3.Installation

3.1. Adding PCMZPM Modules

The LUPCMALL is pre-assembled to accommodate 3 zones of paging. If your installation requires 4 to 9 zones, you can add one or two Zone Paging Modules (PCMZPM). A total of 3 PCMZPM modules (9 zones total) can be used on a LUPCMALL assembly. If your installation requires more than 9 zones, you will need one or more LUPCMADD units to allow system expansion beyond 9 zones. Install the extra PCMZPM modules before mounting and wiring the PCM System assemblies. (Refer to the LUPCMZONE installation manual).

NOTE: LUPCMADD Paging Control System Expansion Assemblies and Zone Paging Modules can only be added when the previous assembly contains 3 PCMZPM modules; otherwise, the system will not operate.

3.2. Mounting the PCM System

The Paging Control System Assemblies can be either wallor rack-mounted.

3.2.1. Wall Mounting

1.After assembling the unit (if necessary) hold the unit level against the surface to which it will be mounted.

2.Mark where the mounting screws should be positioned.

3.Set the assembly aside and install the screws leaving about ¼" of the screw sticking out of the surface.

4.Slip the assembly over these screws and tighten them snuggly.

3.2.2. Rack Mounting

1.Position the left side of the completed PCM assembly (any additional PCMZPM modules should have already been added) over one of the rack mounting adapters. Refer to Figure 3-1 and use the correct holes for the number of modules in the assembly (4, 5, or 6 as shown).

2.Secure the left side of the PCM system to the rack adapter using two of the truss head sheet metal screws.

3.Secure the right side of the PCM system to the other rack adapter using the holes for the number of modules in the assembly and the remaining 2 truss head sheet metal screws.

4.Secure the assembly to a 19" rack (rack screws not supplied).

[12]

5.System Wiring Connections

5.1.Telephone System Connections

The PCMTIM module is the telephone interface module for the PCM Paging Control System. The PCMTIM provides the telephone interface (including talk battery), night ringer input, emergency over ride input, and auxiliary relay contacts for the system. The module is also responsible for all tone signaling features.

The PCM connects to virtually any telephone system: PBX station lines and CO lines, PBX loop start trunk ports, PBX ground start trunk ports, and page ports (using contact closure).

Interface installation consists of setting dip switches and connecting with modular (RJ11) telephone plugs.

Refer to the appropriate procedure in this section to connect the PCM System to the telephone system.

Note: In all cases, make sure that power to the PCM is off and any amplifiers being connected to it before performing the installation.

5.2. PBX Loop Start Trunk Port

In this configuration, the unit supplies a 48V talk battery and loop current detection. When the unit detects a loop resistance between Tip and Ring, it activates. When the loop opens, the page ends. The unit follows the status of the trunk port; default and VOX timers are not used in this mode.

1.Make sure that power is off and all connections completed before proceeding.

2.Move the dip switches on the module to the position shown in Figure 5-1 below. Use the tip of a pen or other pointed instrument to move the switches.

Figure 5-1: Loop Start Telephone

Selector Switch

3. Use a modular telephone cord to connect the module to the phone system. Plug one end of the cord into the Loop Start Trunk (using a modular jack) and the other end in to the TEL LINE jack on the module.

The center two conductors are Tip and Ring (48V DC) and have a specific polarity. If the polarity of the trunk is opposite, you can use a reversing modular cord to make the connection or reverse the connection through a modular block. Refer to Figure 5-2 for more information.

Figure 5-2: Loop Start/Ground Start RJ11

[13]

IMPORTANT: The polarity of the Tip & Ring contacts of the RJ11 jack for the Tel Line and Over Ride were chosen so that when a standard modular cord (one with the tops of both end plugs on the same side of the flat cable) is used to connect the PCM to a modular wall block, the modular block G (Tip) terminal will be positive with respect to the R (Ring) terminal. Because of variations in types of modular cords and when stripping a modular cord for direct connection, always check the polarity of the center conductors or R & G terminals to determine Tip & Ring (the positive lead is Tip and the negative lead is Ring).

5.3. PBX Ground Start Trunk Port

In this configuration, the unit supplies 48V talk battery and loop current detector. When the ground start trunk grounds Ring, the unit responds by closing the connection to Tip, which completes the access procedure. When the loop is opened, the page ends. The unit follows the status of the trunk; default and VOX timers are not used in this mode.

1.Make sure that power is off and all connection completed before proceeding.

2.Move the dip switches on the module to the position shown in Figure 5-3 below. Use the tip of a pen or other pointed instrument to move the switches.

Figure 5-3: Ground Start

Telephone Selector Switch

3. Use a modular telephone cord to connect the module to the phone system. Plug one end of the cord into the Ground Start Trunk (using a modular jack) and the other end in to the TEL LINE jack on the module.

The center two conductors are Tip and Ring (48V DC) and are polarity sensitive. If the polarity of the trunk is opposite, you can use a reversing modular cord to make the connection or reverse the connection through a modular block. Refer to Figure 5-4 for more information.

Figure 5-4: Loop Start RJ11

Connections

IMPORTANT: The polarity of the Tip & Ring contacts of the RJ11 jack for the Tel Line and Over Ride were chosen so that when a standard modular cord (one with the tops of both end plugs on the same side of the flat cable) is used to connect the PCM to a modular wall block, the modular block G (Tip) terminal will be positive with respect to the R (Ring) terminal. Because of variations in types of modular cords, and when stripping a modular cord for direct connection, always check the polarity of the center conductors or R & G terminals to determine Tip & Ring (the positive lead is Tip and the negative lead is Ring).

[14]

4. Use 24-gauge solid wire to connect the GND ST terminal on the module to the PBX ground. This is typically the AC ground for the PBX system.

IMPORTANT: It is very important that no other terminals of the PCM system connect to AC ground when using the ground start interface. Also, the case of the PCM system cannot be connected to AC ground. If the system is not working and no PCM terminals (except the GND ST terminal) are directly connected to AC ground, there may be an indirect connection. Check the connections to any equipment with a 3-wire AC plug. Make sure that unbalanced inputs and outputs of this equipment are isolated using a model LUWMTIA transformer (Corn Code 405891680) before connecting the equipment to the PCM.

The PA OUT and HPBGM terminals on the PCM do not have to be ground-isolated.

5.4. PBX Page Port

In this configuration, the unit responds to a contact shorting the closure source to its return. When the short is removed, the page ends. Audio is provided to the system through a separate pair of leads.

1. Make sure that power is off and all connections completed before proceeding.

NOTE: Make sure that the page port produces DTMF tones. The page port must also be hi-directional in order to use talk back.

2. Move the dip switches on the module to the position shown in Figure 5-5 below. Use the tip of a pen or other pointed instrument to move the switches.

Figure 5-5: Page Port

Telephone Selector Switch

3. Use a modular telephone cord to connect the module to the phone system. Plug one end of the cord into the Page Port and the other end in to the TEL LINE jack on the module.

The center two conductors are used for dry audio and the connectors on either side are connected to the page port contact closure. The maximum resistance of the page port contact closure is 1000 ohms. Refer to Figure 5-6 below for more information.

Figure 5-6: Page Port

RJ11 Connections

5.5. PBX Analog Station Port

In this configuration, the unit answers after the first full ring. As soon as it answers, the default timer is started. The default timer determines the maximum length of any page. When a paging zone is selected, the VOX timer is started (if enabled). This timer repeatedly resets as long as audio is detected on the line. If no audio is detected within the VOX time period, the page will end. If audio continues to be detected, the default timer will control page length.

[15]

The unit will also respond to CPC pulses (short losses of loop current). When a CPC pulse is detected, the unit will immediately drop the line.

1.Make sure that power is off and all connections completed before proceeding.

2.Move the TEL INT SEL (dip) switches on the module to the position shown in Figure 5-7 below. Use the tip of a pen or other pointed instrument to move the switches.

Figure 5-7: Station Telephone

Selector Switch

3. Use a modular telephone cord (minimum 2-conductor) to connect the module to the phone system. The center two conductors are Tip and Ring and are not polarity sensitive (see Figure 5-8 below). Plug one end of the cord into the PBX or CO modular jack and the other end in to the TEL LINE jack on the module.

Figure 5-8: Station RJ11 Connections

4. Set Default and VOX timers. See System Programming, Section 11.

Note: The default timeout is factory set to 30 seconds, and the VOX timeout is set to 6 seconds. If both the default and VOX timers are inhibited, the only way to disconnect the system from the station line is the CPC pulse.

5.6. Night Ringer

The PCM Night Ringer signaling feature is designed to alert personnel to incoming calls after normal business hours. The feature can be activated either by a 90V ring signal or by a contact closure. In the factory default configuration, the night ringer sounds in all zones; however, a zone group can be programmed so that the night ringer can sound only in a user-selected number of zones.

[16]

The night ringer normally sounds a simulated ring tone but can be programmed to sound a chime tone. Refer to System Programming, Section 11 to set up a night ringer zone group or to change to ringer tone.

To physically connect the night ringer wiring:

1.Make sure that power is off.

2.Plug a modular cord into the NIGHT RING (RJ11) jack.

The center conductors of the plug are used for the 90V ring signal (see Figure 5-9). The flanking conductors are used for contact closure activation. Maximum contact resistance for contact closure activation is 1000 ohms.

Figure 5-9: Night Ring

RJ11 Connections

Note: The Night Ring feature has priority just above background music. There is a 5-second delay after the night ring stops before background music is restored (bridges inter-ring pause).

5.7. Over Ride Input

The Over Ride is a non-programmable feature that lets the caller take priority over all paging functions and make a system-wide page to all speakers. The feature can be activated using a loop start trunk or dedicated telephone. Provisions are also included to interface with other signaling equipment.

The Over Ride feature includes a quad beep pre-announce tone that can be enabled or inhibited. (The default is inhibited). See System Programming, Section 11 to enable the tone.

1.Make sure that power is off and all connections completed before proceeding.

2.Plug modular cord into OVER RIDE (RJ-11) jack.

The center two conductors interface directly to a Loop Start Trunk or dedicated phone (see Figure 5-10). When the trunk becomes active, the PCM goes into Over Ride mode.

Figure 5-10: Over Ride Loop Start

RJ11 Connections

Also, see connecting to an External Audio Source, page 53.

[17]

[18]

6.Paging Amplifier Connections

The paging amplifier audio connections are made to the PCMTBM module terminal strip. If the amplifier has a paging control input, this is connected to the RLY TWO terminals on the PCMTIM module (see Figure 6-1). The paging amplifier must have a balanced 600-ohm input. The amplifier should be located close to the PCM system to keep cable lengths reasonably short.

NOTE: To make all audio connections, use 22 AWG shielded, twisted pair on all wire runs. Com Code: 401882956, PEC Code: 2734-SPK.

CAUTION: Make sure the amplifier is turned off or unplugged before wiring.

[19]

[20]

7.Background Music

The PCM system is very flexible in how it can provide background music throughout the system:

•Background music can be continuously supplied to all zones not being paged. (Requires two amplifiers of the same power rating.)

•Background music can be supplied by the same amplifier that is supplying paging. (Music input is available on amplifier.)

•Background music can be supplied by same amplifier that is supplying paging. (No dedicated music input available on amplifier.)

•Background music or different background music can be supplied to a select group of zones.

•Background music can be supplied to self-amplified (LO-PWR) zones.

•Background music can be inhibited in select groups.

The BGM SRC terminals are used to control background music operations when using a single power amplifier that does not provide a separate music input. This feature is only used when a single amplifier will be used for both background music and paging (background music is lost in all zones when a page is made).

NOTE: This input and its associated control is not used when using amplifiers with separate music inputs and paging control terminals because background music is supplied directly to the amplifier.

7.1. Helpful Hints When Connecting Background Music to the Paging Control System

1.When using the BGMSRC (background music source) input on the PCMTIM as input for background music, the music is muted to all speakers when any zone is selected. The source input signal is line level.

2.When the HPBGM (high-powered background music) input on the PCMCPU is used, music is muted only in the zone selected. The source input has to be an amplified signal.

3.When the LPBGM (low power background music) input on the PCMCPU is used as an input for background music, music is muted only to the zone selected. In this application, either amplified speakers or an amplifier per zone is used. PCMZPM output power switch is set to LO-PWR. The input background music is line level.

4.When the Local BGM input on the PCMZPM is selected as input for background music, music is muted only to the zone selected. An amplified signal is required at this input if using 70V speakers.

NOTE: When you want to mute the background music only to the zone in which you are paging, use 2, 3 or 4.
