Valcom VM-150

1 Retrofit applications using heavy gauge speaker wire will require the Valcom VM-150 Screw Terminal Connection Block for head end speaker wire connections. Heavy gauge speaker wire does not punch down on 66 blocks. Note that 66 blocks are available in various configurations. The most common type for our purposes is a 66M1-50. Pre-terminated blocks may be used to expedite head end cutover time. These blocks typically connect to the Valcom MultiPath System through 25 pair cables terminated with female Amphenol connectors on both ends. One end plugs into the Valcom MultiPath System and the other end plugs into the pre terminated 66 block.

The quantity of 66 Blocks recommended for V-TCM//V-STX/V-URI cards allows for cross connecting station cables. This important wiring technique will result in labor savings with respect to future changes and maintenance.

2 Be certain to account for adequate backboard space for your configuration in all MDF and IDF locations. Each 66 block will require approximately 19”H x 7”W of backboard space.

Common Areas Common areas are those areas that are comprised of multiple one-way speakers (typically no talkback capability). Examples of such areas include hallways, cafeterias, gymnasiums and outside areas. Self-amplified speakers should be used for new common areas with all Valcom MultiPath intercom systems. One-way self-amplified speakers may be connected to V-TCM Talkback Intercom Expansion Cards (by adding an appropriate interface device per zone) or V-STX 24 Point One Way Paging Expansion Cards. V-STX cards, although better suited for one-way zones, are not necessarily required. If your application includes 10 or more one-way zones, or if the one-way zones will be called individually, then the addition of one or more V-STX cards should be considered. Ceiling speakers in common areas should be spaced at twice the ceiling height. Wall speakers should be spaced 20 feet apart and cover approximately 600 square feet each.

Valcom One-Way Speakers and Valcom MultiPathTM

There are 2 types of speakers commonly used with new Valcom MultiPath communications systems – 45-ohm talkback and One Way Self Amplified. Retrofit systems may use re tapped 25-volt speakers. 45-ohm talkback speakers are used in areas such as offices and classrooms where it is desirable to hear a response from individuals in the paged area. It is possible to connect up to two talkback speakers to each Valcom MultiPath talkback zone. Areas requiring more than 2 speakers, such as hallways and large common areas, may be accommodated through the use of Valcom One Way Self Amplified Speakers. Valcom One Way Self Amplified speakers offer many advantages in all public address system applications, but especially in the multiple zone applications inherent to Valcom MultiPath systems. These state of the art speakers and horns are available in many different styles, including our most popular and easy to install Lay In Ceiling Tile replacement. Valcom One Way Self Amplified speakers feature a point of amplification-matched amplifier built in to each and every speaker and horn. This ingenious design allows installers to utilize inexpensive Cat 3, 5, 6 UTP wire for the public address installation, typically eliminates costly conduit requirements, offers easy system volume balancing through built in volume controls, and facilitates multiple zones by eliminating zone restricting amplifiers. By following a few simple guidelines, adding Valcom One Way Self Amplified speakers to a Valcom MultiPath system is easy.

1) One-way self amplified speakers feature power and audio on separate pairs thus eliminating limitations commonly associated with systems that power and drive the speakers over a single heavy gauge, shielded pair of wires.

2) Zone audio, originating from the Valcom MultiPath system, is typically distributed to strategic locations, central to speaker locations, throughout a facility. These strategic locations are referred to as intermediate distribution frames (IDFs). Individual zone wire runs then feed from these IDFs to the individual talkback and one-way zones.

3) The power supplies used to power one-way self-amplified speakers should be located in the IDF locations, close to the speakers, thus facilitating the use of inexpensive 24 AWG UTP wire for both power and audio.

4) All Valcom One Way Self Amplified speakers and horns have a published “power unit” (VPU) requirement. Likewise, all Valcom power supplies have

of 44

a published “power units” provided rating. Selecting the right power supply or supplies for an IDF is as easy as adding up the individual “power unit” requirements of all of the speakers being served from the location. The selected power supplies simply need to provide enough VPUs for the speakers and horns connecting to the IDF. Power supplies, unlike amplifiers, are not zone dependant and may be used to power speakers in numerous zones without fear of cross talk.

Grand Total Power Unit Requirement 49 In the example shown, let’s assume that the speakers in zones 4, 5 and 6 will all be powered from a single IDF. The power supply selected for the IDF location must be able to provide at least 49 power units. 5) If one-way self-amplified speakers are being connected to a V-TCM

talkback station board simply add a V-LPT attenuator per zone. If one-way self-amplified speakers are being connected to a 25V station board simply add a V-1095 attenuator per zone. V-STX one-way station board outputs may be directly connected to up to 150 one-way speakers.

6) As in all systems, there are certain wire length guidelines that need to be observed. Make note of the fact that multiple pairs of 24 AWG wire may always be combined, or twisted together, to further enhance the distances shown in the charts.

7) Remember that the power supplies used with self-amplified speakers require AC power. Be sure to account for AC outlet availability (of adequate capacity) at all power supply locations.

Valcom One Way Self Amplified speakers are known for their dependability and longevity due to the efficient speaker matched amplifier design. This along with easy system balancing via built-in volume controls and the fact that speakers may be placed in any zone without common amplifier restriction make them the obvious choice for Valcom MultiPath applications.

An Explanation of MDFs, IDFs, RIDFs and EDPs Intercom systems or public address systems may be deployed by using analog, digital (VoIP) technologies – or a combination of both (hybrid). When designing intercom systems or public address systems, there are certain common considerations involved regardless of the technology deployed. One of those considerations is simply, where to locate the common equipment. Common equipment may include amplifiers, power supplies, system intercom cards or anything else that will be shared amongst multiple speakers. In wired systems, or subsystems, it is always advantageous to locate common equipment as close as practical to the speakers that it serves. This is why we use MDFs, IDFs, RIDFs and EDPs. MDFs are “Main Distribution Frames”. In an analog based Valcom system, the MDF is defined as the physical location where the CPU card will be installed. The MDF may also house other system circuit cards, power supplies for common equipment, clock correction equipment, etc. IDFs are “Intermediate Distribution Frames”. In an analog based Valcom system, IDFs are simply intermediate wiring termination points for classroom and hallway speakers, clocks, etc. on their copper journey back to the system circuit cards. IDFs often house power supplies for common equipment. RIDFs are “Remote Intermediate Distribution Frames”. In an analog-based hybrid Valcom system, the RIDF is defined as the physical location where Ethernet addressed circuit cards will be installed. RIDFs allow system circuit cards to be installed near the speakers that they serve. This eliminates expensive feeder cables. The system circuit cards installed in RIDFs are connected to the CPU card via Ethernet. RIDFs may also house power supplies for common equipment, clock correction equipment, etc. It’s important to realize that in order to facilitate close proximity of common equipment to the speakers that they serve, RIDFs often have there own satellite IDFs. In a true Ethernet based public address or intercom system, a.k.a. “Full IP system”, all of the speakers are simply endpoints on an Ethernet network. Often, however, Ethernet based systems will really be hybrid systems. This means that, in addition to the network endpoints, they will include analog devices such as clocks, self amplified speakers, amplifiers, etc.

EDPs, Ethernet Distribution Points (a.k.a. Ethernet IDFs), are simply wiring termination points for analog speakers, clocks, etc. EDPs often house power supplies and clock correction equipment for common equipment.

Using Main and Intermediate Distribution Frames

When designing a Valcom MultiPath intercom system distribution, serious consideration should be given to using a technique of main and intermediate distribution frames. A main distribution frame (MDF), required in every distribution design, is simply a location in the school where the main Valcom MultiPath intercom equipment will be installed. Typically, the MDF will contain either a 19” rack or a wall rack for housing the system cards, one or more power supplies and some number of 66 type connection blocks mounted on a ¾” plywood backboard. The 66 blocks connect to the system cards via Amphenol terminated 25 pair cables. These 66 blocks provide connectivity to all of the speaker outputs; call button inputs, music inputs, switch inputs, relay outputs and administrative ports. In a non-VoIP scenario, each common and talkback area (classrooms, etc) in a Valcom MultiPath system will ultimately need to be directly connected to these blocks. One technique for accomplishing this is certainly to homerun discrete cables from each classroom and common area directly to the MDF. This technique, although electrically sound, is not however, recommended. The recommended technique involves using a series of strategically located intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) along with the MDF. With this technique, the MDF’s 66 block connections are distributed to centrally located closets. These IDF locations typically contain ¾” plywood backboards and additional 66 type blocks. The distributed cables terminate on these remote 66 blocks. Discrete cables from the common or talkback areas in the general proximity of each IDF terminate on these remote 66 blocks. The IDFs may also contain volume controls and power supplies for common zones. In addition to better wire management and labor savings, IDFs provide a convenient point to monitor for audio should system trouble shooting become necessary. Connections from IDF locations to the MDF may be accomplished via 25 pair feeder cables, RIDFs or individual 4 pair cables. Due to variations in the quality of 25 pair cables, the safest choices for IDF to MDF connectivity are RIDFs or individual 4 pair cables. 25.5-volt speaker connections should be made with appropriately sized shielded wire. 20 AWG is adequate for 25.5-volt speakers used for talkback. 25.5 volt one way zones will require wire sized for acceptable loss vs. speaker load vs. distance.

This diagram shows the preferred method of cross connection field wiring from your IDFs or zones while only utilizing 2 66 blocks per station card. Note that this configuration does not utilize bridging clips but offers the flexibility associated with cross connect.

Connectivity for a single station card is shown. In cases where IDFs will serve more than 12 points (zones), distribution cables and an IDF 66 block will be required for each increment of 12 or less. Be certain to plan for adequate backboard space for system 66 blocks, power supplies, attenuators (volume controls) and wall racks.

V-TCM cards provide 24 45-ohm talkback zones and 24 call button inputs for your system. Each V-TCM can simultaneously accommodate talkback intercom communication to any of its zones plus up to 3 page (group/all call) announcements, or up to 4 page (group/all call) announcements. One-way self-amplified speakers may be connected to either V-TCM 24 Point Talkback Intercom Expansion Card or V-STX 24 Point One Way Paging Expansion Card speaker outputs. V-STX cards provide 24 one-way zones and 24 zone relays for your system. Each V-STX can simultaneously accommodate up to 4 page (zone/group/all call) voice announcements. One-way self-amplified speakers may be connected to either V-TCM 24 Point Talkback Intercom Expansion Card or V-STX 24 Point One Way Paging Expansion Card speaker outputs. V-STX cards, although better suited for one-way zones, are not necessarily required. If your application includes 10 or more one-way zones, or if the one-way zones will be called individually, then the addition of one or more V-STX cards should be considered. The VCRCA Remote Card Adapter allows Valcom MultiPath Station (V-TCM/V-STX) and Universal Relay Interface Cards (V-URI) to be remotely located in RIDFs. This capability allows users to design and install public address systems spanning multiple buildings or facilities connected through a switched, multicast enabled, 10/100 MB VLAN (refer to the VCRCA installation manual for details). Applications include educational facilities, intra-building communications, municipal alert/communications systems and applications where IDF cabling is impractical due to cost, distance, the presence of asbestos, etc. Up to 16 VCRCA Remote card adapters may be utilized in a single system to support up to 15 remote locations of a minimum of 24 stations/zones each. Used in conjunction with the Valcom MultiPath system, up to 360 two-way stations and/or one-way zones may be available.

of 44

In addition, the VCRCA Remote Card Adapter features TCP/IP distribution of up to 6 relay contacts to any combination of remote locations for use in remote clock correction, door control, camera activation, etc. It is strongly suggested that zones connected through VCRCAs (connected to RIDFs) and directly wired zones not be mixed in the same acoustic area. V-URI cards provide 8 door unlock relays, 72 programmable pushbutton inputs and 72 call assurance LED drivers each. V-URI cards are also required if your system will include ADA area of refuge stations. Dependant upon system capacity, it is possible to include up to 5 V-URI cards in your system.

Step 2 allows you to select system accessories. Large displays provide easily viewed call annunciation for administrative areas. The Program Distribution Panel provides easy end user control of Auxiliary music inputs,system control inputs and microphone. A modem will allow remote system programming through a telephone line connection. The Rack Mount Control Panel with AM/FM/CD may be added as a music source. If the system will be used to correct secondary clocks, simply choose each area whereclock correction will take place. If you are correcting secondary clocks from any RIDF,you must include clock correction capability for the MDF. Clocks correction methods are wireless, synch wired or Valcom 2-wire correction. IP clocksare also available. Correction to GPS satellites is available for wireless or Valcom 2-wiredigital. Synch wired correction is available for 24V and 110vac clocks. 110vac clocks shouldonly be used as replacements in existing 110vac clocks circuits. Use 24V for all newinstallations. If you check the “use existing clocks” option, you will not be prompted to addnew clocks.

New installations using45-ohm talkback andself-amplified one-wayspeakers benefit fromthe ability to usestructured cabling. 25-volt Retrofit systems,with existing wiring willtypically utilize 25-volttalkback and one way.

When users select 25/70V One Way Speakers, the system design tool willautomatically calculate the required power for the zone and will offer a list ofappropriate amplifiers to choose from. When users select Self Amplified One Way Speakers, the system design toolwill automatically calculate the required power for the zone, add it to thezone’s distribution frame and will offer a list of appropriate power supplies tochoose from. When users select IP Addressed Speakers, the system design tool willautomatically add the appropriate VoIP equipment. There is no limit for VoIPone-way speakers. Standard Valcom one-way self amplified speakers mayalso be connected to a distribution frame via VoIP.

If clock correction capability has been selected for the MDF or RIDFassociated with this zone, then you will be prompted to select the quantityand type of clocks that will be installed in the zone. Visitwww.valcomclocks.com for more information on clocks. Note that this clock selection screen will not appear if you have selected to use existing clocks (in step 2). When V-AW16LP or V-AW12LP clocks are selected, users must choose the desired operating voltage.
