1. INTRODUCTION

The Australian Monitor Installation Series DigiPageJr is a two rack unit multizone paging and source selection system that offers unprecedented flexibility for multizone paging & source routing applications. Four program inputs are available to each of eight zone outputs. The DigiPageJr is also expandable to 16 zones via a simple link cable to a second unit. Paging stations are available in 8 zone and 16 Zone models allowing paging into any individual zone, any combination of zones or All Call. There is also the ability to have one Paging Station as a priority paging station. The Paging stations connect via an inexpensive and industry standard CAT5 cable network. An overall priority input is also provided for emergency or evacuation signals. The DigiPageJr is powered by an (included) external plug-pack power supply or via 24VDC. The DigiPageJr is a versatile and well featured product that provides a simple solution to the complex applications of multizone paging and source routing.

The controls detailed below (1-6) apply to each output zone, as indicated by ZONE 1 .. ZONE 8 on the front panel.

1 PROG 1-4:

This series of program switches (PROG 1- PROG 4) allows any one of the connected program sources to be switched to this zone. Note that these are mechanically interlocking switches: only one program may be selected at a time. Program inputs may be mic or line, see Back Panel on page 8.

2 MASTER 1-8:

This control adjusts the overall output level of the zone.

3 TREBLE

The treble control has 10dB of cut or boost at 10kHz. The treble control affects the entire zone.

NOTE: Note that ‘center ’ is to the right (3 o’clock), not the top (12 o’clock).

4BASS

The bass control has 12dB of cut or boost at 100Hz. The bass control affects the entire zone.

NOTE: Note that ‘center ’ is to the right (3 o’clock), not the top (12 o’clock).

5 PROG

This control adjusts the overall level of the selected program source into the zone.

NOTE: To balance the differing levels of each program input, the program trim

controls on the Back Panel should be used (see Back Panel and Setup sections)

6PAGE

This control adjusts the paging mic level into the zone.

Australian Monitor

INSTALLATION SERIES

Located at the right-hand end of the unit, these controls affect all zones.

7 PAGE ENABLE

This switch allows the zone to be included in or isolated from the paging function. You may want to do this when a zone is an area such as a function room that occasionally may need to be isolated from paging.

8ON

This LED indicates there is power to the unit.

NOTE: When 24VDC emergency power is supplied this LED will always be on.

9 POWER

This switches power from the power supply (included ).

NOTE: When 24VDC emergency power is supplied, the unit is on regardless of

the switch position.
