3.4.3 Navigating the Reply key display window
By default, the Reply key is placed in the lower left corner of the panel. You
can move this to any other position from panel programming in the EHX
software.
Note: From the EHX Software, you can enable dual Reply keys. The second Reply key
appears by default directly to the right of the first Reply key. If this position is
already in use, you can either overwrite it or select another position on the
panel. For more information, see the EHX Software User Guide.
Note: You can only reply to the last two calls. Calls are not stacked.
The following points apply to dual Reply keys:
If neither Reply key has incoming calls, the first Reply key is always
populated first.
If both Reply keys have incoming calls, another incoming call replaces
the older of the two original incoming calls.
If a Reply is latched, it will not be replaced by another incoming call.
If both Reply keys are latched, further incoming calls will be heard but
will not appear on the Reply keys.

4 Installing V-Series panels
This chapter describes how to install V-Series panels, including expansion
panels. It also describes how to install the optional two additional IP channels
that are available.
4.1 Placing panels
4.1.1 Placing rack mounted panels
Locate all panels at comfortable heights for operation and leave at least 2
inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the panel’s chassis to allow for
cable connectors.
Expansion panels are usually installed next to or near the main panel. Leave at
least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of each expansion panel to
allow for cable connectors.
Connect expansion panels using straight through 8-way shielded CAT5 cable
with RJ45 connectors.
Note: Expansion panels can be connected to the main panel in a daisy chain using
cables not more than 16 ft (5 m) long between each panel. The cable length of
any daisy chain of panels must not exceed 24 ft (7.5 m) in total.
4.1.2 Placing desktop panels
Desktop panels can be placed on a flat surface or they may be used as wall
mounted panels. Where desktop panels are placed on a flat surface leave at
least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the panel to allow for
cable connectors.
To wall mount a desktop panel:
1) Check the contents of the panel fixing kit provided with the desktop
panel as shown below:
Figure 4-1: Desktop panel wall mounting kit
V-Series Panels | User Guide (draft, not yet released)
Page 27
2) Rotate the front panel, so that the controls and display will face
upwards when wall mounted:
3) Remove the eight countersunk screws that hold the front of the panel
in place (the countersunk screws are located on the ends of the panel,
four on each end)
Note: Retain all the screws and remove the front panel assembly.
Figure 4-2: Countersunk screws in desktop panel
Note: The cables connecting the front panel electronics to the main
PCB are long enough to allow the panel front to be removed
and rotated without having to unplug any of the cables.
4) Rotate the front panel 180 degrees taking care not to pull on any of the
cables and reposition it. Ensure that no cables are trapped before
refitting the screws.
5) Apply pressure to the panel front to align the screw holes and fit the
top and bottom screws loosely on each side before fitting the remaining
screws and tightening all the screws.
When completed the front panel will be upside down when the panel
is standing on a flat surface.

6) Attach the upper wall bracket to the wall in the required position using
suitable fixings. Allow enough clearance below for the panel for the
lower fixing plate and the cable connections.
Figure 4-4: Desktop casing (without lower bracket)
7) Use the two fixing screws to attach the lower wall bracket to the rear of
the desktop panel so that the offset part of the plate faces away from
the panel body.

8) Hang the panel on the upper wall bracket and mark the position of the
screw hole for the lower bracket on the wall. Remove the panel and
place a suitable fixing for the lower wall bracket.
9) Replace the panel on the upper bracket and attach the lower wall
bracket to the fixing. Attach the cables to the connectors and power the
panel up.
4.1.3 Placing expansion panels
The following section describes how to install the following optional, accessory
key panels:
The V12LDE Lever Key Expansion Panel adds 12 lever key talk/listen
selectors to a panel.
The V12PDE Pushbutton Expansion Panel adds 12 pushbutton
talk/listen selectors to a panel.
The V12RDE Rotary Expansion Panel adds 12 rotary talk/listen
selectors to a panel.
The V16LDE Lever Key Expansion Panel adds 16 lever key talk/listen
selectors to a panel.
The installation procedure is identical for these panels.
V-Series Panels | User Guide (draft, not yet released)
Page 30
Note: Expansion panel types (lever key, pushbutton or rotary) may not be mixed in a
daisy chain of such panels and must be connected to a main panel of the same
type.
Note: The V16LDE expansion panel can only be used with the V32LD panel.
Only one rack unit (1RU) of a standard Electronics Industry Association
equipment rack is required for each expansion panel. The panels’ compact size
makes them ideal for use in TV control rooms, edit suites, mobile OB vans, and
any other location where many talk/listen keys are necessary but space it at a
premium.
All panels provide 12 or 16 additional selectors with displays.
4.1.3.1 Mounting
All accessory panels are mounted in a standard 19-inch wide (48.3 cm)
standard Electronics Industry Association rack, requiring one unit of rack space
each. Leave at least 2 in. (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the chassis
to allow for cable connectors.
4.1.3.2 Power
Each expansion panel is powered by an external power supply which may be
mounted on the back of the panel using the mounting clip provided. To connect
the power supply to an expansion panel, route the transformer’s output lead to
the power connector on the back of the panel. This is a 4 pin connector.
4.1.3.3 Panel connection
A cable is supplied with each panel to connect it to a main panel or to
additional expansion panels. The cable is a 6-ft. long (1.8 m) CAT5 cable with
RJ45 connectors at each end. If custom length cables are to be made, they
should be made with cable with 22 to 24 AWG wire. The pins should be wired
one-to-one between the RJ45 connectors. The maximum distance between the
panel and the last expansion panel should be 25 ft. (7.6 m).
To connect an expansion panel to a main panel:
1) Plug one end of the CAT5 cable into the RJ45 expansion socket on the
back of the main panel.
2) Plug the other end of the CAT5 cable into the input connector on the
back of the expansion panel.
To connect an additional accessory panel:
1) Plug the CAT5 cable into the output connector of the last expansion
panel in the chain.
2) Plug the other end of the CAT5 cable into the input connector of the
new expansion panel. More panels can be added by using this daisychaining method.
The numbering of expansion selectors follows the order of the daisy chaining.
