4. each pair should consist of two conductors minimum 2x 0 15 mm2 with separate shield Use flexible cable Use flexible single and multi pair microphone cable instead of cable with solid cores especially when the cable is subjected to bending during operation or installation Cable screens to XLR pin 1 The screen of each separate microphone cable and or the screen of each single pair in a multi pair cable should be connected to pin 1 of each XLR 3 connector Do not connect these screens to the metal housing of ASL units or XLR 3 wall boxes See Earthing Concept Connect cable trunks connection boxes and overall multi pair cable screens to clean earth Metal cable trunks metal connection boxes and overall multi pair cable screens should be interconnected and at one point the central earth point in the intercom network only be connected to a clean earth or a safety earth see Earthing Concept Keep metal connection boxes and _ trunks isolated from other metal parts Metal trunks or pipes for intercom cables and metal connection boxes should be mounted in such a way that they are isolated from any other metal housing or construction parts Keep cables parallel as much as possible When two multi channel units in a network are connected by more than one cable make sure that these cables are parallel to each other over the whole distance between those units When using multi pair cable parallelism is ensured in the
5. eakers the line impedance is situated in the power supply between XLR pin 3 and pin 1 This principle has the following advantages The use of a single audio line allows several intercom stations to talk and listen simultaneously e Due to the high bridging impedance offered by each intercom station The number of stations on the party line has no influence on the level of the communications audio signal e Power and audio to the intercom stations use the same cable Also the Call signal is sent as a current on the audio wire It develops DC potential over the line impedance which is sensed by each intercom station and interpreted as a Call signal 10 0 CABLING The intercom lines the party lines are of the shielded two conductor microphone cable type The intercom line connectors are of the XLR 3 type Audio and Call signals are on pin 3 DC power is on pin 2 Pin 1 is connected to the shield of the cable which functions as the common return for audio and power The audio signal is transferred in an unbalanced way see Party Line Technical Concept To avoid earth loops hum the possible effect of electromagnetic fields and to minimize power loss certain rules have to be obeyed when installing the cabling of an intercom system Use high quality cable Use high quality microphone cable only shielded two conductor cable minimum 2x 0 30 mm2 In case multi pair cable is used there should be an overall shield and
