Section 1: ECC-50DA Remote Amplifier 1.1 Installation This section provides information on how to install the ECC-50DA for use with the ECC-50/100 Emergency Command Center. NOTE: The term ECC-50DA is used in this manual to refer to both the ECC-50DA (120 VAC version) and the ECC-50DAE (240 VAC version) amplifier unless specified.
Installation ECC-50DA Remote Amplifier 1.1.2 Mounting the Cabinet Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry, vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the panel. Locate the top of the cabi- net approximately five feet above the floor with the hinge mounting on the left.
ECC-50DA Remote Amplifier Installation 1.1.3 Wiring Specifications To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high-current output and power wiring. Avoid pulling one multiconductor cable for the entire panel. Power-limited, nonpower-limited, and audio circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet.
