Viking's Complete Self Amplified Paging System:

Pump Up / Down the Volume - Room by Room

 

Viking’s SA-25 drives up to 25 self amplified speakers, and the hand-held remote control lets employees control the volume.

 

 

Install Viking’s SA-1S self amplified speakers and click the up/down arrows on the SA-IR remote control (included with SA-25) to adjust background music and paging volume on a per-room basis. The speaker beeps with each button press, giving you audible volume feedback even if there’s no background music (or page) playing at the time.

 

The most versatile paging system ever!

 

Manufacturers usually refer to their product as a "system" just so they can lock you into buying all of their accessory components. Not Viking! We designed the SA-25 paging control unit to install as a new unit, a direct retrofit replacement for your existing 4-wire legacy system, or to expand your present system. To replace your existing amp, just connect all the 4-wire speakers directly to the terminals on the SA-25. To expand, just add the SA-X12 and Viking’s 2-wire SA-1S self-powered speakers (or SA-1H self powered speaker horns).

 

The SA-25 provides paging, loud ringing, and background music when connected to electronic 1A2 key systems, PBX’s, No-KSU phones, multi-line phones, as well as IP phone systems with an analog FXS or FXO port.

 

Connect the SA-25 to a paging port, an unused telephone line input (trunk port), a ringing C.O. line, Centrex line, analog PABX/KSU station port, or the IP FXS or FXO port.

 

For loud ringing, connect the SA-25 to a ringing analog line or a dry contact closure. Select an electronic warble or one of the three soft chime tones built into the control unit. Then connect an external “night transfer” switch to control loud ringing in night bell applications.

 

The SA-25 powers up to 25 self-amplified SA-1S ceiling speakers or SA-1H self-amplified horns. The SA-IR remote control allows users to set the volume on a speaker-by-speaker basis. If you need more speakers, simply use the SA-X12 to add up to 12 Viking self amplified speakers at a time.

 

 

Daisy chain up to 25 self-amplified speakers throughout the building using just a 2-wire (non-polarity sensitive) hookup. This simple installation saves time and wiring materials.

 

The smartest paging system ever!

 

You know how time consuming it is to connect speakers in a 4-wire legacy system. Each one has to be manually wired to the background music or paging-only zone. Then an installer has to crawl up a ladder in each room and adjust the volume for each speaker. Later, if the user changes their mind about which rooms get paging and background music, someone has to manually rewire the zones. So legacy systems require a ladder climb every time users want to change any speaker’s volume or features.

 

The Viking SA-25 eliminates all that messing around. Just move the dip switch on the SA-25 to Smart Mode and give the user an SA-IR remote control unit (one SA-IR included, additional units available). The SA-IR remote allows users to adjust the volume level at any time - without a ladder. Just point it at the speaker and press the volume up/down buttons. The beep tone between button presses gives you audible feedback on the new volume level. To instantly kill background music; just press the MUTE button while the music is playing. To permanently kill paging for that speaker, just press the MUTE during a page. Press the MUTE again to reinstate paging. No other system offers such flexibility.

 

 

Press the MUTE button to instantly kill background music but allow pages. Press MUTE during a page to totally mute the speaker. Or, press the volume down button to fully turn down music, pages, and loud ringing.

 

Easy to Install - Easier to Use!

 

Forget about those old fashioned 4-wire polarity and zone-sensitive sensitive hookups. Viking’s SA-25 runs power and sound over a 2-wire cable run. And the speaker hookups are non-polarity sensitive, so even a rookie trainee can wire them.

 

 

Install the SA-1S speakers and use the SA-IR remote to program the features on a room-by-room basis (without climbing a ladder). Users can change the speaker features and volume levels in each room just by aiming the SA-IR and clicking either the volume up/down or MUTE buttons.

 

 

Viking's Self Amplified Products:

 

Model SA-25

 

The SA-25 can directly drive up to 25 self amplified speakers. Speakers can be the Viking model SA-1S self amplifier ceiling speaker, the Viking model SA-1H self amplified paging horn (pending). The SA-25 is backwards compatible with the older legacy Valcom and Bogen self amplified speakers, or any combination of the above. The Viking self amplifier speakers have the added advantage of only requiring a one pair wire loop to install all the non polarity sensitive speakers.
 

Model SA-X12

 

The Viking SA-X12 expander / adapter is an economical way to expand an existing paging system, while adding remote control to the new speakers. The SA-X12 can be connected to any existing paging audio source including 600 ohm line level, 4, 8, or 16 ohm speaker level, or even 25 volt and 70 volt paging systems. It can also be connected directly to the 2-wire protocol (40VDC + Audio) of another SA-X12 or the Viking SA-25 paging controller to add even more self amplified speakers.
 

Model SA-IR

 

The Viking model SA-IR is a three button infrared remote control for use with the Viking model SA-1S and SA-1H self amplified paging speakers. Aim the infrared transmitter at the speaker and press the buttons. The up/down buttons allow users to set the appropriate volume level for each room. The speaker provides an audible “beep” feedback tone to let the user gauge the volume level even when there’s no background music (or page) playing at the time.
 

Model SA-1S

 

The Viking model SA-1S is an 8 inch paging speaker that has a built in 1.5 watt power amplifier, an infrared remote control detector, and an integrated digital volume control, all built into an attractive off-white grill for flush mounting in office ceilings. The SA-1S self amplified paging speaker uses a proprietary two wire protocol in which both 40 volts DC power and audio are combined on the same pair of wires. It is designed for direct connection to the Viking Model SA-25 Self Amplified Paging Control unit, or use the Viking model SA-X12 expander/adapter to connect it to virtually any existing paging system.
 

Model SA-1H

 

The Viking model SA-1H is a 5 inch paging horn that includes a 1.5 watt power amplifier, an infrared remote control detector, and an integrated digital volume control. The SA-1H self amplified paging horn uses a proprietary two wire protocol in which both 40 volts DC power and audio are combined on the same pair of wires. It is designed for direct connection to the Viking Model SA-25 Self Amplified Paging Control unit, or use the Viking model SA-X12 expander/adapter to connect it to virtually any existing paging system.
