Description
The Bogen VRS3 is a vandal-resistant speaker designed for hands-free two-way communications. The VRS3 consists of a 3-inch, weather-resistant, cone-type speaker and a 25V transformer (tapped at 0.25, 0.5, and 1 watt). The speaker is protected from harm by the faceplate and three (3) interwoven steel screens. Included with speaker are four (4), tamper-resistant, #6-32 x 1”, ‘pin-in-torx’ screws.
The VRS3 includes a heavy-duty metal momentary push button switch that protrudes slightly from the faceplate and can be used to initiate a call to a control center. The switch can be wired for use with systems that require a momentary contact closure for call annunciation
Installation
The VRS3 should be mounted to a 3-gang box (5-13/16″ L x 4″ W x 2-1/8″ H), such as the Thomas & Betts Model 3G4D 1/2, or equivalent. Alternatively, the VRS3 can be surface mounted using an enclosure from Quam (model SE3GVP). One shielded-pair and one-unshielded-pair cable is required, such as in West Penn 357 or Belden 8724. The unshielded white and green conductors should be terminated to the momentary button screw terminal connections, and to tap the speaker at 0.5 watts connect the two shielded conductors red and black to the yellow and black conductors on the VRS3. Refer to the appropriate system installation instructions to terminate the cable at the system control center. The transformer can also be bypassed for 8-ohm operation.
