GPC-3 Hardware
General Information
The GPC-3 system (W# 008710) is comprised of a desk turret (W# 008700)
having some combination of the available panels installed. The turret can hold
three single-wide panels, or one double-wide panel and one single-wide panel.
Several single-wide panels are offered: the GP-3 (W# 008705) headphone panel, the
GP-4S (W# 008706) 4 switch mic control panel, the GP-4W (W# 008707) 4 switch
control panel, the GP-8P (W#008708) 8 switch programmable switch panel, and
the GP-BK (W#008720) blank panel.
The double-wide GP-16P (W# 008709)
16 switch programmable switch panel is
also available. The panels are described
in details on the following pages.
On the bottom part of the turret are
4 predrilled holes (3/16"D) that are used
for mounting the turret to the countertop.
Drill holes in the countertop by using
the supplied full size turret template
(W# 008712; see page 27). Then place
the turret on the counter and secure it
with the supplied #8 screws.
