EXPLANATION OF GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS
The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninstalled “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure. This voltage may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Caution
CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR

SAFETY
Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug
the unit and have it checked by the qualified personnel
before operating it any futher.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not going to be
used for several days or more. To disconnect the cord, pull it
out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-
up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation holes.
INSTALLATION
Do not install the unit in an extremely hot or humid place or
in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
The unit is not designed to be waterproof
CLEANING
Clean the unit with a dry soft cloth. Never use strong
solvents such as thinner or benzine as they might damage

reflection from the sun.
Wiring Specifications
T
he VSC4S is designed to connect to the VSM4SK, or
VSUC4SK video door answering system using category 5 or
category 6 cable.
• Maximum cable length: 250 ft
IMPORTANT: NuTone cannot be responsible for
improper system operation that results from inter-
ference generated by light dimmers, fluorescent
lighting fixtures, and similar electrical products.
Such interference must be corrected at the source.

WIRES PARALLEL TO A.C. POWER WIRING.
Connecting and Mounting the Camera
Frame Construction (New Construction)
1.At the camera location, attach a single gang wall box (pur-
chase locally) to the wall stud. Normal mounting height is
60" from the top of the wall box to the floor.
2.Run the category 5 or category 6 cable from the VSM4SK
or VSUC4SK location to the camera location (250 ft maxi-
mum length).
3.Run the cable into the box. Leave approx 12" of extra
cable in the box.
4.After the finished wall surface has been applied, strip
approximately 2" of outer protective jacket from the catego-
ry 5, or category 6 cable.
5.Separate and strip approx 1/2" of insulation
from each of the eight wires in the cable.
Twist the following cables together:
• OR and OR/WH
• GR and GR/WH
• BL and BL/WH
• BR and BR/WH
6.Remove the plastic back frame and rubber gasket from the
camera. Position the back frame and gasket over wire and
attach to the wall box using (2) #6 x 3/4" machine screws
(supplied). Level the back frame before tightening screws
completely.
7.Attach each of the twisted pair of wires to
the corresponding screw terminal on the
back of the camera.
T
ighten each screw
securely.
8.Dress extra cable into wall box and position
the camera, starting at the top onto the
plastic back frame.
9
.Fully seat the camera into the back frame
and secure the camera with 4mm camera
attachment screw (supplied) thru the bottom
of the back frame and camera.
I
mportant: If camera is exposed to
o
utside elements, caulk should be
added to the top and sides of the
camera at the wall surface. Do not
caulk bottom surface.
Existing Construction
1a. At the camera location, a single gang wall box can be
cut into the existing wall surface (maybe required by
local code). Normal height is 58" from center of the hole
to the floor.
1b. At the camera location, drill a 3/8" hole
into the wall directly next to a wall stud.
Normal mounting height is 58" from the
center of the hole to the floor.
2.Run the category 5 or category 6 cable from
the VSM4SK or VSUC4SK location to the
camera location (250 ft maximum length).
3.Run the cable thru the hole (or into the box
if used). Leave approx 12" of extra cable
protruding thru the hole (or box if used).
4.Strip approx. 2" of outer protective jacket
from the category 5, or category 6 cable.
5.Separate and strip approx 1/2" of insulation
from each of the eight wires in the cable.
Twist the following cables
together:
• OR and OR/WH
• GR and GR/WH
• BL
and BL/WH
• BR and BR/WH
6.Remove the plastic back frame and rubber
gasket from the camera. Position the back
frame and gasket over wire and attach into
the wall stud using (2) #6 x 1 1/4" screws
(supplied) (or two # 6-32 x 3/4" machine
screws (supplied) if a wall box was used).
Level the back frame before tightening
screws completely.
7.Attach each of the twisted pair of wires to
the corresponding screw terminal on the
back of the camera. Tighten each
screw securely.

.Dress extra cable into the hole
(or wall box if used) and position the
camera, starting at the top onto the
plastic back frame.
9
.Fully seat the camera into the back
f
rame and secure the camera with 4mm
camera attachment screw (supplied)
thru the
bottom of the back frame and camera.
Important: If camera is exposed to
outside elements, caulk should be
added to the top and sides of the
camera at the wall surface. Do not
caulk bottom surface.
Operational Checkout
Refer to the instructions provided with NuTone models
VSM4SK, or VSUC4SK.
Camera Volume Adjustment
The VSC4S door camera is provided with a volume level
adjustment set screw. The adjustment has been pre-set at
the factory to provide the optimal volume level at the door
camera. The volume level can be adjusted if your specific
application requires the level to be either increased or
decreased. Insert a jeweler’s screwdriver into the small hole
that is shown in the camera illustration. Rotate the small set
screw to adjust the volume level.
Important: Do not use excessive force to rotate the screw.
Damage could occur to the camera, and loss of audio may
result. Use extreme caution when making the adjustment. Do
not use a screwdriver that is too big for the application.
VSC4S
Volume Adjustment
Camera Lens Manual Adjustment
T
he VSC4S door camera is provided with a manual camera
lens adjustment. The adjustment can be used to fine tune
the angle of the camera lens to compensate for installations
that are not directly in line to the viewing area. The adjust-
ment is located on the back of the camera, as shown in the
camera illustration. Move the adjustment control upward to
lower the camera lens. Move the adjustment control down-
w
ard to raise the camera lens. Adjust the camera lens posi-
tion to provide the best viewing area for your installation.
