REMOTE STATION WIRING
PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES
An individual 6-wire cable (IW-6) must be connected from
each remote station or remote control location to the master
station’s terminal board.
Maximum station wire length: 750 ft.
Maximum total length of IW-6 cable per system: 4,000 ft.
The NuTone IM-4406 master station has been designed for
ease of installation. Please read and follow ALL installation
instructions, guidelines and precautions. Any deviation from
these instructions or miswiring combinations may result in
unit failure and void of warranty.
WARNING!
IMPORTANT! NuTone cannot be responsible for
improper system operation that results from
interference generated by light dimmers, fluorescent
lighting fixtures, and similar electrical products. Such
interference must be corrected at the source. TO HELP
REDUCE THIS INTERFERENCE, ALL WIRING
CONNECTIONS TO THE MASTER MUST BE PLACED
AT LEAST 12 INCHES FROM ANY AC POWER WIRING.
AVOID RUNNING INTERCOM WIRES PARALLEL TO
AC POWER WIRING.
120 Volt AC Power to Transformers in the IR-105
Rough-in MUST Remain OFF until ALL System Wiring
at the Master and Remote Stations is Complete.
• Observe all local building regulatory codes in your area.
• All screw terminals at the master and remote stations must
be secure.
• Observe all color code connections of wires when
connecting the remote stations to the master.
• The IM-4406 is designed to be installed with only NuTone
specified wire. No other wire should be used. The use of
wire other than NuTone wire will void all NuTone warranties
and may result in faulty installation and improper operation.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF REMOTE STATIONS
The master station will accommodate up to 9 connections
at the terminal board. These connections can be any
combination of remote stations, remote controls or volume
controls. It will also accommodate 3 door speaker
connections.
IMPORTANT WARNING!
THE POWER TRANSFORMER CONTAINS AN
INTERNAL FUSE.
If more than 9 stations are required, use the optional
DO NOT SHORT THE LOW VOLTAGE CONNECTING
SCREWS OF THE TRANSFORMER OR THE

1. Refer to Figure 22. To connect an external audio source
(NuTone Model CP-95 cassette, stereo system, VCR, TV,
etc. with low level audio output) to the IM-4406 master
station, locate the TAPE and AUXiliary inputs on the
upper center of the master station’s main circuit board.
2. Connect an RCA™ phono type plug to the shielded audio
cable coming from the external audio source. Follow the
phono plug manufacturer’s instructions when connecting
to the cable.
3. Insert the phono plug into the appropriate input jack
(TAPE or AUX) on the master station’s main circuit board.
NOTE: The TAPE and AUX inputs have input audio level
controls to allow matching of the external audio source
with the radio and CD audio of the master.
1. Refer to Figure 23. Cut the protective sleeving from the end
of the BLK/WHT CP-95 power supply leads.
2. Separate 2 inches of the supply leads.
3. Strip the outer insulation back approximately 5/8˝ from the
end of the cable.
4. Connect the power leads from the CP-95 to the CP-95 power
supply leads of the master station (polarity is not important).
Use wire nuts to protect the bare wires from shorting.
4. To use the selected source audio for recording onto a
cassette recorder, insert the recorder’s plug into the
master station’s LINE OUT jack.
5. Optional connection to provide program audio only:
• The CD, radio or optional audio sources can be
channeled through an auxiliary amplifier (purchase
a NuTone Model IMA-516 separately) to provide
uninterrupted music (no intercom) to separate
speakers. This type of installation can be used for
example, in a doctor’s office where intercom and
music are desired in the office area, but music only
is desired in the waiting room.
CONNECT CP-95
POWER LEADS
• NOTE: If an auxiliary amplifier is used, connect the
master station’s LINE OUT jacks to the auxiliary
amplifier’s low-level audio input wires using shielded
audio cable (not supplied by NuTone).
FIGURE 23
• NOTE: When using the LINE OUT for recording
program audio or distributing program audio only
through an external amplifier, the automatic CD PAUSE
should be disabled or the audio present on the LINE
OUT jack will stop when the intercom or chime is used.
To disable the CD PAUSE, refer to the homeowner’s
manual.

NOTE: The mounting screws will pierce the wall surface
behind the mounting brackets. If the wall surface is hard, a
clearance hole must be drilled behind the mounting bracket
before securing the master station panel.
FIGURE 25
POWERING UP THE SYSTEM
Once all connections have been completed throughout the
system, it is time to apply power to the master station.
1. Apply power to the master station by turning on the circuit
breaker that supplies power to the transformers in the
IR-105 rough-in frame.
2. When power is first applied, the LCD display will flash
1:00 PM. Refer to the Operational Checkout section of
this manual for additional information.
PLEASE NOTE
If permanent AC power has not been connected, or the
AC power will be off for long periods of time, the
battery should not be connected at this time. When the
battery is connected, the correct time and programmed
radio memory stations will be retained for
approximately 30 hours on battery backup.

In order to have proper intercom audio levels, it is
SETTING THE BEEP TONE LEVEL
The internal BEEP tone volume control has been factory set
to a normal level for the BEEP tone to be heard when the CD
Player operation is initiated from a remote station by using
the AM/FM/CD CONTROL/END CALL key. Should that level
require adjustment, use the following procedure:
1. Refer to Figure 28. Using a thin-blade screwdriver, adjust
the BEEP TONE volume control counter-clockwise as
viewed from the rear of the master station panel to reduce
the BEEP level.

2. Speak with a clear normal voice about 2-3 feet from the
master station’s speaker.
3. Adjust the INTERCOM VOLUME control until the initiating
station’s audio is clearly heard at all stations in the
system.
PLEASE NOTE: The volume control at all stations should be
set between 1⁄2 to maximum volume for proper intercom
operation.
4. Repeat the above procedure at several remote station
locations until an acceptable intercom audio level is
achieved at all stations.

FIGURE 28
The internal intercom volume control has been factory set for
optimum intercom operation. Should the intercom gain need
to be adjusted beyond the range of the Intercom Volume
Control behind the left front door, use the following procedure:
1. Refer to Figure 27. Using a thin-blade screwdriver, adjust
the internal control counter-clockwise as viewed from the
rear of the master station panel. This adjustment will
reduce the intercom gain.
SETTING THE EXTERNAL AUDIO
SOURCE LEVEL
The TAPE and AUX level controls have been factory set at
maximum. These controls can be adjusted to match the
external audio source level with the built-in radio and CD
Player levels. Use the following procedure:
1. Press the FM key.
2. Tune the radio to a strong local radio station.
3. Turn on the external audio source(s) connected to the
master station.
2. To increase the intercom gain, turn the internal control
clockwise.
4. Switch the master station from FM to TAPE or AUX.
5. Refer to Figure 29. Using a thin-blade screwdriver, adjust

PLEASE NOTE: An incorrect voltage caused by
miswiring, shorted wiring or a defective remote
station may cause the radio and/or CD Player to
turn off/on, thus preventing the unit from
entering the diagnostic mode. Should this occur,
the master station’s control timer will stop the
on/off cycling after 30 seconds.
The control voltage windows for the three intercom modes
and quiescent mode are listed above. For proper intercom
operation, the control voltage produced when an intercom
key is pressed at a remote station should fall between the
voltage indicated.
NOTE: Pressing the END CALL, DOOR TALK, or
INSIDE/PATIO keys at the master station will not change the
voltage on the control line. If a remote station does not
produce a voltage within the above window for a specific
intercom function, check the following:
• Make sure all connections from the master station are
properly installed at the terminal board.
• Check IW-6 connections at the master station terminal
board and at each remote station.
• Confirm that the suspect remote station functions properly
by replacing it with a known good remote station.
