SYSTEM FEATURES

1. Versatile communication system. Either All-master, Single-master or Intermixed System can be created.
2. Intermixable masters and subs, either semi-flush mount (LAF-B) or desk/wall mount type (LAF).
3.  All Call announcement and Background music distribution, using BG-1A/1B and an amplifier. All call announcement may be initiated in occupied mode when the system consists of LAF-7B and LAF-1B/3B/10B (Type A) stations (with no existing LAF-10B or LAF console stations intermixed).
4. Handsfree reply and high output power.
5. Sub call-in annunciator LED stays lit for approx. 20 seconds.
6. During your communication, sub call-in can be signalled by soft tone.
7. Options; * Door station (any number).
   * Paging thru an 8-ohm horn with talkback. Door release, using RY-PA relay.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT – Prohibitions and precautions –

*Operation;

1. On all LAF master stations, except station initiating a call, OFF button MUST BE DEPRESSED and LOCKED DOWN, or system will not work. The illumi- nated LED above OFF button indicates you forget to depress OFF button, if not in use.
2. The illuminated OCCUPIED LED indicates the other station is using the sys- tem. While this OCCUPIED LED is lit,
   1. Do not depress any selector button. The squeak sound will come out at initiating and receiving stations. So, when you receive calls from another master and a sub at the same time, REPLY FIRST TO THE MASTER and, after the OCCUPIED LED goes out, depress a selector button of the calling sub and communicate.
      
   2. Do not make All Call nor any other operation, when LAF-B units are intermixed with existing models (LAF-3A/5/10/10S/10B/10BS).
      
      Installation: 4
3. When a sub station calls during Background music distribution, the call tone will come out through all LAF station speakers, and call-in annunciator LED stays lit for approximately 20 seconds on the called master station.

* Installation;

1. DO NOT CONNECT ANY TERMINAL ON ANY UNIT TO AC POWER LINES.
2. Be sure not to plug power supply into AC receptacle until you complete wiring connections, and unplug before opening the unit.
3. Lay out your system in advance. Determine the exact location of each station. Assign station number and make a sketch showing the number of wires and color codes from one station to another. Begin your installation with master station No. 1. Upon installing second master station, we recommend a test be made for all functions, calling and talking between each station. After completing all the masters connection and testing, begin sub station installation.
4. Insulate by tape, etc. each unused connector wire end. If touches the other wires or back box it will cause damage to the units.
   
   Installation location; 8
5. Select the installation locations that would not be exposed to temperature/ humidity extremes, water, oil, dust, iron dust, inflammable and chemical products, etc.
6. To avoid feedback, DO NOT PLACE MASTER STATION AND ANOTHER MASTER OR SUB STATION BACK TO BACK, OR ON A COMMON WALL BETWEEN ROOMS.

7. When making an intermixed system, note in advance that master stations: LAF-3A, LAF-5, LAF-10 console types have no button for All Call nor door release. LAF-1B and LAF-3B have only door release button. If such functions required at console type station, please use LAF-10S.
8. If any LAF-B station: LAF1B/3B/7B/10B (Type A) is intermixed with existing models: LAF-3A/5/10/10S/10B, install a supplied 2-pin connector on back of all the LAF-B units. Adaptor installation location;
9. Locate PS-12A (or PS-12C) power supply near center of the system.
10. Locate BG-1A/1B adaptor near by the power supply.

*Maintenance;

1. Clean your equipment with a soft cloth dampened with neutral household cleanser. Never use thinne nor benzine, etc.

*Volume adjustment;
LAF-B unit has pre-setting volume, allowing to lower the maximum level of communication. On back of LAF-B unit, using a philip screwdriver, turn the volume counter-clockwise to achieve the desired level. On front panel, LAF-B unit has two volume controls for communication and call tone, each adjustable to three levels as desired.

INSTALLATION

1. Semi-flush mounting to wall (in new construction); For new construction, use a mounting back box (Model: BBX-1).
   1. Install the back box in the wall.
   2. Attach the supplied mounting bracket with four screws (supplied).
   3. Mount LAF-7B unit to the bracket with two screws (supplied).
      
2. Semi-flush mounting to an existing wall;
   1. To install LAF-7B unit to an existing wall, cut and open a hole of H: 165 mm (6-1/2″) x W: 206 mm (8-1/8″), securing depth of more than 47 mm (1-7/8″).

NOTES; 

1 When intermixing LAF-7B units with LAF-3A/5/10/10S units, install a supplied connector on back of each LAF-7B. And [Y] terminals on LAF-7B units may remain uncon- nected.

2 LAF-3B and LAF-3A stations can call each LAF-7B station, but can not communicate with each other.

③ All Call announcement is available from LAF-7B stations. LAF-3B and LAF-3A stations have no All Call button and can only receive All Call and BGM.

④ When using a MONO MUSIC SOURCE, eg. FM tuner, 8-track player or cassette player, etc., connect the PHONO plug to either PHONO jack on BG-1A/ BG-1B.*Music source output requirements; Tuner: Use AUDIO output (Range: 300 mV 1.2V, 10 K ohm~100 K ohm). Tape player: Use Low LEVEL output. (Range 300 mV ~ 1.2V, more than 600 ohm).
