When the Unit is in Use
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. Doing so may cause the
connected speakers to heat, resulting in a fire. (VP-2241 and VP-2421 only)
• Contact your TOA dealer as to the cleaning. If dust is allowed to accumulate in the unit over a long period of
time, a fire or damage to the unit may result.
• If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the wall AC outlet, a fire may result. Clean it periodically.
In addition, insert the plug in the wall outlet securely. (VX-2000DS and VX-200PS only)
• Switch off the power, and disconnect the power supply cord for safety purposes when cleaning or leaving
the unit unused for 10 days or more. Doing otherwise may cause a fire or electric shock.
3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VM-3000 Series Voice Alarm System is an integrated emergency/general announcement broadcast
systems.
The Voice Alarm System Amplifier that plays the central role in the system is available in two models: VM-
3240VA (240 W) and VM-3360VA (360 W). Using these amplifiers in conjunction with the VM-3240E (240 W)
and VM-3360E (360 W) Extension Amplifiers allows larger systems to be built.
4. FEATURES
• The VM-3240VA and VM-3360VA both have 6 speaker outputs. This can be expanded to up to 60 outputs
by combining the amplifier with its corresponding extension amplifier, the VM-3240E or VM-3360E,
respectively.
• Set data, log data and other Voice Alarm System Amplifier data can be accessed by way of the Ethernet.
• Up to 2 RM-300MF emergency broadcast Fireman's Microphones can be connected per Voice Alarm
System Amplifier. Further, up to a total of 4 general broadcast-use RM-200M microphones and RM-300MF
Fireman's Microphone can be connected.
• Connecting an external standby amplifier (VP-2241 and VP-2421) to both of the Voice Alarm System
Amplifier and its Extension Amplifiers VM-3240E and VM-3360E enables background music (BGM)/paging
broadcasts. The BGM/paging broadcast refers to simultaneous 2-channel broadcasts that allow paging calls
(microphone announcements) to be made over other zones without interrupting current BGM broadcasts.
• For systems employing the VX-2000DS Emergency Power Supply, only emergency broadcasts can be made
while backup power is being supplied by the VX-2000DS, even if the main power supply has been cut off.
• Easy-to-understand on-screen settings can be performed from a PC screen using the setting software.
• Audio inputs include inputs 1 – 4, a remote microphone input, an emergency remote microphone input, and
BGM inputs 1 & 2 (select either of the two).
• Control inputs and outputs include 6 inputs and 3 status outputs for emergency broadcasts, and 8 inputs and
8 outputs for general broadcasts. By adding extension amplifiers (up to 9 units can be connected), the
number can be increased up to 60 inputs for emergency broadcasts and up to 80 inputs and 80 outputs for
general broadcasts.
