If you intend to mount the metal RDC-1 speaker intercom box on
an outside wall, it will be necessary to route the special
connecting cable through a hole in the exterior wall.
To make the routing process easier and the required hole
smaller, we suggest routing the end of the cable that contains
the 3 spade lugs. You will need to spearate the front of the RDC-
1 from the back and disconnect the three spade lugs from the
screw terminals.
When ready to pass the cable through the hole, attach a “pull
line” BELOW the crimp attachment point of the spade lugs and
gentely pull the cable through the hole (refer to Figure-2).
The RDC-1 Speaker Intercom Box can be secured to virtually to
any surface (INDOOR/OUTDOOR) using up to four (4) screws
(not included).
Installation of RDC-1:
(Refer to Figure-2)
1. Determine the method of securing the RDC-1.
a. Use the holes in the mounting tabs on the sides of the
RDC-1.
b. OR Use the mounting holes located directly on the back
of the RDC-1.
2. Determine
the
routing of the RDC-1 Cable.
a. Through the back of the RDC-1.
b. OR Through the bottom of the RDC-1.
3. Choose a size, type of screw thread and screw length which
will hold firmly in the surface to which the unit will be
mounted.
4. If required, drill the (2) holes to secure the RDC-1 into the
wall mounting surface.
5. If required, drill the hole to route the RDC-1 Cable through
the mounting surface. The hole must be large enough to
pass the cable end containing the (3) spade lugs. We
suggest a 0.5”(1/2”)minimum diameter size hole.
6. Route the RDC-1 Cable through the drilled hole.
7. Using the included Torx bit, remove the (2) T-25 TORX
screws securing the front and rear panels of the RDC-1.
8. Secure the rear panel of the RDC-1 to the mounting surface
using the (2) screws selected in Step 3.
9. If routing RDC-1 Cable through the bottom of the rear panel,
remove the conduit plug, install the require length of conduit,
and route the RDC-1 Cable through the conduit into the
RDC-1 box.
10. CAREFULLY re-connect the (3) spade lugs of the RDC-1
Cable to the (3) correct screw terminals located on the
inside of the front panel.
Take care to
match the name on the spade lug label to
the same name printed near the screw terminal (refer to
Figure-2).
11. Secure the RDC-1 Cable to the RDC-1 rear panel tab using
the small cable tie (refer to Figure-2).
12. Place the RDC-1 front panel over the rear panel and secure
with the (2) T-25 TORX screws.
13. You may want to consider routing the connecting cable
through conduit and attaching the conduit to the RDC-1
(back or bottom hole). The hole size in the RDC-1 is
0.875”(7/8”).
