SYSTEM DESIGN

General

The 45 Ohm Talkback Speakers are designed to be used with the Valcom "handsfree" talkback control units. In combination with these units, they will provide both loudspeaker and talkback functions.

A standard Valcom talkback paging system is made up of three basic components:

1. A talkback page control unit

2. Speakers (45 Ohm)

3. A power supply

Consult Valcom's VSP - Handsfree Talkback Paging (Part # 947099) for detailed information on selecting the control unit and power supply.

Coverage

The distance you can be away from a speaker and still have good talkback depends on the type of speaker and the ambient noise level. In a typical office environment, a wall speaker (V-1061-W, V-1061-BK, V-1062A, V-1063A, V-1064A, V-1065A, V-1066A, V-1067A) will cover approximately 600 square feet when mounted eight feet from the floor. Ceiling speaker coverage is dependent on ceiling height; the greater the ceiling height, the larger the area covered.

TYPICAL REPLY DISTANCE CHART

IMPORTANT

The speaker is no better than your ears. If you cannot carry on a conversation at normal voice levels over the required talkback distance, then the talkback page equipment will not function satisfactorily.

Use common sense when mounting a talkback speaker. The speaker should be as close as possible to the area where talkback is desired. It should not be mounted close to or pointed at, noise producing equipment such as fans, air conditioners, machinery or compressors.

Limitations

• Two talkback speakers maximum per zone unless V-9922A talkback speaker selection units are used. Refer to the next section for details.
• Two talkback plus 40 one-way amplified speakers maximum per zone when mixing talkback and one-way paging.
• 800 feet maximum cable length to speaker from page control.
  NOTE: Do not split pairs to speakers.
• Do not use talkback in noisy areas (80dB or greater).

V-9922A Talkback Speaker Selection Units

Valcom recommends that the total number of speakers per talkback zone be limited to two talkback and forty one-way self-amplified speakers. The reasoning behind this recommendation is simple. Whenever a page is made into a talkback zone, the paging party will hear audio from all of the talkback speakers in that zone. If a zone contains more than two talkback speakers, the talkback audio from the "extra" speakers will impede the quality of the talkback audio from the desired speaker. Additionally, there are limits to the number of talkback speakers that a page control will actually drive.

Ideally, if a page were made into a talkback zone, all of the speakers would simply act like "one-way" speakers except for the one that is closest to the paged person. Talkback capability can be provided by utilizing a V-9922A, Talkback Speaker Selection Unit, for each talkback speaker. A V-9928, Wall Mount 5 Watt Amplifier, is also required for every six (6) talkback speakers.

When a page is made, all speakers provide one-way announcement. In order to respond, the paged party activates the closest speaker with a press of the push-button of that speakers associated talkback speaker selection unit. This activates the chosen speaker as a talkback speaker and resets any previously selected speaker. Contact Valcom Technical Support at [phone] for additional information.

Two conductor twisted wire is required for the 45 Ohm talkback speakers. Standard 22 or 24 gauge station wire is acceptable. Shielded wire is not required or recommended. Connections are as follows:

• Speaker out from page control to speaker tip
• Speaker common to speaker ring

Mounting

V-1060A: Cut an 8.5" diameter hole in ceiling tile. After connections have been made to the speaker, attach speaker to ceiling tile using the mounting hardware provided. NOTE: Where extra speaker support is needed, a V-9916 or V-9916M Valcom Bridge and Backbox should be used.

V-1061-BK, V-1061-W, V-1062A, V-1063A: After making the required connections, fasten a suitable mounting screw (#10 sheet metal screw or similar) to the wall at the desired location for mounting of the speaker. Hang the speaker on the screw using the keyhole on the speaker bracket.

V-1064A. V-1065A: After making the required connections to the speaker, use appropriate hardware such as an 8d finishing nail and hang the speaker in the corner. Typical mounting height would be 8 feet.

V-1066A, V-1067A: Unscrew mounting bracket and baffle from speaker assembly. Using appropriate hardware, mount the bracket to the wall. After making the required connections, reattach the baffle to the speaker and the speaker to the mounting bracket.
