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
Mounting
For enhanced protection against static
electrical discharge, it is recommended the
VIP-9815A-IC be installed onto a grounded
electrical box. If surface mounted, ground
the box to local ground.
The VIP-9815A-IC 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 screws securing the front grille to the
speaker housing. Remove the screws holding
the mounting bracket from the back of the
speaker housing. Pre-drilled 13/64” mounting
holes in the mounting bracket are designed to fit
a single gang, double gang or octagon outlet
box. If not attaching to an outlet box, use the
mounting bracket as a template. Hold the
mounting bracket 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 mounting bracket.
(See Figure 1)
Before installing the speaker housing to the
mounting bracket, route the Ethernet patch cable
from the network switch to the speaker through
the large hole in the back of the mounting
bracket, then through the slot behind the
speaker in the speaker housing.
Align the speaker housing assembly with the
mounting bracket and secure with four screws
into the mounting bracket. Insert the RJ45
connector from the Ethernet patch cable into the
RJ45 jack on the circuit board. After making the
network connection, align the front grille with the
speaker housing and secure with 8 screws.
