INSTALLATION
Assembly and Mounting
The VIP-429A-A-SA is designed for recessed or
flush mounting to a Valcom backbox (not included).
For recessed mounting, the Valcom VB-R22 may
be used. For surface mounting, use the Valcom
VB-S23 or VB-A24.
Mount the clock face to the speaker grille using the
clock mounting bracket included in the clock
package (See Figure 1). The mounting bracket
should be attached to the speaker grille using two
screws and nuts provided, with the large
rectangular cutout in the bracket aligned with the
similar hole in the grille.
Before mounting the clock to the bracket, remove
the shipping pin from the back of the clock
movement. Connect the 5-pin Molex connector to
the clock movement and route the wiring harness
through one of the square cutouts in the speaker
grille to the clock circuit board. Insert the 4-pin
screw connector into the receptacle on the clock
circuit board. Mount the clock face to the clock
bracket with the two black screws provided.
With the clock mounted to the speaker grille,
connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network
jack on the speaker circuit board, then mount the
grille to the backbox with the hardware provided.
Network Connection
The VIP-429A-A-SA has one RJ-45 network
connector on the rear panel. Use a standard patch
cable to connect the VIP-429A-A-SA to an Ethernet
switch providing Power over Ethernet (PoE)
meeting the 802.3af specification. If the switch
does not provide power, a mid-span power injector
may be used. (See Figure 2)
Mute Out Connection
The Mute Out may optionally be connected to the
mute input of Valcom Classroom audio
management systems in order to suspend locally
originated classroom audio during intercom
announcements.
Call Switch Connection
The Talkback IP Speaker provides a call switch
input via screw terminal connections. Connect a
momentary contact switch to Switch 1 and Ground.
