VALCOM VIP-142-IC InformaCast Compliant High Power IP Talkback Paging

Horn

INTRODUCTION

The VIP-142-IC IP Paging Horn is an InformaCast compliant, weather-resistant, high-efficiency horn supporting multiple audio and control protocols, all delivered via a PoE-enabled IP network. A separate microphone facilitates full-duplex talkback communication. The high-impact Polycarbonate construction resists the deteriorating effects of outdoor installation.

INSTALLATION

Mounting
The VIP-142-IC 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 clamped 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-IC, 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 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-IC 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-IC will reset all configuration items (including the password) to factory default settings.
Setup
The VIP-142-IC will automatically acquire an IP address (using DHCP) and connect to the InformaCast server when connected to the network and powered up. Information specific to your application will need to be programmed into the InformaCast server. Refer to the InformaCast documentation for further information.

Additional programming for non-InformaCast functions can be programmed using the Valcom IP Solutions Setup Tool. The free IP Solutions Setup Tool can be downloaded from the Valcom website at www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
