Wiring

The male and female connectors on the side of the V-Box are wired in
parallel, which means the station can be series-connected in a cable run with
other Clear-Com stations. Typically, the female connector connects to the
cable running from a main station or power supply and the male connector
connects to other stations. (Different wiring is required for two-channel
operation. Refer to the
To connect the station, plug the terminal block onto the pins on the station’s
circuit board.

All internal levels, jumpers, or dip switches must be set according to the
station’s instruction manual before securing the station in the V-Box. If the
EB-4W 4-Wire Option is used, 16- to 18-VAC power needs to be connected
from a transformer to the EB-4W power connector. The power cable can be
run through the slot in the blank four-gang panel.

If end panels must be reversed, new pilot holes must be drilled for the wood
screws securing the XLR jacks to the panel. Keep the blank panel in place to
ease reassembly of the end panels to the chassis.

Contact the factory to obtain additional end panels for applications requiring
two-channel operation with loop-through.
