D. Mounting the Intercom
The selection of the mounting location for the device, its controls and the routing of the
wiring is to be accomplished under the direction of the facilities and the safety engineer.
NOTE
Intercoms supplied with flexible cords for connection to field wiring
are not intended for permanent mounting.
The intercom is intended to be mounted on any relatively flat and rigid surface
by the two mounting ears on the exterior of the housing. Figure 9 on page 15 is a
dimensional outline drawing showing the proper mounting configuration. The two
mounting ears are 13/32" diameter holes spaced 5.68" apart. Hardware for mounting
the intercom to the surface shall be provided by the installer.
This unit is heavy and should be mounted on a rigid surface
capable of supporting the weight of the intercom.
For shipboard applications, installations shall be in accordance with the United States
Coast Guard, Title 46 CRF, Parts 110‑113.
For units using the noise cancelling hand‑held microphone, install the supplied
microphone mounting clip on any rigid surface near the intercom. Avoid locating the
microphone where it may be exposed to excessive moisture or dust.
E. Electrical Connections
Plug each intercom into a nearby power source. Connect the audio inputs in parallel.
Audio wires should be sized properly by your licensed installation electrician for your
specified application.
