VCX-150 Overview

Image 1: VCX 150 Schematic

Overview

Vista Group's VCX 150 is a compact, easy way to offer automatic volume control and reset.

The VCX150 is designed to be used with an external audio source such as a typical mp3 player; UP/DOWN

push buttons for raising and lowering volume; and a low power speaker or headphone jack.

The volume resets automatically to midrange by setting the VCX 150 to one of the modes below: list

Power off when making changes to dip switch settings and connectors. Reapply when all connections are

complete otherwise settings will not activate.

Cautions

Always use shielded Line Level audio input. Amplified Speaker level may damage unit. Start at low volume.

Increase volume to maximum with Volume UP button and then increase volume on player to maximum

desired.

Always connect speaker output directly across supplied terminals. Connecting speaker to ground may damage

unit.

connections and switches.

DIP Switch Configuration

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

12 3 4 56 7 8

Application Example

The VCX150 Start Switch Mode automatically resets volume and can

program at mid-range and adjust volume while listening, but not

annoy the next visitor by leaving the level too high or too low.

relay. For lighted push button use COM, START, AUX.

Operating Mode

and resets volume of audio program. If CONT 1 and CONT 2 are

connected to audio source, VCX150 will start audio program.

Mute Mode –

For Normally Open Non-Momentary Switch

Turn off power before changing

connections and switches.

DIP Switch Configuration

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

12 3 4 5 67 8

Application Example

The VCX150 mute mode automatically reduces volume to barely audible.

When a visitor lifts an exhibit audio handset that triggers a NO non-

momentary switch starting a player, the visitor can adjust the volume

with push buttons on the display (or on the handset). If the visitor

returns the handset to the control element before the program ends,

volume will diminish to nearly mute until the program stops or another

person triggers the switch resuming the program at mid-range level.

Operating Mode

VCX volume reset program. When switch closes, playback volume is set

to barely audible.

1 2 34 5 6 7 8

12 3 45 6 7 8

NO continuous switch act like a common momentary push button and

trigger the volume reset program. While audio content plays, user can

adjust volume up or down.

Switch Double Echo Mode -

For Normally Closed Non-Momentary

Turn off power before changing

settings and switches.

DIP Switch Configuration

1 2 3 45 6 7 8

12 3 5 67 8

Application Example

The VCX150 switch double echo mode performs two automatic

volume resets and can start/stop the playback device. A visitor lifting a

SOUNDSTIKvcx-NC from its Hanger Mount automatically starts the

audio program at mid-range volume. Replacing the SOUNDSTIKvcx in

the holder resets volume and stops or resets audio playback

depending upon player set up.

Operating Mode

The VCX150 inverts the activated condition of the NC switch

generating the initial reset and then acts as output relay. For

automatic start/interrupt controls, the “start” and “com” ports have to

be connected appropriately to client’s device (audio or video).If a hang-

up detect program is not connected, the sound won’t automatically

reset until the SOUNDSTIKvcx is picked up again.

Volume adjustment is relative

15 dB + or – from input level.

Compatible with small,

efficient speakers, generic

handsets and SOUNDSTIKvcx.
