V-9933A 
NOISE SENSING VOLUME CONTROL 
 
 
GENERAL 
The V-9933A is designed to electronically adjust the 
level of a page by monitoring ambient noise levels in 
an area of a building. 
 
SPECIFICATIONS 
Purpose 
The V-9933A provides automatic paging level 
adjustments in areas where ambient noise levels are 
continuously changing. 
 
Application
 
• 
Valcom one-way paging systems  
 
Features 
• 
Solid-state design 
• 
Low power requirements 
• 
Self-contained or optional remote sensing device 
 
Capacity 
Each V-9933A will control the audio for up to 150 
Valcom one-way amplified speaker assemblies in a 
single zone.  Multiple V-9933A units can be used 
within the same zone. 
 
Additional Materials Required 
At the time of installation, the installer should provide 
the following materials: 
• 
24VDC power supply (If existing supply is 
inadequate) 
• 
Optional V-9934, Remote Sensing Device (Up to 4 
units) 
 
Dimensions/Weight 
The V-9933A is designed to be wall mounted.  
• 
7.30" H x 4.50" W x 2.00" D 
 
(18.54cm H x 11.43cm W x 5.08cm D) 
• 
0.9 lbs. (.41kg)

OPERATION 
The V-9933A, Noise Sensing Volume Control, 
continuously monitors the surrounding area noise by 
utilizing a built-in or optional remote microphone.  
When a page is made, the V-9933A electronically locks 
onto the last area noise sample.  A -23dBm signal or 
higher is required on the input before the 
V-9933A will activate and lock. 
 
Once activated, the amplifier is automatically set to the 
proper gain level for the amount of background noise.  
The amplifier will remain locked at that gain level for 
the duration of the page. 
 
After the page is made, there is a five (5) second delay 
before the V-9933A starts monitoring the area noise 
levels.  Refer to Figure 3 for a simplified schematic of 
the V-9933A.
