Optional Accessory Installation — Priority Page Sensor Kit

The Priority Page Sensor Kit momentarily silences classroom audio whenever a page is made from a public address

(PA) system.
For detailed information, refer to the Priority Page Sensor Kit Installation Instructions, supplied with the device.

N

The Priority Page Sensor works with traditional 25 V or 70 V and 4/8 ohm PA systems. It is not designed

for, and may not work properly with, two-way intercoms or systems that are IP-based or use digital clocks.

Priority Page Sensor Kit included parts:

Priority Page Sensor

UL-compliant junction box with a cable clamp and a lid

35 ft. (10.7 m) of sensor cable

Installation Procedure

W

All structural steps, anchoring, and

electrical installation should be performed

by qualified personnel in accordance with

local and national building codes, fire and

safety codes, and/or local and national

electrical codes.

To meet the plenum rating requirement, the Priority Page
Sensor assembly must be installed in a UL-compliant
junction box with a cover and all cables to and from the
sensor must be plenum rated.

1

. Choose a suitable location for the sensor. It must be located

near, and in series with, the speakers.

2

. If the sensor is to be located in a plenum space, the junction

box (provided) can be used. Knock out an opening at one
end of the junction box and attach the cable clamp (see
figure at right). Secure the box where the sensor will go.

3

. Disconnect the PA system speaker cable from the speaker.

Remove the outer protective jacket from the speaker cable to

expose the two speaker wires from the sensor to the speaker

(as shown at right). Do not remove the inner protective

jackets that cover the individual wires.

If the sensor is to be located in a plenum space, feed a loop
of one of the exposed speaker wires through the cable
clamp into the junction box. The other wire must bypass
the sensor to be connected later directly to the speaker.

4.

Open the top of the Priority Page Sensor and loop the speaker

wire that is inside the junction box tightly around the top part

of the sensor.

N

Loop only one of the speaker wires around the

sensor cover. Do not loop both wires. Polarity

need not be observed.

The other speaker wire must bypass the sensor and connect

directly to the speaker.

• For a 25 V or 70 V system, wrap 5 to 8 loops.

• For a 4/8 ohm system, wrap 2 to 4 loops.
