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.

INSTALLATION

Operation:

Provides talkback intercom via Network

connection to customer telephone system or

stand alone telephone set. Interface to customer

telephone system can be via SIP registration,

FXO port or FXS port (additional equipment

required in all cases). The optional call button

may be programmed to initiate a call to one of the

above telephone system interfaces. When the

call is answered, a hands-free communications

path is established to the horn.

Mounting (Network Interface)

The VIP-148L Network Interface is designed for

wall or table mounting and must be within 100

meters of the network switch.

Mounting (Horn)

The VIP-148L Horn is designed for most FD

electrical box or wall mounting and must be within

300 meters of the VIP-148L 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.

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

position adjustment knob (See Figures 1 and 2)

at the bottom of the unit approximately one turn.

Make required adjustments, retighten knob.
