VOCIA AMPLIFIERS VA-2060, VA-2060e, VA-4030, VA-4030e

The VA-2060, VA-2060e, VA-4030 and VA-4030e are digital networked multi-channel audio ampliers designed for use in Vocia systems.
All models are CobraNet® enabled and feature either two or four channels of amplication, with on-board DSP. Channel-to-channel or
device-to-device failover may be user congured. Each amplier channel has user selectable support for 4 or 8Ω operation or Constant
Voltage operation of 25, 70 or 100 Volts. The on-board DSP provides comprehensive xed-chain digital signal processing within the device,
including volume control, ducking, equalization, compressor/limiting, speaker crossover, delay and output gain. Locally stored audio mes­sages are retained in non-volatile memory within the amplier. Intuitive software provides audio system design via PC computer. Two RJ45
connectors on the rear panel of the amplier provide redundant connectivity to control data and audio over a single Ethernet cable. The
VA-2060e and VA-4030e models have the ability to be powered via dual 24V connections in addition to the AC mains power supply, as well
as balanced mic/line inputs to be used as a local background input source for the output channel associated with the Input.

VOCIA AMPLIFIERS VA-2060, VA-2060e, VA-4030, VA-4030e FRONT PANEL

System Indicators

The LED indicators on the front panel of the amplier provide information and operational status of the amplier and its associated output
and input channels. LED layout and features vary between amplier models. LEDs are grouped to show chassis and amplier channel
status indication. Please see the Front Panel View section for details on the different congurations between the various amplier models.

Chassis Indicators

Amplier Chassis Indicators

These indicators relate to the entire amplier unit (chassis):

AC power is a green LED indicator. This will illuminate when a AC Mains supply is applied to the unit.

DC Power (VA-2060e and VA-4030e models only) is a green LED indicator. This illuminates when an auxiliary DC supply is applied to the
unit via either or both 24V Auxiliary power inputs.

Refer to the caution in the Rear Panel Auxiliary Power section.

Amp Fault is a yellow LED that illuminates when a chassis fault has occurred. There are two types of chassis faults that can be reported,
depending on the severity of the problem. Flashing yellow indicates a Warning, which means that some aspect of the amplier chassis is
not performing within normal specication. Audio may still be passing, but if the condition causing the Warning is not corrected, chassis
failure may occur. Solid yellow indicates a fault, which means that some aspect of the amplier chassis has failed and audio may no longer
be passing through the device. Use Vocia software to determine the specic type of chassis warning or fault that has occurred.

Activity is a tri-color LED that illuminates to show the conguration status of the device. If the LED is dark, the chassis has failed to
boot or there is some other kind of fault. A solid green LED indicates that the unit is congured. A ashing yellow LED indicates the unit is
active but not congured. A solid yellow LED indicates that the unit is congured and in standby. Standby only occurs when a unit has
been designated as a redundant device when Device Failover is enabled.

Status is a tri-color LED that indicates the health of the amplier hardware. A green LED indicates the unit powered up normally. A ashing
yellow LED is shown briey during the power-up self test and should turn solid green upon successful start. A red LED indicates the unit
experienced a problem during the power-up self test.

Channel Indicators

Amp Channel Indicators

These indicators relate to each amplier channel:

Amp Fault is a yellow LED that illuminates when a channel fault has occurred. Two types of channel faults can be reported depending on
the severity of the problem. Flashing yellow indicates a Warning, which means that some aspect of the amplier module is not performing
within normal specication. Audio may still be passing, but if the condition causing the Warning is not corrected, channel failure may occur.
Solid yellow indicates a fault, which means that some aspect of the amplier module has failed and audio is no longer passing on that
channel. Use Vocia software to determine the specic type of channel warning or fault that has occurred.

Activity is a two-color LED that illuminates green when that channel is congured and actively passing audio and yellow when that channel is
congured and in standby. Standby only occurs when a channel has been designated as redundant channel in a failover conguration.

Signal is a tri-color LED that indicates audio signal presence on the amplier channel. Green indicates the audio signal level is between

-36 dBFS and -6 dBFS, yellow indicates a signal level between -6dBFS and -2 dBFS and red indicates clipping (above -2dBFS).

Analog Input (VA-2060e and VA-4030e models only) is a tri-color LED that indicates audio signal presence on the amplier analog Input
channel. Green indicates the audio signal level is between -48 dBFS and -18 dBFS, yellow indicates a signal level between -18 dBFS and

-2 dBFS and red indicates clipping (above -2dBFS).

Conventions

All numbered audio, relay and power connectors on the rear panel of the amplier are congured with the lowest output or input on the
right of the connector as viewed from the rear of the unit.

AC Power Socket

Provides for connection of the appropriate power cord. Each amplier uses a switch mode power supply that has an operating voltage
of 100-240V at 50/60 Hz.

Auxiliary Power: Only available with VA-2060e and VA-4030e ampliers.

Caution: Due to potential energy hazard, connections to the Auxiliary Power 24V DC inputs must be

made by a qualied electrician or other qualied person as required to conform with all local codes.

This connection allows dual 24V DC power inputs to be used. Dual 24V DC supply capability allows the amplier to

meet standards that call for redundant power supplies. The DC supply must be wired into both power supply inputs,
either from redundant supplies or from a single supply wired in parallel to the two inputs. If 24V is not supplied to both inputs, a loss-of­supply fault will be reported. If a VA-4030e or VA-2060e amplier is required to operate without a 24V supply, the Auxiliary supply fault
monitoring must be disabled in Vocia software. A loss of supply fault is indicated via the Vocia software and by a blinking yellow Amp Fault
indicator on the front panel of the affected device. The power supplies used for the amplier must meet the voltage range and power re­quirements detailed in the specications table below. Local standards, norms or codes may require the use of certied power supplies and
may require observance of minimum on-battery running times both for standby and maximum power conditions. Note that dual redundant
power supplies must each independently meet the total power requirements of the amplier.

The pluggable terminal blocks provided will accommodate wire sizes from 12-18 AWG. External over-current protection must be provided,
according to the current carrying capacity of the connecting wires, and in no case greater than 30 Amps. Do not ground or connect to chassis
either the positive or negative Auxiliary Power connections. The Auxiliary power must be oating with respect to ground.

Network Connections

The amplier is a CobraNet device. A Primary and Secondary CobraNet connection is provided for this. All
CobraNet routing and bundle assignments are processed by the Vocia devices locally. Vocia makes dynamic use

of available bundles in CobraNet. A 100Base-T Ethernet switch (not repeater hub) is required when networking
multiple units. CobraNet utilizes standard CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7 cabling, which has a specied maximum length of 328 feet (100
meters). Additional Ethernet switches, or switches that provide ber-optic interface, can be used to extend the physical distance between
units within a network. Please note that CobraNet limits network extensions to seven hops (one-way transmissions) within a network. The
CobraNet network connection is congured with the primary connector on the left and the secondary (redundant) connector on the right.
The primary and secondary CobraNet ports are provided to facilitate connection redundancy. Each connector provides two LEDs that
indicate Ethernet link and network activity.

Flashing yellow Flashing green Link established and CobraNet activity detected; unit acting as a CobraNet conductor

Flashing yellow None CobraNet fault; check cabling and conguration for errors

Device ID switches

The rotary ID switches are located on the back of the amplier and give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in
hexadecimal format. All Vocia units of the same type must have a unique Device ID to function properly within a Vocia Paging
World (for instance, it is not possible to have two Vocia devices of the same type with the same Device ID of hex 07). Note that

VA-4030 and VA-4030e units represent one device type, while VA-2060 and VA-2060e units represent another device type.

As an example, to assign a Device ID of hex 07, leave the MSB switch on 0 and turn the LSB switch to 7. To create an ID of hex B7, turn
the MSB switch to B and turn the LSB switch to 7. Device ID switches should be set using a 0.1 inch (2.5mm) to 0.12 inch (3.0mm) at
blade screwdriver. More information on setting IDs and the hexadecimal numbering scheme used can be found in the Vocia Software
Help File.

Analog Audio Inputs with Phantom Power Option

For the VA-2060e and VA-4030e, each amplier channel has analog inputs that allow a local balanced
microphone or line level background source to be delivered to the amplier channel associated with
that input. Two such inputs are available on the VA-2060e amplier and four on the VA-4030e. Input

sensitivity and 48V phantom power on/off state may be determined in the Vocia software. Because a
local input may only be delivered to the channel associated with that input, if a local background source is required on two or more chan­nels the source must be wired in parallel to each of the inputs. An exception is that if two or more channels of an amplier are congured
in software as a group or multi-way, the lowest local input channel number will be presented to all channels. For instance, if a VA-4030 is
deployed with channels 2, 3 and 4 congured as a group or 3-way multi-way, local input 2 will be presented to outputs 2, 3 and 4.

Page Active Relay

Page Active Relays (PAR) are available on all ampliers. Via the Page Active Relay connectors, one Form C (single pole, changeover)
relay is presented per channel for the VA-4030 and VA-4030e. Similarly, two such relays per channel are presented for the VA-2060 and
VA-2060e (relays operate in tandem). Each PAR connector is a six-way 3.5mm pluggable screw terminal block. The PAR connections are
labeled as follows:

• C: Relay Common

• NC: Normally Closed

• NO: Normally Open

VOCIA AMPLIFIERS VA-2060, VA-2060e, VA-4030, VA-4030e REAR PANEL

Amplier Output Connections

CAUTION: All speaker wiring connections and output load selection should be made by qualied

personnel and with the amplier power removed. The 100V output requires Class 3 wiring.

Please refer to a qualied electrician or other qualied person according to local codes.

Transformer Load Selection

The required amplier output load is congured via the use of a recessed indented selector above the amplier speaker output connectors.
The switch is designed to be operated with a at blade screwdriver (blade width 0.1”- 0.25”/ 2.5mm - 6.4mm). Selection can be made between
4 or 8Ω for Low Impedance connections and 25V, 70V or 100V for Constant Voltage loads. By default, the amplier factory default setting
is 8Ω. Do not operate the amplier with no speaker load. If an amplier channel is unused (i.e., has no load) do not congure the channel in

Vocia software to pass audio.

Speaker Connection

To minimize power loss, use a speaker cable of appropriate gauge for the load impedance. For long speaker cables, to minimize high
frequency loss, choose a low capacitance cable. Use the supplied plug-in barrier strip connectors to connect loudspeaker level outputs. If
stranded speaker wire is used, be sure to incorporate all strands into the connector, as stray strands can short to the adjacent terminal or
chassis. Do not leave excessive bare wire outside the terminals, as this can lead to shorts. Use of the supplied cable restraints is required
to secure the cable in the connector. To facilitate parallel wiring, each connector allows for the connection of two loads to each amplier
channel. Two four-way connectors are available on the VA-2060 and VA-2060e amplier and four connectors are available on the VA-4030
and VA-4030e amplier.

Rated Load Table: The total output load connected to any channel must not be less than the rated impedance load for that channel,
as detailed below. Operating the amplier in excessive overload may cause power supply safety limiting.

4Ω Setting 8Ω Setting 25V Setting 70V Setting 100V Setting

VA-4030 and VA-4030e 4Ω 8Ω 20.8Ω 163.3Ω 333.3Ω

VA-2060 and VA-2060e 4Ω 8Ω 10.4Ω 81.7Ω 166.7Ω

Output Fault Detection

Vocia ampliers employ multiple out-of-band (inaudible), high frequency tones for fault detection. To prevent the possibility of interference
with these tones, recorded audio messages or audio content with continuous or swept tonal components (e.g., alert tones) should be band
limited at 15 kHz during recording. In addition, signal levels should be adjusted to minimize clipping, as severely clipped signals may also
affect these out-of-band fault detection tones.

9

VOCIA AMPLIFIERS VA-2060, VA-2060e, VA-4030, VA-4030e FAILOVER MODES

Failover Modes

The Vocia ampliers support a device-to-device or channel-to-channel failover mode. Only one type of failover mode can be implemented
per amplier.

Device-to-Device Failover

All ampliers support device-to-device amplier chassis failover in case of fault. The redundant amplier must be the same model as
the primary amplier. A Failover Link Cable must be connected between the primary and redundant amplier as shown below. Connect
ground to ground and Pin 1 of the primary amplier to Pin 2 of the redundant amplier; connect Pin 2 of the primary amplier to Pin 1 of
the redundant amplier.

Failover is triggered by one of the following conditions:

• Chassis fault on primary amplier

• Channel fault on primary amplier

• Loss of power to the primary amplier

• Loss of CobraNet link to primary amplier

• Loss of Failover Link Cable

• ELD-1/speaker line fault if enabled in software

Only faults (chassis and channel) trigger the failover mechanism. Abnormal conditions that do not immediately impair audio appear as

warnings, but do not trigger failover.

The redundant amplier may be wired in parallel to the existing speaker line or it can be connected to a redundant speaker line. Relays
isolate the output terminals on the secondary amplier unit. Relays are normally open. When a conguration is received, relays close on
the primary unit and remain open on the redundant unit. On failover, the relay states are reversed.

Device-to-Device Failover Wiring with Parallel Speaker Wiring

After replacing the faulty amplier, a power cycle is required to recover from failover. This can be done either by physically repowering the
ampliers or by performing a device reset in the Vocia software via the amplier test tab. The ampliers are required to be reset within 10
seconds of each other in order for the primary device to resume control.

10

VOCIA AMPLIFIERS VA-2060, VA-2060e, VA-4030, VA-4030e FAILOVER MODES

Channel-to-Channel Failover

All ampliers support channel-to-channel failover. This is congured in the Vocia software in the ampliers general setting as 1:1 Failover.
In this conguration, channel pairs can be specied and adjacent channels will act as a redundant backup. Channel 2 will act as backup for
channel 1. For the VA-4030 and VA-4030e models, channel 4 will act as backup for channel 3.

Additionally the VA-4030 and VA-4030e ampliers support 3:1 channel redundancy. This is congured in the Vocia software in the ampliers
general setting as 3:1 failover. In this conguration channel 4 will act as a redundant backup for channel 1, 2 or 3.

1:1 or 3:1 channel failover is triggered by one of the following conditions:

• Heatsink fault (over temperature)

• Short circuit fault

• Channel failure fault

• ELD-1/speaker line fault if enabled in software

The redundant channel may be wired in parallel to the existing speaker line or connected to a redundant speaker line. The primary amplier
module will resume control after the fault condition is cleared and the unit is re-powered.
