5. Postavljanje i instalacija
This section details the physical installation and wiring of the RC-2A unit.
5.1. Jedinica prekoview i veze

Slika 1: Front view of the Viking RC-2A Touch Tone Controller, showing power input, line input, relay contacts, programming switches, and entry code dials. The unit is black with white labeling for each connection point and control.
Refer to Figure 1 for a visual representation of the unit's connections and controls. The RC-2A features clearly labeled screw terminals and rotary switches for configuration.
5.2. Upute za ožičenje
- Power Connection (Terminals 1-3):
- Terminal 1 (EARTH GND): Connect to earth ground for proper grounding.
- Terminals 2 & 3 (PWR IN/OUT 12-24V AC/DC): Connect your 12-24V AC or DC power supply to these terminals. Ensure correct polarity if using DC power.
- Telephone Line Connection (Terminals 4-5):
- Terminals 4 & 5 (LINE IN): Connect your standard touch tone telephone line to these terminals.
- Relay Contact Connection (Terminals 6-8):
- Terminal 6 (N.O. - Normally Open): This contact is open when the relay is de-energized and closes when energized.
- Terminal 7 (COM - Common): Ovo je zajednički terminal za relej.
- Terminal 8 (N.C. - Normally Closed): This contact is closed when the relay is de-energized and opens when energized.
- Connect your device to be controlled (e.g., door strike, light) to the COM terminal and either the N.O. or N.C. terminal, depending on your application's requirements.
5.3. Programming Switches and Entry Code Dials
The unit features a bank of programming switches and three rotary entry code dials for configuration:
- Programming Switches: These DIP switches (labeled 1-8) are used to set various operational parameters such as ring delay and relay closure times. Refer to the detailed programming section for specific settings.
- Entry Code Dials: Three rotary dials (labeled 1, 2, 3) are used to set the secure access code. Each dial can be set from 0 to 9, allowing for a 3-digit access code.
6. Operacija
Once the RC-2A is installed and powered, it is ready for operation. The unit answers an incoming call after a selectable number of rings and waits for a valid access code.
6.1. Setting the Access Code
The access code is set using the three rotary dials on the unit. Each dial corresponds to a digit of the 3-digit access code. For example, to set the code to 123, set Dial 1 to '1', Dial 2 to '2', and Dial 3 to '3'.
6.2. Setting Ring Delay
The ring delay determines how many rings the RC-2A will wait before answering an incoming call. This is typically set using one of the programming DIP switches. Common settings allow for 1, 2, 6, or 15 rings. Consult the specific switch configuration table (not provided in this general manual, refer to full product documentation) for exact settings.
6.3. Activating the Relay
- Dial the telephone number connected to the RC-2A.
- Wait for the unit to answer after the programmed ring delay.
- Once answered, enter the 3-digit access code using your phone's touch tone keypad.
- Upon successful entry of the access code, the relay will activate for the programmed closure time.
- The unit will automatically disconnect or return to a secure mode after 60 seconds of inactivity or after the relay activation cycle is complete.
6.4. Setting Relay Closure Times
The duration for which the relay remains activated can be adjusted using the programming DIP switches. This allows for customization based on the controlled device's requirements. Refer to the full product documentation for specific switch settings related to relay closure times.
7. Održavanje
The Viking RC-2A is designed for reliable, long-term operation with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:
- Uređaj održavajte čistim i bez prašine. Za čišćenje koristite meku, suhu krpu.
- Ensure the unit is installed in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and sources of excessive heat or cold.
- Povremeno provjeravajte sve ožičenja kako biste bili sigurni da su sigurna.
- Do not attempt to open the unit's casing, jer to može poništiti garanciju i izložiti vas opasnostima od električnog udara.
8. Otkrivanje problema
If you encounter issues with your RC-2A, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Rješenje |
|---|---|---|
| Jedinica se ne uključuje. | No power supply, incorrect voltage, loose connections. | Verify power supply is connected and providing 12-24V AC/DC. Check all power wiring connections. |
| Unit does not answer incoming calls. | Incorrect ring delay setting, telephone line not connected. | Check LINE IN connections. Verify programming switch settings for ring delay. Ensure the phone line is active. |
| Relay does not activate after entering code. | Incorrect access code, relay wiring issue, unit not recognizing tones. | Double-check the access code set on the rotary dials. Verify relay wiring (N.O., COM, N.C.). Ensure the phone is generating clear touch tones. |
| Relay activates for wrong duration. | Incorrect relay closure time setting. | Adjust the programming DIP switches for the desired relay closure time. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Viking Electronics customer support.
