VP-6124/VP-6124-E
24 VOLT DC SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY
These instructions provide the specifications, installation and maintenance information for the VP-6124 and VP-6124-E, 24Volt Power Supplies.
SPECIFICATIONS
The VP-6124 and VP-6124-E are fully regulated 24VDC, 6 Amp switching power supplies. The primary is protected by a 4 Amp slo-blow fuse and the 2 Amp outputs by auto resetting fuses. The outputs are floating with respect to ground. The regulator will maintain 24 Volts +/-2% over the rated range of input voltages and output loads. A greater than 6 Amp load on power up will cause the power supply to current limit. Short circuit protection is provided. Over voltage is provided to limit the output voltage to approximately 28 Volts should a failure occur within the power supply. Outputs may be paralleled but not series connected.
Applications
The VP-6124/VP-6124-E are designed to be used with:
All Valcom page control units
Valcom one-way amplified speaker assemblies
Any application where 24VDC filtered talk
battery is required

FCC
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
INSTALLATION Mounting
The VP-6124 and VP-6124-E are designed for wall mounting only. The unit should be mounted within
seven feet of an AC receptacle.
Screw mounting plate to wall and position power
supply on mounting plate via the mounting slots.
See page 4 for mounting instructions.
Connections
Connections to Valcom page control units are
shown in Figure 1.
When using the VP-6124 or VP-6124-E with
Valcom page equipment, a strap may be added from the local ground terminal to either of the "+" outputs.
When installing Valcom one-way amplified
horns, connect the white and black wires of the horn to the power supply "-" and "+" terminals respectively.
When installing Valcom one-way speakers,
connect the "-24VDC" and "GND" terminals of the speaker to the "-" and "+" terminals respectively.
Plug power supply into wall outlet.
Power supply activates after a 3 seconds delay.
Use CAT-5 wire.
NOTE: Each 24VDC screw terminal is fused by a 2 Amp polyswitch automatic type fuse. Therefore, when connecting equipment to this power supply, the load should be distributed between the (3) 2 Amp output terminals and each load should not exceed 2 Amps.

Mounting
Use Steps 1 through 3 and Figures 2 and 3 to mount the power supply on a wall or other surface capable of supporting the weight of the supply (approximately 5 pounds). Carefully unpack the power supply and inspect for shipping damage. Select a location for installation of the power supply in a clean, dry, vibration-free area with moderate temperature within six feet of an approved AC outlet.
1. Using the mounting bracket (see Figure 2) as a template, mark the two slotted holes on the surface of the wall.
2. Using mounting hardware capable of supporting approximately 5 pounds, mount the bracket to the wall ensuring
that the mounting holes are oriented as shown in Figure 2.
