Installing the VLC 302 Charger and Charging the Microphones The VLC 302 charges the microphone battery. It is powered by an external wall power supply (provided). The microphone battery requires up to 5 hours to charge fully. It is safe to charge for extended periods, but Extron recommends storing the microphone out of the charger with the battery removed.

Installing the VLR 302EB Receiver The VLR 302EB receiver outputs audio signals from the microphones as one balanced mono line level signal to a connected audio device. In dual microphone systems, the signals from the two microphones are mixed at the receiver and then output to the connected device. Connect the VLR 302EB as shown below.
Setting eBUS IDs Up to eight eBUS devices can be connected to one control processor. Each device connected to the same IPCP Pro control processor must have a unique BUS ID, which is set using the BUS ID DIP switches (see on the previous page).

Reference Information This section provides the following reference information: Mounting the VLR 302EB Receiver • • Firmware Resetting the VLR 302EB • Mounting the VLR 302EB Receiver Rack Mounting The receiver includes 1/8 rack mounting holes for mounting directly to a rack shelf or architectural enclosure that supports standard Extron mounting hole patterns.
Back of the Rack Mounting Options The receiver can be mounted to the rear of a rack using an optional back of rack mounting kit (see www.extron.com). The kit allows the product to be vertically mounted to the front or rear rack supports and face either the front or the rear of the rack.
Firmware All eBUS devices must have firmware that is compatible with the control processor. To ensure this, the eBUS device firmware is managed automatically by the control processor. Updates to the configuration file or product firmware are pushed to eBUS devices via the IPCP Pro control processor.
Resetting the VLR 302EB Follow the steps below to reset the VLR 302EB receiver using the front panel Reset button (see on page 16). The VLR 302EB may also be reset using the Product Configuration Software (see the help file for the VLR 302EB module within PCS). NOTE: All paired microphones must be turned off in order to properly reset the VLR 302EB receiver.
