Installation
2 - 2 Verbatim Owner's Manual
If there are any green grounding wires in place on TS3 originating from
plug-in expansion cards, leave those green grounding wires in place on the
terminal marked GRN (Green). If the Verbatim autodialer turns on when
power is applied, turn it off with the red POWER ON/OFF key.
4. Connect dry (unpowered) contacts to the terminal strip connection points.
The connection point for basic four-channel units is terminal strip TS1,
located on the lower left of the main circuit board. Note that there are four
common return terminals marked “C”; any combination of these internally
grounded terminals may be used. Terminal strip TS1 may be unplugged
for convenience. All terminal points are screw clamp type, eliminating the
need for wire termination lugs.
The contact input wires should ideally be light (18 to 24 gauge) signal
wire rather than heavy power wire. This reduces problems of bulk and
stiffness.
5. If your unit has 8 or more inputs, the VX32 Channel Expansion Card
should be plugged into connector J4.
If your unit has this card installed, then use TS1 for common return
connections only, and connect one side of each contact to the appropri-
ately marked channel input number on the VX32 card. Leave TS1
terminals 1,2,3 and 4 disconnected.
Notes:
K The common return side of the contacts will need to be consolidated into
not more than four wires coming into the TS1 terminals marked “C”.
K Route the wires to the VX32 card so that they do not protrude above the
top of the card, other wise they will interfere with the front panel board
when the door is closed.
K Terminal strip TS1, and the terminal strips on the VX32 card if any, are
not removable terminal blocks. Be sure that the terminal strips do not
become unplugged due to wires being stressed when the door is closed.
1 Caution:
NO 120 VAC INPUT CIRCUITS! Please verify that the circuits you
connect to these inputs are "dry" (unpowered) and are not directly connected
to 120 VAC power. Connecting such circuits will damage the unit.
L Exception:
If your inputs are coming from a logic controller with TTL, CMOS or 5-volt
DC logic outputs, direct connection may be made as long as the controller has
the same electrical ground as the Verbatim autodialer.
