VE8048/VE8048R

IP Input/Output Module

INTRODUCTION

The VE8048/VE8048R IP Input/Output Module

allows operation of eight (8) contact closures

which are software programmable as either

Form A or form B. Eight (8) contact closure

activated inputs provide for various programmable

relay functions. The VE8048/VE8048R allows

initiation of VE6001 server events over an IP-

based LAN/WAN. Multiple VE8048/VE8048R

may be deployed on the same network. The

VE8048 is designed for wall or table placement.

The VE8048R is designed for 19” mounting (1U).

INSTALLATION

FCC Information

This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful

interference when the equipment is operated

in a commercial environment. This equipment

generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and if not installed and used

in accordance with the instruction manual,

may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment

in a residential area may cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference at his own

expense.

Precautionary Designations

Mounting

The VE8048 is designed for wall or table

mounting. The VE8048R is designed for 19” rack

mounting (1U).

Table: Provided with the VE8048 are four rubber

pads. Peel pads off their carrier backing and

place at the four corners of the bottom of the unit.

Wall: Secure mounting brackets with screws

provided to the VE8011, then secure the VE8048

to the wall. See Figure 1.

Rack: Secure mounting brackets with screws

provided to the VE8048R. See Figure 1. Place

the VE8048R into a standard 19” rack and secure

to rack with proper hardware (not included).

Figure 1.

Power Connections

The preferred method of powering a

VE8048/VE8048R is via a Power over Ethernet

(PoE) switch meeting the 802.3af specification.

If the rear panel barrel connector is used for

power, the preferred power supply is a Valcom

VIP-324.

Make all required signal connections before

applying power to the unit. If powering via 802.3af,

make sure all signal connections via the rear

panel are made then connect the

VE8048/VE8048R to the Ethernet switch.

If power is provided via the barrel connector,

make sure all signal connections are secure.

Attach the unit to the network via the front panel

RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Apply power by

plugging the power supply in to the

VE8048/VE8048R via the barrel connector on the

rear of the VE8048/VE8048R.

Network Connection

The VE8048/VE8048R has one CAT-5 RJ-45

network connector on the front panel.

Use the supplied CAT-5 patch cable to connect

the VE8048/VE8048R to an Ethernet switch. If

the Ethernet switch is 802.3af compliant the

VE8048/VE8048R will draw power from it.

Signal Connections

The VE8048/VE8048R has 16 signal connectors

on the rear panel:

8 Contact Closure Inputs

8 Relay Contacts that are programmable as

Form A or Form B
