Installation/Connection Cabling Category 3 or 5 twisted pair cable is recommended for all Valcom distributed amplified paging installations. Screw terminals are provided for the basic connections. RJ45 jacks are provided for chaining multiple V-9964 units together. Removing the narrow right side panel of the V-9964 provides access to controls, connections and option switches. To remove the panel, loosen the two screws holding the panel in place and lift the panel. Mounting The V-9964 may be wall mounted or rack mounted in a standard 19 inch equipment rack using the brackets included. Connections See Figure 1 for a connection diagram. Tip 1, Ring 1 INPUT 1 is the normal Primary or Call Stacker system input, and connects to a Loop Start Trunk Port, 600 Ohm Page Port or some Valcom Page Controls. Note: Do not connect to a C. O. Line. Control Input 1 Provides contact closure activation when using a Page Port. Tip 2, Ring 2 INPUT 2 is the Override page or Call Stacker line two input. If desired, connect this to a second Loop Start Trunk Port or Page Port. Note: Do not connect to a C. O. Line. Provides contact closure activation when using a Page Port. Background Music Input Connection for external line level music source (Example: V-2952, FM Tuner). NOTE: If using multiple V-9964 units in a chained configuration, all speakers must connect to the output of the last unit in the chain. Line Out Output connections to Valcom amplified speakers or 70 Volt amplifier Aux input. Loop Out Connects to Tip and Ring input on a Valcom multi-zone page control unit. Expansion In RJ45 connection from the previous V-9964 in a chained configuration. Expansion Out RJ45 connection to the next V-9964 in a chained configuration. Closing a switch connected to pin 7 and pin 3 of either Expansion In or Expansion Out will hold all queued recorded messages, on all linked V-9964s. During this time, additional messages may still be recorded into the V-9964(s). Once the switch is opened, all queued messages, including DTMF, will play in their entirety. Abort To abort a message during play, connect an external relay contact across the two abort terminals. NOTE: To abort a message during the record sequence, press any DTMF button on the dial pad of the access telephone. Relay Closure Outputs (PLAY) PLYSW and PLYMK Normally open relay contact that closes while a message is being broadcast. (RECORD) RECSW and RECMK Normally open relay contact that closes while a message is being recorded
