Speech Module Installation Sheet
Model NUSPM-HE
Description
The NUSPM-HE Speech module handles voice
communications with other speech-capable modules. The
module can also be used as a dual tone buzzer in
HTM-compliant installations.
Module Connectors
The module includes two RJ-45 jacks for room bus
connections and DIP switches for room bus addressing.
Figure 1 shows the jacks and DIP switches on the back of
the module.

(1) 2x RJ-45 connections to room bus
(2) 3x DIP switches for bus addressing
(3) 1x DIP switch for microphone sensitivity
Setting the Room Bus Address
The room bus address is a unique number assigned to a room
module when modules of the same type are attached to the
room bus.
If you do not use DIP switches to set the room bus address,
be sure all the DIP switches are in the OFF position on the
back of the module.
To set the DIP switches:
1. Set the DIP switches for the correct room bus address
(0...7), as shown in Figure 1, item 2.
2. Using a small screwdriver, gently slide the switch up for
“ON” or slide it down for “OFF.”
3. Set the DIP switch for the microphone sensitivity
(0dB or -6dB) using switch 1, as shown in Figure 1, item 3.
Installation
Note: Before beginning the installation, ensure all the
necessary cables are available and are properly terminated.
RJ-45 connectors should be terminated in accordance with
the T568B or EIA 568B connection standard.
The module can mount to a backbox, or to a wall using a
surface-mounting spacer (NUSP1-HE).
To mount the module on a backbox or spacer:
1. When using a backbox, use the mounting screws that
came with the module.
-or-
When using a spacer, ensure it is properly mounted to the
wall and that the adapter screws are available. See
"Mounting a Spacer".
2. Place the adapter (with the arrow facing up) over the
backbox and ensure that it is level.

-or-
When using a spacer, place the adapter over the spacer
ensuring that it fits inside the spacer’s housing.
3. Tighten the screws.
Mounting a Spacer
When no backbox is available, use spacers to surface mount
modules. Spacers mount directly to flat wall surfaces using
screws suitable for the wall type. Cable wires should enter
and leave the spacer housing through the knockouts in the
sides of the spacer, or through the hole in the back.
Important: Do not distort or twist the spacer when mounting
it to a wall. If the spacer is distorted, the module will not fit
properly and may fall off. To prevent distortion, only mount
the spacer on a smooth and level surface. Do not over-tighten
the fixing screws.
To mount a spacer to a wall:
1. Place the spacer against a flat wall and orient it so that
“TOP” (printed on the inside of the spacer) is pointing up
and that the spacer is level. Use a leveling device to check,
if necessary.
2. Using the spacer as a template, mark two holes for the
screws using the outer fitting holes located in the corners
of the spacer.
3. Remove the spacer and drill screw holes for the screws
that will be used, such as wood, concrete, or drywall
screws, or screws with anchors.
4. Remove the knockouts in the spacer for the cable wires.
5. Place the spacer over the holes, insert the screws, and
then tighten.
6. Pull the cables through the knockout holes.
To make the connections to the module:
1. Check the DIP switch setting to ensure they are set
correctly. See Figure 1, items 2 and 3.
2. Pull the cables from the backbox or spacer, and then
slide them through the module’s frame.
Note: When attaching RJ-45 connectors to the module,
use caution not to strain the connectors. If the cables are
too stiff to fit in the backbox, remove up to 15cm (6in.)
of the cable jacket.
3. Insert the RJ-45 room bus connector into the first jack,
and then insert the next connector (to the next module)
into the next jack, as shown in the following figure. See
also Figure 1, item 1.

To attach the module on the adapter:
1. Place the module against the frame, ensuring that the
module is facing up.
2. Place the module’s upper snap fasteners against the upper
edge of the adapter.
3. Press the module firmly against the adapter so that the
module’s bottom fasteners snap closed on the adapter.
Removal
When separating the module from an adapter or spacer, use
a screwdriver with a blade that is approximately 6mm wide.
To remove the module from a backbox or spacer:
1. Insert the screwdriver blade into the slot at the bottom of
the module between the faceplate and the adapter.
Caution: Do not insert the screwdriver into the bottom
corner of the frame, as this may damage the frame or
module.
2. Gently push the screwdriver blade until the module
releases from the adapter.
3. Remove the module from the adapter.
4. Disconnect RJ-45 connectors.
