Installing the Card
To connect the VPM4580 to the main CPU board,
perform the following steps:
1. Fasten the two standoffs provided with the interface
card to the threaded studs at the bottom corners of
the VPM4580 section of the control unit.
2. Line up the female connector on the interface
card with the male connector labelled VPM on
the control unit and firmly press them into place.
3. Fasten the two screws provided with the interface
card to the standoffs to secure the card in place.
Note: The security system control panel should
remain powered down until the Communiqué is
powered up and all stations have been initialized.
Note: Permanent damage could result to the
VPM4580 or the control panel if the
connections are offset. You must ensure that
proper connections are made before applying
power to the control unit.
Wiring
Refer to the Hook-up Diagram on page iii of this
manual.
1. RED, BLK, YEL and GRN Terminals
Connect the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals to
the red, black yellow and green Combus terminals on
the PC4010/PC4020 control panel. Refer to the
PC4010/PC4020 Installation Manual for complete
instructions on Combus wiring.
Installation
2. RJ11X Connector to X10 Module
Use an RJ11X connector and cable (not supplied) to
connect the VPM4580 to an X-10 PL-513 or X-10 Pro
PSC04 module. Refer to and follow the
manufacturer's instructions for installing the PL-513
or PSC04 module.
The following diagram shows the required cable
for connecting the VPM4580 to the PSC04 (PL513).
With the jacks side by side (tabs facing up), the
colours of the wire in each jack will appear in the
same order from left to right. This cable is called a
“Straight Through Cable” as per telephone
industry standards.
NOTE
: Please do not use a “Swapped”, “Flipped”
or “Crossover” cable as it will not work with the
VPM4580. To verify whether you have the correct
type of cable, plug in the PSC04 (PL513). The red
LED should turn ON. Connect the telephone cable
to both the PSC04 (PL513) and the VPM4580 If the
LED on the PSC04 (PL513) turns OFF and remains
unlit, you are using the wrong type of cable.
