V-PS-2
60W Power Supply

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Russound V-PS-2 power supply. It’s designed to provide crisp, audio-quality power for up to two Russound V-KP-1
amplied touchpads with Alexa Built-in™. Note: All wiring connections must be made with the system powered o and the V-PS-2 power cord
disconnected from the electrical mains (unplugged from the wall outlet).
Installation of the power supply may be done locally in the
same room as a V-KP-1 or may be run to a central wiring
location using CL-2 rated cable from the room where the
V-KP-1 is installed. The V-PS-2 can be put on a shelf and is
also wall-mountable if desired.
Replacing An Existing Audio System
The majority of existing installed audio systems utilize a “home
run” of speaker wires from some central location to a volume
control or keypad in each of the rooms of the home. If your
system uses this type of “home run” wiring, you can use the
existing wiring to carry the power from the V-PS-2 Power
Supply to the V-KP-1, making installation quick and easy.
The V-PS-2 includes important safety features such as over-
current, over-temperature and short-circuit protection and can
even indicate trouble in an existing wiring conguration which
is especially critical when utilizing existing wiring in a home to
ensure a proper electrical connection.
Examples of common wiring congurations in
existing installations.
The following diagrams show (A) a common wiring scheme
for a keypad based audio system that uses Cat5 wiring from a
central location to each room and then speaker wire from the
keypad to the room’s speakers and (B) a standard “homerun”
wiring system that uses speaker wire from the central location
to each room’s volume control and then additional speaker
wire from the volume control to the room’s speakers. Both of
these wiring congurations can be re-utilized with the V-PS-2
when powering your V-KP-1 touchpads.

New Installation
For a new installation, the location of the V-PS-2 power supply will be
based on the wiring being done in the room and around the home at any
other rooms. Depending on the wiring that will be done in the home, it
might be best to locate your power supplies in a central wiring location
for the entire home, or in a central location for each oor or section of a
home, or in a wiring closet near adjacent rooms, etc.
Wiring
Be sure to observe proper polarity. The positive and negative terminals
on the V-KP-1 must correspond with the positive and negative terminals
on the V-PS-2.
The connection between the V-PS-2 and the V-KP-1 can be made using
multiple wire types. If running the wire inside any walls, use CL-2 rated
wire or other wiring as required to meet any local building codes.
New Wiring or Replacing a Speaker Wire-based System
Follow these instructions when using new wiring or if you are re-using
any existing speaker wiring to connect the V-PS-2 with the V-KP-1. For
new installations, we recommend using 18/2 stranded cable as it is
inexpensive and readily available. If re-using existing speaker wiring,
this is usually either 18/2 or 16/2 and either can be used.
With the V-PS-2 disconnected from electrical power, strip ¼” (about
6mm) from each of the two wiring conductors and insert them into
the removable screw-down terminal on the V-PS-2, making sure to
match the proper polarity of each connection. Tighten the screw-down
connections securely and make sure that there are no exposed strands
that might cause a short-circuit.
Replacing a Cat5 Wire-Based System
If using an existing Cat5 wire to connect the V-PS-2 to the V-KP-1, use
a wire stripper to take o as much of the outer insulation sleeve as you
need to fan out the wires. Untwist about 2 inches (5 cm) of each of the
conductor pairs. Then strip 3/8” (about 1 cm) from each of the individual
conductors. You are going to twist together 2 sets of 4 conductors
to make the Cat5 wire into a 2-conductor wire. To make things easy
to remember, we recommend twisting all of the striped conductors
together to serve as your negative wire and twisting all of the solid
colored conductors together to serve as your positive wire.

Powering On
Once the connections have been made, connect the V-PS-2 power
supply to the electrical mains to power up the system. You will see a
green light on the front of the V-PS-2 when it is plugged in.
Troubleshooting
The Fault LEDs on the front of the V-PS-2 are designed to help
troubleshoot any possible wiring problems which is especially useful
when re-using existing wiring. If either Fault LED illuminates red,
it indicates that there is a short-circuit somewhere in that wiring
connection. Power down the V-PS-2 and check that wiring to nd and
resolve the issue and then re-connect all wiring and power up the V-PS-
2 when the wiring issue has been resolved. The Fault LEDs should both
illuminate green when everything is connected properly.
Insert the new wires into the removable screw-down terminal on the V-PS-2, making
sure to match the proper polarity of each connection. Tighten the screw-down
connections securely and make sure that there are no exposed strands that might
cause a short-circuit.

Changes or modications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct
the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit dierent from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie
Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal
(ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de
brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son
gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.
MPE Reminding
To satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements, a
separation distance of 20 cm or more should be
maintained between the antenna of this device
and persons during device operation.To ensure
compliance, operations at closer than this distance is
not recommended.

Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced
hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to suciently intense noise for a sucient time. The U.S.
Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specied the following permissible noise level
exposures:
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Earplugs or protectors
in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplication system in order to prevent a permanent
hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure
levels, such as this amplication system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
