PAGING HORN AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLIES
INTRODUCTION
This instruction contains the specifications and
information necessary to install, operate, and maintain
the V -1030C and the V-1036C Paging Horn Amplifier
Assemblies.
This equipment has received FCC type KX
registration, designed to be used with FCC registered
Key Telephone Systems. In accordance with FCC
Rules with applicable tariffs, this Paging Unit may
only be installed with the authorization of the host
system. Installations may be made by Valcom, Inc.,

SPECIFICATIONS
Description
The V -1030C and V-1036C are Paging Horn/ Amplifier
Assemblies. The V -1030C is a self- contained 5 Watt
paging system with a 5 Watt amplifier; the V -1036C is
a self-contained 15 Watt paging system with a 15
Watt amplifier. Both units incorporate a high
efficiency horn with a volume control.
Applications
• Use with Valcom page control
• Expanding the capability of telephone systems
which contain limited paging capabilities
• Loud ringer application in systems where
loud-speaker tone signaling is employed

Example: In a quiet environment, V -1030C, 5 Watt
Horns, would be spaced 110 feet apart side to side
and would provide good quality sound 110 feet in
front of each horn approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of
coverage.
Definitions:
Quiet: 50-65db. This would include areas such as
waiting rooms, doctor’s examination rooms, stock
areas, etc.
Moderate: 65-80db. This includes areas such as
warehouses, shipping areas or light manufacturing.
Noisy: 80-90db. This includes machine shops or
heavy manufacturing.
Very Noisy: Greater than 90db. This would include
any areas where talking to another person is very
difficult. Workers may be required to wear ear plugs.
Audio Wire Runs
When a remote power unit is used, the audio pair run
should be limited to 5,000 feet and a maximum of 4
horns when using 24 AWG wire. A V -1094A, Page
Port Pre-Amp/Expander, may be added to increase the
number of horns and/or distance. Twisted pair wire
(standard telephone wire) should be used for
connections.
Power Wire Run
For good quality sound, the distance recommended
between the power supply and horns should be
adhered to.
See the Valcom power run gauge guide for additional
wire gauges and distances.

Attaching Speaker to Base
NOTE: For ease of installation, the base can be
attached to the speaker bef ore or after the base is
mounted.
• Loosen position adjustment knob
• Insert the ball of the base into the socket of the
speaker
• Tighten the position adjustment knob
Mounting
These horns should be mounted 15 to 20 feet above
the floor to allow for best sound distribution. The
units can be mounted to a wall, a beam or an electrical
box.
• Mount the base to a wall using the two holes
provided. Knockout holes are provided for
punch out should additional holes be desired.
• A "C" clamp is provided with the horns to allow
mounting to a beam. Place the bolt through the
hole in the bottom of the base to secure the "C"
clamp to the beam (See Figure 1). It is suggested
that the horn be mounted to the underside of the
"I" beam to provide maximum positioning
adjustments.
2
• Connection to an electrical backbox is
accomplished by channeling wire through the
ball of the base and making appropriate
connections. The base has holes punched for a
double-gang square box, but by punching out
additional knockout holes, the base can be
mounted to a single-gang or octagon box (See
Figure 2).
The horns may be rotated or moved up and down to
obtain the desired position by loosening the position
adjustment knob (See Figures 1 and 2) at the bottom
of the unit approximately one turn. Make required
adjustments and re-tighten knob.

• Check prese nce and polarity of -24VDC and GND.
• Using a telephone test set, check for the proper audio level on the Tip
and Ring leads, and if necessary also at the source.
Low Volume • Check that volume control is turned up (clockwise).
• Check voltage at the horn when in use, -18 to -24VDC required.
• Using a telephone test set, check for proper audio level on Tip and Ring
leads. It is possible that some low level audio will be heard with only one
side of Tip and Ring connected.
Loud Squeal • Lower volume of horn.
• Aim hor n in different direction.
• Increase the distance between the telephone and horn.
• Install a confidencer on the telephone in severe problem areas.
