VNS2200 Amplifier & Controller Installation

1. Determine the installation location for the VNS2200 device. Consider the following when determining the installation location:

 Standard VNS2200 device is equipped with AC to DC power adaptor and require a standard 110VAC or 220VAC power

outlet. The power adaptor consists of 6’ DC power cable and 6’ of AC power cord. Consider these cable lengths and the

distance between the power outlet and the VNS2200 device.

 For VNS2200 devices equipped with VNS2256 option: The solar panel is equipped with 15’ feet of power cable. Consider

this cable length and the distance between the outdoor solar panel installation location and the VNS2200 device.

 For VNS2200 devices equipped with , VNS2268, VNS2261 or VNS2263 option: The intercom wall station is equipped with

25’ feet of data cable. Consider this cable length and the distance between the intercom wall station installation location and

the VNS2200 device.

 For VNS2200 devices equipped with VNS2264 option: The ambient noise level sensor is equipped with 10’ feet of data

cable. Consider this cable length and the distance between the ambient noise level sensor installation location and the

VNS2200 device.

2. Position the VNS2200 device on the mounting surface and confirm that it is vertical to the floor.

Note

: When the device is installed properly, the LED should be on the left top corner (front view).

3. Secure the VNS2200 device to the wall using screws appropriate for the mounting surface (use 1.5”-2” long screws).

4. If an external antenna (2.5db or 3db gain) is used, install it on the BNC connector.

5. Connect the output devices to their respective port. Below are the available connector types that may be installed on your

device:

2 Pin Female: Strobe Light or 12VDC Controlled Device (for VNS2282 option, STROBE LIGHTS port)

3 Pin Female: Speaker Audio Output (SPEAKERS port)

4 Pin Female: Dual Output for Two Strobe Lights or 12VDC Controlled Devices (for VNS2282 option, STROBE LIGHTS port)

4 Pin Female: Line Level Audio Output with Dry-Contact Closure (for VNS2284 option, INTERFACE port)

5 Pin Female: Dual Speaker Audio Output for Two Speakers (for VNS2281 option, SPEAKERS port)

5 Pin Female: Alphanumeric Display Output (for VNS2283 option, LED DISPLAY port)

8 Pin Male: Intercom Wall Station or Ambient Noise Level Control (for , VNS2268, VNS2261, VNS2263 & VNS2264 options,

INTERCOM port)

6. Connect the other end of each cable to the appropriate output device and verify proper connections.

7. Connect the power adaptor male connector to the POWER port of the VNS2200 device (for AC powered device only

Note

: The VNS2200 devices should be protected from direct rain and snow, and if possible, from direct sun. These devices are

suitable for outdoor installation. Yet, the devices are not watertight and it’s highly recommended that outdoor installation locations

will include an overhang to protect the VNS2200 device from direct rain, snow and sun.

VNS2267 & VNS2268 (2-Way Intercom) Option

1. Before installation, consider the distance between the VNS2200 device and the VNS2267 or VNS2268 intercom wall station. The

VNS2200 device and the intercom wall station will be connected using the provided CAT5 cable (25’ long).

2. Follow steps 1-7 of the VNS2200 Amplifier & Controller Installation described above.

3. Disconnect the power source connector from the POWER port of the VNS2200 device.

4. Run the data cable between the VNS2200 device and the intercom wall station.

5. Connect the RJ45 data cable to the intercom wall station (Image 3).

6. Attach the intercom wall station to a single gang box using supplied 2 machine screws. For surface installation, use the

metal/wood screws (Image 2).

Note

: When mounting directly to wall surface (without gang box), remove the breakable data cable outlet (Image 3) and pass

the cable through the opening at the bottom.

7. Connect the other end of the cable (8 Pin Female connector) to the 8 Pin Male port of the main VNS2200 device marked as

INTERCOM.

8. Connect the power source connector to the POWER port of the VNS2200 device.

9. Document the location and the serial number of the main VNS2200 device.

Note

: The serial number of the VNS2200 device is required for system programming.
