equipment and commission the system. For full installation instructions, safety information and fault finding
procedures please refer to the Installation Manual.

Connect Site Wiring for Outstations
The Outstations are “Star Wired” to the console, with
each Outstation having its own pair of conductors as
shown in this illustration
Connect each Outstation cable to the relevant Line Card.
The DTAKIT is Polarity Dependant.
It is recommended to maintain consistent colour codes to ease
installation & fault finding.
The Line Card and Outstations have “Cage Clamp”
terminals to enable quick and secure connections.
Fire Rated screened cable should be used. If Fire Rated screened
cable is not used then screened cable is recommended to ensure the
best audio quality.
