Installation
The E-50 is designed to be flush mounted into a standard single gang rough-in box with minimum inside dimensions of 2.25" deep x 2.00" wide x 2.84" tall. The E-50 can also be surface mounted in a Viking model VE-3x5 (not included, see DOD 424).
WARNING: Do NOT use a typical "wet location box" as not all styles seal properly with the E-50 faceplate.
A. New Construction Flush Mounting
| Step 1. | Recommended mounting height to bottom of the rough-in box is 50" - 54". Front of box should stick out approximately 1⁄2" from front surface of wall stud (this may vary depending on the walls sheathing and siding thickness).Caution: Rough-In box must be mounted LEVELand must NOTstick out beyond the front surface of siding. |
| Step 2. | To maintain a vapor barrier on outside wall applications, caulk around the box, filling any gaps between the box and the rough opening. Apply caulk to any holes in the box around wires, etc. |
| Step 3. | When installing siding cut a hole just large enough for the Rough-In box opening.Caution: Too large of a hole can cause plate misalignment and compromise the gasket seal.Note: When mounting to 4 inch or less horizontal lap siding, the unit can be mounted horizontally (see page 5, section H) flush against siding or a siding mounting block can be used (recommended with vinyl siding). Contact siding installer for the correct mounting block. |
B. Old Work / Remodel Flush Mounting (Using a recommended Allied Molded 9331 Rough-In Box)
| Step 1. | Recommended mounting height to bottom of the rough-in box is 50” - 54”. Make sure mounting location is free of wall studs, wires, etc. |
| Step 2. | Place Rough-In box LEVEL against siding. Trace outline of box onto siding. Note: When mounting to 4 inch or less horizontal lap siding, the unit can be mounted horizontally (see page 5, section H) flush against siding or a siding mounting block can be used. Contact your siding Installer for the correct mounting block part number. Note: A siding mounting block is recommended when mounting to vinyl siding. |
| Step 3. | Cut a hole through the siding and wall sheathing just large enough for the rough-in box. Caution: Too large of a hole can cause plate misalignment and compromise the gasket seal. |
| Step 4. | The front surface of the Rough-In box can be mounted flush against wood siding or can be recessed and mounted flush against wall sheathing when mounting on aluminum, steel or vinyl siding. |
| Step 5. | When mounting to 5/8 inch thick or less wall sheathing the two attached screws with wing brackets can be used to secure the rough-in box. When mounting to surfaces thicker than 5/8 inch, four standard flat head dry wall screws can be used to secure the Rough-In box through its mounting ears (see page 4 section D). |
| Step 6. | To maintain a vapor barrier on outside wall applications, caulk around the box, filling any gaps between the box and the rough opening. Apply caulk to any holes in the box around wires, etc. |
C. Surface Mounting
A Viking model VE-3x5 can be used to surface mount an E-50 to a wall or post. Recommended mounting height to bottom of VE-3x5 is 50" - 54". Drill a small wire exit hole in wall. Pull wire through and seal hole around wire with putty or caulking. Route wire into the VE-3x5 box, securely screw it to wall or post and seal hole in box around wire with putty or caulking. Note: Conduit may also be used when surface mounting wire, but should not enter through the top of the VE-3x5. When routing wiring from above, a drip loop is required. WARNING: Do NOT use a typical "wet location box" as not all styles seal properly with the E-50 faceplate.
D. Mounting the Faceplate
After the Rough-In box or VE-3x5 is securely mounted, caulking between the box and rough opening is completed (if required), wires are connected, and camera is tilted and rotated to the desired position (as shown in section G). Remove paper liner from face plate gasket, while firmly holding the LED light pipe in the faceplate, carefully slide the faceplate gasket over the back of the light pipe and press gasket to the back of the faceplate. Push the 1-1/4" 6-32 screws through faceplate holes and small holes in gasket, the faceplate gasket should retain the screws. Position the circuit board mounting plate over screws. Align screws with single gang box bosses and tighten face plate until gasket is fully collapsed and the push button is protruding through the clearance hole in the face plate. Included 1/4" thick gasket will provide an adequate seal for most siding surfaces; however for rough surfaces (ie: brick, stucco, etc.) additional caulking may be required.

* Note: Up to 150 ft video cable run length can be achieved using CAT5E or CAT6 cable. Longer cable runs can be used if a passive or active video Balun transceiver is used on each end of the cable. Generally, passive transceivers can achieve up to 750 ft cable runs where active transceivers can achieve up to 3000 ft runs depending on cable type, etc. The type of video balun transceiver required is specific to your cable run length. For more information on video balun transceivers go to: www.northernvideo.com.
** Note: The maximum camera power supply wire run length is 1000 ft of 24 gauge wire (CAT 5/6), longer runs are possible by doubling pairs, increasing the wire gauge or using up to a 22V DC 200mA power adapter.
*** Note: RG59 or RG6 with solid center conductor and 95% bare copper braid shield.
Caution: When routing CAT5E or CAT6 cable, maintain a minimum distance of 3 ft from any parallel high voltage wire (110 VAC) and a minimum of 2 ft from crossing any high voltage wire. For installations where RF noise is expected (commercial applications) or wire runs are near high voltage (110 VAC) wires, a shielded video cable such as RG6 is recommended.
G. Adjusting the Camera
The camera can be tilted and rotated to your desired position. A portable service (test) monitor can be used to determine the correct viewing angle during installation.
Important: To prevent the edge of the faceplate from being viewed in the video image, do not rotate the camera beyond 30 degrees or tilt beyond 20 degrees.

Horizontal (Rotation) Adjustment +/- 30 degrees maximum Vertical (Tilt) Adjustment +/- 20 degrees maximumH. Repositioning the Camera when Mounting the E-50 Horizontal
(Requires Viking model LB-50 Camera L-Bracket - not included with the E-50)
When mounting the E-50 to 4 inch or less horizontal lap siding, the unit can be mounted horizontally. When doing so, the internal video camera will have to be repositioned (vertically rotated 90 degrees) to correct the video image orientation. An additional camera "L" bracket (Viking model LB-50) is required to reposition the camera. To purchase LB-50 contact your local Viking distributor.
To install the LB-50, remove the bottom #2 screw and lock washer which fastens the camera "U" bracket to the circuit board mounting plate. Remove the two screws mounting the camera to the "U" bracket. Rotate the camera 180 degrees so the video output wires exit the lower back plate of the camera and refasten it to the "U" bracket. Use the #2 screw and lock washer to attach the LB-50 "L" bracket to the mounting plate then attach the camera to the "L" bracket with the screw and lock washer supplied with the LB-50 as shown in the diagram. Note: Mounting the E-50 horizontally will reduce the camera horizontal adjustment to +/- 20 degrees and increase the vertical tilt to +/- 30 degrees.
* Caution: When mounting the camera horizontally on a model E-50-EWP, the single gang rough in box may require trimming to allow room for the new camera position.

A. Adjusting Speaker Volume
The speaker volume pot can be adjusted to increase or decrease the speaker volume to the level desired.
B. Adjusting the Microphone Volume
In certain noisy locations (background traffic, machinery or wind), the microphone volume may need to be decreased. A symptom of this is one-way talk path, in which the distant party cannot be heard over the speaker. A microphone volume pot is provided for increasing or decreasing the microphone volume. Note: If the microphone volume is set too high or too low, one-way talk path may occur.
C. DIP Switch Programming

Microphone Volume (see section B) Speaker Volume (see section A) DIP Switches ON ON OFF 1 2 3 4 Rear View of the E-50 Circuit Board Mounting Plate Note: Pots and B switches are shown factory default setting1. Auto Answer Feature ON/OFF (DIP Switch 1)
DIP switch 1 is for turning the Auto Answer feature ON and OFF. The E-50 is factory set to auto answer when an inbound call is detected.
2. Dial Tone Detection ON/OFF (DIP Switch 2)
With DIP switch 2 in the ON position, if the E-50 detects more than 5 seconds of continued dial tone, the unit will automatically disconnect. If the E-50 is installed on a continuously noisy line, it may detect the noise as dial tone and automatically disconnect. If this happens, turn the dial tone detection (DIP switch 2) OFF.
| Switch | Position | Description |
| 1 | ON | Auto-Answer ON * |
| 1 | OFF | Auto-Answer OFF |
| 2 | ON | Dial Tone Detection ON * |
| 2 | OFF | Dial Tone Detection OFF |
| 3 | ON | Programming Mode |
| 3 | OFF | Normal Operation Mode * |
| 4 | ON | LED On * |
| 4 | OFF | LED Off |
* Note: These are the factory settings.
3. Programming Mode ON/OFF (DIP Switch 3)
With DIP switch 3 in the OFF position, the E-50 is in the "Normal Operation Mode" (factory setting). By placing DIP switch 3 in the ON position, the E-50's programming mode is enabled. The programming mode is used for adjusting the Call Length Time Out, Silence Time for automatic disconnect and the Talk/Listen delay (VOX switching speed). These features are set from the factory and normally do not need adjustment. If adjustment is necessary, see Programming sections D - I.
4. LED On/Off (DIP Switch 4)
With DIP switch 4 in the ON position, the blue faceplate LED will remain on at all times (to help locate push button switch in dark locations), dim to indicate off hook and flash to indicate incoming ring. When connecting an E-50 to a C.O.line, turn the LED off to comply with FCC regulations.
D. Accessing the Programming Mode
The E-50 can be programmed from any Touch Tone phone using a telephone line, Viking model C-200, C-250, C-500 or C-2000B Entry Phone Controller, analog PABX/KSU station or a Viking model DLE-200B Line Simulator.
| Step 1. | Move DIP switch 1 to the ON position (sets unit to answer incoming calls - see section C). |
| Step 2. | Move DIP switch 3 to ON (incoming calls automatically enter the programming mode - see section C). |
| Step 3. | From a Touch Tone phone call the line attached to the E-50. |
| Step 4. | When the E-50 answers, 2 beeps will be heard and you will automatically enter the programming mode. |
| Step 5. | When finished programming, enter “0000” to exit programming and move DIP switch 3 back to OFF (see section C). |
E. Quick Programming Features
| Call length time out (1-9 minutes), 10 = disabled (factory set to 11111 = 5 minutes) | 0 | beep | 111... | beep beep |
| Silence time out for disconnect (10-90 seconds), 10 = disabled (factory set to 1111 = 40 secs) | 00 | beep | 111... | beep beep |
| Talk/listen delay (VOX switching speed) 0.1 - 0.9 seconds (factory set to 111 = 0.3 secs) | 000 | beep | 111... | beep beep |
| Forced hang-up command (used to exit programming and hang up the E-50) | 0000 | 3 beeps |
F. Programming Beeps
If a valid "Feature" is entered, a single beep will be heard and you will have 20 seconds to enter a "Time" value. If an invalid "Feature" (five or more zeros) or forced hang-up command (four zeros) is entered, 3 beeps will be heard and the E-50 will hang up. If a valid "Time" is entered 2 beeps will be heard and you will have 20 seconds to enter your next "Feature". If an invalid "Talk/Listen Delay Time" is entered (10 or more ones), 3 beeps will be heard and you will have 20 seconds to enter your next "Feature".
G. Call Length Time Out
This feature selects the maximum length of time that calls can be connected. Programmable in increments of 1 minute up to a maximum of 9 minutes. To disable the call length time out, program ten ones in the "Time" value location. With the call length disabled, the E-50 phone must rely on CPC, busy, silence or return dial tone to hang-up. Use the chart at the right. * Note: The factory default is 5 minutes.
Table A
| Time Value | Call Length Time Out | Silence Time Out | Talk/Listen Delay |
| 1 | 1 min | 10 sec | .1 sec |
| 11 | 2 min | 20 sec | .2 sec |
| 111 | 3 min | 30 sec | .3 sec* |
| 1111 | 4 min | 40 sec* | .4 sec |
| 11111 | 5 min* | 50 sec | .5 sec |
| 111111 | 6 min | 60 sec | .6 sec |
| 1111111 | 7 min | 70 sec | .7 sec |
| 11111111 | 8 min | 80 sec | .8 sec |
| 111111111 | 9 min | 90 sec | .9 sec |
| 10 or more | Disabled | Disabled | Error |
H. Silence Time Out
This feature selects the length of time that calls will remain connected without voice activity. Programmable in increments of 10 seconds up to a maximum of 90 seconds. To disable the silence time out, program ten ones in the "Time" value location. Use the chart at the right. * Note: The factory default is 40 seconds.
I. Talk/Listen Delay (VOX Switching Speed)
This feature selects switching time between talk and listen modes (VOX switching time). Use the chart above. * Note: The factory default is .3 seconds.
Operation
When the push button is pressed, the E-50 phone goes off-hook, much like a standard speaker phone. In the event that the line is busy, the E-50 will hang-up. The E-50 will also automatically hang up on CPC, silence, busy signal, return to dial tone or time out. If programmed to auto-answer (DIP switch 1 ON), the E-50 will also answer any incoming call.
The E-50 color video camera operates completely independently of the E-50 phone board. With power supplied to the camera, it will continuously output a video signal.
