INSTALLATION
This system is designed for one Master and one Sub-Station. Connect more than one Sub-Station when
you want simultaneous communication to and from more than one location. The volume of the Master
will divide between the number of Sub-Stations in use. Only one Master can be used per system.
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 some Sub-Stations 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 (part #86354), 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”.
STANDBY SWITCH: This is the second (smaller) push-button switch located just to the left of the talk-
listen control. When the Master is in non-private mode, this switch allows the user to silence incoming
sounds from the Sub-Station (pushed out) or allow the user to answer hands-free (pushed in).
TRANSLUCENT INDICATOR: Located to left and below volume control knob on Master Station.
Indicates that unit has power.
PERFORMANCE CONTROL: Located on the bottom of the master is the “private/non-private” switch. In
“non-private” mode, you can monitor the sub-station and persons at the sub-station can speak hands-
free. When in “private” mode, persons at a sub-station with a talk-listen switch can call the Master by
depressing the talk-listen switch on the sub-station, causing a tone to be heard at the master.
BUZZER VOLUME CONTROL: Located on the bottom of the master, this switch controls the volume
level of the incoming tone.
