1. V-Series Panel Hardware, Installation & maintenance

2. This module covers the installation aspects of the V-Series. For operational and general features, refer to the V-Series manual. SAFETY ► WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Apart from fitting the AES-3 daughter card, there are no user serviceable units within the V-Series. ►For proper ventilation, make sure ventilation openings are not blocked ► Mains AC Power Each V-Series has an external power supply, with a removable DC power cord. The power supply is “universal,” operating over a voltage range of 90 to 245 VAC and 50 to 60 Hz. The maximum dissipation is 40 W. ►The external power supply which may be mounted in a clip on the back of the panel or located away from the panel. If the power supply is not mounted in the clip on the rear of the panel the clip can be detached to save space by removing the two mounting screws. ► Adjustments No initial adjustments are required to set up the panels other than the standard input level adjustment made through the Eclipse EHX Configuration System. ► Configuration Assign each panel’s name and other parameters by using the Eclipse EHX Configuration System. For instructions, see the Eclipse EHX Configuration System Manual. More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

3. ► Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at the rear of the panel’s chassis to allow for cable connectors and access to the rear-panel controls. ► AES-3 daughter card can be fitted into the V- panel More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

4. PANEL TO MATRIX CONNECTIONS. The V series panel can be cabled to the matrix in a number of ways  ANALOGUE-CAT5. The panel to matrix run length can be up to 1kM (5/8 mile). Using a straight CAT5 (STP) cable  COAX- using 75ohm video cable using the AES-3 daughter card fitted to the panel. The maximum distance is 500m. Can also provide 2 audio channels (matrix1, matrix 2) to / from the panel. The V-panel must be connected to a AES-6 interface card at the matrix end  DIGITAL-CAT5 using CAT5 cable using the AES-3 daughter card to the panel. Using 120 ohm CAT5 cable. The maximum distance 200m. This method allows the panel to be routed via AES-3 backbone infrastructures. Can also provide 2 audio channels (matrix1, matrix 2) to / from the panel. The V-panel must be connected to a AES-6 interface card at the matrix end  IP using the Ethernet connector on the rear of the panel. The maximum distance 100m from a Ethernet switch. This method allows the panel to be routed via the IP infrastructure. The matrix must be fitted with a IVC-32 card. More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

5. PANEL TO MATRIX CONNECTIONS. ANALOGUE CAT5 cable (1000m) ANALOGUE CAT5 cable AES-6-CX IMF card COAX cable (500m) ANALOGUE CAT5 cable AES-6-RJ IMF card IP CABLE cable (100m) IP CABLE Using IVC-32 card (200m) CAT5 cable More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

6. Comms Module. At the rear of the V-Series, the comms module contains two RJ45 connectors. The RJ45 EtherCONN is for matrix connection, while there is a separate connection to an expansion panel. Pair 1 Audio output from Matrix to panel Pair 2 RS-422 data input from panel to Matrix Pair 3 Audio input from panel to Matrix Pair 4 RS-422 data output from Matrix to panel ► The pinning for the cable(s) to expansion panel(s) is a straight CAT5 (STP) cable More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

7. V Series main panels have an industry standard RJ45 socket allowing up to eight V Series expansion panels to be daisy chained from it ► Maximum 5 meters between any two panels ► Maximum 7.5 meters in total length of all expansion cables More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

8. AUXILIARY AUDIO CONNECTOR The auxiliary audio connector allows additional audio inputs and outputs to be connected to the panel. These can also be accessed by the internal DSP audio mixer via EHX The local Aux audio connector offers the following ► 2 nd Headset (mic and ears) ► External 1 input / output (line level) ► External 2 input / output (line Level) ► Aux LS output (line level) ► Hot Mic output (line Level) More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

9. AUXILIARY GPIO CONNECTOR The auxiliary GPIO connector allows additional relays and footswitches to be connected to the panel. The local GPIO offers the following ► 2 GPO relay outputs ► EHX – MUTE relay ► EHX – AUX relay ► 2 programmable GPI relay inputs ► 3 rd GPI relay inputs for (reply key) ► 4 th GPI relay input for (listen again) GPI wiring procedure ► To operate GPI Relay #1 input (A1/B1). Using a footswitch or similar ► Wire the footswitch to pin 9 and pin 10 of DB-25F ► Wire a jumper link from pin 21 to pin 22 of DB-25F ► The Panel GPI Logic#1 functions are accessed via EHX software More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

10. HEADSET CONNECTORS The headset connector may be one of three types; XLR-4M (default), XLR-5F or XLR-7M. Clear-Com offers different length gooseneck microphones ► 110/100 (100mm) ► 110/340 (340mm) – default ►110/490 (490mm) More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION

11. HEADSET CONNECTORS The headset connector may be one of three types; XLR-4M (default), XLR-5F or XLR-7. More details are available in the V-series Instruction Manual V-SERIES PANEL HARDWARE- INSTALLATION
