VA-4030(e) and 2060(e) Setup and Installation
Setup and Use
The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for configuration of the VA-4030(e) and VA-2060(e)
Amplifiers. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For
more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Help File.
Installation
The unit requires one 3.5 inch (88.9mm) high and 19 inch (483mm) wide rack space with 17.5 inch
(444mm) depth. Mounting the unit using four screws with washers will prevent marring of the front panel.
PVC or nylon washers are appropriate.
Install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in rooms with adequate
ventilation. Ensure that air can circulate freely behind, beside, and above the unit. Do not exceed the
maximum ambient operating temperature of 18°-108° F (-8° - 42°C). Be aware of conditions in an
enclosed rack that may cause the temperature to exceed ambient room conditions.

VA-4030(e) and 2060(e) Front
System Indicators
The LED indicators on the front panel of the amplifier provide information and operational status of the
amplifier and its associated output channels. LED layout and features vary between amplifier models.
LED’s are grouped to show chassis status indication and amplifier channel status indication.
Amplifier Chassis Indicators
These indicators relate to the entire amplifier unit (chassis).
AC Power
AC power is a green LED indicator. This will illuminate when a Mains supply is applied to the unit.
DC Power
DC Power is a green LED indicator. This illuminates when an auxiliary DC supply is applied to the unit via
either or both Auxiliary power inputs.
CAUTION
Refer to the caution in the Rear Panel Auxiliary Power section
Amp Fault
An amber LED illuminates when a chassis fault has occurred.
•Flashing Amber LED - Warning -the amplifier chassis is not operating within normal limits. If the
condition causing the warning is not corrected, chassis failure may occur.
•Solid Amber LED – Fault - the amplifier chassis has failed - audio may have stopped.
Activity
Activity indicates the configuration status of the Amplifier.
•LED off -the unit is not active.
•Green LED - the unit is configured.
•Flashing Amber LED – the unit is active but has no configuration.
•Amber LED - the unit is configured as a redundant device in a failover configuration.
•Red LED - indicates a configuration load failure.
Status
Status indicates the health of the amplifier hardware.
•Green LED - indicates that the unit powered up normally.
•Amber Flashing LED - shown briefly during the power-up self test.
•Red LED - the unit experienced a problem during the power-on self test.

Amp Channel Indicators
These indicators relate to each amplifier channel.
Amp Fault
The Amp Fault illuminates when a channel fault has occurred.
•Amber - the amplifier channel has a fault and audio may have stopped.
•Flashing Amber - the amplifier channel is not performing within normal specification.
Activity
The Activity LED will illuminate when the channel is configured.
•Green LED -configured and actively passing audio.
•Amber LED - channel is acting as a standby channel for failover applications.
•Amber flashing LED - the amplifier channel has failed and audio may have stopped.
Signal
The Signal LED will illuminate when the amplifier output channel is configured and passing audio.
•Green LED - passing audio within operational limits.
•Amber LED - channel is acting as a standby channel for failover applications.
Analog Input (VA-2060e and VA-4030e models only)
Indicates audio signal presence on the amplifier analog input channel.

VA-4030(e) and 2060(e) Rear
Conventions
All numbered audio, relay and power connectors on the rear panel of the amplifier are configured with the
lowest output or input on the right of the connector as viewed from the rear of the unit.
AC Power Socket
Provides for connection of the appropriate power cord. Each amplifier uses a switch mode power supply
that has an operating voltage of 100-240V at 50/60 Hz. (5.5 to 2.3 Amps)
