IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!

This sign warns user about important

operating, maintenance, and servicing instructions for this produc t.

IMPORTANT DO’S & DON’TS

✔

DO ensure that all instructions have been followed before power is applied to system. The installation shall be carried out in accordance with all applicable installation rules.

✔

DO use only Cat-5 & RG-6 and specified wires called out in these instructions. The cable is designed and constructed with electrical specifications necessary for proper audio performance.

✔

DO use only a damp cloth to clean the exterior plastics on the VMC1 Master Station and Room Stations.

✔

DO NOT use liquid or aerosols.

✔

DO make gradual bends of the cable where necessary -- no sharper than 1” radius.

✔

DO dress the cables neatly with cable ties or Velcro™ wraps. Use loose or moderate pressure.

✔

DO use cable-pulling lubricant only for cable runs that may otherwise require great force to install. When cable lubricant is used, read the instructions to be sure it is compatible with the cable jacket material (PVC or FEP).

✔

DO avoid stressing cable conductors, limit pulling tension to

25 pounds or less as specified by EIA/TIA-568A standard.

Pull cables gradually and with constant tension, taking care not to crush or pinch bundles.

✔

DO use grommets to protect the cable where passing through metal studs or anything that can possibly damage them.

✔

DO test every installed cable run with a cable tester. “Toning” alone is not acceptable.

✔

DO label every termination point. Use a unique identifier for each cable run. It will make moves, adds, changes, and troubleshooting easier.

✔

DO support horizontal cable bundles using board supports,

J-hooks, or cable trays.

✔

DO have signal cables cross at right angles to power cables to minimize induced interference.

✔

DO always obey all local and national fire and building codes. Be sure to “firestop” all cables that penetrate a firewall. Use plenum-rated cable where mandated.

✔

DO have a licensed electrician to run a 120 VAC line from

A DEDICATED 15-AMP BREAKER to the VMC1 power supply.

✔

DO Use Cat-5 wire for all VMC1 wire runs.

✔

DO label all wire runs. Connecting the wires to the VMC1 master, room station, or door station incorrectly may result in system damage.

✔

DO NOT STAPLE CABLES. Staples cause shorts.

✔

DO NOT SPLICE CABLES. Splices are unreliable and defeat the signal isolation properties of the cable.

✔

DO keep cables at least 18 inches from flourescent light fixtures, Dimmer controls, and all other wiring. This includes

AC wiring, security cable, and other control wires. These can cause a “hum” or “buzzing” sound.

✔

DO keep cables away from objects such as heating and air conditioning ducts, metal construction plates, and anything else with sharp edges that can damage the cables.

✔

DO follow the grounding and bonding requirements established by Electrical Code TIA standard 607, and equipment manufacturer’s specifications.

✔

DO NOT locate the VMC1 Master Station or Room Stations on an exterior wall.

✔

DO NOT locate the VMC1 Master Station or Room Stations in any wall cavity with any other electrical wiring in the cavity.

✔

DO NOT attach non line-level audio devices or non M&S authorized equipment to the system.

✔

DO NOT power up Master Station until all stations are connected.

✔

DO NOT splice or repair cables damaged during wire pulling, install a new cable.

✔

DO NOT coil or bundle the cables. This can cause electronic feedback.

✔

DO NOT over-tighten the screws for the intercom Master

Station to prevent cracking.

✔

DO NOT install any station inside the 120 VAC transformer enclosure.

✔

DO NOT tie cables to electrical conduits or lay cables on electrical fixtures. Keep cables at least 16” away from fluorescent lights, HID light fixtures, or dimmers.

✔

DO NOT allow the cable to be sharply bent or kinked at any time.

✔

DO NOT install cables “taut” anywhere. Good installation should have cables loose, but never sagging.

✔

DO NOT run signal and power cables parallel without adequate separation to minimize interference.

✔

DO NOT exert more than 25 pounds of tension on 4-pair cables.

✔

DO NOT step on Cat-5 cable during installation.

✔

DO NOT overtighten the cable ties, apply cable ties loosely, with random spacing.

✔

DO NOT untwist the wire pairs in Cat-5 cable more than necessary to avoid crosstalk.

Remote Door Strike/Opening the Door

Optional Equipment:

Linear DRW, DRW power supply (Linear RT11 or RT35) and 12V 2 to 5 Amp relay*.

Feature Description:

When the doorbell is pressed and the call is answered, the answering party can remotely activate the door strike to allow the door to open. The door strike will stay active for 4 seconds and can be re-activated as many times as needed while the communication channel from the door to the station is active. The communication channel will remain active for 20 seconds after the Door button is released.

Installation Instructions:

1. From the Door Station, connect the Blue wire (or LOCK OP COM+ at the Master Unit) to one of the Coil posts on the relay.

2. From the Door Station, connect the White wire (or LOCK OP LKx, where x is 1,2 or 3 corresponding to the door number the strike it to activate, at the Master Unit) to the other Coil post on the relay.

3. From the RT11 or RT35, connect one wire to the Normally Closed post on the Relay.

4. From the RT11 or RT35, connect the other wire to one of the wires on the DRW door strike.

5. From the Relay, connect a wire from the Common post to the remaining wire on the DRW Door Strike.

VMC1 Configuration Instructions: No additional setup required.

Note that this function will only operate from a Room station or the master after that station has responded to a door chime.

This eliminates the possibility of accidentally activating a door strike from a station.

Advanced Installation Options

Large / Multi Room Installations

From 8 to 16 Room Stations

Optional Equipment:

Linear H628 (8 Room Station connections)

Feature Description:

When installing a large system with multiple Room stations, use the H628 data hub to simplify the wiring and ensure proper operation of the intercom.

NOTE: With long wire runs there may be insufficient voltage to effectively operate the system.

Do Not exceed the recommended wire lengths as outlined in the Installation Manual. These wire lengths should also include the feed wire lengths from step 1 below.

Installation Instructions:

1. Punch down a single CAT5 cable across 8 of the 110 punch down connectors on the H628 following the color codes on the H628 starting with Blue, Blue/White, Orange, Orange/White until all 8 wires are done.

To insure proper operation, the length of this wire should be kept at a minimum

2. Punch down a second CAT5 cable across the remaining 8 of the 110 punch down connectors on the

H628 following the color codes on the H628 starting with Blue, Blue/White, Orange, Orange/White until all

8 wires are done

3. Terminate all of the CAT5 cables from the Room station to an RJ-45 connector utilizing the standard

CAT5e 568A configuration. (Green/White, Green, Orange/ White, Blue, Blue/White, Orange, Brown/

White, Brown.)

NOTE: If pre-terminated cables are used, confirm that they are CAT5 568A for telephony applications.

If they are 568B, switch the H628 punch down swapping the Green for Orange and Green/White for Orange/White. This makes the H628 ports compatible with the 568B standard. Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriated labeled ports on the H628 Connect the un-terminated CAT5 cables to the Room stations as per the standard Installation Instructions
