CHAPTER 2
PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION
Section I. FAMILIARIZATION
2-1. GENERAL.
This section will familiarize you with the VR240. You will learn how to format media, monitor live
communications, begin the record process, enable/disable channels for playback, adjust the
speaker volume, and scroll between the two archive drives and the internal hard disk. It is
recommended that the initial setup be done prior to installing the unit in its permanent operating
location. Chapter 3 of the Operator’s Manual discusses the detailed configuration procedures
for setting up your unit at your facility.
NOTE
It is assumed in this section that you have an audio input signal
available to connect to the Channel One input of the VR240.
2-2. INITIAL SETUP.
2-2.1 Telephone Board Connection (Phoenix Connector).
Locate an active telephone line in the area you are working.
Connect the telephone line “tip” lead to pin 15 and the “ring” lead to pin 16 of the 16 contact
input connector provided with the unit (note: input is not polarity sensitive). See Figure 2-1.
2-2.2 Audio Board (Amphenol Connector).
Obtain an approximately “line level” signal source. (Something as simple as a “Walkman” or
portable CD player will do.)
Connect the signal source line output to pins 1 and 26 of the top connector on the rear of the
VR240 (using the male 50-pin connector provided). See Figure 2-1.
2-2.3 Additional Hardware.
One blank medium per drive is provided with each VR240. No other hardware is necessary for
this exercise. Monitor the VR240 with its internal speaker. You can also use a set of
headphones (with a mono or stereo phono plug).
