Conductor ends can be stripped and terminated with or without a wire ferrule. Table 2. Recommended Cable Sizes Cable Use Size System Power Beacon Footswitch Speaker cable 2-conductor twisted pair, 0. 75 mm2 is typical 3-conductor, 4. 0 mm2 is typical 2-conductor, 1. 0 mm2 is typical 2-conductor, 0. 75 mm2 is typical 2-conductor twisted pair, 1. 0 mm2 is typical 1. Digital stations require termination of a 2-conductor twisted pair cable on system terminals A and B only. Analog stations require termination of a 4-conductor twisted pair cable (A/B twist & C/D twist) on system terminals A­D.

If the conditions are not acceptable, the user can switch to simplex mode by depressing the T button. In some situations (example: high ambient noise levels or stations in close proximity), the station must be operated in simplex mode at all times. Intercom Communication Modes Master Communication - Communication between two stations can be automatically enabled during the system start-up, or enabled/disabled by the master station. To enable communication depress 6T and the number of the radio channel. Refer to the "Listening to the Radio Channel" of the Central Switch manual for more details. NOTE: The associated slave station must be configured to transmit to the radio channel. The LED on the front panel illuminates to indicate a call is in progress. NOTE: For digital stations only, the beacon output can be activated for a variety of conditions. Refer to the "Attendant Contacts" section of the Central Switch manual for details. Depress and hold the T button or the footswitch and speak into the microphone to transmit audio. Audio from the slave station is broadcast over this station's speaker when the T button or footswitch is released.
