DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not remove cover.
No user serviceable parts inside.
Power Connections
The preferred method of powering a VIP-804 is
via a power over Ethernet switch meeting the
802.3af specification. The Valcom VIP-908
Ethernet switch which is ideal for this purpose,
and will power up to 7 VIP-800 series devices.
If the rear panel barrel connector is used for
power, the preferred power supply is a Valcom
VIP-324.
Make all required signal connections before
applying power to the unit. If powering via 802.3af,
make sure all signal connections via the rear
panel are made then connect the VIP-804 to the
Ethernet switch.
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.
Mounting
The VIP-804 is designed for wall, table or rack
mounting.
Table: Provided with the VIP-804 are four rubber
stick on feet. Peel these feet off their carrier
backing and place at the four corners of the
bottom of the unit.
Wall: Using the template and instructions
provided, secure the VIP-804 to the wall.
Rack: Following the assembly drawing, attach the
two mounting ears to the VIP-804 unit. Using rack
screws, mount the VIP-804 in an available 1U
rack slot.
If power is provided 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 in to the VIP-804 via
the barrel connector on the rear of the VIP-804.
Network Connection
The VIP-804 has one CAT-5 RJ-45 network
connector on the front panel.
Use one of he supplied CAT-5 patch cables to
connect the VIP-804 to an Ethernet switch. If the
Ethernet switch is 802.3af compliant the VIP-804
will draw power from it.
Signal Connections
The VIP-804 has 5 signal connectors on the rear
panel.
• 1 RCA jack for AUX audio input
• 4 RJ-45 connectors for audio and relay
connections for each networked channel.
AUX Input: Local audio input is via the rear panel
RCA jack. Nominal input impedance is 600
Ohms. Connect any compatible audio source
using an RCA patch cable.
