5 Installation Mains supply connection Relay contacts Figure 2 Prior to mounting the ViLX-228S Master Station, it should be decided if the field wiring is to be run on the surface or concealed. There are 14 knockouts on the top and 2 slotted entries with a dedicated mains supply entry at the rear. If a knockout is removed by mistake, fill the hole with a good quality cable gland.
5.1 Connecting the ViLX-228S Master Station To comply with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) regulations and to reduce the risk of electrical interference in the system wiring, the use of fire-resistant screened cables is recommended throughout the installation. All wiring should come into the enclosure via the knockouts provided and be fixed tidily to the relevant terminals. Note that correct cable glanding is essential.
A ViLX-228S Master Station requires one number 12V 7AH valve regulated sealed lead acid battery. The battery is not supplied with the ViLX-228S Master Station. Vox Ignis recommend a Yuassa NP7-12 Safety Information: Sealed Lead Acid batteries contain sulphuric acid which can cause burns if exposed to the skin.
5.6 Outstation Connections The ViLX-228S Master Station is equipped with at least one number Dual line card. One outstation per line output can be connected. If no outstation is connected to the line output, then an end of line 10kΩ resistor should be fitted. The dipswitch located on the rear of the door mounted Display PCB is used for configuration see 6.1 The following devices are available on the system: Type A (fixed phone)

5.6.4 Accessible Toilet connection via Type B outstation It is possible to connect the Assist Call ACA Kit to the Vox ignis Type B outstation. The kit is connected as shown in the schematic in Error! Reference source not found., it is connected to the EOL Out terminal. It must be wired using the same integrity cable as the type b outstation to meet BS 5839-9:2021.
5.6.5 Fire telephone jack type connection The system is fully compatible with Vox Ignis range of jack points and roaming phones. Connections for standard ViLX-OSJ jack points Figure 10 Figure 9 Figure 11 Connections for ViLX-OSJ-S jack point with switch contact output. There are 2 x sets of terminals for In and Out connections, the wiring is polarity conscious.
6 Set up procedure The ViLX-228S Master Station has various site configurations which are configured using the dipswitch located on the rear of the Display PCB. Figure 13 6.1 ViLX-228S Master Station Display PCB Dipswitch Settings Line Line Line Line Reserved Remarks 1&2...

There are 2 lines per Line Card. Before adding a Line Card, ensure that the ViLX-228S Master Station is not powered.
7.3 Panel Indicator Test To test the panel indicators, enter either the access level 2 (code: 1664) or access level 3 (code: 1812) menu, then press zone button 2. All LEDs will illuminate in a predefined sequence, and the buzzer will sound. Press zone button 8 to stop the panel indicator test and to return to the menu options.
Enter the access level 3 code (1812), then press button 5 to enter this mode. The magenta zone indicators from 1 to 8 will be illuminated depending on selection. When the required selection has been made press button 8 to exit this mode.
intermittent. This change in indication and buzzers during the acknowledge phase indicates to the WC user that help is on the way. 8.7 Accepting Faults Before accepting faults, the fault must be noted in the log book, along with the time the fault was reported. To accept the fault, enter either the access level 2 (code: 1664) or access level 3 (code: 1812) menu, then press zone button 1.
