READ ME FIRST

This manual is designed for two (2) basic types of users:

Operators – those who are not involved in the setup or maintenance of the keypanel, but simply want to use it to

communicate. The first type of user should skip to “Basic Intercom Operation” on page 9.

Technicians – those who will use the advanced features to modify the keypanel’s operation and key assignments. The

second type of user may also be the maintenance person and/or system administrator for the intercom
system.

Technicians should become familiar with “Power-Up and Initial Settings” on page 7, as well as “Basic
Intercom Operation” on page 9. The advanced features are arranged in a system of menus accessible using
the control labeled SELECT on the front panel (see Figure 1).

FIGURE 1. SELECT knob on the PAM-16 front panel

The entire menu structure is summarized in “PAM-16 Keypanel Quick Reference” on page 29, with references to the page
numbers where you can find detailed information. Use this list as your starting point to become familiar with the advanced
features. Be sure to also read any general information supplied at the start of each menu section. At first, the menu system
might seem complicated, but navigation through it is actually quite basic, and experience has shown that users catch onto it
quickly.For many items, brief instructions are given as you navigate. From any level in the menus, you can double-tap the
Select control to proceed to the next higher level.

Power-Up and Initial Settings

Applying Power

Versions with an external power supply and DC power jack do not have a power switch.

> Plug in the power supply to apply power.

Addressing

CHAPTER 1

Normally, when the keypanel is powered-up for the first time, the call waiting window displays SET ADDR. This means that
you must set the address prior to first use of the keypanel. The address is based on the intercom port number to which the
keypanel is connected.

NOTE: If the keypanel displays MD in the call waiting window at power-up, this indicates service adjustments must be

made before using the keypanel. For information on correcting the MD1 service message, see “Service, Mod
Asgn” on page 23.

Determine the Address, ADAM and ADAM CS Intercoms

Determine the keypanel’s address using Table 1 on page 11.

Determine the Address, Zeus Intercom Systems

The address is the number (1-8) printed next to the connector on the back panel of the Zeus Frame. This number repeats for
each group of eight (8) connectors. The intercom system is able to distinguish between two (2) keypanels set to the same
address by the group where each is connected.

NOTE: Cronus system and the AIO-16 MDR card do not require you to set the address because they automatically set the

address when installed into the system.

Set the Address

1. While SET ADDR is displayed, tap the Select control.

ADDR 1 displays in the call waiting window.

2. Turn the Select control to display the address (ADDR 1 through ADDR 10) you determined above.

3. Tap the Select control.

While the address is being stored, the alphanumeric displays and the call waiting window shows asterisks (****).
Then, the normal power-up indications occur as described below. If you move the keypanel to a new port and need to
change the address at a later time, see “SERVICE, SET ADDR” on page 27.

Power-Up Indications

Power-Up Indications

After the correct keypanel address has been set, SET ADDR no longer displays at power-up. If the keypanel cannot establish
communications with the intercom system, all alphanumeric displays continue to show asterisks. Check the cable connection.

Instead, the following indications appear:

Keypanel with Alphanumeric Displays

Assigned Key:

During a normal power-up, the alphanumeric display first shows asterisks (****). After a few moments, the intercom key
assignments display.

Unassigned Keys

For each unassigned key, the display shows dashes (- - - -).

CALL / MENU Indicators

At power-up, the CALL and MENU indicators should be OFF.

SPKR/PGM Volume Indicator

At power-up, the selected volume indicator is red, while the rest of them are green.
