NYQUIST NQ-S1810WT-G3 Gen-3 VoIP Wall Baffle Speaker Installation Guide

NYQUIST NQ-S1810WT-G3 Gen-3 VoIP Wall Baffle Speaker

Product Information

The NQ-S1810WT-G3 Nyquist Gen-3 VoIP Wall Baffle Speaker is a powerful and versatile speaker designed for easy installation and use. It features an integrated 10W power amplifier, a MEMS microphone for superior talkback audio, and a Form C SPDT-type 2A dry contact relay for controlling or overriding third-party devices like audio-visual sources. The speaker can be connected via a Cat 5 or higher cable to a Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of external amplifiers, traditional intercom wiring, or transformer taps. It also supports DHCP deployment for easy installation and can be
configured through its web-based user interface (web UI).

Key Features:

• Integrated 10W power amplifier
• MEMS microphone for superior talkback audio
• Form C SPDT-type 2A dry contact relay for controlling third-party devices
• Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) compatibility
• Supports DHCP deployment
• Web-based user interface (web UI) for configuration and firmware updates

Speaker Layout

When planning the layout of the speakers, it is recommended to aim them all in the same direction for greater coverage and clarity. If necessary, speakers can be mounted on opposing walls, in which case they will project sound in opposing directions.

Hallway Speaker Layout:

For hallway installations, the speakers should be aimed in the direction of the hallway for optimal coverage.

Classroom Speaker Placement:

In most cases, a single wall baffle speaker is sufficient for a classroom. The final placement of the speaker can vary, but common area locations such as at the head of the room or near the room entrance are typically chosen.

Product Usage Instructions

Speaker Installation

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the necessary knowledge and tools or consult trained professionals for reliable wall- mounting.

1. Remove the four screws that attach the speaker bezel to the enclosure and remove the cardboard insert from inside the enclosure.
2. Choose the appropriate mounting option based on your speaker position:
   • #6 screws and washers for mounting to gang box: Use this option if mounting to a gang box.
   • Flat wall mount: Hardware not supplied. Use tapping screws for concrete/brick.
   • Angled wall mount: Hardware not supplied. Use tapping screws for concrete/brick.
   • Flush mount: Hardware supplied. Use the provided flush-mount brackets for installation.
3. If applicable, use the pluggable CAN bus connector to attach one or more NQ-E7020 Digital Call Switches to the Nyquist VoIP Module 820-00071-00.
4. If using the CAN bus, ensure that the CAN_H and CAN_L connections use Cat 5 10/100 twisted pair cable.

Once the speaker is installed, it can be connected to a Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector using a Cat 5 or higher cable. The speaker is now ready to use without the need for manual adjustment of external amplifiers, traditional intercom wiring, or transformer taps.

To configure the speaker, access the web-based user interface (web UI) and follow the instructions provided in the Nyquist Gen-3 VoIP Speakers Configuration Guide. The web UI also allows for firmware updates and setting of parameters for Digital Signal Processing (DSP).

• With the Nyquist Series Gen-3 VoIP Wall Baffle Speaker, there is no need to manually set or adjust external amplifiers, traditional intercom wiring, or transformer taps. Connect the speaker via a Cat 5 or higher cable to a Pow-er-Over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector and it’s ready to use.
• The speaker features an integrated 10W power amplifier, a CAN Bus interface, a MEMS microphone for superior talkback audio, and a Form C SPDT-type 2A dry contact relay for controlling or overriding third-party devices like audio-visual sources.
• The speaker also allows DHCP deployment for easy installation. You can let your Nyquist server automatically discover and configure your speaker, or you can manually configure it through the speaker’s web-based user interface (web UI). The web UI also allows easy updating of firmware and setting of parameters for Digital Signal Processing (DSP). For more information about the web UI, refer to the Nyquist Gen-3 VoIP Speakers Configuration Guide.

Speaker Layout

• The layout of the speakers should be planned prior to installation.
• Because wall baffle speakers are designed to project forward, it is best to aim them all in the same direction, as this provides for greater coverage and clarity. You can use the building’s roof pillars or other available supports for mounting the wall baffles.
• In some cases, it may be necessary to mount the wall baffles on opposing walls. In these cases, the speakers will project sound in opposing directions.

Hallway

Wall baffle speakers work well with rooms and hallways that are 20’ to 60’ wide. Layout starts at one end of the hallway or room. The first speaker should be installed 10’ from the end of the hallway or room. The next speaker on that wall should be installed 20’ from the first speaker. Each additional speaker should be installed 20’ apart from the previous one. The first speaker on the opposing wall should be installed 20’ from the end of the hallway or room, thereby staggering the speakers. Each additional speaker should be installed 20’ apart from the pre-vious one (see Figure 1).

Rooms

In most cases, an environment, such as a classroom, requires only a single wall baffle speaker to service the entire room. The final placement of the speaker within the room can vary, but such common area locations as at the head of the room or near the room entrance are typically chosen (see Figure 2).

Based on the speaker position that has been selected, you can choose between several mounting options, as described below.

Speaker Installation

1. The speaker is packaged with the baffle attached to the enclosure, a grille, and two flush-mount brackets. Remove the four screws that attach the speaker bezel to the enclosure, then remove the cardboard insert from inside the enclosure, as shown in Figure 3.
2. Select a mounting option from Figures 4–7 and use the appropriate hardware for gang-box mount or wall mount. Bogen provides the screws and washers for mounting on a standard electrical gang box, but when mounting directly to a wall or other surface, you must supply the appropriate hardware for the specific wall/surface construction type (e.g., concrete cinder block, metal beams, etc.).

NOTE: The wall mounting of the NQ-S1810WT-G3 should be conducted by trained professionals with sufficient knowl-edge and tools to fit the wall-mount fasteners in a reliable way.

3. When applicable, use the pluggable CAN bus connector to attach one or more NQ-E7020 Digital Call Switches to the Nyquist VoIP Module 820-00071-00, as shown in Figure 8.

4. If the CAN bus is to be used, ensure the CAN_H and CAN_Luse Cat 5 10/100 twisted pair cable.

5. To connect a third-party device to the dry contact relay output, do one of the following:

   • If the device is looking for a Normally Open contact, connect the device using the NO and COM terminals.
   • If the device is looking for a Normally Closed contact, connect the device using the NC and COM terminals.
     NOTE: Use of relay contacts is optional and only recommended for connection to 12V/24V circuits, not for 120/240 VAC mains circuits.

6. Use Cat 5 or higher Ethernet cable to connect the speaker. The power is supplied by PoE using an 802.3af–com-pliant network switch or PoE injector.

7. Reattach the baffle to the enclosure with the four screws provided, then press fit the grille into the baffle as shown in Figure 9.

Using the Reset Button

The Reset button (Figure 10) allows you to either reboot the VoIP speaker or reset the appliance’s configuration settings to the factory default settings.
NOTE: Refer to the Nyquist VoIP Speaker Configuration Guide or the Nyquist System Administrator Guide for detailed instructions on how to configure these speakers.

The maximum operating temperature for the NQ-S1810WT-G3 is 35 °C.

Additional Accessories

The Nyquist Gen 3 VoIP Wall Baffle Speaker can be used with the Nyquist Digital Call Switch NQ-E7020. Refer to the Nyquist Digital Call Switch NQ-E7020 Quick Start Guide.
