System Installation Checklist - Biamp Cambridge Qt X 300 Installation & Operation Manual

SYSTEM INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Suggested order of operations for installation & commissioning a typical
sound masking system.
‰ Mount, Install and Cable all components
‰ Power & test emitters/speakers
‰ Define emitter/speaker type per output (must be connected to
the controller via QT X software or Qt X web interface)
‰ Adjust Zone on front panel to a low but audible level
as necessary
‰ Walk emitter / loudspeaker locations to verify sound masking
signal is present at each
‰ Attach peripherals (paging, audio sources, life safety panel...)
‰ Verify proper operation of each source and contact closures
‰ Discover controllers connected to the network
‰ Configure the system
‰ Configure controller's IP Address, Network Operation Mode
(single / dual network cable)
‰ Add all controllers by serial number to proper location
(Qt X software)
‰ Update firmware for all controllers
‰ Create zones as required
‰ Assign controller outputs to zones
‰ Create music paging Audio Sources and assign to Zones
(ensure emitter / loudspeaker type in use supports
audio sources)
‰ Define behaviors of input and outputs
‰ Set zone sound masking levels (42dBA SPL to 48dBA SPL)
using a calibrated sound pressure meter. Measure at 4ft. (1.2m)
above the finished floor.
Qt X Sound Masking System
‰ Adjust masking spectrum equalizer for each output as necessary
to meet project requirements. Qt X 300/600 models have
preconfigured spectrums, Qt X 800/805 require spectrum tuning
‰ Set system security / user levels and document passwords
‰ Go through each zone testing / adjusting levels, checking behavior
‰ Set Audio Source levels
‰ Capture final sound masking spectrum and sound pressure level
measurements for reporting if required
‰ Set soft start, schedules, etc., as necessary
‰ Save / backup system configuration using Qt X software
