1 Issue 9 VE8025/VE PORT RETROFIT GATEWAY INTRODUCTION The VE8025 and VE8045 Talkback Gateways are designed for intercom applications using analog 25V or 45 ohm speakers respectively. They are ideal for modernizing existing analog intercoms. The VE8025/VE8045 Talkback Gateways support 8 intercom stations consisting of a speaker and normally open call button. Each speaker and call button requires a dedicated pair of application appropriate wire. SPECIFICATIONS Features 8 Speaker Connections 2 Line Level Outputs 2 Form A relay contacts 8 N.O. Call Button Inputs RJ-45 for network connection Front panel activity LED Provides audio for up to 40 Valcom one-way amplified speaker assemblies in 2 zones AUX audio input via screw terminal Contact closure or VOX operation of audio input Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af compatible Dimensions/Weight (VE8025/8045) 1 Standard 19 Rack Unit 1.75 H x 16.50" W x 7.38" D (4.45cm H x 41.91cm W x 18.75cm D) Weight: 5.20 lbs.

N installez pas l appareil à proximité de sources de chaleur telles que radiateurs, registres de chaleur, poêles/cuisinières ou autres appareils compris amplificateurs) produisant de la chaleur. 9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade and the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Ne pas contourner le dispositif de sécurité de la fiche polarisée type. Une fiche polarisée posséde deux lames dont une plus large que l autre. La lame large est fournie pour votre sécurité. Si la fiche fournie ne rentre pas dans votre prise, consultez un électricien pour remplacer la prise obsoléte. 10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Protégez le cordon d alimentation pour qu il ne soit pas soumis au passage de personnes ou oincé, particulièrement à son point de contact avec la fiche, les prises et le point de sortie de l appareil. 11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Utilisez seulement les pièces/accessoires spécifiés par le fabricant. 12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Utilisez seulement avec un chariot, un support, un trépied, une console ou table spécifié par le fabricant ou vendu avec l'appareil. Lorsque vous utilisez un chariot, soyez prudent lorsque vous déplacez l'ensemble chariot / appareil pour éviter les blessures en cas de chute. 13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for a long period of time. Débranchez cet appareil durant les orages ou si inutilisé pendant de longues période de temps. 14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way. Such as when the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled, objects have fallen into the apparatus or the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture and does not operate normally or has been dropped. Confiez toute réparation à un personnel qualifié. Une réparation s impose si l appareil a été endommagé d une façon quelconque, si le cordon d alimentation ou la fiche sont endommagés, s il y a eu pénétration de liquide ou d un objet dans l appareil, si ce dernier a été exposé à de la pluie ou de l humidité, s il ne fonctionne pas normalement ou s il est tombé. 15. Tie off to structure with support wire is recommended. Dispositif apposer sur la structure du bâtiment avec le soutien de fil est recommandée. Device Mounting Always check speaker lines, new or existing, for transient voltage and proper impedance before cross connecting to the intercom equipment. Use a good quality Impedance Meter, not an Ohm meter. Speaker Type PER PORT VALUES Number of Interior* speakers Sum of Tap settings The VE8025/VE8045 is designed for rack mounting (1U). Expected Impedance Reading VE Volt Any 5 Watt => 125 Ohm VE Ohm Up to 2 N/A => 22.5 Ohm *Interior speakers are cone type ceiling or wall speakers. Loud horns should use the line level outputs associated with zones 7 & 8 and be self-amplified or use suitable external amplifiers. Rack: Secure mounting brackets to the VE8025/VE8045. (See Figure 1) Place the VE8025/VE8045 into a standard 19 rack and secure to rack with proper hardware (included)

3 Figure 1. Mounting Power Connections The VE8025/VE8045 is powered via a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch meeting the 802.3af specification. Make sure all signal connections via the back panel are made then connect the VE8025/VE8045 to the Ethernet switch. Network Connection The VE8025/VE8045 has one RJ-45 Ethernet network connector on the front panel. Use an Ethernet patch cable to connect the VE8025/VE8045 to an Ethernet switch. Signal Connections The VE8025/VE8045 has screw terminals for all field wiring connections. See Figures 2 & 3. The number one cause of troubles in retrofit systems is directly related to the existing field wiring. It is imperative that existing speaker and call switch wiring (field wiring) be assessed before making connections to new equipment. Guidelines for doing so may be found in our Best Practices and General Troubleshooting Procedures. Auxiliary Input The auxiliary input on the VE8025 and VE8045 has absolute priority and is intended for emergency messaging from a line level source. It is not a music input as paging will not override the aux audio. Status Indicator Lights The VE8025/VE8045 has 3 status indication lights on the front panel: Link and ACT are built into the RJ45 Connector. STATUS: Flashes during normal operation and solid during system startup. LINK: Indicates 100 Mbit Ethernet connection when illuminated. No activity indicates 10 Mbit connection. ACT: Indicator flashes to indicate network activity. Setup Information specific to your application will need to be programmed into the VE8025/VE8045 using a computer. The PC used for programming should be connected to the same subnet as the VE8025/VE8045. Setup will be done using the IP Solutions Setup Tool.
