NOTE:

The VNC 325 uses male connectors for the serial ports (A and B). You may

 

need an adapter.

 

 

 

ARemote port — Use this male 9-pin port on each VNC 325 to perform low level configuration of that unit only.

NOTE See “Serial Port Wiring“ on page 16 for the detailed serial port protocol and to wire this connector.

BRS-232 Over LAN port — Use this male 9-pin port to transmit and receive data across a network.

NOTE: The RS-232 Over LAN port also connects to the alarm relay in the codec.

The relay energizes whenever a critical alarm condition occurs (see RS-232 Over LAN Port“ on page 21 to wire the connector and “Filter settings panel“ on page 60 to set critical alarms).

CPower Connector — Connect the included 12 V power supply between this connector and a 100 VAC/240 VAC, 50-60 Hz source.

CAUTIONS: Always use power supplies specified by Extron for the codec. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the unit.

This unit is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS,” rated 12 VDC, 1.0 A minimum. Always

use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to a building structure or similar structure.
