Introduction

The Model 727-001 Access Panel is a component of the SmartSeries ADVANCE system that can be used
for public address, intercommunication, and emergency notification.

How to Use the Assembly

Application

The Model 727-001 Desk Set Access Panel is used to communicate, initiate alarms and to control alarm
and paging destinations. It is equipped with a 120 V ac/240 V ac desktop power supply that allows the
access panel to be used in almost all installations without requiring additional line transformers.

The Model 727-001 Access Panel consists of the following main components:

 27 configurable push buttons
 A LAMP TEST push button
 A total of 24 configurable LEDs available
 Handset with pressbar
 Speaker with volume control

Twenty-four of the 27 push buttons contain bi-color LED lamps that can be configured to provide system
status information.

The panel provides a handset equipped with an integral pressbar. The handset is used to make page
announcements and to hold two-way party line conversations. In addition, an internal speaker is provided
to allow page audio monitoring. The access panel also includes a volume control for the internal speaker.

OTE: The speaker is disabled when the handset is in use.

Interfaces

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 as shown in
Figure 3.

horizontal surface in a convenient location where the handset and push buttons are readily accessible.

Data Connection

Connect the RJ-11 data cable from the RJ-45 jack on the rear of the unit 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 an RJ-11 or RJ-45 plug. This connection is not polarity-sensitive and
may be wired in either orientation.

OTE: This assembly includes a 7-foot RJ-11 data cable.

Label Creation

A Word 97 document is available to create custom slide-in labels for the desk set. It is available for
download at www.gai.tronics.com

When you click on the document, you will be asked if you want to download the file; or if MS Word is
installed on your computer, it will open automatically. You may want to save the file on your computer
for future use.

Before printing on the included slide-in labels, print a test page on plain paper to verify that the
positioning, the orientation, and the information are correct. To check the printed paper, lay it behind the
included slide-in label sheet and verify that the print is in the proper location. Because printers vary, you
may need to adjust the margins in the page setup to center the printed text within the perforated strips.

To modify the text size and color of the text in the blocks, you will need to “unprotect” the document as
outlined below.

If you need to modify the margins you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Unprotect the document by selecting the Tools Menu, then clicking on Unprotect Document.

. Follow the SmartSeries link, and select Access Panels.

2. Next select File, then Page Setup.

3. Adjust the Top Margin and Left Margin value to move the printed text around on the sheet.

OTE: Do not re-protect the document, otherwise all the information that was typed in will be lost.

N

After making any change to the slide-in label document, print a test copy on plain paper before using the
included slide-in label sheet.

To change the color of a cell or square:

1. Right click at the left edge of a cell to select the entire cell. The cell will reverse color.

2. Select Format, Borders and Shading, and then select the Shading tab.

3. Select a color from the chart by clicking on it; and be sure the “Applies to box” reads “cell” and then

click OK to apply.

The color will appear correctly when the cursor is moved to another location in the document.

Keypad Slide-In Labels

To install the keypad slide-in labels, proceed as
follows:

1. Separate the slide-in labels along the perforated

lines on the sheet.

2. Fold the tab at the end of the slide-in label so

that it is perpendicular to the reset of the label.

3. Slide the label into the appropriate slot opening

located at the top of each of the button columns.

4. Repeat the above steps for the remaining labels.

To replace the keypad slide-in labels, proceed as

follows:

1. Locate the tab at the top of the label and pull it

out from behind.

2. Slide label out using the tab that has been

exposed.

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 system control unit via an external PC at
system start-up.

This access panel offers the standard features described below in addition to other configurable features.
The standard features include a handset used for page and party functions, and an integral speaker to
monitor page audio.

Handset Communications

The handset is used for both page and party communications. Lifting the handset from the cradle creates
an off-hook condition. In a normal configuration, lifting the handset causes it to be connected to a party
line.

Speaker and Speaker Muting

The access panel’s integral speaker provides the capability of monitoring system page activity. The
speaker’s volume can be adjusted using the volume adjustment knob.

N

OTE: The speaker is disabled when the handset is in use.
