Installing and Using the
Series 1500™ Intercom Systems
Series 1500 ™ Intercoms enable clear two-way communications in
retail service businesses. Two-way video is integrated with high-
performance audio to provide a complete intercommunication solution
over a single Category 5e or 6 UTP cable. The versatile Model 1500
Counter Station, which can access up to 16 lanes, and the Model 1520
Lane Station can be connected directly to each other in a one-on-one
system, or multiples of each can be networked using a Model 1509
Hub for up to two-on-four audio performance or Series 1510 Hub for
multi-lane systems (See example diagrams on the following pages).
Series 1510 Hubs can support up to 8 Counter Stations on 16 lanes.
