2.15 Audio Unit - Shaft Antivandal

Description

Typically, this audio unit is installed on lift shaft bottoms, cabin floors and roofs and/or any other places that require communication, e.g. for lift maintenance purposes. The audio unit features an orange robust aluminium case and is thus highly resistant against small falling objects, dripping oil and other hardships that might occur in lift shafts. This unit is designed for outdoor applications too. Press the ALARM button to establish connection with the control centre. The audio unit is equipped with an integrated microphone and speaker and, thanks to its dimensions and strength, provides a good and strong sound.

Bus Connection

Remove the audio unit cover. Pull the bus through the bushing and put it on terminal 2 using the connector enclosed. Maintain polarity (see the Audio Unit – Fireman Terminals, Connectors and Jumpers figure above).

Warning

  1. The audio unit is intended for 2N® Lift8 audio unit bus connection exclusively. Do not connect it to other wires to avoid its damage or destruction.

  2. Maintain polarity while connecting the audio unit to avoid audio unit error.

Caution

  1. The audio unit is powered via a 2-wire bus. Disconnection of these wires results in the audio unit switch-off.

Volume Control

Set the required volume using the trimmer (refer to the Description of Terminals, Connectors and Jumpers above) on the electronics board.

Caution

  1. Use the trimmer to set the best acoustic properties eliminating feedback.

Mounting Completion

  1. Having connected all the wires, check the bushings if used for proper tightening.
  2. Replace the front cover carefully. Make sure that the wire arrangement inside the device provides enough space for front panel insertion. Tighten the 4 screws thoroughly to push the panel by 1 mm further to the metal chassis. Use the Torx 20 spanner for tightening, for example.

Caution

  1. An improper mounting may result in the audio unit not being waterproof. Water leakage may damage the electronics.
  2. 2N® Lift8 Shaft Antivandal is assembled with stainless steel screws. If you lose them, never use other screws to avoid corrosion and screw appearance deterioration!
