INSTALLATION

Mounting

The VL530-IC message display must be mounted

with appropriate hardware (not included).

It is recommended to secure the mounting brackets

to wall studs or other appropriate support. If

necessary, the spacing of the mounting brackets on

the back of the message display may be adjusted to

match stud spacing. Loosen the nuts that attach

the brackets to the display panel. Slide the

mounting bracket to the desired position and

retighten the nuts.

Remove the angle adjustment screws and nuts

from the mounting bracket to gain access to the

"keyhole" slots. (Figure 1)

Mark the mounting holes on the wall and install

appropriate hardware. For stud walls, a minimum

#10 x 2" screw is recommended. (Figure 2)

Reinstall the angle adjustment screws and nuts

previously removed.

Hang the message display by the "keyhole" slots.

(Figure 2)

Secure the message display brackets to the wall

with another screw at the top of each mounting

bracket. (Figure 3)

Network Connection / Power

The VL530-IC has one RJ-45 network connector on

the rear panel. Connect a standard patch cable to

the VL530-IC from an Ethernet switch supporting

the Power over Ethernet Plus specification 802.3at

(PoE+). If a PoE+ switch is not available, a mid-

span injector may be used to supply power to the

display.

Setup

The VL530-IC will automatically acquire an IP

address (using DHCP) and connect to the

InformaCast server when connected to the network

and powered up. Information specific to your

application will need to be programmed into the

InformaCast server. Refer to the InformaCast

documentation for further information.
