Introduction
The desk-top mounted Model 12576-500 Docking Station is an optional accessory for the Model 727-001
Desk Set Access Panel. The access panel/docking station combination is a component of the
GAI-Tronics SmartSeries ADVANCE system that is used for public address, site communication, and
emergency notification.
How to Use the Assembly
Application
The Model 12576-500 Docking Station is a desktop-mounted assembly that is used in conjunction with
the Model 727-001 Desk Set Access Panel. The Model 12576-500 Docking Station consists of the
following main components:
Vacuum fluorescent display (VFD)
Two configured push buttons, ACK/NEXT and PREV
Piezo alarm with volume control knob
When the Model 727-001 Desk Set Access Panel is connected to the Model 12576-500 Docking Station,
SmartSeries ADVANCE system activity can be monitored via the VFD. The piezo audible alarm is
typically used to alert personnel of updated system status.
The ACK/NEXT push button contains an LED that is pre-defined to provide system status information,
while the button has been pre-defined to acknowledge faults or to scroll to the next active fault in the
system. The PREV push button is pre-defined to allow the operator the ability to scroll to the previous
fault that has been acknowledged but is still active.
The piezo alarm and its associated volume control are located on the rear of the unit. The volume control
knob that allows the operator to adjust the output level of the piezo alarm from off to full.

Interfaces
NOTE: All connections, except for the optional desk mic , are made to the rear of the docking station
instead of the rear of the desk set.
A 3-conductor ac power cord is included with the access panel. One end of the power cord is connected
to the 3-prong connector located on the back of the power supply, while the other end is plugged into a
grounded ac electrical outlet. The compatible ac input voltages are 120 V ac/240 V ac (auto-ranging),
50/60 Hz. The 5-pin DIN plug from the power supply is connected to the 5-pin DIN jack on the rear of
the access panel.

The DB-15 connector on the rear of the docking station is used for connecting the desk set to the docking
station. This connection allows the user to connect the power and the data/audio connection to the rear of
the docking station to ease overall installation of the docking station. All of the data lines for the VFD
and the two push buttons are also combined into the DB-15 connection made to the desk set. If the
optional desk mic is used, the connection is still made at the rear of the desk set.

Installation
WARNING
and in the installation manual.
1. Disconnect power before servicing.
2. Avoid servicing the unit during electrical storms.
3. Do not touch uninsulated wires.
Please adhere to all warnings, safety, and operating instructions on the unit
Mounting
Remove the docking station from its protective packing. Simply position the docking station on a sturdy
horizontal surface in a convenient location.
OTE: There are two #8-32 threaded inserts located on the bottom of the assembly that can be used to
N
anchor the assembly to a horizontal surface. The maximum screw penetration that is allowed from the
base of the docking station to the internal hardware is 0.375 inches (9.5 mm).
Data Connection
Connect the RJ-11 data cable from the RJ-45 jack on the rear of the docking station to the API connecting
block located in the ADVANCE control cabinet. If the 7-foot cable is not long enough, use a twisted-pair
cable terminated on one end with either a RJ-11 or RJ-45 plug. This connection is not polarity-sensitive
and may be wired in either orientation.
N
OTE: A 7-foot RJ-11 data cable is included with the desk set assembly.
Power
Connect the 3-conductor ac power cord provided with the docking station as follows:
1. Plug one end of the power cord into the 3-prong power connector at the rear of the power supply.
2. Plug the 5-pin DIN connector of the power supply into the 5-pin DIN jack on the rear of the docking
station.
3. Connect one end of the DB-15 cable to the desk set and slide the other end through the center of the
docking station, so that it is visible at the rear of the docking station.
4. If an optional desk mic has been purchased, slide the XLR plug on the end of the desk mic cable
through the center of the docking station and connect it to the desk set.
5. Set the desk set feet into the holes in the docking station allowing the desk set to lock into position.
6. Connect the other end of the DB-15 cable to the rear of the docking station.
7. Plug the power supply power cord into a grounded ac electrical outlet.
8. The assembly does not contain an integral power switch. The desk set access panel and docking
station will power up immediately.

Operation
Operation of this assembly is highly dependent on the attached system’s software configuration. The
software is factory-created and subsequently downloaded to the associated ADVANCE system control
unit via an external PC at system start-up.
The docking station in conjunction with the desk set access panel offers several standard features in
addition to the ones that are listed in the desk set access panel’s manual. These include a VFD to provide
system status in a text format, a piezo alarm to alert a user of a change in system status, and two push
buttons that can be used to acknowledge and scroll through system faults listed on the VFD.
Va cuum Fluorescent Display (VFD ) and Control
The VFD displays status messages from the system control unit in a text format. Typically, the push
buttons to the right of the VFD are configured for NE XT and PREVIOUS functions. Use the NEXT
push button to view each additional new message. The NEXT push button can be configured to flash
when a new message is available. Use the PREVIOUS to cycle backward in order to review old status
messages.
Piezo Alarm
The piezo alarm is an audible indicator. It is typically configured to sound when a new message is
available on the VFD. If configured as described above, press the NEXT push button to display each new
message. When the last available new message has been displayed, the piezo alarm turns off. The exact
details of the operation of the piezo alarm are configurable. Located on the rear of the docking station is a
volume control knob that can be used to adjust the volume level of the piezo alarm from off to full on.
