Place paging and intercom devices
Place school paging speakers, headends, call buttons, clocks and displays, then set their cabling and product details.
Where to find it: open the project › Palette › Equipment › Paging & intercom
- Pick a headend, classroom call button, clock, display, speaker, or paging alert device. Click on the sheet to place it. Use a combo icon when a clock or message display shares a housing with its speaker. Draw separate devices for separate housings.
- For round, wall, lay-in and pendant speakers and paging horns, choose Passive, Powered analog, or IP / PoE. Passive draws a white centre. Both powered choices draw a solid body. IP/PoE starts with one Cat6 in the shipped cabling defaults. Powered analog starts without an assumed cable or power circuit. You can change the Variant in Properties. All three share one numbering sequence. Equipment distinguishes the connections, and the legend uses one row per picture.
- Under Product, enter the Manufacturer, Model and Part number as needed. Set Network for a device that requires a network port. For analog equipment, add the cables required by the job in Cabling. Record details such as voltage or PoE class in a cable note.
- If a classroom call button runs to a particular speaker or controller, send its cable to that icon. Check the device's mount height before estimating cable lengths.
For a fire alarm appliance, use the fire alarm symbols in wire fire alarm devices. To represent a device that still needs a dedicated symbol, place an Other and name it.
