How to Install the AD-26-1-2 Wall Mount Intercom
Installation guide for mounting and wiring the AD-26-1-2 Atkinson Dynamics Wall Mount Intercom.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter, Drill (for mounting holes)
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Wire connectors, Appropriate gauge audio cable, Appropriate gauge power cable, Earth or Chassis Ground connection
- Prepare for Mounting
Select a suitable mounting location under the direction of facilities and safety engineers. Ensure the surface is flat, rigid, and capable of supporting the intercom's weight. For shipboard applications, follow United States Coast Guard, Title 46 CFR, Parts 110-113. If using a noise-canceling microphone, identify a location for the microphone mounting clip near the intercom, avoiding excessive moisture or dust.
- Mount the Intercom
Use the two mounting ears on the exterior of the housing to secure the intercom to the chosen surface. The mounting holes are 13/32" diameter and spaced 5.68" apart. Use hardware provided by the installer. Ensure the unit is securely mounted.
- Make Electrical Connections
Disconnect all power before making electrical connections. Connect the audio lines in parallel to other intercoms using appropriate gauge cable (16-20 gauge low voltage audio cable is recommended; shielded cable is only required in high electromagnetic fields). Connect the power source according to the model's requirements (12VDC, 24VDC, 120VAC, or 240VAC). Ensure Earth or Chassis Ground is terminated to the intercom for surge protection. Refer to the wiring diagrams in the manual for specific connections.
- Install Optional Resistor
If desired for noise reduction in certain environments, install the provided 1K, 1W resistor across the audio lines. Only one resistor is needed per system installation.
- Verify Installation
After all connections are made, restore power and test the intercom system. Verify that all functions operate as expected, including audio transmission, reception, and any special features (e.g., call button, external switches). Ensure there is no feedback between units in close proximity.
