INSTALLATION
Mounting
The VIP-142 is shipped with two screws holding the mounting base to the horn.
Remove the two screws and save them for reassembly. Pull the metal base away
from the horn to separate them. The base can be mounted to a single-gang or
double-gang electrical box, directly to a surface (wall), or lamped to a
structural I-beam.
When mounting vertically, note the “UP” indicator on the base to orient it
correctly.
The horn is mounted to the base after the base is properly secured.
Gaskets and grommets are provided to enhance weather resistance.
Wall or Surface Mounting Install the network ethernet cabling to the mounting
location. If using the call switch input and/or relay output of the VIP-142,
install the cabling for those connections. Route the cables through the large
gasket (if used) and then through the back of the mounting base. Install a
split grommet around the ethernet cable and call switch/relay wiring and press
into the mounting base holes. If not using the call switch/relay wiring, use
the solid grommet plug to fill the extra hole. See Figures 1 and 2.
If using the relay or call switch, make wiring connections to the screw
terminals on the mounting base. The terminals are labeled for the Relay
Normally Open (NO) and Common (COM) and the Call Switch In and Ground.
For mounting to an electrical box, use the four #6-32 screws (included) to
attach the mounting base to the box, as shown in Figure 3.
For mounting to a solid surface, such as a wall, use the appropriate hardware
to attach the mounting bracket to the surface. See Figure 4.
I-Beam Mounting
A C Clamp is provided for mounting to the flange of an I-Beam. Attach the C
Clamp to the metal mounting base using the ¼-20 x 3/8” machine screw through
the hole in the center of the base. Install network ethernet cabling and call
switch/relay connections as noted in the Wall or Surface Mounting instructions
above.
Attach the base to the I-Beam by sliding the C Clamp over the I-Beam flange
and tightening the screw securely. See Figure 5.
If not using the C Clamp, a rubber plug is provided to fill the hole in the
base.
With the mounting base securely installed, the IP Horn can be attached to the base. Note the socketed connectors on the horn and base, and make sure they line up properly before pressing the two together. Use the four #8-32 x 1 ¼ “ screws to attach the horn to the mounting base.
Reset Modes
Resetting the horn programming back to Factory Defaults can be performed by
connecting/disconnecting the PoE connection (power) in a specific sequence.
Connect the network cable (PoE) and let the VIP-142 begin to boot up. After 45
seconds, disconnect the ethernet cable. Repeat this action 9 more times, for
a total of 10 starts. On the next boot-up, the VIP-142 will reset all
configuration items (including the password) to factory default settings.
Setup
Information specific to your application will need to be programmed into the
VIP-142 using a computer. The PC used for the programming should be connected
to the same subnet as the horn. Setup will be done using the IP Solutions
Setup Tool. Download the latest version of the free IP Solutions Setup Tool
from the Valcom website at
