Door stations is generally limited to 20. It is important that the power supply is properly matched to the size of the system. (See Power Supply Page 25) CAUTION: Failure to use Valet cable may cause problems with the performance of the system and will void warranty on the equipment.
LOCATION OF EQUIPMENT Master Station (Optional, Special Order Only) Where a master has been purchased as part of the system, it is generally located above the breakfast bar in the kitchen/family room at a suggested height of 55” from the floor to the center of the unit. As all wiring from other stations is generally terminated at the rear of the master, the walls should be no less than 2 ¾”...
Room Stations Careful consideration must be given to present and/or future layout of furniture so as not to locate stations in inappropriate positions. To avoid audio feedback, room stations should be kept at least 12 to 16 feet away from other stations. Never have more than one station in any one room and avoid mounting stations in the same wall cavity i.e.
Power Supply The power supply is usually located no less than 6 feet and not more than 16 feet from the point of connection at the System One Room Station. Suggested locations are kitchen cupboards, pantry, bedroom wardrobes etc. Because the power supply dissipates heat more effectively in a cool environment it is recommended that the supply not be located in the roof space of a dwelling.
Auxiliary Input Jack Optional accessory allowing music from an external source such as a Tape Deck, CD player or walkman to play throughout the Intercom System. Two different types of Input Jack are used: - Type A - For use with a Master Type B - for use without a Master The Input Jack should be installed in a wall near the location where the external music source is to be situated.
WHERE TO RUN CABLE Cables can be run either: In the roof space In false ceilings/bulkhead area Through and/or around external walls Under floors (subject to access being available) Note: Intercom cables should be run as far away from AC wiring as practicality permits.
WHAT CABLE TO USE ? General System One is designed to operate using 8 core cable however operation is also possible using 6 core cable with the disadvantage that music will be muted at all room stations while private communication is in progress.

Auxiliary Input Jack Optional Two different Input Jacks are available, each requiring different cabling. Type ‘A’ ( For use with a system incorporating a master) (Special Order Only) Run ‘2 core’ shielded audio cable from the master to the Input Jack. Type ‘B’...
MAXIMUM LENGTH FOR CABLE RUNS As stated in the previous section the system may be Star Wired from a central point or Loop Wired however the number of stations on a loop is governed by the length of the loop, and also whether or not a standby battery is being used in conjunction with the supply.

Green and orange wires are not used at door station. Tape green and orange wires back to white outer sheath of valet cable. Do not connect green and orange wires of door station cable at room station end. Tape back in same manner as above.
INSTALLATION OF AUXILIARY INPUT JACK - TYPE A ) (Special Order Only) For Systems With a Master a) INSTALLATION AT FRAME STAGE PRIOR TO LINING OF WALLS Secure wall mounting plate (PN155) to the stud wall adjacent to the power point intended for operating your Tape Deck, CD player etc, and pull the shielded cable through the opening of the plate.
INSTALLATION OF AUXILIARY INPUT JACK - TYPE B For Systems Without a Master a) INSTALLATION WITH TIMBER FRAME WALLS Cut out the wall lining so as to allow the circuit board to be recessed into the opening. Mark the mounting points and fit appropriate wall plugs. Pull the cable through the opening, strip the required wires and screw to the terminals of the input jack as indicated on the diagram.

WHITE SHIELD JUMPER INPUT JACK - TYPE A FOR SYSTEMS WITH A MASTER NOTE FOR INPUT JACK - TYPE B: JUMPER OPEN - For 8 wire systems - Allows music to play at rooms not involved in private communication. JUMPER BRIDGED - For 6 wire systems - Enables music to be muted while chimes or communication is in progress. NOTE: For 6 Wire Systems - Fit Jumper to L1 MUS2 (ORANGE) MUS1 (GREEN)
Pull the cables through the wall box. Strip back approximately 6” of the white insulation from all the Valet Intercom cables. Twist the wires together according to their colours and trim to equal length.

POWER SUPPLY Requirements A Regulated 13.8V DC power supply is required to power the system. The required current rating of the supply will vary depending on the size of the system and is equal to the sum of the current draw of each unit used. CURRENT DRAW - MASTER - 350 mA peak - STATIONS - 150 mA peak - AUX O-P BOARD - 60 mA per board...

Installing Power Supply Attach ‘figure 8’ wire from the master to the output of supply ensuring that polarity (+ve & -ve) is correct. NOTE: The trace on the output wires of a transformer cannot be relied upon to indicate +ve & -ve. Always use a multimeter to check polarity before making the final connection.
CONTROL VOLTAGE LOAD RESISTOR The fitting of a Load Resistor to the system is required to balance the Voltage Control Line so that communication is received by the appropriate station(s). Although a Load resistor is provided with each Room Station Only One Load Resistor is required for an entire system.
ROOM STATION CODING - VR102 For the purpose of Select Calling (Calling individual or grouped stations), each station must be allocated either a Single Digit or Double Digit number. If more than one station is allocated the same number, the stations having the same number will form a group.
Double Digit Coding Double Digit Format is a programming option intended for systems requiring from 9 to 24 select call channels. This format requires that two buttons be pressed in sequence for calling individual stations. Note: Double digit format is not compatible with the Current Master (VM101) and Previous model Room Stations (VR101).
DOOR STATION ADJUSTMENTS There are three adjustments on the door station which may require fine tuning after installation. NOTE: A flat bladed screw driver with a blade width of between 2mm and 2.4mm is required for these adjustments. The use of an incorrect screw driver will result in the pot being damaged. Door Station Volume Speaker volume at the door station is adjusted by means of a miniature trim pot (VR1) located in the center of the circuit board.

USING TWO MASTERS Two masters can be used in situations for example where a main house and a granny flat require to be connected in terms of communication but independent in terms of radio operation. In this situation one master remains on the standard code setting of ‘1’ and the other master is set to No ‘2’...
SIX WIRE OPERATION USING VR102 ROOM STATIONS Although System One is designed to operate optimally using 8 wire Hook-up, it will also operate using 6 wire hook-up with the trade off that music will mute at all stations during private communication. (With 8 wire hook-up music only mutes at the 2 stations involved in communication) To operate a system using 6 wire hook-up, the following is required.
CABLE FUNCTIONS POS (RED) 13.8 VDC - May measure from 11V to 13.8V with respect to 0V depending on voltage drop due to cable length. NEG (BLACK) 0 VDC TIMER CONTROL - Holds receiving stations on line for period controlled by initiating station.
