Setup Instructions

Verify Compatibility: Before connecting, ensure your device requires a 12V DC power input and draws no more than 400mA. Check your device's specifications or user manual.
Connect to Device: Insert the DC barrel connector from the VP-412A power supply into the corresponding power input port on your Valcom device. Ensure a secure connection.
Connect to Power Outlet: Plug the power supply's AC prongs into a standard 120VAC 60Hz wall outlet.
Power On: Once connected, your device should receive power. Refer to your device's manual for specific power-on procedures.

Operating the Power Supply

The Valcom VP-412A power supply operates continuously when plugged into an active AC outlet. It provides a stable 12V DC output to the connected device. There are no user-adjustable settings or controls on the power supply itself.

Always ensure the power supply is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the device.
To disconnect power, unplug the power supply from the wall outlet first, then disconnect from the device.

Maintenance and Care

Keep the power supply clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
Store the power supply in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Inspect the cable and connector periodically for any signs of damage. If damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the unit.

Troubleshooting

If your device is not receiving power, consider the following:

No Power to Device:
- Ensure the power supply is firmly plugged into a working wall outlet. Test the outlet with another device.
- Verify the DC barrel connector is fully inserted into your device's power input.
- Confirm that your device is compatible with a 12V DC, 400mA power supply. Using an incorrect power supply can prevent operation or cause damage.
- Check the power supply cable for any visible damage (cuts, kinks).
Device Malfunction: If the device powers on but malfunctions, ensure the power supply's voltage and current ratings match your device's requirements precisely. Incorrect voltage or insufficient current can lead to unstable operation.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Valcom customer support or a qualified technician.
