Installation Installation Overview of Installation Installation involves the following main steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Design the installation Install the battery charger and begin charging the batteries. Install the order point speaker and microphone assemblies. Install the base station(s). Install the vehicle detector loop(s). Install accessory boards in the base station(s). Required Materials (Not Supplied) • • • • Standard or surface-mount conduit (metal or plastic) to enclose all system wiring.
Installation Determine the Drive Thru Type(s) Following is a brief description of each drive thru type: • A Single Drive Thru (see Figure 1) is the most common configuration. It is comprised of one lane of traffic with one order point, and one or two drive thru windows for payment and pick up.
Installation • A Side-by-Side Drive Thru, (See Figure 3) also known as a “Y” or “Merge” drive thru, is comprised of two lanes of ordering traffic sideby-side, each with its own ordering point, but merges into a single lane with one or two drive thru windows for payment and pick up.
Installation • • Single drive thrus always have one base station. Tandem, Two lane, and Side-by-Side (Y-Merge) drive thrus always have two base stations, and they must be wired together as a pair. Number and Type of Vehicle Detectors There can be several vehicle detectors for each base station. • • • There is always one vehicle detector at the ordering point. There is usually a vehicle detector at each drive thru window.
Installation 8. 9. Insert each battery to be charged into a slot on the charger. The charge indicator lights for each slot will light steadily red to indicate that the battery is charging or green to indicate that the battery is fully charged. When charging is complete, the batteries are ready for use. Notes: A fully discharged (dead) battery can take as long as 3 ½ hours to recharge. Fully charged batteries should be stored whenever they are not in use.
Installation Pre-Testing the Location Before you permanently mount the base station(s), one person can pre-test the signal using the following procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Temporarily mount the base station where you think it may have good range. Power the base station. Register two headsets. Change the order taking mode to Always On. Put on two headsets. Tap the talk button on one of the headsets. Walk around the location, talking as you walk. 1.
Installation Figure 6 2. Attach the base station to the wall using screws and possibly wall anchors. Note: Steps 3 and 7 assume that all of the communication cabling has been prepared and is available at the base station. If not, see “Base Station to Component Wiring,” page 18. 3. 4. 5. Follow local best practices and any applicable regulations to route the cables into the base station cabinet’s top, sides, or back (through the wall) as neatly as possible.
Installation Connect the Components This section provides diagrams and information that should help you to properly wire the system components together.

Installation Simple Circuit Example Figure 12 shows a simple DC circuit (a light and DC power supply) being operated by auxiliary relay 3. To make the light turn on when a vehicle is detected, terminals RELAY3_COM and RELAY3_NO (normally open) would be used. To make the light turn off when a vehicle is detected, terminals RELAY3_COM and RELAY3_NC (normally closed) would be used.
Installation Vehicle approach detector (board or loop) connected at VEH DET.2 terminals Connect VEH_APP to RELAY2_NO and connect GND to RELAY2_COM Note: The diagram assumes you are using Vehicle Detector 2 (VEHDET.2) for your vehicle approach detector. You can also use Vehicle Detector 3 (VEHDEH.3). To do so, use the corresponding RELAY3_COM and RELAY3_NO terminals.
Installation Vehicle Detectors There are three available installation slots at the top of the base station for vehicle detector boards. Once installed, each detector board must be configured for sensitivity, delay, and pulse/presence detection. • • • Sensitivity—there are four available sensitivity settings: low, medium low, medium high, and high. Setting a high sensitivity increases vehicle detection but also increases the likelihood of false detection (e.g.
Installation 7. 1. 2. 3. Configure the dip switches according to the table on the circuit board and your needs (see Figure 15). Adjust the sensitivity of vehicle detection by manipulating the top two dip switches. Enable or disable a two second detection delay by manipulating the third switch. Choose presence or pulse detection by manipulating the fourth switch.
