The PLM‑8CS PLENA matrix 8 Zone Call Station is an
accessory of the PLM‑8M8 PLENA matrix 8 channel
DSP Matrix Mixer, and like any good accessory it has a
complementary aesthetic design, but behind the good
looks and sleek design, there is a product of substance
and usability.
With one touch, the call station can call either a single
zone, or a user defined group of zones.
Installation couldn’t be easier; Powered over standard
CAT 5 from the PLM-8M8, the unit’s communication is
via RS485, this means that multiple call stations can
be daisy‑chained together reducing cable runs and
installation time.

Functions

Controls and indicators

There are 8 capacitive touch areas on the surface to
select zones before a call, and the LED lights are
white. The PTT button is a mechanical interface, to
give the user tactile feedback that the PTT has been
activated. In addition to this feedback there is a LED
strip above the PTT button to give the indications
when the zone is busy “red”, to wait while a preamble
chime is being played “yellow”, and to indicate the
microphone is open and active “green”. LEDs eliminate

in the microphone stem and the PTT LED strip giving
the user confidence that the microphone is open and
active.

Labeling

Labeling the unit couldn't be easier. Simply use the PC
GUI software to print of the labels. This will also
include white text on black background, so the
aesthetics of the unit are kept.

Unit ID and Priorities

Priorities are made in the software of the PLM‑8M8 8
channel DSP Matrix Mixer, and each call station has its
unique ID, this is set via DIP switches in the base of
the call station.

Certifications and approvals

Safety According to EN 60065

Installation/configuration notes

Loop Through.

Both PLM‑8CS and PLM‑WCP Wall Control Panel units
can be connected in series (daisy‑chain), reducing the
number of cable runs that need to be made in an
installation. Both PLM‑8CS and PLM‑WCP are powered
from the PLM‑8M8 8 Channel DSP Matrix Mixer.
Is a daisy chain of 8 call stations, we recommend the
safe cable distance to be a maximum of 500 m to the
last unit in the chain.
