INSTALLATION OF MINI ROOM STATIONS
A composite 3-gang box can be used
to house the System One MINI.
1)
Attach the 3-gang electrical box
to a wall stud at desired location.
2) Run Valet intercom cable
(8VM500) or Cat5 cable to all
installed room station locations.
WIRING
Valet System One inter-
coms can be wired in a loop or star
style configuration. Star configuration
is also refered to as “home run”. If the
“home run” style of wiring is desired,
we recommend utilizing a structured
wiring enclosure with RJ45 style
connectors for a hassle-free installation.
ROUGH IN
Typical rough-in configuration
1) Attach VPS3DC Power Supply.
Requirements
A Regulated 13.8V DC power supply
is required to power the system.
The required current rating of the
supply will vary depending on the
size of the system and is equal to the
sum of the current draw of each unit
used.
CURRENT DRAW
MASTER - 350 mA peak
STATIONS - 150 mA peak
AUX O-P BOARD - 60 mA per board
An 800 mA plug pack will operate a
system comprising of 5 Room/Door
Stations.
A 2 Amp plug pack will operate a
system comprising of 13 Room/Door
Stations.
Standby Battery (Optional)
Many 15 VDC power supplies
accommodate the use of a standby
battery which may be used to allow
the entire system to run in the event
of a mains power fail.
The duration of battery backup is
dependant upon:
a)
the size of battery(s) used
b) the number of stations connected
A system using a 12V 6.5AH battery
with ten stations connected to a
master will run for approximately 3 hrs
with music playing at a moderately
high volume. (6 hrs w/ music off)
POWER SUPPLY
Multiple Supplies
Multiple power supplies may be
used to provide additional current
however their output voltages need
to be identical to minimize power
losses.
Connect the Terminal block
The Terminal Block can now be
connected to the 10 pin strip
located on the back of the PC
Board.
The Terminal Block must be
connected exactly as shown in
Fig. 4. If using Valet cable, the
Red wire should be on the
bottom connector of the 10 pin
strip. Keep in mind, if using
Cat5 cable, the Orange wire
should be on the bottom
connector of the 10 pin strip. In
both instances the screws that
secure the wires into the
Terminal Block must be facing
away from the speaker.
Mount the MINI to the wall
Once the Terminal Block is
properly installed on the back of
the PC Board, the room station
can be mounted to the wall.
Attaching the System One MINI
to the mounting bracket is very
easy. Simply slide the room
station over the metal bracket
until the back of the facia is flush
with the face of the wall. (Fig. 5)
Secure the screws
& cover with end tabs
Once the facia is flush against
the wall, the screws that are
already installed in the metal
mounting bracket will need to be
tightened to hold the facia in
place.
After securing the facia to the
mounting bracket, the end tabs
that cover up the screws will
need to be snapped onto the
ends of the facia. (Fig. 6)
