VNS2210 Break Bell Controller - Quick Installation Guide

Overview & Wiring Diagram

The VNS2210 Break Bell Controller is a sophisticated electronic device that can operate as a stand-alone bell controller or be

expanded utilizing its built-in wireless controller. The unit can provide live voice PA capabilities, emergency alerts, and

receive wireless time synchronizations when integrated with other Visiplex wireless products.

The VNS2210 is designed to provide a replacement solution when compared to old mechanical bell systems by utilizing high

power speakers to play simulated bell tones or voice alerts. Using its built-in bell schedule, the VNS2210 can initiate up to

48 bell alerts for each day of the week. Each bell event is fully programmable to provide full flexibility with the weekly bell

schedule design.

In the event that the VNS2210 is needed to control an old mechanical bell system, the unit is equipped with a built-in relay

switch that can be used to activate a mechanical bell according to the VNS2210's built-in schedule.

The VNS2210 comes with two speaker audio ports that can drive a variety of indoor/outdoor speakers with impedance of 4-

32 Ohms and rated power of 10-100 Watts.

Visiplex offers a variety of indoor/outdoor speakers that have been chosen to work specifically with the VNS2210. Other

wireless devices such as our VS4500 Wireless PA controller can provide wireless voice announcements through the VNS2210

speakers to add even more value to the bell system. Please visit the Visiplex website at

information.

Follow these steps to install the VNS2210 unit:

Determine the installation location for the VNS2210 device. Consider the following when determining the

installation location:

A standard VNS2210 is equipped with an AC to DC power adaptor and requires a standard 110VAC or

220VAC power outlet. The power adaptor consists of a 6' DC power cable and a 6' AC power cord.

Consider these cable lengths and the distance between the power outlet and the VNS2210 device.

The speaker's location could be up to 150' from the VNS2210 location when using a good quality speaker

cable.

The VNS2210 devices should be protected from direct rain and snow, and if possible, from direct sun.

Outdoor installation should include an overhang or weather proof box to protect the VNS2210 device.
