SS16 Mounting
The SS16 is designed to be located in a hallway or corridor of a building in a location near devices that will
connect to it. The cabinet should be located away from any machinery as well as florescent lighting, and if
necessary SS16 cabling should cross power cabling at right angles (avoid long parallel runs). The SS16
cabinet can be installed on a wall or above the ceiling tile in the air plenum.
The SS16 can be located at a distance from the central cabinet. Wiring losses need to be taken into
consideration to determine the maximum distance an SS16 can be located away from the central cabinet.
Powering remote devices such as motion sensors, etc from the SS16 is possible. When it’s required to
source > 150 mA DC at 12V to remote devices, a local class II rated +12VDC power source can be
connected to the 2.1mm DC power jack located on the side of the chassis as shown in figure 19.
Figure 17 below shows the mounting brackets for the SS16. #8 screws should be used when attaching the
SS16. Choose the appropriate type of screws for the wall type being fastened to. The top mounting hole is
masked off so that a ring lug and 16 AWG wire can be used for connecting the chassis to a solid earth or
electrical ground. This connection is necessary, as it provides a means of diverting high level transient
voltages entering the SS16 on the audio lines to a solid earth ground.
