Frequently Asked Questions - VP-6124-UPS Valcom

What is the input voltage for the VP-6124-UPS?

The standard VP-6124 model uses 115 VAC, 60 Hz. For 230 VAC, 50 Hz operation, use the VP-6124-E variant. The UPS function requires an optional remote battery control.

How many outputs does the VP-6124-UPS have?

It has three independent 24 VDC outputs, each fused at 2 Amps with auto-reset polyswitches, for a total capacity of 6 Amps.

Can the outputs be connected in series or parallel?

Outputs may be paralleled for higher current, but must not be series connected. Paralleling requires load distribution not exceeding 2 Amps per terminal.

How do I install the VP-6124-UPS?

Mount the unit on a wall using the included bracket within 7 feet of an AC outlet. Connect equipment to the screw terminals using CAT-5 wire. Allow a 3-second power-up delay.

What does the LED indicator mean?

A steady LED indicates normal operation. A pulsing LED indicates reset mode due to a short circuit or overload. Remove the fault to restore normal operation.

Does the VP-6124-UPS include a battery?

No, the battery is optional and external. The VP-6124-UPS provides a remote battery control interface for connecting an external UPS battery to maintain output during AC power loss.

What types of devices can be powered?

It is designed for Valcom page control units, one-way amplified speakers, or any device requiring 24 VDC filtered talk battery up to 6 Amps total.

How do I troubleshoot no output?

First, verify AC power at the receptacle. Then disconnect the DC load and measure output with a VOM. If still no output, check fuses and input connections.

What are the protection features?

The power supply includes short circuit protection, over voltage clamping at ~28V, current limiting, and auto-reset fuses on each output for overload recovery.

Is the VP-6124-UPS field repairable?

No, Valcom equipment is not field repairable. Contact Valcom technical support at [phone] or return the unit to Valcom for service under warranty.

24 VOLT DC SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY

INTRODUCTION

These instructions provide the specifications, installation and maintenance information for the VP-6124 and VP-6124-E, 24 Volt 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.

Precautionary Notes:

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.
