The PRAESENSA PSP-D00097 and PSP-D00098 are wall mount adapters designed for the PRAESENSA Digital Public Address and Emergency Sound System, specifically for use with call stations. These adapters facilitate the secure and organized installation of PRAESENSA call stations on a wall, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic integration within an environment.
Function Description:
The primary function of these adapters is to provide a robust and convenient mounting solution for PRAESENSA call stations. The PSP-D00097 is designed for the PRA-CSLW call station, while the PSP-D00098 is for the PRA-CSLW call station combined with the PRA-CSE extension. They allow the call station(s) to be securely affixed to a wall, making them readily accessible for public address and emergency announcements. The design incorporates features for cable management, ensuring a neat and professional installation by concealing wiring within the adapter and wall. This contributes to a clean appearance and protects the cables from damage.
Important Technical Specifications:
The installation process for both models involves several common components and steps, indicating similar structural and mounting principles.
- Mounting Hardware:
- Combi screws (M3x6 TORX): 3 pieces are used for securing internal components or the call station itself to the adapter. The TORX head suggests a secure fastening method that resists cam-out.
- Pan head screws (M4x8 TORX): 6 pieces for PSP-D00097 and 8 pieces for PSP-D00098 are used for more substantial connections, likely for attaching the call station or extension to the adapter. The TORX head provides similar benefits to the M3x6 screws.
- Lock washers (4.3x8): 6 pieces for PSP-D00097 and 8 pieces for PSP-D00098 are used in conjunction with the M4x8 pan head screws to prevent loosening due to vibration or movement, ensuring a stable and long-lasting installation.
- Wall mounting screws: The manual indicates "6x screw" for mounting the wall adapter to the wall, implying standard wall screws suitable for the mounting surface.
- Connectivity:
- Gb-Ethernet cables (CAT6A F/UTP recommended): One or two shielded Gb-Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors are required to connect the call station to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) port. This indicates that the call station is powered over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power supply. The recommendation for CAT6A F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) suggests a need for high-speed data transfer and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, crucial for reliable communication in a public address system.
- RJ12-cable (for PSP-D00098 only): A short RJ12-cable is used to connect the call station to its extension (PRA-CSE) in the PSP-D00098 configuration. This cable facilitates communication and power sharing between the main call station and its extension module.
Usage Features:
- Integrated Design: The adapters are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with PRAESENSA call stations, ensuring a snug fit and professional appearance.
- Secure Mounting: The use of TORX screws and lock washers emphasizes a secure and stable installation, preventing accidental dislodgement and protecting the equipment.
- Cable Management: The design allows for the concealment of Ethernet and power cables within the adapter and wall, contributing to a tidy installation and preventing cable damage or tampering.
- PoE Compatibility: The reliance on PoE for the call station simplifies wiring, as only a single Ethernet cable is needed for both data and power.
- Modular Support (PSP-D00098): The PSP-D00098 specifically supports the addition of an extension module (PRA-CSE) to the call station, expanding its functionality while maintaining a unified wall-mounted form factor. This modularity allows for customization of the call station's capabilities based on specific system requirements.
- Ease of Assembly: The quick installation manual provides a step-by-step guide with clear illustrations, indicating that the assembly process is designed to be straightforward for installers.
Maintenance Features:
While the manual focuses on installation, several aspects imply maintenance considerations:
- Durable Construction: The use of multiple screws and washers for securing components suggests a robust construction designed for long-term reliability in a fixed installation.
- Accessibility for Wiring: The initial steps of removing the bracket and connector cover indicate that internal components and wiring are accessible for initial setup and potentially for future troubleshooting or replacement of cables.
- Standardized Fasteners: The use of common screw types (M3x6, M4x8 TORX) means that standard tools can be used for installation and any subsequent maintenance, simplifying tool requirements.
- Protected Wiring: By housing the cables within the adapter and wall, the wiring is protected from environmental factors, accidental damage, and unauthorized access, which reduces the likelihood of faults and the need for frequent maintenance.
- Clear Installation Instructions: The detailed visual guide in the manual aids in correct installation, which is a critical factor in minimizing future maintenance issues caused by improper setup. Should a component need to be accessed or replaced, the reverse of the installation steps would likely apply, guided by the same clear diagrams.
In summary, the PRAESENSA PSP-D00097 and PSP-D00098 wall mount adapters are essential components for integrating PRAESENSA call stations into a public address and emergency sound system. They offer a secure, aesthetically pleasing, and functionally sound method for wall mounting, leveraging PoE for simplified connectivity and providing robust support for both standalone call stations and those with extension modules.
