Installing Vitalinq™ speakers
6.2.1 Installing speakers in ceiling
There are two modular, gray eight conductor jacks on the communication speaker and music
speakers. The Ethernet cables can be connected to the speakers in any convenient sequence.
The speakers mount in the ceiling.
1. Determine placement of all speakers. In the procedure room, a communications speaker
should be located in the general area near the physician and more than six feet away from
the monitor microphone and the door to the control room (ideally above and just behind
the physician). A right music speaker should be located at the table end that would be to the
right of the physician, and a left music speaker at the table end that would be to the left of
the physician.
2. In the control room, the communication speaker should be more than six feet away from
the desk microphone and the door to the procedure room. Music speakers should be located
left and right of where the operator is typically seated.
3. Remove the ceiling tiles (if present) in the locations you have determined for the
ceiling devices.
4. In the speaker box, the communication speakers are packed individually and are marked
COMM. The two (2) pairs of music speakers are packed individually, two left and two right
and are marked MUSIC. A speaker support plate is provided for each speaker.
* Be careful when handling the support plate as the edges can be sharp!!
5. Take the ceiling tiles (if present) you removed in step 2 and draw a straight line on the
backside from corner to corner. Place the support plate over the lines you drew on the tile
and line up the template with the lines to center the template. The plate must not extend
past the edges of the tile. Mark the circle and cut it out with a knife or drywall saw. The
hole should be 6-5/8” diameter. Remove the grille of the speaker by rotating the securing
legs on the back of the speaker and gently pushing them down towards the speaker grille.
Replace the legs after grille removal to their original position. Put the speaker in the hole
from the front side of the tile. Position the support plate over the speaker on the rear of the
tile. Rotate out the legs on the back and screw down the four phillips head screws on the
front to pull the legs against the support plate.
Be careful not to over tighten the screws
.
If needed after installation, the grill may be removed with a bent paperclip.
