instructions, and specifications.

The Extron® PPS 35 Priority Page Sensor works with the
Extron PVS 405D PoleVault® Digital Switcher only and is an
optional part of a PoleVault, PlenumVault

™

, or WallVault®

system.

The PPS 35 mounts to the front face of any public address
(PA) loudspeakers. When the Priority Page Sensor senses a
PA system broadcast, it sends a signal to mute the audio
output of the switcher for the duration of the PA broadcast.

Figure 1. PPS 35

The sensor unit is mounted onto the speaker with the pre-installed hook-and-loop
fastener. The cable is connected to the rear panel 3-pole captive screw Paging
Sensor port of the PVS 405D switcher, located up to 50 feet away. Fifteen feet of
cabling is supplied already attached to the sensor.

The paging sensitivity is set and controlled from the switcher via the front panel
encoder, Simple Instruction Set (SIS

™

) commands, or conguration software.

NOTES:

• The PPS 35 unit is NOT plenum rated and should not be installed above a drop

ceiling.

• The cable attached to the PPS 35 unit IS plenum rated and may be installed

above a drop ceiling.

• The PPS 35 is NOT compatible with PVS 204SA Plus, PVS 305SA,

PVS 305SA IP switchers, or with the PPC 25 Priority Page Controller.

Pre-Installation

Avoid placing the PPS 35 and PA speaker in noisy areas where the sensor can
inadvertently falsely trigger the switcher to mute the program audio.
Examples of noisy areas are:

• Crowded areas (such hallways and entrances)

• Near an HVAC system vent

• Close to the PoleVault system speakers or

Installation

Testing and Adjustment Procedure

1. Turn the program audio on.

2. Initiate a page from the PA system. The program audio is muted while the PA

system broadcast occurs, and restored when the PA broadcast ends.

3. If program audio is not muted during a PA broadcast,

turn the Paging Sensitivity adjustment knob on the
front panel of the PVS 405D clockwise.

4. If program audio is muted without a page occurring,

turn the Paging Sensitivity adjustment knob on the
PVS 405D counterclockwise.

5. To prevent the switcher’s audio from being

restored prematurely due to pauses by the
announcer, a time delay may be set from 1 to 8 seconds via SIS commands or
conguration software. Default is 3 seconds. See the PVS 405D User Guide for
SIS commands.

NOTE: To complete the system installation, see the PoleVault Digital System

Installation Guide (featuring the PVS 405D switcher), available online at

www.extron.com.
