III. Physical Installation
1. Install one 3/4” nut and one washer on each anchor bolt 2.5”-3.5" above grade to top of washer. This
will allow for a 1/2" air gap between the foundation and the tower which will allow airflow and prevent
moisture problems. Verify that the nuts are level (0° pitch).
NOTE: To insure proper grounding of all electrical components, the tower mount should be effectively earth grounded
from the grounding stud (located across from the lower access panel) with 6 AWG or better insulated, stranded copper
wire to the metallic power service raceway (conduit) or an 8' or longer corrosion-resistant ground spike.
2. After removing the lower access panel of the tower, install the tower onto the bolts with the
Emergency Phone opening oriented in the desired direction. Install second set of nuts and washers.
Tighten the upper nuts; the bottom set is only for leveling.

3. Take off the tower cap plate as shown in Figure 1. Install the LED Blue Light to the base of the LED
blue light housing. Reattach the tower cap plate.
4. Remove the rear access panel (top) of the tower and mount the paging amplifier vertically aligned
(power connection / speaker output side facing up and audio input side facing down) with the help of
four (4) #10-32 nuts provided. Also mount the WEBS-VCU on to the upper mounting panel of the
tower as shown in Figure 2, use four (4) #10-32 nuts. Connect the paging amplifier audio input
channels to the respective audio outputs on the WEBS-VCU via RCA audio cables provided. (e.g.
Amplifier audio input channel 1 to WEBS-VCU audio output 1).

5. If using the WEBS-BACKUP option, place the mounting shelf on the two L-brackets located in the
lower section of the tower. Rest the batteries in the upright position on the shelf. Mount the WEBS-
UPS-84-20 on to the mounting panel and secure the assembly in place onto the mounting screws
provided.
Connect the DC output end (black and white color cables with gray jacket and fuse one end) to the
DIN Rail Terminal Block, terminal no. 23 and 25 as shown in Table 1.
Connect the battery input cables (red and black cable with ring terminals on each end) to the
terminals of one battery (Red cable to the positive terminal of the battery and black cable to the
negative terminal of the battery). Repeat the same procedure for the second battery.
Connect the 120 VAC input cable (cable with three prong connector on end) to a 120VAC power
source.
OR
5. Install the lower mounting panel, using the wingnut provided with the tower. Connect the power
supply by connecting the Brown lead to Line, Blue lead to neutral and the Green/Yellow lead to
ground. Connect the DC output to the DIN Rail Terminal Block, terminals no. 23(yellow) and
25(black) as shown in Table 1.

6. Install the LED light board over the phone opening. Slide the LED board over the studs with the LEDs
facing down. Tighten down using the enclosed #6-32 nuts. Be careful not to over tighten to avoid
cracking the circuit board.
7. Install the DIN rail on the two welds studs behind the phone opening. Install the local paging
microphone and mounting bracket inside the microphone compartment as shown in Figure 3. Attach
the instructional label below (provided) on to the inner surface of the microphone compartment door.
NOTE: The microphone gets activated two seconds after depressing the microphone switch.
Figure 3. Installing the Local Paging Microphone, DIN Rail Terminal Block and Emergency Phone.
8. Attach the Emergency Phone to the tower with six (6) 10-24 oval head tamperproof screws (included
with the phone). When using an ETP-400 Series Emergency Phone connect the phone line coming
into the tower to the male RJ11 connector coming from the Emergency Phone. An outdoor rated
RJ11 female modular jack on the end of the incoming phone line is strongly recommended.
9. Re-attach the rear access panels to the tower.
NOTE: It is the installer’s obligation to ensure compliance with all national, regional, and local
regulations. ALL WIRING MUST USE DRIP-LOOPS.
