VS4820 Demo System – Quick Start Guide
System Setup
1. Connect the unit to power and the microphone to the handset port. Connect the antenna with the
magnetic base to the RF-OUT port on the back of the unit. Place the antenna vertically on an elevated
surface at least 5 feet away from the VS4820. If you have intercoms or wireless CT buttons, you’ll have
a smaller antenna connected to the RF-IN port.
2. If you have a VS101 external transmitter, connect it to the VS4820 with the provided data cable to the
EXT TX port and connect the VS101 to power. The antenna will then plug into the RF-OUT port on the
back of the transmitter. If you’re using the magnetic mount antenna, use the provided adapter to fit
on the RF-OUT port. If you have intercoms, a receive antenna will be used as well and will connect to
the back of the VS101 on the Rx Port. Antennas should be located towards the center of the building
on the roof or top floor for best coverage and separated from the base station and transmitter by at
least 5-10 feet.
Wireless Device Activation
The VS4820 wireless paging base station uses events to activate speakers, strobe lights, message boards,
intercoms, pagers and more. You can select from the list of events already programmed into the base station
by pressing F1, or enter them manually on the keyboard from the main menu screen.
Events can be triggered by multiple sources, including wireless CT Panic Buttons and dry contact alarm inputs.
