IV. System Wiring Overview
A. Pre-Wiring (Rough-In)
The rough-in of the inQuire™ 1000 Intercom System should be completed
during the construction phase of the home and prior to the installation by the
home builder of any wall covering such as drywall. The following section will
instruct you on the proper methods to pre-wire your cable and rough-in the
opening for the various inQuire™ 1000 Intercom System components (see
Figure 3).
1. Main Console Unit
The procedure to rough-in the Main Console Unit is as follows:
•
Since the Main Console Unit provides status LEDs for monitoring of
the entire intercom system, it is recommended that this unit is
installed in a central location. Traditionally, this unit is installed in
the kitchen area. Verify the location with the homeowner before
proceeding.
• The Main Console Unit mounts in a standard 3 gang electrical box.
The use of an enclosed box rather than an open mud ring will help
minimize the potential for feedback between units.
• Any UL approved metal or plastic gang box can be used.

Figure 12 - inQuire™ 1000 Main Console Operation
TALK: Depressing this button will allow you to
communicate with all other active units. Hold in the TALK
button while speaking, and let it go when you are done.
Your voice will be heard on any active Room, Patio, or
Desktop Unit within the system.
ANSWER LED: This LED is located at the top of the
keypad. When lit, the LED indicates that the
microphone in the unit is active and anything you say
will be communicated through the system. This LED
will light when you are depressing the TALK or
DOOR buttons.
DOOR: Depressing this button will allow you to
communicate with all Door Units that are part of
your system. Hold in the DOOR button while
speaking and let it go when you are done. Your
voice will be heard on any active Room, Patio, or
Desktop Units and all Door Units within the system.
TALK HANDS FREE: Press and hold this button
while talking to put all active Room Units in Hands
Free Mode. All active (not in Mute or Monitor Mode)
Room Unit’s microphones are activated, so that
other intercom users can communicate without
pressing their TALK buttons. The Hands Free
Mode stays in effect for 20-30 seconds or until the
TALK HANDS FREE button on the Main Console is
pressed again.
VOLUME: There are two volume control buttons
with an associated volume level LED bar. There are
20 different volume levels which are adjusted up
and down using these two buttons. Pressing the
volume up button once will increase the volume one
level higher. You may not see the LEDs change
until you press the volume up or down multiple
times (approximately every sixth button press). You
can also hold in the volume up or down button until
you have reached the desired volume level. It is
recommended that you keep the volume level in the
middle position (3 LEDs lit) for optimum sound
quality.
KEYPAD BRIGHTNESS:
If the default Dim level of the backlit buttons is not
adequate for the user, then press both Volume
buttons at the same time and release them. Use the
Up or Down Volume button to brighten or dim the
default backlight level. When the desired level is
reached, either push both buttons at the same time
again to resume normal operation, or just let the
Unit time out (after about 10 seconds) to return to
normal operation.
NOTE: When in use, the Unit’s backlight level is
at full brightness and returns to the set
backlight Dim level upon timeout (about 10
seconds).
DOOR RELEASE: Pressing the DOOR RELEASE button will
engage the door release device (not included with the
Intercom System) if a door release device is installed. Once
you let go of the button, the door release device will be
disengaged, which will lock the door again.
STATUS LEDs: Each LED indicates the status of each
Room Unit in the system. A GREEN light indicates that the
Room Unit’s Talk or Door button is depressed and someone
is talking with the unit. A RED light indicates that the Room
Unit is in MUTE mode and that all speaker and microphone
functions of the unit are disabled. An ORANGE light indicates
that the unit is in Monitor mode and its microphone is
currently active. Pre-printed and blank labels are included in
the package to identify LEDs.
PATIO UNIT DISABLE: If a Patio Unit is installed in Port #11
and security mode was enabled by removing the shunt on J3
on the rear of the Intercom Module, the Patio Unit can be
disabled temporarily by simultaneously pressing and releasing
the TALK and DOOR RELEASE buttons on the Main Console
Unit. The Patio Unit Status LED should blink slowly Red and
then Green. To re-enable the Patio Unit, again simultaneously
press and release the TALK and DOOR RELEASE buttons on
the Main Console Unit.
