Installation

Mounting (Network Interface)

The Network Interface is designed for wall or
shelf mounting and must be within 300 feet of
the network switch.

Shelf: Provided with the Network Interface are
four rubber pads. Peel the pads from the carrier
backing and place at the four corners of the
bottom of the unit.

Wall: Using the brackets and wood screws
provided, secure the Network Interface to the
wall.

Mounting (Horn)

The VIP-130AL-IC Horn is designed for most FD
electrical box or wall mounting and must be
within 350 feet of the VIP-130AL Network
Interface. See NEMA OS 3-2002 sec.1.2.3.5 for
FD box specifications.

Attaching Speaker to Base

NOTE: For ease of installation, the base can be
attached to the speaker before 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
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.

 A “C” clamp is provided with the horns to

allow mounting to a beam. When using the
“C” clamp for mounting, remove the signal
cable from the ball mount. Reinstall an
RJ45 connector on the signal cable after
mounting, using the T568B pinout scheme.
See Figure 1.

 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.

 Mount the base to wall studs using the two

holes provided. Knockout holes are
provided for punch out should additional
holes be desired. See Figure 3.

The horn may be rotated or moved up and down
to obtain the desired position by loosening the
position adjustment knob at the bottom of the
unit approximately one turn. Make required
adjustments and re-tighten knob.

Interconnections

The only method of powering the VIP-130AL-IC
IP Paging Horn is via a Power over Ethernet
(PoE) switch or power injector meeting the

802.3af specification.
Make all required signal connections before

connecting to Ethernet switch or power injector
meeting the 802.3af specification. Power is
supplied to the horn assembly via the Network
Interface

Signal Connections

Audio output connection is made from the Signal
Output. The RJ-45 connector on the horn is
connected directly to the RJ-45 Signal Output
socket on the IP Link. If additional length is
required, any standard T568B extension may be
used. See Figure 4.

Network Connection

The Network Interface has one RJ-45 network
connector. Use a standard Ethernet patch cable
to connect the Network Interface to an Ethernet
switch.
