A. General Features.
The AD-28X-MV intercom is a heavy duty, 2-way, communications device designed for in‑
dustrial applications. Nominal operating voltages include 120/240VAC, 50/60Hz and 24VDC.
Voltage changes for the 120/240VAC are internally switch selectable and the AC line is fused
with a 1/2 amp 250 volt type GMC fuse. The unit also offers transformer isolated audio inputs
and internally selectable Master or Slave mode configurations. A call button with remote call
dry contacts is also factory supplied in the unit.
The AD-28X-MV has a Type 4X enclosure and is a UL Listed Type NM (non-monitored)
signal appliance and Marine signal appliance for indoor or outdoor use and is CSA Certified.
The AD-28X-MV is additionally Listed for Class I, Groups A, B, C and D, Division 2; Class
II, Groups F and G, Division 2; and Class III.
Wire all circuits connected to the AD-28X-MV Intercom using Class I, Division 2 wiring
methods specified in Article 501-4 (b) of the NEC.
MASTER MODE:
The intercom can be configured as a Master unit (Push-to-Talk) or a Slave unit (Push-to-Listen)
by changing the MAS/SLA jumper (J2) on the printed circuit board (see Figure 6). The intercom
comes from the factory set in the Master (MAS) mode.
In the Master mode the intercom acts as an amplifier, constantly broadcasting over its speaker any
signal that it receives on the signal lines. Holding down the Listen/Talk switch changes the unit
from a speaker to a microphone (see Figure 1). The intercom will now transmit over the signal
lines to additional intercom(s) also set in the Master mode. When the switch is released it will
default back to the Listen or Speaker mode, allowing the user to receive any messages transmitted
back to it.
SLAVE MODE:
Some applications may require that the intercom constantly transmit (i.e. act as a microphone)
as opposed to constantly receive (i.e. act as a speaker). To accomplish this the intercom must be
configured in the Slave (Push-to-Listen) mode.

 To configure an intercom in the Slave mode, perform the following steps:

Disconnect power to the intercom before any installation, maintenance, or

configuration changes are performed.

1. Move the J2 jumper on the P.C. board from the MAS to SLA position (see Figure 6). This can
be done using long nose pliers, pulling the jumper off the “MAS” and center position and placing
it on the “SLA” and center position.
2. An intercom configured in the Slave mode needs to have the Listen/Talk switch default to the
talk position on the cover plate (see Figure 2).
The second change required is to rotate the position of the Talk/Listen switch. This can be ac‑
complished by loosening the rubber boot covering the toggle switch enough to allow the toggle
switch to turn 180 degrees. The dimple on the locking ring must seat itself in the locating hole
(see Figure 3). The rubber boot is then tightened up against the cover plate with the toggle switch
leaning to the talk position, as shown in Figure 2.
3. The third change involves the interconnect wiring. When a unit is placed in the Slave mode it
defaults to the Talk or transmit position. When hooked to a Master unit it is necessary to override
the Slave unit in order for the Master unit to be able to transmit. The #6 pin (remote control) on
both terminal blocks (see Figure 4) must be connected between the Master and the Slave unit.
Figures 7 to 13 contain wiring diagrams of typical intercom configurations.
REMOTE CONTROL:
Remote control is used to change the operation mode of a remote intercom from listen to talk
or from talk to listen upon activation of a local intercom. The wiring diagram section illustrates
Master/Slave Installation and Using Foot Switches Diagrams. (See figures 9, 10, and 12).
Normally open foot switches can also be connected to the Remote Control line in order to allow
“hands free” operation of the listen/talk functions.
CALL BUTTON:
Depressing the call button sends a 1 kHz tone onto the signal lines. All units listening to the line
will then broadcast this signal as a call.

The call signal is substantially louder than normal voice messages being car‑
ried on the line. Do not depress the call switch while carrying on a conversa‑
tion with someone on the system. This will subject the listener to very loud
sound levels.

The volume of the call signal is affected by the volume control on the receiving unit, so if the
volume is turned all the way down at a receiving station, the call signal will not be heard. To avoid
this problem, the call dry contacts can be utilized to drive an external signalling device.

CALL BUTTON ACTUATED DRY CONTACTS FOR OPERATING AN EXTERNAL

DEVICE:
Depressing the call button also closes a normally open dry contact rated at 0.5 A at 125 Vac or
1.25 A at 24 Vdc. This contact can be used to trigger a remote sounder or light in order to accent
the call feature. The wiring diagram illustrates how an external light or horn can be wired in to
augment the call tone. (See Figure 11.)

 24 Vdc:
When connecting the intercom to 24 Vdc, either the positive (+) supply conductor must be fused at
the source with a 1/2 A fuse or a power-limited power source must be used.
The AD-28X-MV is capable of sending DC power to another unit which is mounted in a remote
location without local power. 24 Vdc is available from pins 4 and 5 of the terminal block. It can be
run along with the signal lines to an intercom in a remote location. Only one unit should share the
power supply of another unit in any installation.
NOTE
Connect positive (+) supply conductor to pin #4 of terminal block. Connect negative (-) supply
connector to pin #5 of terminal block.
Figure 7 in the wiring diagrams section shows how two intercoms can be hooked up if no remote
power is available.

SURGE PROTECTION:
Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) devices are used to protect the audio lines and the remote control
line. The intercom must have Earth Ground terminated to it to ensure surge protection.
The output amplifier of the AD-28X-MV offers full short circuit protection and overheat protec‑
tion.

to these openings, seal the threads with pipe compound or other sealing material.

For shipboard applications, installations shall be in accordance with the

United States Coast Guard, Title 46 CRF, Parts 110‑113.

E. Electrical Connections.

Do not connect wires when power is applied.

All wiring to the intercom is terminated to the terminal block provided. The terminal block
plugs into a header on the PC board and is configured such that it can only plug in one way.
Figure 6 shows the orientation of the wiring block and describes the function of each position.
There is one jumper shown on the PC board in Figure 6 that may need to be moved depending
on the desired operation of the intercom. J2 is for configuring the intercom as either a Master or
Slave device. The intercom is factory set in the Master position.
There is a switch on the board to configure the operation of the board from 120VAC to
240VAC. The switch is factory set for the intercom to operate on 120VAC (see Figure 6).
See figures 7 through 13 for typical intercom configurations.

The Model AD-28X-MV’s circuits are not nonincendive field wiring circuits
except for foot switches. Wire all circuits connected to the AD-28X-MV
Intercom using Class I, Division 2 wiring methods specified in Article 501-4
(b) of the NEC.
