AIPHONE TW-SE Aluminum Tower
Introduction
These instructions cover installing the alluminum towers using the TW-MKL, as well as wiring of beacon / strobe and panel light to a 24V DC source.
TW-MKL L-Bracket Mounting Kit
- 4 x L-bolts
- 8 x ³⁄4” hex nuts
- 8 x ³⁄4” washers
- 1 x printed template
- 1 x assembly intstructions
It is recommended to transfer the provided template to a piece of wood between ¹⁄2” and 1” thick. This will make it easier to properly pisition the L-bolts into the poured concrete foundation.
TW-MKL Installation
Intercom and electrical wire conduits should be run through the foundation and
into the center 4” diameter hole of the tower. These cable runs must be run
separately, not in the same conduit. It is the responsibility of the installer
to ensure that all applicable electrical codes are met.
Pour the foundation at least 2 feet in diameter and 3 feet deep and in
accordance with local building codes and frost line.
Install the 4 L-bolts below the grade with 5” projecting about the grade (see
drawing below). Use the template to properly position the L-bolts within the
concreate foundation.
Once the foundation has set, reomove the template. Install one ³⁄” hex nut and
one washer on each L-bolt 2 to 2-1/2” above grade to the top of the washer.
This will allow a ¹⁄2” air gap between the foundation and tower base to allow
airflow and prevent moisture problems. Verify that the nuts are level
.
Tower Mounting
Remove the access panel from the tower. Carefully install the base module onto
the level washers/nuts, ensuring that the unit is oriented in the desired
direction (access panel in on the back). Check that the tower is level at this
point. Install the second set of nuts and washers on the L-bolts and carefully
tighten them, securing the tower to the concrete foundation. Adjust as
necessary.
To install the top plate with the light cage, feed the wires for the light
through the hole on the top of the tower. Fasten the top plate to the tower
using the provided securing screws. The beacon/strobe will require a dedicated
24V DC power supply or the PS-POE. This will also be used to power the tower’s
LED illuminator, located above the intercom opening.
Beacon / Strobe wiring
Locate the beacon/strobe wires and connect to the 24V DC power source.
- Red to +24V DC (Positive)
- Black to -24V DC (Ground)
- White (trigger wire) to one side of a Normally Open (NO) relay on the emergency station. Connect the other side of the Normally Open (NO) relay to the +24V DC (Positive) power source.
Locate the panel light wires and connect to the 24V DC power source.
- Red to +24V DC (Positive)
- Black to -24V DC (Ground)
