INSTALLATION NOTES:
The AX-SS can be powered directly from the AX-084C or AX-248C,
or it can be powered directly from one PS-2420UL. Both methods
are shown. Method B is recommended.
When using direct-powered method (B), utilize the PS-2420UL that
is connected to “V-PS + and -“ terminals (right side).
The output volume can be adjusted (H,M,L) via the 3-position switch
located near the bottom edge of the unit. (Default is M)
*When using the CEU-powered method (A), the door station port
must be programmed in the software set-up as a video door station.
This will also make the monitor in the AX-8MV turn on when
speaking with this station, and will display a blank or snowy screen.
In an audio-only system with the AX-8M master, this will not be a
concern.
