Amplifiers/Power Supplies/Accessories The VCU6 amplifier/power supply is used with the S.T.R. video-intercom systems, for powering up to 30 (or less) video-intercom monitor/handset stations.
The Alpha Communications /S.T.R. VCU6 amplifier/power supplies are used with the S.T.R. video-intercom systems, to provide intercom amplification, power to operate the electric door opener(s) etc., and power to operate the video monitor units. The VCU6 units each require a 16VAC (40VA) and 12VAC (20VA) low-voltage Class II transformer for power. Use our Model #SS146 (16VAC) plug-in transformer and our Model #T12 (12VAC) plug-in transformer for each VCU6. These VCU6 amplifier/power supplies are designed to easily surface mount right onto the finished wall by means of customer supplied screws or the convenient plastic \’Din Rail\’ bracket supplied with each power supply. Connections are positive screw terminal type. The VCU6 is used for each 30 (or less) video-intercom monitor/handset stations on a system.

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications
The power supply/amplifier shall be Alpha Communications /S.T.R.
model VCU6, or approved equal. Amplifier shall operate from a 16VAC (40VA)
and 12VAC (20VA) U.L. Listed transformer (SS146 and T12). All wiring to power
supply/amplifier shall be low-voltage Class II wiring, installed as per all federal,
state, and local electrical codes. Power supply/amplifier shall surface mount right
to the finished wall and shall be installed in a suitable environment that is free
from excessive dirt, dust, temperature, humidity, grease and water. Power
supply/amplifier shall provide the intercom amplification and signaling power
for proper system operation. For most secure installation, power supply should be
installed into a lockable equipment cabinet/housing. Power supply/ amplifier
shall be installed a safe distance from any source of electrical interference.
