iCENTRAL MINICOM INSTALLATION MANUAL
2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The following general procedures must be observed in relation to the location and
installation of Minicom components:
Stations are not to be installed “back to back” or in “line of sight” of each other
as this will cause feed-back (squealing).
Where stations are to be fitted externally, appropriate measures to provide
weather protection are to be taken.
Avoid running intercom cable parallel to electrical wiring.
The plugpack should be located in an area with sufficient space to dissipate heat.
Guidelines for maximum cable lengths as set out in this manual are to be observed
to avoid the possibility of operating problems due to excessive voltage drop.
The maximum number of Room and Door stations used in a system is generally
limited to 4 in total.
CAUTION:
Failure to use specified cable may cause problems with the
performance of the system.
IMPORTANT:
Responsibility will not be taken for problems that arise from the
improper use of cable or interference generated externally to the
system.
Interference by light dimmers, fluorescent lighting and similar
electrical products, must be corrected at the source.
An aid to reducing the effects of this type of interference is to place
stations and wiring no closer than 30cm (12”) from any AC device
or wiring.
The circuitry of the intercom has been designed to minimize the
effects of Radio Frequency Interference however, total immunity to
this type of interference cannot be guaranteed where the levels of
interference generated are extreme.
