Room Stations
Careful consideration must be given to present and/or future layout of
furniture so as not to locate stations in inappropriate positions.
To avoid audio feedback, room stations should be kept at least 12 to
16 feet away from other stations. Never have more than one station
in any one room and avoid mounting stations in the same wall cavity
i.e. directly below and above one another in a two storey house.
A suitable height is generally 55” from the floor to the center
of the unit.
Stations located on timber frame walls should be located adjacent
to a
stud to allow for firm fixing.
Stations located on cavity brick walls will require the installation of wall
boxes.
Stations installed on single brick walls will also require wall boxes however
the cable will need to be chased and conduited into the brick wall.
The rear of the brick wall will need to be rendered or lined as the depth
of a room station is approximately the same as a brick.
Where stations are required in bathrooms or laundries, they must be kept
clear of water or steam.
Where stations are mounted on a tiled surface, a wall box should be
installed prior to lining/tiling of the walls and the tiles will need to be cut
to the inside dimensions of the wall box.
Where room stations are mounted outside and are exposed to the
weather, the fitting of weather proof covers will be required.
Stations must not be installed in saunas.
