The FCC Registration Number, BAF9I7-69358-KX-
N, will be listed in the affidavits filed with the
telephone company; it will also be recorded in the
system log kept by installation and maintenance
personnel. The local telephone company is to be
notified of the FCC Registration Number when this
Paging Unit is installed.
DESIGN
These horns are designed for marine use and can be
used for interior or exterior paging applications.
They are enclosed in a white, no fade, high impact,
sealed plastic housing. They are fully adjustable 360
degrees horizontal and 90 degrees vertical. They are
supplied with stainless steel hardware and a beam
mount clamp.

CONNECTIONS FOR THE
V-1030M/V-1036M
The V-1030M and V-1036M are Paging Horn/
Amplifier Assemblies. The V-1030M is a self-
contained 5 Watt paging system with a 5 Watt
amplifier; the V-1036M is a self-contained 15 Watt
paging system with a 15 Watt amplifier. Both units
incorporate a high efficiency horn with a volume
control.

Applications of the V-1030M and
V-1036M
Use with Valcom page control
Expanding the capability of telephone systems
which contain limited paging capabilities
Loud ringer application in systems where
loud-speaker tone signaling is employed.
V-1030M - Nominal Specifications
Input Impedance: 600 Ohm nominal
Input level: -15dBm to +10dBm
Current at -24VDC: 300mA
V-1036M - Nominal Specifications
Input Impedance: 600 Ohm nominal
Input level: -15dBm to +10dBm
Current at -24VDC: 900mA
Horn Spacing for the
V-1030M/V-1036M
(coverage shown in parenthesis)
Example: In a quiet environment, V-1030M 5 Watt
horns would be spaced 110 feet apart side to side and
would provide good quality sound 110 feet in front of
each horn approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of coverage.
Definitions:
Quiet: 50-65dB. This would include stock areas,
etc.
Moderate: 65-80dB. This includes areas such as
warehouses, shipping areas or light manufacturing.
Noisy: 80-90dB. This includes machine shops or
heavy manufacturing.
Very Noisy: Greater than 90dB. This would include
any areas where talking to another person is very
difficult. Workers may be required to wear earplugs.
Audio Wire Runs (V-1030M/V-1036M)
When a remote power unit is used, the audio pair run
should be limited to 5000 feet and a maximum of 4
horns when using 24AWG wire. A V-1094A may be
added to increase the number of horns and/or
distance. Twisted pair wire (standard telephone wire)
should be used for connections.
Power Wire Run (V-1030M/V-1036M)
For good quality sound, the distance recommended
between the power supply and horns should be
adhered to.

CONNECTIONS FOR THE
V-1048M
Application
The V-1048M talkback horn is designed to be used
with "handsfree" talkback control units. In
combination with these units, the speaker provides
both loudspeaker and talkback functions.
A standard talkback paging system is comprised of
three basic components:
1. Talkback page control unit
2. Speakers
3. Power Supply

Consult your Valcom distributor for assistance in
selecting a control unit and power supply.
Nominal Specifications for the
V-1048M
Input Impedance: 45 Ohm
Limitations of the V-1048M
Two talkback speakers maximum per zone.
800 feet maximum cable length to speaker
NOTE: Do not split pairs to speakers.
Do not use talkback in noisy areas (80dB or
greater).
Coverage of the V-1048M
The distance you can be away from a speaker and
still have good talkback depends on the type of
speaker and ambient noise level.
The speaker should be as close as possible to the area
where talkback is desired. It should not be mounted
close to, or pointed at, noise producing equipment
such as fans, air conditioners, machinery, or
compressors.
The chart to the right shows maximum talkback
distances relative to the noise level of the
surroundings.
Remember: The speaker is no better than
your ears. If you can not carry on a
conversation at normal voice levels over the
required talkback distance, then talkback
page equipment will not function
satisfactorily.
Cabling for the V-1048M
Connections should be accomplished using regular
twisted pair wiring. Do not split pairs.
Connections for the V-1048M
Connect station or other suitable wire to leads as
follows:
MOUNTING OF HORN
(All Models)
Attaching Speaker to Base
NOTE: For ease of installation, the base can be
attached to the speaker before or after the base is
mounted.
Loosen position adjustment knob.
Insert the ball of the base into the socket of the
speaker.
Tighten the position adjustment knob.
Mounting
Mount the horn to a suitable surface using the
hardware provided. These units can be mounted to a
wall, a beam or an electrical box.
Mount the base to a wall using the two holes
provided. Knockout holes are provided for
punch out should additional holes be desired.
A "C" clamp is provided with the horns to allow
mounting to a beam. Place the bolt through the
hole in the bottom of the base to secure the "C"
clamp to the beam (See Figure 1). It is suggested
that the horn be mounted to the underside of the
"I" beam to provide maximum positioning
adjustments.
Connection to an electrical backbox is
accomplished by channeling wire through the
ball of the base and making appropriate
connections. The base has holes punched for a
double-gang square box, but by punching out
additional knockout holes, the base can be
mounted to a single-gang or octagon box. (See
Figure 2).
The horns may be rotated or moved up and down to
obtain the desired position by loosening the knob at
the bottom of the unit (see both figures)
approximately 1 turn. Make required adjustments
and re-tighten knob.
