1 Introduction
The BVRDTSM Touchscreen Microphone has been designed to
provide a wide variety of features suitable for any installation.
Figure 1.1 — BVRDTSM Microphone
The Microphone is configured during commissioning using the in
built touchscreen. Standard RJ45 Network cable connections
(carrying both Audio and Serial Data) are employed, in order to
make installation simple and flexible.

• AUX Output (broadcast of microphone stored none
emergency messages or routing of local background music
connection)
• Dual Output (OP1 and OP2 carry live paging broadcasts for
dual redundant systems)
See Hardware Configuration section for more details on how to
change the Audio Output Configuration.
In order to simplify cabling requirements by default the
BVRDTSM also carries the AUX Output on OP1. This means
that the microphone can be installed using a single CAT6A cable.
If a Hard Wired Bypass is fitted to the microphone (factory fit
option) then the AUX Output is not available on OP1 so therefore
OP2 must also be connected.
Please see the following sections for details of site connections
and hardware configuration for all Audio Output options.

In order to use a BVRDTSM microphone a user must be logged
in. This is achieved either by presenting a configured MFC card to
the NFC antenna (Item H in Figure 3.1 above) or by pressing the
“Login” button (Item C in Figure 3.1 above) and entering a Pin
Number.
A user will be logged out after a configured period of time for
security. It is possible to disable this log out timer in
Configuration Mode to make the microphone never log out.
3.2.2 Zone Selection
Before any other functions can be performed the user must select
the zones that are to be used.
The user selects the zone by pressing the corresponding Zone
Select button (item A in Figure 3.1 above). The selection status is
displayed in the Zone Status display (Item B in Figure 3.1 above).
