V-2001A, V-2003A and V-2006A). Additional
speakers may be added to a zone by using a
V-1094A. Each V-1094A allows the addition of
150 more amplified speaker assemblies to that
zone.

VoIP (Voice-over-Internet-Protocol)
Adapters

 Valcom’s VoIP adapters provide loudspeaker

paging through the client’s LAN/WAN.

 VIP-801, Networked Page Zone Extender,

enables voice access over an IP-based
LAN/WAN. Other VIP-801(s) will allow page
zone extensions anywhere else on the
network.

 VIP-811, Enhanced Networked Station Port,

connects to an FXO port, loop start trunk port,
or dedicated analog telephone terminal
device, and is connected to an IP-based
LAN/WAN.

 VIP-821, Enhanced Networked Trunk Port,

allows a PBX system device or IP telephone
adapter to be connected to a managed
IP-based LAN/WAN. The PBX system device
or IP telephone adapter must provide an open
loop disconnect signal.

 Up to 1024 zones are possible using a

VIP-801 unit per zone for audio output.

line telephones, you will need a page control unit,
one-way amplified speaker assemblies, and
possibly a power supply. In most cases, page
access will be via a line button for 1A2, a loop
start trunk port for a PABX or Electronic Key or via
Tip and Ring on a singe line telephone(s).

The control units may be any of the following.

The speakers may be any Valcom amplified
speaker or horn. The quantity of speakers
required depends on several factures including
the type of speaker and the environment it will be
used in. Please refer to the Installation section of
this document for details.

Power unit requirements for all Valcom speakers
are listed with each speaker model on the Valcom
website. Please refer to www.valcom.com for
specific power requirements for each style of
speaker.

Valcom Power Units

Each page control/interface, speaker and
peripheral device has been assigned a Valcom
power unit (VPU) value. Products that provide
power, such as the 2000 Series page
control/interfaces or power supplies, have power
unit values indicated with a plus (+) sign.
Products that consume power have power unit
values indicated with a minus (-) sign. Products
that neither require nor provide power are
indicated by a VPU of zero (0).

After you have chosen the page control interface,
speakers and accessories for your application,
simply add up all of the Valcom power units
[indicated by a minus (-)] for each item that
requires power. This total tells you how much
power you need. If you have chosen a 2000
Series control/interface, subtract the total power
units provided by this controller from your
previous total. If you come out even, or you have
power left over, you paging system is complete.
However, if you come out with more VPUs
required than provided, you will need additional
power. The additional power required will be
provided by adding one or more VALCOM power
supplies as listed in Table 2.

There are several cases when more than one
power supply will be required:

1. When the power required exceed the
maximum output of the power supplies
available: Add additional supplies as
required.

2. In large systems or systems with many horn
speakers: Locate separate power supplies
near groups of speakers. (Refer to Table 6
for guidelines concerning maximum allowable
distances for power runs.)

3. When the paging system is in several
buildings or on several floors of a single
building, locate power supply in each building
or on each floor being paged.

Valcom V-1094A, V-2000A or V-2001A control
units may be used for page port access to Valcom
paging. Each of these units provide one zone of
one-way paging. If more than one page port is
available a V-1094A, V-2000A or V-2001A may be
used on each port for multizone paging. For help
in speaker and power supply selection refer to
Tables 2 and 3, and to the section titled "1A2,
Dedicated Single Line Set, E-Key, or PABX
Paging".

NOTE: Generally, Valcom dial select
multizone page units may not be used on page
port output. (The V-2003A and V-2006A may be
used on certain page ports that have an
associated page port contact closure and
support DTMF signaling).

Station level Paging

The Valcom V-9940 and V-9970 Station level
Page Adapters may be utilized to provide access
to a single or multiple zone paging system via an
incoming central office line, Centrex//Essex line or
PABX station.

This device:

1) Accepts a ringing phone line or station port.

2) Answers that line.

3) Provides line level audio to the paging
system.

For a single zone of paging, Valcom One-way
Amplified Speakers may be directly connected to
the audio output of the station level page adapter.

Electrically, station level page adapters act
like a "self-answering" telephone.

The V-9940 and V-9970 are FCC registered for
direct connection to the public telephone network,
and also carry U.L. 1459 approval. It will ring trip
from 70 to 105 VRMS (20 to 30 hertz) ringing
voltage.

With a single line telephone, the called party
provides disconnect at the end of the
conversation by going "on hook". A station level
page adapter, on the other hand, has no way of
"knowing" when the calling party has finished
speaking. This unit has to sense line conditions in
order to determine when it is time to disconnect.
