INSTALLATION
Place each station in the desired location. Run a separate length of TALK-A-PHONE #6303 (3-conductor
shielded) cable from each Sub-Station to the Master. Connect as shown in diagram on following page:
Connect bare wire of #6303 to terminal “R” on the Master and to terminal “3” on Sub. Note that wire from
terminal “2” on each Sub-Station connects to terminal number of the Sub-Station in the system. Note
also that lead wires (of matching colors to TALK-A-PHONE cable) extend from rear of model K-LR-3W,
and are used for connection. Model K-LR-3 has terminal strips.
Underneath the Master (and desk style Sub-Station) 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 no. 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.
STATION SELECTOR SWITCHES: Located across front of the cabinet on the Master Station only. To
select Sub-Station corresponding to number above switch, push "in" with slight pressure. More than one
switch can be depressed at the same time. Return switches to “off” position by pushing again.
TALK-LISTEN CONTROL: Located on the right of the cabinet, (left on the K-LR-3W). Push in to “talk”;
release to “listen”.
TRANSLUCENT INDICATORS: There is one located to the right and below the volume control knob on
Master Station which indicates that unit has power. Adjacent to each station selector switch is a
translucent indicator which will go “on” to indicate that a call is coming in from that particular sub-station.
The light will go out when that station selector switch is pushed “in” to answer the incoming call.
INCOMING TONE CONTROL: The incoming tone volume, which is controlled by the volume control
setting of the master, can independently be made louder or softer by moving the two position switch on
the bottom of the unit.
