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.
