IP Paging Horn
INTRODUCTION
The VIP-130AL consists of a high efficiency horn
and a Network Interface compatible with
Singlewire InformaCast broadcasts.
The VIP-130AL is available in three colors,
Beige (-BGE), Gray (-GY) and Marine White
(-W).
The Marine version features additional weather
protection, including an O-ring seal on the bell
housing and stainless steel hardware.
Installation
Mounting (Network Interface)
The Network Interface is designed for wall or
shelf mounting and must be within 300 feet of
the network switch.
Shelf: Provided with the Network Interface are
four rubber pads. Peel the pads from the carrier
backing and place at the four corners of the
bottom of the unit.
Wall: Using the brackets and wood screws
provided, secure the Network Interface to the
wall.
Mounting (Horn)
The VIP-130AL-IC Horn is designed for most FD
electrical box or wall mounting and must be
within 350 feet of the VIP-130AL Network
Interface. See NEMA OS 3-2002 sec.1.2.3.5 for
FD box specifications.
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
These horns should be mounted 15 to 20 feet
above the floor to allow for best sound
distribution. The units can be mounted to a wall,
a beam or an electrical box.
A “C” clamp is provided with the horns to
allow mounting to a beam. When using the
“C” clamp for mounting, remove the signal
cable from the ball mount. Reinstall an
RJ45 connector on the signal cable after
mounting, using the T568B pinout scheme.
