Description
Keep Valcom page controls operational during AC power failures with the VPB-260, a battery backup unit that provides 12V and 24V DC battery-sourced power to compatible page controls, with fuse-protected input, current-limited output, a battery test switch, and UL and CSA certification.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The VPB-260 is the battery backup accessory for Valcom V-2001A, V-2003A, V-2003AHF, V-2006A, and V-2006AHF page controls — it plugs directly into the battery backup molex connector on the compatible page control and automatically provides battery-sourced power when AC mains power is interrupted. This maintains paging system operation during power outages, which is the period when emergency announcements and coordination are most critical. The fuse-protected AC input guards against overcurrent events at the supply side, and current limiting on the DC output protects connected equipment from battery-side fault conditions. Both 12V and 24V DC outputs are available at 3-amp fuse protection, matching the power requirements of the compatible page controls. The battery test switch allows the facilities team to verify battery charge state without disconnecting the system from mains power — a standard maintenance check that should be performed on any UPS-type device on a regular schedule. UL and CSA certification documents safety compliance for permanent commercial installation.
