INSTALLATION
Set up the Master Station and the Sub-Station in the desired locations. Run a length of
Talk-A-Phone #6303 (3-conductor shielded) cable between the Master and the Sub-
Station. Connect wire of corresponding color to same terminal number on both Master
and Sub-Station.
Underneath the Master and Sub-Station is a cable clamp. Remove screw on cable clamp
and pass interconnecting cable underneath clamp. Adjust cable clamp so that it holds
cable securely, and replace screw.
The Master Station is powered by a separate power supply (included), which connects
to the “+” and “-“ terminals on the terminal strip on the bottom of the unit. The black
wire on the power supply connects to the “-“ (minus) terminal, and the black with
white stripe wire connects to the “+” (plus) terminal. Should your installation require
grounding of the unit itself, you can connect a ground wire to the “G” terminal on that
terminal strip. The power supply cord should be routed through the strain relief on the
bottom of the chassis.
Care should be taken that no part of the cable is too near electric or telephone wiring,
etc., nor should it be shorted to any grounded conductors, radiators, pipes, beams, etc.,
and the bare wire at the various terminals should not short from one terminal to the
other nor the metal chassis. When staples are used to hold the cable in place, use only
insulated staples and do not drive them in so hard as to cause the wires inside the cable
to short to each other.
CONTROLS
VOLUME CONTROL:
Located at the left of the cabinet on the Master Station only.
Rotate clockwise to increase volume.
TALK-LISTEN CONTROL:
Located on the right of the cabinet, (left on the K-LR-3W).
Basically, push in to “talk”; release to “listen”.
TRANSLUCENT INDICATOR:
Located to left and below volume control knob on
Master Station. Indicates that unit has power.
OPERATION OF MASTER STATION
Plug the power supply in and increase the volume control to maximum (rotate the
knob clockwise as far as it will go). Press the Talk-Listen Control and talk. Release the
Talk-Listen Control and listen. Then, adjust the Volume Control until desired volume is
obtained. If the system does not operate when DC current is used, reverse the plug in
the outlet to correct polarity. When AC current is used, reversing the plug in the outlet
may reduce hum. System is designed to operate with minimal hum under normal
conditions.
