INSTALLATION GUIDE
3
Mounting the Base Station
Using the supplied wall mount with hardware follow the instructions provided in it to install the mount to the wall and the base.
Connecting Outside Post to the Base
Using the supplied terminal block, connect wires for the outside speaker, microphone, loop detector, and kitchen speaker
(if applicable). The terminal pinout can be found in the APEX Base Wiring section of the installation guide. Verify wiring at
all steps, as any mis-wiring may damage the microphone. Once all wires are connected to the terminal block and with the
base powered o, connect the terminal block to the corresponding lane terminal on the base station.
Warning: Do not connect the terminal block with a microphone and speaker wires to the base station while it is powered on.
Failure to follow this guideline will result in damage to the microphone and will void the system warranty.
Connecting Power to the Base Station
Using the supplied power supply, connect the terminal connector to the power terminal on the base station.
Once connected to the base station, plug the supply into the electrical outlet. Once plugged into the electrical
outlet a LED indicator light should be visible on the power supply and the base should begin its boot up process.
Base Station is Booting Up
Once power is connected to the base station it will begin its boot process. Once booted up all the way it will begin to check
for connections to the menu post. If all connections are good it will proceed to the main screen, but if it cannot connect to
the outside post microphone it will pop up a failed message. (See the Troubleshooting section for help).
Testing the System
Once the system is fully booted up testing can start. A headset with a fully charged battery is required.
• Follow the instructions in the operations manual to register the headset to the base station.
• Verify on the system that the system is ready and no system error messages have shown up on the screen.
• Testing the speaker and microphone at the menu post can be done in one of the following ways. Using a vehicle and parking it on
the loop will activate the system and alert the headset and allow testing to start. Also, putting the system into override will
activate the speaker and microphone at the menu post without the need for a vehicle on the loop to activate it. Please note
that if this method is used, the vehicle detector and loop will need to be tested separately to verify they are working.
Verify that after testing the system is taken out of override.
• With the system speaker and microphone activated, test the system and adjust speaker and
microphone volumes to levels that are needed for the specific location.
• If the kitchen speaker is in use, verify that system settings are correct for it and it is functioning.
• Verify all other settings on the system and refer to the operations manual for any specific questions on them.
