Configuration setup

Before using the VMA-1240(B), it must be configured to match the application. Make sure the unit is 
unplugged from AC mains and remove the top cover to gain access to the internal elements, then set 
switches and jumpers and arrange connections as per following instruction. 

J7/8/9:

 These jumpers enable or disable a +12V DC phantom power supply to the microphone inputs 

(25), separately for every microphone. Factory default: disabled. 

J13/14/15: 

These jumpers enable or disable a 100Hz high pass filter, separately for every microphone. 

Factory default: disabled.

J10/11/12:

 These jumpers enable transformer isolation for the Mic3 input (25). Position the 3 jumpers 

all to OFF if no transformer isolation is required (factory default) or all to ON if transformer isolation is 
required. Transformer isolation will decrease the sensitivity of the microphone input by 10 dB.  

JP3: 

Sets the source for the MOH output (x). LINE1 is default. 

JP100: 

Sets stereo or mono mode for the output. Factory default: stereo. 

JP21/22: 

Determine whether the signal at the SL stereo link preamp  output (15) is affected by the emer-

gency signal or not. Factory default: enabled.

JP16/J17: 

Enable a 75Hz HPF for Line Output Transformer operation. Factory default: off

Warning

The following chapter contains work on an open unit, with contacts, wires and parts 
carrying life voltage exposed. Work must be expedited strictly and only when the unit is 
disconnected (not only switched off) from the AC supply, and all work must be expe-
dited by a qualified technician familiar with necessary safety precautions. Removing the 
top cover and expediting this work is not permitted for the end user, as indicated by the 
outside marking “no user-serviceable parts inside - do not open”. Contact your dealer 
to make these settings for you if you do not have the required qualification. The manu-
facturer takes no liability for damage to health or goods evolving from inobservance.
