Louroe ASK-4 350 User manual

Ask-4® #350 is a single zone audio monitoring system for direct connection to an PoE complaint IP camera or Video
Server. This kit comes with a UL listed IF-PX which is a POE inline interface and a Verifact A Microphone. The IF-PX
extracts power from an Ethernet line to supply power to remote microphones, Speaker/Microphones or other 12V
devices. It has a terminal block to connect to the microphones (one-way audio) and speaker/microphones (two-way
audio). The 3.5mm stereo audio output and input jacks are for direct connection to the audio inputs and outputs of an IP
Camera. This unit also offers volume control for the audio output. Supports both Mode A and Mode B power options of
IEEE802.3af
The Verifact A is an omni-directional, low impedance, electret condenser microphone with built-in preamp for producing
line level audio. It is housed in a high impact ABS dome designed for ceiling or wall mounting. Normal pick-up pattern is
approximately 15’ from the microphone location, all direction or within 30’ diameter circle

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not connect non-PoE complaint devices to Power+Data Output Jack . Failure to do so may damage the
powered equipment.
Plan ahead where to install before making any connections.The IF-PX is designed to operate within 6’ of the camera so
the audio cables supplied can be connected between the IF-PX and camera. The maximum distance between the IP
camera and PSE is 100m or 328’.
2. Do not connect wiring from external microphone to the Mic/Speaker Audio Terminal Block until all the
ethernet cables (RJ45) are connected and power is present to the camera. Failure to do so in sequence, the
camera may not receive power.

CONNECTING PoE SWITCH TO PoE IP CAMERA OR ENCODER (See Fig. 3)
1. Connect Ethernet cable from PSE (Power Source Equipment) to the Power+Data Input Jack of the IF-PX.
2. Connect Ethernet cable from camera to Power+Data Output Jack of the IF-PX. Camera should now have power
and data running through it. Power Indicator lights up.
3. Microphone Connection :
a) Connect a 2 cond. shielded cable to the terminal block of Louroe’s Verifact A microphone. Connect the other end to
the pluggable header (Mic/Speaker Audio Terminal Block ) of the IF-PX. Connect terminal A of microphone to
terminal A of IF-PX; terminal B of microphone to terminal B of IF-PX; terminal C of microphone to terminal C of IF-
PX. Terminal SP of IF-PX is not used when connecting microphone only (one-way listen).
b) Using the patch cable (stereo plug to stereo plug), connect the Audio Output Jack of the IF-PX to the audio input
of the camera.
c) Adjust the Mic Out Adjust potentiometer (as needed) by rotating it clockwise to increase the microphone output to
the camera, or counterclockwise to decrease. This potentiometer is factory set for a gain of 0dB output.
(one-way listen)
See
interconnection diagram(Fig 3) on page 5.
4. Setup camera for video and audio monitoring. Use an amplified speaker on the computer to test the audio coming
from the microphone. See camera user manual for setting up the camera to the network.
CONNECTIONS AND OPERATIONS
The IF-PX can share PoE power with most Class 2 IP cameras and Encoders, check that the power requirements
of the equipment does not go beyond the IF-PX power output. See IF-PX power output below.
12Vdc, 850mA with a Louroe microphone connected (no camera sharing power with IF-PX)
12Vdc, approx. 400mA when sharing power with a typical class 2 IP camera.
CONNECTING PoE SWITCH TO NON-PoE IP CAMERA OR ENCODER (See Fig 4)
1. Connect Ethernet cable from PSE (Power Source Equipment) to the Power+Data Input Jack of the IF-PX.
2. Connect Ethernet cable from Non-PoE Encoder or camera to Data Out Only Jack of the IF-PX.

3. Connect 2 wires to the DC Out Terminal Block . At least 20 AWG wires should be used between the IF-PX and the
encoder or camera. Positive 12Vdc connects to terminal marked “+12Vdc” of IF-PX. Negative 12Vdc or ground
connects to terminal marked “GND” of IF-PX. Connect the other end of these 2 wires to the power jack or terminal
block of the encoder or camera. If the encoder or camera has a 2.1mm power jack, an adapter (2-pin terminal block to
2.1mm male plug) can be used. Connect the wires to the 2-pin terminal block (observe polarity) of the adapter. Plug
the adapter to the 2.1mm power jack of the encoder or camera.
4. Repeat same procedure when connecting Louroe Verifact microphone to camera or encoder (steps 3 and 4 of -
Microphone Connections).

CONNECTING NON-PoE SWITCH TO NON-PoE CAMERA OR ENCODER (See Fig. 5)
1. Connect Ethernet cable from Non-PoE Switch to the Power+Data Input Jack of the IF-PX.
2. Connect Ethernet cable from a Non-PoE Encoder or Camera to Data Out Only Jack of the IF-PX.
3. Connect DC Out Terminal Block to the power input jack of the encoder or camera. This Terminal block supplies
12Vdc power to the camera or encoder. It can also provide power to other external equipment such relays, etc. that
require a 12Vdc power. Connect 2 wires to the DC Out Terminal Block . At least 20 AWG wires can be use between
the IF-PX and the encoder or camera. Positive 12Vdc connects to terminal marked “+12Vdc” of IF-PX. Negative 12Vdc
or ground connects to terminal marked “GND”of IF-PX. Connect the other end of the 2 wires to the power jack or
terminal block of the encoder or camera. If the encoder or camera has a 2.1mm power jack, an adapter (2-pin terminal
block to 2.1mm male plug) can be used. Connect the wires to the 2-pin terminal block (observe polarity) of the
adapter. Plug the adapter to the 2.1mm power jack of the encoder or camera.
4. Connect an external power supply (not included) to the DC In Jack to power the IF-PX and the encoder or camera.
We recommend using a 12Vdc, 2A power supply.
5. Repeat same procedure when connecting Louroe Verifact microphone (steps 3 and 4 of Microphone Connections).
