device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area
may cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

Precautionary Designations

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock,

Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Mounting

The VIP-801 is designed for wall or table mounting.
Table: Provided with the VIP-801 are four rubber

pads. Peel the pads from their carrier backing
and place at the four corners of the bottom of the
unit.

Wall: Using the brackets and screws provided,
secure the VIP-801 to the wall.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Do not remove cover.

No user serviceable parts inside.

This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within this unit.

This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying
this unit.

Power Connections

The preferred method of powering a VIP-801 is via
a power over Ethernet switch meeting the 802.3af
specification.

If the rear panel barrel connector is used for power,
the preferred power supply is a Valcom VIP-324D.

Make all required signal connections before
applying power to the unit. If powering via 802.3af,
make sure all signal connections via the back panel
are made then connect the VIP-801 to the Ethernet
switch.

If power is supplied via the barrel connector, make
sure all signal connections are secure. Attach the
unit to the network via the front panel RJ-45
Ethernet connector. Apply power by plugging the
power supply into the VIP-801 via the barrel
connector on the rear of the VIP-801.

Network Connection

The VIP-801 has one RJ-45 network connector on
the front panel. Use a standard Ethernet patch
cable to connect the VIP-801 to an Ethernet switch.

Signal Connections

The VIP-801 has 4 signal connectors on the rear
panel:

 RCA jack for AUX audio input
 2 Pin screw terminal for audio output
 6 Pin screw terminal for relay connections
 4 Pin screw terminal for audio input and contact

closure input
AUX Input: Local audio may be input via the

rear panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance
is 600 Ohms. Connect any compatible audio
source using an RCA patch cable. Audio
supplied through the rear panel RCA jack is
transformer coupled to Audio Out when Audio Out
is idle. This is typically used for background music.

Audio Out: Typically connects to Self Amplified
Speakers or into an amplifier. AUX Input audio
mutes when Audio Out is receiving page audio.

Audio Input/Contact Closure: The audio input
and contact closure share a four pin terminal
connection. Neither input is polarity sensitive.
The contact closure is on the right two terminals
labeled "CC". The audio input is on the left two
terminals labeled "AUDIO".
