WIRING CONNECTIONS
1). Connect one end of cable to remote speaker/microphone as shown in Fig. 3. Use 4 conductor shielded audio
cable such as West Penn 356. Connect wires wrapped with overall shield to terminals “A”, “B”, and “C” of
microphone’s terminal block. When using West Penn 356, connect red wire to terminal “A”; black wire to terminal
“B” and bare wire to terminal”C”.
2). Connect the two speaker wires (white and green) to speaker’s 70 volt transformer terminals. Connect cable’s
white wire to white wire connected to the 70 volt transformer using a wire nut. Connect cable’s green wire to
green wire of transformer with a wire nut.
3). Connect the other end of the cable to AP-16TB Mic 5-Pin Terminal Block[14] for the zone which the remote
microphone is assigned. Make sure that wire connected to terminal “A” of remote microphone connects to
terminal “A” of unit’s Mic 5-Pin Terminal Block[14]; wire connected to terminal “B’ of microphone connects to
terminal “B” of unit’; “C” to “C”. If using wire from other manufacturers, color code may vary.
4). Connect white speaker wire to Mic 5-Pin Terminal Block[14] terminal “G”. Connect green wire to terminal marked
“SP”.
5). Repeat steps 1 thru 3 for zones 2, 3, 4 .....16.
6). When a recorder is used (DVR, VCR etc.), connect Audio-OUT Jack[15] to recorder’s Audio-IN Jack with an RCA
cable (not supplied).
7). Connect Audio-IN Jack[17] to recorder’s Audio-Out Jack.
8). Plug AC Adapter (supplied) to DC-IN Jack[20].
NOTE: If AP-16TB-RM is to be used as a one-way listen only system (no talkback), any Louroe Verifact Microphone can
be used. Make microphone connections as described above (see step 1). Disregard speaker connections. Use 2
conductor shielded cable, 22 gauge with a 24 gauge drain. West Penn 452 or equivalent. Same color code as in
West Penn 356 (red, black and bare).

OPERATION AND TEST
1). To apply power, first connect small end of 24 Vdc power supply to the 24 Vdc power jack located on rear
panel [20], then plug power block into a standard 120 Vac wall outlet or power strip.
2). Turn on power to the unit by rotating the Power-Volume Control Knob[9] clockwise to “ON” position.
Filter-OUT Indicator[2] should light green, indicating power is present at the unit. Rotate
Power-Volume Knob[9] further clockwise to increase the level of loudness of monitored audio.
3). Press Zone Selector Switches[1] marked zone 1. Audio from zone 1 should be present at the Monitor
Speaker[13]. If there is no audio, temporarily remove wires connected to Mic 5-Pin Terminal Block[14] for
zone 1 located at the rear of the unit. With a voltmeter, check that 12 Vdc is present at terminals “A” and
“C”. Place positive lead of voltmeter to terminal “A” and negative to “C”. If voltage is not present, unit has
defective voltage regulator. If voltage is present, check to see if the wires are connected properly to the
right terminals. Otherwise microphone is defective. Call factory for assistance.
4). Press Talkback Switch[8] and speak into the Talkback Microphone[10]. Rotate Talkback Volume
Control[12] clockwise to increase the level of talkback audio. Another person is needed at the remote
location to listen to the volume and clarity of talkback audio.
5). Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other zones.
6). When a 24 hour VCR is connected to the unit, press VCR Switch[7]. VCR-IN Indicator[4] will light yellow.
Start recording live audio. It is not necessary to use VCR switch if recording into a DVR. The VCR
Switch[7] must be in the “OUT” position when a recorder is not connected to the unit. Otherwise live
audio will be muted.
7). Recorded audio can be played back through the AP-16TB-RM’s built-in amplifier and speaker. If audio
playback is from a 24 hour time lapse recorder, press Filter Switch[6] to 12/24 hour mode. Filter In
indicator[3] will illuminate red. If playback is from a DVR, filter switch is not used and should be in the
“OUT” position. If no recording device is used, then filter switch must be in the “OUT” position. Otherwise
live audio will be muted. The green LED will illuminate when filter switch is in the “OUT” position.
