1. IMPORTANT REMARK

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that 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.
WARNING (If applicable): The terminals marked with symbol of “
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads or cords.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or
moisture..
WARNING: An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains
socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.

2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions
3. Heed all warnings
4. Follow all instructions
5. Do not use this apparatus near water
6. Clean only with dry cloth
7. Do not block any ventilation openings Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions
3
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade and the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the
plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug the apparatus during lightening sorts or when unused for long periods of
time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. Disconnecting from mains: switching off the POWER switch all the functions
and light indicators of the amplifier will be stopped, but fully disconnecting the device from mains is done unplugging the power cord from the mains input socket. For this reason, it always shall remain readily operable.
15. Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection by means of
a power cord.
16. The marking information is located at the bottom of the apparatus.
17. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus.
WARNING: This product must not be discarded, under any circumstance, as
unsorted urban waste. Take it to the nearest electrical and electronic waste treatment centre.
NEEC AUDIO BARCELONA, S.L. accepts no liability for any damage that may be caused to people, animal or objects due to failure to comply with the warnings above.

4. INTRODUCTION

PAGENETDN is a programmable Paging Station with dual audio output: Dante (digital) and analogue (balanced). This way, its control features and its microphone
signal can be used for paging together with any EclerNet digital matrix, no matter whether it supports Dante or not: MIO4040DN, MIMO88, MIMO88SG and MIMO1212SG.
At the same time it shares the same control features as the WPNETTOUCH, and can be programmed to control one or more networked EclerNet devices; it can even control a full installation, a project combining a multitude of different EclerNet devices: MIMO4040DN, MIMO88, MIMO88SG, MIMO1212SG digital matrices, NXA series digital audio managers, DUO-NET PLAYER units, etc. It is fully programmable through the EclerNet Manager
application (*).
(*) Refer to the EclerNet Manager Application manual for more information. The
EclerNet Manager application is available for download at www.ecler.com.
It comes with a desktop console design, including a gooseneck microphone and a 10” capacitive touch screen panel that can show and manage the User Control Panels for paging and for the control of networked EclerNet devices, VEO video devices and third­party devices.

4.1. Main features

Digital touchscreen embedded control panel, including the same features as the
WPNETTOUCH device:
o 10.1” IPS display (1280 x 800 pixels) o Capacitive & multitouch touch panel
PoE DC supply compatible External power supply compatible: external & universal PSU included + multi-
plug AC set
Ethernet Base-Tx 10/100Mb interface Flexo type gooseneck microphone included, XLR connector with safety flap (to
avoid microphone unwanted removal)
Audio transport using Dante, 2 channels:
o Dante channel #1 used for microphone signal transmission o Dante channel #2 used for AUX input signal transmission
Phantom Power available for the MIC input MIC out, analogue balanced signal, that makes the PAGENETDN unit compatible
for paging in combination with devices that don’t support Dante™ in a native way, as the MIMO88, MIMO88SG and MIMO1212SG
AUX input, stereo LINE, RCA connectors. The incoming signal is converted to
mono and sent to the network using Dante channel #2. It can be used to connect an external audio source (like a media player) and inject its signal to the network in Dante format
Paging features based on programmable UCP control panels EclerNet control device, with the ability to execute EclerNet projects on its
internal engine, acting as a server and / or client of UCP panels

5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

5.1. Installation and wiring

Before programming and using it, the PAGENETDN unit must be connected to the network, by means of its internal RJ45 ETHERNET interface. This one, and the rest of connectors, are available unscrewing the bottom metal plate of the unit (3 screws must be removed).
PAGENET internal view, after removing the bottom metal plate
It must as well be supplied with DC Power, directly with PoE (Power over Ethernet), when it is available from the Ethernet switch the unit is connected to, or by means of the included external Power Supply, 12 VDC, 2A (EXTERNAL PSU CONNECTOR).
Additionally, there are 2 extra audio connectors available:
AUX IN (L / R): stereo LINE input, RCA connectors. The incoming signal is
converted to mono and sent to the network using Dante channel #2. This input can be used to connect an external audio source (like a media player) and inject it’s signal to the network in Dante format
MIC OUT (ANALOGUE AUDIO OUT): mono balanced signal (Euroblock). It’s a
copy of the microphone signal in analogue format, that enables to create paging systems in combination with devices without Dante native support.

5.2. Audio Settings

PAGENETDN has several audio controls in its electronics that can be used to tailor the incoming analogue audio signals:
PHANTOM POWER ON / OFF (default = ON): it enables or disables the Phantom
Power delivered to the microphone XLR connector, in case a condenser microphone is used, like the unit that comes by default with the PAGENETDN device (Ecler eMCN1 model)
HPF (High Pass Filter) ON /OFF (default = ON): it enables or disables the High
Pass Filter (100Hz @ 12dB/oct) applied to the audio signal captured from the microphone capsule, to minimize low frequency and unwanted noise entering into the voice messages path along the audio system
MIC IN GAIN (*): preamp gain adjustment for the incoming microphone signal. It
affects both the resulting Dante ch #1 output and the ANALOGUE AUDIO (MIC) OUT signal
AUX IN GAIN (LINE GAIN): preamp gain adjustment for the incoming AUX IN ST
LINE signal, later converted to mono and to Dante ch #2
(*) Note: the microphone XLR connector admits standard XLR microphones to
be used, like the Ecler eMCN1 supplied with the unit, but it can’t hold those with the base thicker than the standard XLR size:
