High Power IP Talkback Paging Horn
INTRODUCTION
The VIP-142-IC IP Paging Horn is an
InformaCast compliant, weather-resistant, high-
efficiency horn supporting multiple audio and
control protocols, all delivered via a PoE-
enabled IP network. A separate microphone
facilitates full-duplex talkback communication.
The high-impact Polycarbonate construction
resists the deteriorating effects of outdoor
installation.

FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area may cause
harmful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at
one’s own expense.
INSTALLATION
Mounting
The VIP-142-IC is shipped with two screws
holding the mounting base to the horn. Remove
the two screws and save them for reassembly.
Pull the metal base away from the horn to
separate them. The base can be mounted to a
single-gang or double-gang electrical box,
directly to a surface (wall) or clamped to a
structural I-beam. When mounting vertically,
note the “UP” indicator on the base to orient it
correctly. The horn is mounted to the base after
the base is properly secured. Gaskets and
grommets are provided to enhance weather
resistance.
Wall or Surface Mounting
Install the network ethernet cabling to the
mounting location. If using the call switch input
and/or relay output of the VIP-142-IC, install the
cabling for those connections. Route the cables
through the large gasket (if used) and then
through the back of the mounting base. Install a
split grommet around the ethernet cable and call
switch/relay wiring and press into the mounting
base holes. If not using the call switch/relay
wiring, use the solid grommet plug to fill the
extra hole. See Figures 1 and 2.
If using the relay or call switch, make wiring
connections to the screw terminals on the
mounting base. The terminals are labeled for
the Relay Normally Open (NO) and Common
(COM) and the Call Switch In and Ground.
For mounting to an electrical box, use the four
#6-32 screws (included) to attach the mounting
base to the box, as shown in Figure 3.
For mounting to a solid surface, such as a wall,
use appropriate hardware to attach the
mounting bracket to the surface. See Figure 4.
I-Beam Mounting
A C Clamp is provided for mounting to the
flange of an I-Beam. Attach the C Clamp to the
metal mounting base using the ¼-20 x 3/8”
machine screw through the hole in the center of
the base. Install network ethernet cabling and
call switch/relay connections as noted in the
Wall or Surface Mounting instructions above.
Attach the base to the I-Beam by sliding the C
Clamp over the I-Beam flange and tightening
the screw securely. See Figure 5.
If not using the C Clamp, a rubber plug is
provided to fill the hole in the base.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade and the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
Ne pas contourner le dispositif de sécurité de la fiche polarisée ou de mise à la terre. Une
fiche polarisée possède deux lames dont une plus large que l'autre. Une fiche de terre a
deux lames et une troisième broche de mise à la terre. La lame large et la troisième
broche sont fournies pour votre sécurité. Si la fiche fournie ne rentre pas dans votre prise,
veuillez consulter un électricien pour le remplacement de la prise obsolète.
10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture and does not operate normally or has
been dropped.
Confiez toute réparation à un personnel qualifié. Une réparation est nécessaire lorsque
l'appareil a été endommagé de quelque façon. Par exemple lorsque le cordon
d'alimentation ou la fiche est endommagé, du liquide a été renversé, si des objets sont
tombés dans l'appareil ou le appareil a été exposé à la pluie ou à l'humidité et ne
fonctionne pas normalement ou s'il est tombé.

With the mounting base securely installed, the
IP Horn can be attached to the base. Note the
socketed connectors on the horn and base, and
make sure they line up properly before pressing
the two together. Use the four #8-32 x 1 ¼ “
screws to attach the horn to the mounting base.
Reset Modes
Resetting the horn programming back to
Factory Defaults can be performed by
connecting/disconnecting the PoE connection
(power) in a specific sequence.
Connect the network cable (PoE) and let the
VIP-142-IC begin to boot up. After 45 seconds,
disconnect the ethernet cable. Repeat this
action 9 more times, for a total of 10 starts. On
the next boot up, the VIP-142-IC will reset all
configuration items (including the password) to
factory default settings.
Setup
The VIP-142-IC will automatically acquire an IP
address (using DHCP) and connect to the
InformaCast server when connected to the
network and powered up. Information specific to
your application will need to be programmed
into the InformaCast server. Refer to the
InformaCast documentation for further
information.
Additional programming for non-InformaCast
functions can be programmed using the Valcom
IP Solutions Setup Tool. The free IP Solutions
Setup Tool can be downloaded from the Valcom
website at www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
