Mounting and Wiring
Mount the enclosure using the four 0.312-inch (8 mm) diameter holes located on the mounting flanges with ¼-inch (M6) hardware.
The ICS Page/Party
® Remote Subset Amplifier Station is not supplied with conduit or cable openings. Remove the front panel and
drill or punch entry openings in the rear section of the enclosure. Refer to Figure 2 for the suggested locations. There must be a
minimum of ½ inch (13 mm) of material between entry holes. The station is suitable for top or bottom entry per Figure 2. However,
GAI-Tronics recommends bottom entry only wherever possible. For specific details including mounting hole dimensions, refer to
Figure 2. When mounting the enclosure, use caution to avoid damaging the internal components.
Basic wiring connections are shown in Figure 3. Use GAI-Tronics 60029 series multi-party cable or 60038 series single party cable
terminated with #6 spade lugs. Torque the terminal block screws to 8–10 in-lbs. (0.90–1.13 n-m) when attaching the spade lugs.
