need to be determined based on the type of siding that will finish the outside of the
wall.
• Ideally, you would want the siding contractor to use flashing and make use of J-channel
around the perimeter of the Patio Unit and 2 gang box to provide an attractive and
weatherproof siding installation. Siding contractors should use flashing and J-channel
around the perimeter of the Patio Unit just as they would with a window.
• Communication with the siding contractor is highly recommended to ensure a smooth
installation.
•
ONE
Cat 5e run is required to operate the Patio Unit.
• Run
ONE
Cat 5e cable from the 2 gang box directly to the enclosure where the Intercom
Module will be installed. Label both ends of your cable run to indicate “Patio Unit”. Follow the
wiring guidelines listed in this manual to ensure a quality cable installation.
NOTE: The Patio Unit can be connected to any of the 8 ports on the Intercom Distribution
Module (labeled 1-8).
