INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
POSITIONING AND MOUNTING THE INTERCOM UNIT
The position of the Intercom Unit should maximise the safest and best operational performance and convenience,
including:
1. Users considerations, with optimal height recommendations (to centreline of the Intercom Unit):
a. Wheelchair: 750 – 1000mm.
b. Car: 200 – 1300mm.
c. Pedestrian: 1540 – 1550mm.
d. Lorry: 1700 – 1900mm.
2. Environmentally and neighbourhood friendly criteria avoiding:
a. Wind and rain.
b. Background noise.
c. Noise and light pollution from the Intercom Unit.
3. Minimising risk of vandalism.
4. Network and Signal strength measured with a 4G Analyser (please see detailed inst uctions p ovided
with the Analyse ).
5. Close proximity to a suitable switchable 13A AC power socket.
SURFACE MOUNTING
Using the Mounting Drilling Template, the Intercom Unit must be securely mounted and can be tted to any secure
location such as a post or on a smooth masonry constructed surface.
Feed the required cables carefully through the cable entry point in the rear of the Backbox and seal effectively against
dust, insects and water ingress – see CABLE ENTRY AND EXIT section.
After mounting and before screwing in the Faceplate, the Backbox must be completely brushed out and be free of any
drilling dust or metal lings. Please be aware that the speaker magnet may attract metal dust or lings which may impair
its performance.
The Backbox Mounting Holes must be sealed against potential dust, insects and water ingress, using electronic grade
silicone sealant, examples of this type of silicone are:
1. American Sealants Inc 388
2. ACC Silicones AS1745G
3. Dow Corning 3145
There are many other equivalent makes.
DO NO USE silicones with acetic acid (vinegar smell/bath sealant) as the fumes given off in a conned space can
corrode delicate electronic parts.

INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR OPTIMUS 4G LTE RANGE OF INTERCOM UNITS

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
SITING OF THE ANTENNA
The supplied 4G antenna is an external item that should be installed in the most suitable position so that
1. As high as possible and obtaining the maximum signal strength, checked by a 4G Analyser
(please see detailed inst uctions p ovided with the Analyse ).
2. Further than 200mm from a human body.
3. Minimising risks of vandalism.
CABLE ENTRY AND EXIT
Ensure that Antenna, Power and other Cable Leads are looped before entering the back of the Unit to minimise water
ingress along the cables.
The cable entry hole in the back of the back box is a threaded M20x1.5mm and is suitable for metal/plastic electrical
conduit ttings.
The unit is supplied with a 20mm gland to allow wires to pass in and out of the back box where cables may have to travel
a short distance to the control unit – we suggest once wiring is complete this gland is lled with electronic grade silicone
sealant. Examples of this type of silicone a e:
1. American Sealants Inc 388
2. ACC Silicones AS1745G
3. Dow Corning 3145
There are many other equivalent makes.
DO NO USE silicone’s with acetic acid (vinegar smell/bath sealant) as the fumes given off in the conned space
of the Backbox can corrode delicate electronic parts.
If using metal/plastic conduit screwed into the box of the Intercom unit the supplied gland may be discarded.
POWER CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION OF THE OPTIMUS RANGE
The Intercom unit is dened as Pluggable Equipment Type B tted with a 3A fuse.
Power to the unit must be provided through connection to a locally accessible switched 13A Mains U standard socket
outlet.
The supplied Power Supply Unit is tted with 1.5mtr lead and terminated with a U standard 13A plug tted with a
3A fuse.
Should it be necessary to disconnect power to the Intercom Unit, then this is done by switching off power at the mains
switched socket that supplies the Unit.
08
INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR OPTIMUS 4G LTE RANGE OF INTERCOM UNITS

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
PROTECTIVE EARTH AND BONDING TERMINALS
The Intercom Unit must be permanently earthed.
The Unit is tted with an earth stud marked up with an earth label, the stud size is M3 and has a M3 Nyloc nut attached.
The earth wire must be at least 1mm² - 18AWG - 30/0.2mm Green/Yellow in accordance with normal electrical wiring
standards.
This earth wire will be terminated with a crimped M3 ring terminal and tted to the Earth Stud in the Backbox, the other
end will be attached with similar method to the Mounting steel post, or via an Earth Ground Spike where the Intercom
Unit is mounted on a masonry surface.

INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE SIM CARD
Ensure that the Unit is switched off at the plug before inserting or removing the micro SIM card.
When the micro SIM card is inserted CORRECTLY:
1. The Green “O ” LED is dual purpose
a. It will illuminate indicating that power is being received by the PCB
b. It will indicate the signal strength (RSSI) through a number of slow ashes:
i. 1 Flash = 1 Bar.
ii. Max 4 Flashes = 4 Bars.
2. The Blue “Network Status” LED will indicate connection status:
a. Off = Disconnected.
b. On solid = Connecting to the Network,
followed by:
c. Slow Flashing = Connected.
Should the micro SIM be inserted INCORRECTLY or not detected?
1. The Green “O ” LED will slow ash for approximately 20 seconds, then fast ash.
2. The Blue “Network Status” LED will be permanently On.

INTERNAL CELL REPLACEMENT FOR REAL TIME CLOCK
(RTC)
The Intercom Unit is tted with 3V Lithium cell CR1220, which provides backup to preserve Time and Date within the RTC
during power down.
The 3 Volt Lithium cell CR1220 is mounted on the 4G PRO in a holder, this allows the cell to be changed, if/when needed.
For reference, the RTC has an accuracy of +/- 1.5mins per year.
The life of the cell is approximately 1 year if the 4G PRO Board is left un-powered.
A continuously powered up 4G PRO would allow the cell to achieve a shelf life of 10 years min.
REPLACING THE LITHIUM CELL
CAU ION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF HE CELL IS REPLACED BY AN INCORREC YPE. HE CORREC YPE IS LI HIUM
CELL CR1220.
To Replace the Cell:
1. Replacing the cell is necessary when it is close to exhaustion, which can be identied when the Cell voltage
reaches 2.7V, measured with a digital meter across the legs of the holder.
To Change the Cell:
2. eeping the board powered will not lose any date/time settings.
3. If the cell is exhausted and Date / Time are wrong, there is no need to power up the board prior to
replacing the cell.
4. Check and / or reset the date / time through SMS Short Command Programming Guide.
Method:
1. Press the side of the cell through the slot in the holder with a slight upward bias using a small at bladed
screwdriver or the edge of an old sim card, the cell will pop out. Do not lever the cell out.
2. Slide the new cell into the holder.
3. On the old cell there is a yellow sticker, remove this and t over the new cell and holder.
4. Do not put the yellow sticker on the new cell rst as it may not make proper contact with the holder.
5. The yellow sticker is there to protect the top of the cell which is the positive terminal and minimises the
risk of any metallic objects touching it.
Please dispose of or recycle the exhausted cell in a responsible way and according to the Cell manufacturer’s
instructions.
If storing un-powered 4G PRO boards for an extended time, Optimus recommends that the cell is removed until the
board is needed.
