1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TOA VX-2000 Series broadcast system is designed for both general and emergency purpose broadcasts.
It is comprised of the System Manager, Surveillance Frame, Power Amplifiers, Power Supply unit, Emergency
Power Supply, and a user-specified number of Remote Microphones. The system complies with the EN60849
Standard and its failure detection circuitry operates continuously to check components and speaker lines for
any irregularities. If detected, failure warnings are provided by way of an LED indicator and a buzzer.

• TheVX-2000features4differentchimesoundsources.
Standard-Equipment Control Input and Output
The VX-2000 features 16 control inputs and 16 control outputs as standard equipment.
Expansion to Up to 80 Output Zones*
The VX-2000SF Surveillance Frame can be expanded to up to 8 units, increasing the number of available
output zones to up to 80 zones.
* Available when the label on each packing box of the VX-2000 system components (VX-2000, VX-2000SF,
RM-200X, and RM-200XF) indicates "EN80," and the Setting Software Version is 3.0 or later.
Control Input and Output Modules, and 2 Types of Speaker Output Modules
• TheVX-2000SFisdesignedtoacceptupto10modules.Thecontrolinputmodule,controloutputmodule,
and 2 types of speaker output modules are available.
• Speaker output modules feature failure-detection circuitry. Two failure detection methods are provided:
impedance checking and pilot signal monitoring. Such failure modes as speaker line shorts, open circuits
and ground faults can be detected.
• Withtheadditionofextracontrolinputmodulesandcontroloutputmodules,thenumberofcontrolinputsand
outputs can be expanded to up to a total of 128 terminals within the system. (16 terminals are included as
standard equipment in the VX-2000.)
9-Band Graphic Equaliser Card
Provides 9 bands of computer-adjustable graphic equalisation to the system's speaker output module.
Standby Amplifier Function
A standby amplifier can be installed for each VX-2000SF to automatically provide substitute amplifier output
should the main power amplifier fail.
CPU Switch
Enables broadcast from the RM-200XF Fireman's Microphones to all output zones even if the system's main
CPU fails.
Individual Block Failure Detection Circuitry
• ThisfailuredetectionfunctionmonitorscableconnectionsbetweentheRemoteMicrophonesandtheVX-
2000, between the VX-2000 and the VX-2000SF, between the VX-2000SF and the VP power amplifiers, and
between the VP power amplifiers and the speakers.

• ThefailureindicationfunctioncanbeassignedtotheRemoteMicrophone.Whenassigned,theLEDsflash
and a buzzer is sounded if a failure is detected.
Monitoring Function
The sound output of a selected output zone can be monitored using the Remote Microphone's internal speaker
or the VX-2000's monitor output.
Time Schedule Function
• Aweeklyschedulecanbeprogrammed.

switch.
Energy Saving Mode
Battery consumption can be reduced by using the VP power amplifier's standby function (since the entire
system's power consumption is reduced by putting unnecessary power amplifiers in standby mode).
PC Setting Software
PC software is used to select input and output equipment, or set priorities, broadcast patterns, items to be
activated, etc. Various functions can also be freely assigned to the Remote Microphone' s function keys.
PC Software Provides Versatile Auxiliary Operation
• TheVX-2000'smemorycanlogupto2,000events,whichcanbereadintoaPC.

3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Donotinstalltheunitinlocationsexposedtothedirectsunlightorheaters,astheunitcouldbedeformedor
discoloured.
• Avoid installing or storing the unit in dusty or humid locations, as doing otherwise could cause the unit's
failure.
• Keepaunitasfarawayaspossiblefromafluorescentlamp,digitalequipment,PCorotherequipmentwhich
generate high frequency noise.
[VX-2000, VX-2000SF, VP-2000 series amplifiers, VX-2000DS, VX-2000PF]
• Theseunitsaredesignedexclusivelyforrackmountuse.If2ormoreunitsaremountedinanequipment
rack, space should be provided upper and lower side of the units for ventilation. The perforated panel is
recommended in place of space. For rack mounting, refer to p. 8-44.
[VX-2000, VX-2000SF, VP-2000 series amplifiers, VP-3000 series amplifiers]
• Topreventnoiseoscillation,keepinputandoutputcablesasfarawayfromeachotheraspossible.
[VX-2000, VX-2000SF, VP-2000 series amplifiers, VP-3000 series amplifiers VX-2000DS, VX-3000DS]
• Humnoisemaybegeneratedifgroundloopsarecreated.Thisnoisecanbeminimizedbyconnectingeach
component's rear panel ground terminal to earth.
[VP-2000 series amplifiers, VP-3000 series amplifiers]
• Avoidparallelamplifierconnections,whichcouldresultinamplifierfailure.
[VX-2000DS, VX-3000DS, VX-200PS]
• Eachunitisapermanentconnectedapparatushavingnopoweron/offswitchonitself.Itspowercordshould
be connected to the AC power outlet of the junction panel, so that you can control the power on/off for each
unit. For the power line of the rack system, ALL-Pole Mains Switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm
in each pole should be incorporated in the electrical installation of the building.
[VX-200XR/200XI/200SZ/200SP/200SI/200SO, 900 modules]
• Becauseeachunitisnot"hot-pluggable,"thesystemneedstobeshutdownwhenitisinstalledorremoved.
For turning the system power off, refer to the Instruction Manual attached to the VX-2000DS or VX-3000DS.
[VP-2000 series amplifiers, VP-3000 series amplifiers, VX-2000DS, VX-3000DS]
• TheVP-2000seriesamplifierscanbeusedinconjunctionwiththeVX-2000DSorVX-3000DSwhiletheVP-
