[. . . ] Power Indicator LED On the left of the front panel, the VO-4 has a single LED that indicates power and connectivity status: 1. Not illuminated: The device is not powered. 2. Flashing green: The unit is receiving power but not data, or the unit has not been configured correctly. 3. Solid green: The unit is operational, has been configured and is receiving PoE. Signal LEDs Four LEDs located in the center of the front panel act as audio signal identifiers for the four input channels and are useful for setting optimum signal levels. Please see the table below for the signal mapping to each of the LEDs. Detailed metering of current output levels can be obtained in real time via the Vocia software interface. -3 -18 Red Clip Yellow Nominal -48 Green Threshold Red Signal above clip threshold > -3dBFS Yellow Signal above nominal but below clip threshold > -18dBFS < -3dBFS Green Signal above minimum but below nominal threshold > -48dBFS < -18dBFS Dark Signal below minimum threshold < -48dBFS 3 . Control LEDs The control LEDs signal the current state of the control I/Os. The first four are input status indicators, and the second four are output status indicators. They have three states: Yellow Relays are energized Green > input threshold 4 Dark Not active VO-4 rear panel cOntrOls BIAMP SYSTEMS Designed in Australia Assembled in USA N24138 Model VO-4 YEL:in use/conductor GRN:link/act Device ID GND Control Outputs Control Inputs Audio Outputs CobraNet® PoE IEEE 802. 3af Class 0 MSB LSB C NC NO C NC NO 1 2 C NC NO 3 C NC NO 4 1 2 3 4 10V (100mA) +1 +2 +3 +4 Device iD Network Connection Control Outputs Control inputs Audio Outputs Network Connection The VO-4 has one RJ45 connector that should be wired to standard copper Ethernet cabling to interface the VO-4 to a Vocia system via a PoE-compliant network switch. The RJ45 connector has two LEDs that indicate Ethernet link and network activity (see table below). The individual pins are labeled as follows: 1. (NC): normally closed (connected to C when relay is not energized) 3. (NO): normally open (connected to C when relay is energized) Control Inputs The Control inputs are labeled as follows: 1. (10V): 10V reference voltage (when used as a switch input, a switch must be connected between the input and logic common terminal) Audio Inputs Four plug-in barrier strip connectors provide analog audio signal output. The Vocia software enables a nominal output level of +4 dBu, 0 dBu, or -10 dBu to support a wide range of connection devices. All plug-in barrier strip connectors should be wired from left to right as follows: 1. ( ) Ground Ground Screw This screw provides a connection point to ground the chassis of the VO-4. The power supply to the VO-4 is sourced from PoE, which may have no connection to ground. The chassis of the VO-4 should be connected to a safety ground (main power supply ground) using the Ground Screw 7 VO-4 installatiOn Installation The VO-4 requires one 1. 75 inches (44. 45mm) high and 19 inches (483mm) wide rack space with 10 inches (254mm) depth. mounting the unit using four screws with washers will prevent marring of the front panel.
