Battery Charger Install the battery charger and begin charging the batteries before you install any other components. Install the battery charger in a clean, dry environment. An office location is best. The battery charger may be placed on a flat surface such as a table, desk, etc., or it can be fastened to a wall using the optional wall–mount kit.

Connecting the Base Station to Components Using the Optional Interconnect Module Connect the base station to the interconnect module as shown in Figure 6. Note that the connections are made to the “TO CONTROL MODULE” terminals on the interconnect module. Figure 6.
Figure 8 through Figure 10 (depending on the model of intercom used). The presence alert shown is wired to operate only when the Model C960/C860 is turned off. If a separate outside microphone is used, the auxiliary intercom must be configured for OUTSIDE MIC.
Important If you use a D–30 as the auxiliary intercom, a separate monitor speaker must be provided for the Model C960/C860. (Both the Model C960/C860 and D– 30 intercoms require separate monitor speakers.) Figure 10. D–30 Connections Dual Lane System Installation A dual lane system consists of two separate single lane systems that operate independently of each other.
Refer to the installation instructions included with the Cross Lane Module (78–6911–4396–6). These instructions are also located in the C960 Service Manual. A Cross-Lane Module can be useful if the manager wishes to operate each lane with a separate crew during periods of peak activity.
Programming the Headsets for Cross-Lane Operation Follow the steps below to program the C960 headsets for Cross-Lane operation, and disable the Talk-Lock function. It does not matter which base station is used to program the headsets. By pressing T1, the headset will always communicate with the lane 1 base station;...
Page 37
2. Program the Headsets for Cross-Lane Operation • With the headset OFF, press and hold T1 and T2 while pressing ON for 5 seconds. You will hear an acknowledging beep. • Verify that the headsets are properly programmed for Cross-Lane operation: Press T1 and verify that the Talk LED lights on the lane 1 base station and does not light on the lane 2 base station.
Page 38
2. Listening and Paging in a Cross Lane system With the AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT wires disconnected, the T1 and T2 buttons control which menu sign to talk or listen to. They also control which headsets to PAGE to. Disconnecting the AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT wires presents some issues if a cook or cashier needs to monitor both lanes: •...
System Configurations and Function Jumper Settings Important Whenever a jumper setting is changed, the RESET SWITCH on the base station circuit board must be pressed to program the new jumper setting into the microprocessor. Also, each of the headsets in the system must be reprogrammed when a jumper setting is changed (see Channel Selection on page 14 for the headset programming procedure).
Duplex Operation – Single Lane System (One Base Station) Function Jumper Settings Menu Sign with Separate Speaker and Jumper pins 2 and 3 on jumpers J1 and J2. Microphone Lane 1 System Jumper pins 1 and 2 of jumper J3. Air Switch (Pulse) Detector Jumper pins 1 and 2 of jumper J4.
Channel Selection The Model C960/C860 Headset Intercom System can operate on any one of eight different channels.* Select a channel that neither receives or causes interference and then program the headsets to that channel using the following procedure: 1. Pull slightly outward on the lower right side of the base station half–cover and then lift and remove the cover as shown in Figure 12.
If interference is still present and the system is a single lane system, try changing the J3 lane designation jumper from lane 1 to lane 2. If this fails and none of the channels are interference free, contact your 3M representative. Setting Audio Levels To set the audio levels, refer to the related audio level procedure below and to the illustration of the base station circuit board (Figure 14).
Duplex Systems Only The following procedure sets system audio levels for duplex systems so that headset/belt pack volume controls have enough “range” to allow operators to adjust headset volume to their preference. *Note The microphone at the menu sign must be located within four feet of the vehicle for duplex operation.
3. Adjust the HEADSET ALERT LEVEL control to provide a comfortable alert tone level in the headset (clockwise to increase; counterclockwise to decrease). Monitor Speaker Volume Levels The monitor speaker volume levels are the levels for the various functions heard through the optional monitor speaker.
Menu Sign Talk Volume Level The menu sign talk volume level is the volume of the headset/belt pack audio heard at the menu sign. To set the menu sign talk volume level: 1. Move the DAY/NIGHT switch on the base station to the DAY position. 2.

Jumper pins 1 and 2 on both jumpers for menu signs having a speaker only. Jumper pins 2 and 3 on both jumpers for menu signs having a speaker and a microphone.
Important After changing any jumper setting(s), be sure to press the RESET SWITCH on the base station circuit board to “read” the change into the microprocessor. Adjustment Controls Controls the volume of the menu sign audio heard in the headset. MENU MIC SENS Controls the volume of the alert tone heard in the headset.

78-9236-6498-7 Introduction These instructions explain how to install and configure the 3M Models A200 and A201 Loop Detectors as part of a Drive-thru Vehicle Detection System. With the exception of mounting, both circuit boards are the same. The Model A200 Loop Detector comes with a 12VDC plug-in power supply and is designed as a stand-alone loop detector.
Page 121
ü Note The Model A201 Loop Detector is designed specifically as an optional accessory for the 3M C921BA or later Base Station only. 1. Remove the right-hand and loosen the left-hand top covers from the C921BA base station. Be careful that the C921BA circuit board does not fall out of the plastic base.
Page 122
Sensitivity and Operating Modes The sensitivity and operating modes are set with DIP switch S1 located on the circuit board. Four levels of sensitivity can be set with S1-1 and S1-2. The delay time is set with S1-3. The operating mode is set with S1-4.

Page 127
When a vehicle triggers the A300, the music will be interrupted while the greeter plays its message(s). The music will resume playing at the menu speaker 2 minutes after the vehicle detect signal is disengaged. Note: Use this feature only with the 3M C921BA Base Station.
Page 128
A300 plays message(s) to the Menu Speaker. The message(s) can only be heard if the A300 AUDIO OUT line is connected to the C760/C960 AUDIO IN line (use AUDIO OUT potentiometer on A300 to adjust message volume). When SW2 number 8 is OFF, the A300 message will be heard through the menu microphone while the message is being played through the menu speaker.
Page 129
Also press the DAY/NIGHT button while playing a message to verify the night-time menu sign message volume. 11. For 3M C760/C960 Systems only. Adjust potentiometer AUDIO OUT to set the message volume in the headset/intercom. Note: Potentiometer AUDIO OUT is only used to set the message volume for the convenience of the headset/intercom operator.
