INSTALLATION
Mounting
The VL580-IC message display should be
mounted with appropriate hardware (not
included) for the structure to which it is
attached. All building codes and requirements
must be followed. It is recommended to attach
the mounting base into wall studs. A vial level is
included to assist with leveling the mounting
base. (Figure 2)
CONNECTIONS
Network Connection / Power
The VL580-IC has one RJ-45 network
connector. Connect a standard patch cable to
the VL580-IC from an Ethernet switch
supporting the Power over Ethernet
specification 802.3at (PoE+).
If a PoE+ switch is not available, a mid-span
injector may be used to supply power to the
display, or an optional Valcom 24 Vdc power
adapter may be connected to the barrel
connector on the circuit board (see Figure 1).
If using external power, the recommended
power supply is a VP-2124D.
Figure 1. Network Connections
Relay Connection
One relay output is provided through three
screw terminals labeled Normally Open (NO)
and Normally Closed (NC). The center screw
terminal is common to both NO and NC. The
relay contacts are rated 1 amp @ 24Vdc.
Status / Demo / Reset
A multifunction button is provided to display
information and/or reset the VL580-IC
configuration. The button is located on the edge
of the circuit board as shown in Figure 2. The
button provides different functions depending on
the duration the button is pressed.
Status Mode
Press the button for approximately 1 second
and release and the Status display will show the
current IP Address, Power Source status and
the last four digits of the MAC address.
Demo Mode
While the VL580-IC is in Status Mode, pressing
the button again will enable Demo Mode. In this
mode, the VL580-IC will display a scrolling
sample message. Demo Mode will display for
about 30 seconds then the VL580-IC returns to
