This device is to be installed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar with the National Electrical Code and will follow NEC Guidelines as well as local codes. Marine installa- tions shall be in accordance with Title 46, CFR, Parts 110-113. The selection of the mounting location for the device is to be accomplished under the direction of the facilities engineer and the safety engineer. In addition, listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow: • This is not a listed safety device and is not intended to be used as such. • Read and understand all instructions before installing or operating this equipment. • Disconnect power before connecting or doing any maintenance on this intercom. • All effective warning speakers produce loud sounds which may cause in certain situations, permanent hearing loss. You should take appropriate precautions such as wearing hearing protection. • After testing is complete, provide a copy of this instruction sheet to all operating personnel. • Establish a procedure to routinely check the intercom installation for integrity and proper operation. Any maintenance must be performed by a trained electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines and local codes. Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death to you or others. A.GENERAL FEATURES. The Atkinson Dynamics wireless intercom is a heavy-duty, 2-way, communications device designed for industrial applications. The nominal operating voltage is 120VAC, 50/60 Hz. A “whip” style 1/4-wave antenna is built into the bottom of each unit. The intercoms operate in the 902-928 MHz band and offer the user eight selectable channels. A 4-position switch, located on the printed circuit board inside the unit, allows the user to select the channel of operation. All units in a system must be set to the same channel of frequency to communicate with each other. Refer to section E for details on setting the channel of operation. The range of the intercom is 500 feet under optimum conditions. The range is dependent on the environment and decreases when obstacles are in the way. Line-of-sight between intercoms will provide the best range. Each unit is equipped with a squelch control knob located on the front cover. The AC power line is fused with a 1/2-amp, 250-volt type GMC fuse. A description of the available models follows. -2- Basic Model Specifications Model AD-27W Supply Voltage120VAC, 50/60 Hz Audio Power Output (Max.)11.3 Watts Power Consumption (Max.)28.8 Watts Operating Current (nominal)0.240 A Operating Temperature+32°F to 150°F Shipping Weight10 lbs. 6.5 oz DimensionsSee Figure 2. RatingsUL, cUL, Marine-Listed, FCC (Part 15) NEMA-Type 4X Table 1. Additional Model Information Letter Group Function/Feature “A”Call button Table 2. CALL BUTTON: “A” Models are equipped with a Call switch. Depressing the call switch transmits an 890Hz tone to all units in the intercom system. CAUTION The call signal is louder than normal voice messages being carried on the line. Do not depress the call switch while carrying on a conversation with someone on the system. This will subject the listener to very loud sound levels. The volume of the call signal is affected by the volume control on the receiving unit, so if volume is turned all the way down at a receiving station, the call signal will not be heard. B.UNPACKING. After unpacking the Atkinson Dynamics Intercom, examine it for damage that may have occurred in transit. If the equipment has been damaged, do not attempt to install or operate it, and file a claim immediately with the carrier stating the extent of the damage. Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels and tags before removing or destroying them. -3- C.MOUNTING. CAUTION The selection of the mounting location for the device is to be accomplished under the direction of the facilities and the safety engineer. NOTE Intercoms supplied with flexible cords for connection to field wiring are not intended for permanent mounting. The intercom is intended to be mounted on any relatively flat and rigid surface by the two mounting ears on the exterior of the housing. Figure 2 is a dimensional outline drawing showing the proper mounting configuration. The two mounting ears are 13/32" diameter holes spaced 5.68" apart. Hardware for mounting the intercom to the surface shall be provided by the installer. NOTE The unit should be mounted right side up with the antenna pointed down- ward. Failure to do so may void FCC compliance. WARNING This unit is heavy and should be mounted on a rigid surface capable of supporting the weight of the intercom. WARNING For shipboard applications, installations shall be in accordance with the United States Coast Guard, Title 46 CRF, Parts 110-113. D.ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. Plug each intercom into a nearby power source. Each unit is equipped with a power cord with a NEMA 5-15P molded plug. See figure 1 for a typical intercom configuration. E.CHANNEL SELECTION. Each unit is factory set to channel 3 (909.37 MHz). To select another channel, it is necessary to reconfigure the 4-position switch located on the printed circuit board inside the unit. To select another channel, perform the following steps; 1. Disconnect power from the unit. 2. Remove and retain the six screws and lock washers from the front cover. 3. Carefully lift the front cover from the housing. 4. Locate the 4-position switch on the circuit board. Use a nylon probe tool to change position of switch. Refer to …

HOW THE EUT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF 15.31 (e) FOR THE FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION WIRELESS INTERCOM MODEL: AD-27AW The fundamental was maximized on the Lab D test site using a normal test setup with the EUT’s AC Adapter connected directly to the AC public mains (115 Vac). Next, the EUT’s AC Adapter was then connected to the Staco Energy Products Variable Auto Transformer Model: 3PN1010. The Variable Auto Transformer allows the Vac input to be varied. The EUT’s AC Adapter was then connected to the Staco Energy Products Variable Auto Transformer Model: 3PN1010. The AC input was then dropped to 85% (97.75 Vac) and raised to 115% (132.25 Vac). The actual AC input was measured using a calibrated Fluke Multimeter Model: 87, Serial Number: 51350019, Calibration Due Date: July 11, 2004. The fundamental was then verified again to see that the amplitude did not change. Test Result: The EUT does NOT change amplitude at the fundamental when the AC input voltage is varied between 85% and 115% of the input nominal rated supply voltage.
