Introduction

CTC Cross-The-Counter systems are complete systems for equipping reception desks

and counters with an induction loop. The system consists of a loop driver, a loop pad, a

microphone and a wall holder. Installed in a reception desk or counter, the system gives

hearing hearing aids users the possibility to communicate with the staﬀ behind the desk

with greatly enhanced speech perception.

The system is always activated and no special preparations have to be undertaken,

neither by the hearing impaired nor by the staﬀ. The only requirement for the hearing aids

user is to put their hearing aids in T-position and for the staﬀ to speak normally into the

microphone.

All Univox® drivers have a very high output current capability resulting in powerful and

secure products fulﬁlling existing standards, IEC 60118-4.

Thank you for having chosen a Univox® product.

Installation and commissioning

1. Choose a suitable place for the loop driver. Consider that the loop pad, the microphone

and the loop driver’s power supply will be connected to the driver. If needed, attach the

wall holder facing upwards on the selected spot.

2. Choose a suitable location for the microphone. It can be placed on a wall or on glass.

When choosing a place for the microphone, consider that the staﬀ shall be able to

stand or sit and talk in a normal, relaxed way with the listener. An example of how the

system can be laid out, see ﬁg. 1. Place the microphone cable under the desk in such a

way that it will reach to where the loop driver/wall holder is mounted. The microphone

cable is 1.8 meters.

3. Mount the loop pad under the reception desk. The loop pad should be attached in the

angle between the front and the upper part of the reception desk as shown in ﬁg.1 and

2. This will ensure a constant ﬁeld distribution with the right direction and also allow

hearing aid users to tilt their head forwards, for example when writing. When mounting

the pad (be careful not to damage the loop cables inside the pad), place the loop pad

cable in such a way that it will reach the loop driver/wall holder. The loop pad cable is

10 meters.

4. Connect the cables power supply, loop pad and microphone, see page 5. If the wall

holder is being used, run the cables from the loop driver’s power supply, loop pad and

microphone through the wall holder from underneath. Place the driver in such a way

that the connector side is facing down and you can read the text on the front of the

driver in the right direction. Connect all three cables, see page 5. Finally, lower the

driver into the wall holder and connect the power supply to mains.

5. When all connections are completed correctly the LED-indicator for mains power on the

right hand side of the front of the driver shall light up. The system is now ready to be

used.

6. The loop current is adjusted by turning the volume control at the front of the driver.

Verify the loop level/volume with a Univox® Listener. Bass and treble controls shall only

be adjusted in exceptional cases.

Microphone

Place the loop pad in the angle

between the front and the upper part

under the reception desk.

Placing the loop pad in the highest

position possible ensures a stronger

magnetic ﬁeld and thus gives better

speech perception for hearing aid users

The system is always activated and no special preparations have to be undertaken,

neither by the hearing impaired nor by the staﬀ. The only requirement for hard of hearing

people is to put their hearing aids in T-position and for the staﬀ to speak normally into the

microphone.

microphone cable is 1.5 meters.
