Precautionary Designations
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.
INSTALLATION
Operation:
The VIP-9890A-EM provides talkback access via
network connection to customer telephone
system or stand alone telephone set. Interface to
customer telephone system can be via SIP
registration to a Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone
system, FXO port (when used with a Valcom FXS
Network Station Port), or FXS port (where used
with a Valcom FXO Network Trunk Port).
Pressing the call button on the speaker assembly
initiates a call to a user-specified telephone
number, and the call assurance LED behind the
intercom unit face plate begins to flash. When
the call is answered, a hands-free
communications path is established to the
speaker, and the call assurance LED behind the
face plate remains lit. The form C relay included
with the VIP-9890A-EM may be activated by
pressing the # key on the answering telephone,
with the relay typically being used to activate door
entry equipment.
Mounting
For enhanced protection against static
electrical discharge, it is recommended
the VIP-9890A-EM Speaker Enclosure
be installed onto a grounded electrical box, If
surface mounted, ground box to local ground.
The VIP-9890A-EM speaker enclosure is
designed for double gang FD electrical box
mounting and must be within 100 meters of the
network switch.
Remove the speaker assembly from the packing
container. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove
the two screws securing the front grille to the
enclosure. Unplug the patch cable connecting
the speaker to the network board Signal Output
RJ-45 jack to allow removal of grille/speaker
assembly. Pre-drilled 13/64” mounting holes in
the back of the enclosure are designed to fit a
single gang, double gang or octagon outlet box.
If not attaching to an outlet box, use the
enclosure as a template. Hold the enclosure in
the desired position on the wall and mark the
location of mounting holes. Depending on wall
construction type, prepare the mounting hole
locations on the wall to securely attach the
enclosure.
Wiring may be inserted through the large hole in
the back of the enclosure, or through the
knockout hole in the top of the enclosure. Insert
wiring for network connections and relay
connections (if used) through desired hole. Use
mounting hardware (not included) appropriate for
the wall type to securely mount the enclosure to
the wall.
After making all connections, align the
grille/speaker assembly with the enclosure.
Install the four supplied tamper-resistant screws
through the grille into the enclosure. Use a 1/8”
security hex bit to tighten the screws securely.
Power Connections
The only method of powering a VIP-9890A-EM is
via a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or power
injector meeting the 802.3af specification.
Make all required connections before connecting
to Ethernet switch or power injector meeting the
802.3af specification.
