Getting Started
Product Ov erview
Thank you for your purchase of the GAI-Tronics Zone Interface Module (ZIM). The 10960 Series ZIM
models provide complimentary hardware and functionality to the 10959 Series Audio Messenger
Interfaces (AMI).
Prior to installation of the ZIM, we recommend you read the entire manual and inspect the contents of the
package to ensure the following are included:
• Zone Interface Module (See model chart on page 2)
• Product Evaluation Card – Please fill out and return at your earliest convenience
Fea tures and Functions
The ZIM can be equipped with either or both of the following:
• 69502-xxx Page/Party
• 69451-xxx Amplifier Steering Module
The Model 10960-002 and 10960-003 Zone Interface Modules each include a Page/Party
Module, which provides the capability to broadcast any audio generated by the AMI on a GAI-Tronics
Page/Party
Page/Party
®
system. When coupled with an AMI equipped with a telephone interface card, the
®
Interface provides telephone callers access to full-duplex party line communications.
In the event that a Page/Party
telephone interface provides a re-page feature. If the caller enters a DTMF “#” while waiting for a party
to answer, the system prompts the caller to make another page. For example, if the original party is not
available to answer the page, the caller has the option to re-page another person.
Additionally, when the 10960 includes the Page/Party
telephone caller to direct the telephone call to a specific party line. Please see the Remote Commands
section of this manual for more details.

The Page/Party® Interface card is equipped with circuitry to activate GAI-Tronics’ VLC devices. VLC
receivers can be purchased as add-on units for the 700 Series amplifiers. The VLC can override volume
control settings, ensuring that the alarm is heard in all areas, regardless of the volume control adjustment
of individual amplifiers. VLC tr ansmit ter a c tivation can b e p rogrammed for any or all of th e alarm
inputs. This feature allows only the specified, higher priority alarms to override all volume control
settings, while lower priority tones do not.
The Model 10960-001 and 10960-003 ZIM units are both equipped with an Amplifier Steering Module.
The Amplifier Steering Module provides the capability for a ZIM to route audio to eight individually
controlled zones. Each zone audio output provides a 0 dBm/600-ohm output. Zones can be assigned to
zone groups via the ACT tool. A maximum of 60 zone groups can be created. Each zone group has a
unique descr i ption, and can consist of any combinat ion of output zon es. The ACT tool p rovides
conf igur atio n of zon e group s, which can the n be assigned to vari ou s events a nd messages. Via the remo te
control function, the caller has the option of choosing the zone group destination prior to making a page.
Please refer to the Remote Commands section on page 8 of this manual for more details.

Mounting
The Model 10960 Series Rack-Mount ZIM units can be placed on a table or desk, or it can be mounted in
a standar d EIA 19-i nc h electronic equ ipment rack. The ZIM units require 1U (1.75 inches) in a standard
19-inch rack. If the ZIM is installed in an electronic equipment rack, complete the following steps:
1. Install the mounting brackets with the eight 8–32 × 3/8-inch screws provided.
2. Mount the ZIM into the rack using the four 10–32 × ¾-inch screws provided.
Tablet op Mounti ng
If the ZIM is to be placed on a table or desk, install the five stabilizing feet and use the four #4
countersunk toothed washers when attaching the top to the base. These washers help to provide good
contact bet w een the two to ensure ad equa te grounding.

Operation
Remote Commands
After a ca ll has b een conn ected to the AMI with a ZIM , t he call er can enter a valid remot e co mmand
using the DTMF keypad of the telephone. During the greeting message, the caller must enter a DTMF
“*” t o access re mote contro l. The greeting messa ge wil l be halted, and two consecutive beeps w ill sound,
indi c atin g the unit has ent ered re mo te contr ol mode.
Callers can direct a page to a specific zone group by entering a DTMF “#”, followed by the two-digit
zone group number. Valid zone group numbers are 01 - 60. Entering #00 selects the all-call feature.
Additional remote commands are available for wall-mount AMI units equipped with the 33-ohm
Page/Party
conversation. After entering remote control mode, the caller enters a DTMF “*”, followed by the singledigit party line (1 through 5). The AMI will continue with live page or recorded paging, depending upon
the configured page mode. When the page is answered, the caller is connected to the selected party line.
The Off-hook Timeout setting for the Telephone Interface in the ACT tool limits the duration of a party
conversation. Approximately 20 seconds prior to the configured timeout expiration, the AMI will emit a
warning tone, indicating that the connected call is about to be terminated. If the caller enters the DTMF
“*” key, the AMI extends the conversation by the length of time defined by the Off-hook Timeout
parameter. Two consecutive beeps a re sounded when the AMI t i meou t has b een su ccessfully ext en ded.
While a caller is waiting for the paged party to respond, entering the DMTF “#” causes the AMI to restart
paging. Caller s can either reissue a page f or th e original p art y, or ma ke a page for anoth er pa r ty.
OTE: The caller does not access remote control mode to extend the connected party conversation or to
N
reissue a page.
