Installing the Noise Reduction board into the 3M Base Station 1. Remove the right-hand and left-hand top covers from the 3M base station. Be careful that the main circuit board does not fall out of the plastic base. 2. See ***Important installation notice*** on next page before performing this step. Plug the A125 ribbon cable onto connector J8, located at the top of the left side of the circuit board. Be careful to support the rear side of the base station circuit board when plugging in the A125 ribbon cable. 3. Position the holes near the edge of the A125 circuit board over the plastic standoffs on the base station. 4. Attach the left-hand base station cover after configuring the A125 board, and performing the Final Checkout Procedure. Install the A125 board here Figure 1. Mounting the A125 to the C921BA Base Station ***Important installation notice*** Starting with serial number 125002477, the A125 Noise Reduction Module, Internal has a wider ribbon cable plug. A limited number of these Noise Reduction Modules have two individual ribbon cable plugs. The wider ribbon cable plug(s) are too wide to fit into the blue 20-pin base station receptacle. The receptacle on the wireless base station board must be trimmed and the ends opened. Use a sharp razor knife and make four vertical cuts. Fold the ends of the blue receptacle down as shown below. Caution - Be careful to not cut any components or circuit traces on the base station circuit board. Caution - Be careful to pull only on the ribbon connector plug. Pulling on the ribbon cable itself may cause it to separate from the plug. Instructions for trimming and opening the base station receptacle: 1. Make a vertical cut at each corner of the blue 20-pin receptacle on the base station circuit board. 2. Fold the short end sides down as shown 3. Carefully insert the ribbon cable plug(s) into the blue receptacle. The locking tab will not engage and should not be a problem. 2 System Configuration The A125 Noise Reduction board is configured by two jumper switches, (JMP1 and JMP2), shown in Table 1. Jumper Position Position A Position B JMP1 * Separate microphone & speaker at menu sign/post OSM (speaker used as both a speaker and a microphone at the menu sign/post) JMP2 * C960 Intercom C5000 Intercom Note: * Indicates factory default settings Table 1. A125 Jumper Settings Mode Configuration The A125 Noise Reduction board can be configured in several different modes by using DIP switch, SW1. Following is a brief description of each mode and a DIP switch setting table. Noise Reduction: When DIP Switch number 1 ON the inbound microphone voice signal is digitized. On digitized, the noise is digitally removed from the voice by the digital signal processor and converted back to an analog voice signal. The analog voice signal is then sent to the microphone input of the intercom. When DIP Switch number 1 is OFF the inbound microphone voice signal is digitized and converted back to an analog voice signal without removing any noise. The analog voice signal is then sent to the microphone input of the intercom. Echo Reduction: Used to reduce echo for full-duplex intercom configurations. Turn Echo Reduction OFF for half-duplex intercom configuration. Restaurant / Truck Stop Noise Reduction Level: When DIP Switch number 3 is OFF, the board is set for restaurant noise reduction level. When DIP Switch number 3 is ON, the board is set for truck stop noise reduction level. This provides approximately 6dB more noise reduction with slightly more voice dedegration. Hi Frequency Equalization: When DIP Switch number 4 is ON, the higher end frequencies are increased by 3dB. This should be set to the customer’s preference.

A125 DIP Switch Settings 3 Status Indication The condition of the red LED on the 3M C960 base station indicates the current status of the unit. The LED can be off, blink at defined intervals, or be constantly lit. Table 3 illustrates the status indicated by the LEDs. Status LED Power OFF LED Off Normal Mode LED blinks once per every two seconds Test Mode LED blinks three times per second Fault Condition LED is solid red (constantly lit) Table 3. A125 Status Indication Final Checkout Procedure 1. On the C921BA Base Station, turn the NRM ON/OFF switch ON. The red LED should blink slowly. Listen for a reduction in the background noise. 2. If the A125 is in a half-duplex system, set SW2 number 2 OFF and proceed to step 3. If the A125 is in a full-duplex system set SW2 number 2 OFF. Speak into the headset microphone. The echo should increase. Turn SW2 number 2 back ON. The echo should decre...
