Network Connection
The VE8001A/VE8001AR has one RJ-45 network
connector on the front panel. Use a standard
Ethernet patch cable to connect the
VE8001A/VE8001AR to an Ethernet switch.
Rear View
Signal Connections
The VE8001A/VE8001AR has signal connectors on
the rear panel:
RCA jack for AUX audio input
2 Audio outputs
2 Form C relays
1 Audio input
1 Contact Closure input
AUX Input:
Local audio may be input via the
rear panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance
is 600 Ohms. Connect any compatible audio
source using an RCA patch cable. Audio
supplied through the rear panel RCA jack is
transformer coupled to both Audio Out terminals
when paging is idle. This is typically used for
background music.
Audio Out:
Two audio output connections are
provided. The term
inals labeled “Page” provide a
signal output compatible with Valcom self-amplified
speakers. Up to 40 Valcom speakers can be
connected to the Page output. The terminals
labeled “AUX” provide a signal output compatible
with most amplifiers and should be used where a
transformer-coupled output is desired.
DIP Switch:
The four-pole DIP switch controls a
supervision signal
on the “Page” audio output line.
For systems where supervision is used, setting DIP
switches 1 & 2 to ON enables supervision on the
Page audio output connections. Where supervision
is not used, set DIP switches 1 & 2 to OFF.
Switches 3 & 4 are not used.
Audio Input/Contact Closure:
One Audio Input
and one Contact Closure input are provided.
Neither input is polarity sensitive. The contact
closure is labeled "CC". The audio input
terminals are labeled "AUDIO".
Relay Channels:
Access to the two form C relays
is provided via a six pin screw terminal block. The
relays are labeled K1 and K2. Each relay is
brought out on three terminals. The common
contact is the middle terminal with the normally
closed contact on the right and the normally open
contact on the left. Relay contacts are rated for 1A
@ 24VDC.
Status Indicator Lights
The VE8001A/VE8001AR has 3 status indication
lights on the front panel:
STATUS:
Flashes during normal operation and
solid during system startup.
Green LED:
(Link) Indicates Ethernet connection
when illuminated.
Yellow LED:
(Activity) Indicator flashes to indicate
network activity.
SETUP
Information specific to your application will need to
be programmed into the VE8001A/VE8001AR using
a computer. The PC used for programming should
be connected to the same subnet as the
VE8001A/VE8001AR. Setup will be done using the
IP Solutions Setup Tool. Download the latest
version of the free IP Solutions Setup Tool from the
Valcom web site at www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
