CHAPTER 1
Introduction
General Description
Introducing a totally re-engineered Zeus Intercom System—Zeus III is the next generation of small intercom system units,
giving smaller systems more options for their intercom configurations. We; now have 32 channels IN/OUT and two (2)
configurable party-line channels. This system is excellent for smaller installations, as well as OB (Outside Broadcast) vans. Its
compact size is perfect for small environments with limited space. With the addition of Ethernet, the Zeus III can be
configured from virtually anywhere on the network using AZedit Intercom software. Alternatively, the Zeus III can be directly
connected to AZedit through the use of the USB connector on the front panel. The Zeus II’s 24 DB-9 connectors have been
replaced with 32, RJ-45 connectors.
Features
Redundant Power Supplies The unit comes with two (2) completely independent power supplies powered from
separate AC (Alternating Current) feeds. Because of the extremely low power
consumption, the use of UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) units is possible.
USB Port The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is used for the AZedit Intercom software system
configuration.
Trunk Capable Using the dedicated DB-9 trunk connector with standard RS485 protocol, the Zeus III is
able to communicate in a trunked system.
10 Additional Audio Channels Expanding on the Zeus II’s 24-channel unit, we have added 10 additional audio channels
to the Zeus III; eight (8) channels of audio IN and OUT, as well as two (2) channels that
can be configured for party line use. The two (2) party-line channels interface two separate
2-wire lines to 4-wire lines. From the front panel, it can be configured for RTS, Audiocom
(Balanced), or ClearCom (Unbalanced) mode.
Remote Configuration With the addition of Ethernet to the Zeus III unit, you can now remotely configure your
Zeus III intercom system using the AZedit Intercom System software.
Dynamic Keypanel Addressing Zeus III now automatically addresses keypanels when they are connected to
the Zeus III frame. This eliminates the need for setting keypanel addresses and
maintaining port allocations.
Relays New relay connection supports Relay 1 and Relay 2.
Simultaneous Download Faster downloads to multiple ports supporting the same type of keypanels.

General Purpose Interface (GPI) Connector
The GPI connector provides eight (8) general purpose control outputs. The control inputs can be assigned, using AZedit, to
activate intercom ports, party lines, etc. The control outputs can also be assigned, using AZedit, to be activated by keypanel
keys. The control outputs can be used to control lighting, to key remote transmitter, to activate a paging system, etc.
Connections
The GPI inputs require +5 to +12VDC for activation. Figure 5 shows a typical connection. The GPI outputs are open collector
outputs and require an external voltage to operate. These output pull to common when activated (Figure 6 shows a typical
connection). Pin outs for the GPI inputs and outputs are summarized in Table 8.

1. Make sure the rate set here matches the rate set in AZedit. A 9600 baud permits a longer PC cable, but uploads and downloads are
slower (approximately 30 seconds for a complete system update). Alternatively, 38.4 kbaud provides faster uploads and downloads,
but the PC cable should be kept to a length less than 10 ft (3m), and some older PC's may not operate reliably at this speed.

24 Introduction Zeus III
Zeus III and GPIO-16
You can connect a GPIO-16 to the Zeus III intercom system. A GPIO-16 provides 16 GPI (General Purpose Inputs) and 16
GPO (General Purpose Outputs). GPIs can be set up as remotely controlled keypanel keys to activate intercom ports, party
lines, GPOs, etc. within the intercom system. GPOs are typically assigned for activation from keypanel keys. They can be used
to control lighting or to key remote transmitters, paging systems, etc.
The maximum number of devices that can be connected when using a GPIO-16 are as follows:
• Zeus, Zeus II, and ADAM CS = Four (4) devices (64 relays)
• ADAM, Zeus III and Cronus = 16 devices (256 relays)
NOTE: In the AZedit GPI Output window, Relays 1 – 8 are dedicated to Zeus III GPI Output. In the AZedit GPI Input
window, GPI Inputs 1 – 8 are dedicated to Zeus III GPI Inputs.For more information on the GPIO-16, see the
GPIO User Manual (9350-7842-000).

CHAPTER 2
Cables
Each Zeus III intercom system has unique requirements for cables, so it is not practical to apply these with the unit. A USB
interconnect cable has been provided, but even this may not be long enough for your system layout requirements. Most cables
need to be custom built. The following paragraphs and diagrams contain some useful general information for those who are
not familiar with cable construction. Connection diagrams are also included for all of the common types of Zeus III
connections.
Cable Requirements
We recommend 22AWG, stranded, twisted pair cable for your connections. For most applications, you can use unshielded
cable. Shielded cable is only required when some condition in the environment is inducing noise into the intercom system. For
keypanels and the TIF, the cables should have three (3) twisted pairs. To connect 4-wire audio devices, you need two (2)
twisted pair cables. The LCP-102 and GPIO-16 require a single twisted pair. Ask your intercom dealer about recommended
sources for cabling.

Party Line Introduction and Operation
Party Line Operation
The Zeus III integrates 32 4-wire intercom ports (ports 1 – 32) with two (2) 2-wire intercom ports (ports 33 and 34), allowing
audio to pass between the 2-wire channels and 4-wire channels. Any 2-wire system can be connected directly to the Zeus III
without an SSA-324 or a DSI-2008, saving the space and expense of supporting two (2) units to convert the signal.
IMPORTANT: Channels must be configured the same between products. For example, a PS-4001 connected to CH1 of
the Zeus III must be set to BAL on both units.

Party Line Gain Adjustment with Zeus III
Unlike the Zeus III 4-wire channels that can have their input and output gain adjusted, the 2-wire channels (Channel A and
Channel B) can only have their input gains adjusted. This is because there is a limit on the amount of gain a 2-wire device can
receive (see “Specifications” on page 11), therefore a limiter between the 2-wire device and the Zeus III system limits the
amount of gain received by the 2-wire device.
The range for this field is -20dB to +20dB.
The default is 0.0dB.

UPL Resource Guide
UPL (User Programmable Language) is a powerful feature which lets you quickly and easily program the intercom system to
perform output actions you specify based on input conditions you specify. The UPL Statements window displays information
concerning the UPL statements configured for your intercom system.
EXAMPLE:You can program the intercom system to load a new setup file at a specified time or load whenever
someone presses a particular keypanel key. On the other hand, you can program talk and listen path
to turn on or off at specified times. Using UPL Statements Setup, you can build the custom
operations quickly and easily to get the most out of your intercom system.
Use the Edit UPL Statement window to create your customized UPL statements.
To access the Edit UPL Statements window, do the following:
1. From the Alphas menu, select UPL Statements.
The User programmable Logic Statements window appears.
2. Double-click the UPL Statement you want to create.
The Edit UPL Statement window appears.

Invert Input A Check Box
The Invert Input A check box is used to reverse the input condition.
For example, if the input condition is Talk K e y, which by itself means, when a specified talk key is on, run the assigned output.
However, by selecting the Invert Input A check box, it means a specified talk key is off, run the assigned output.
The invert check box is often used in one UPL statement to cancel an action caused by some other UPL statement.

Operation Drop Down Menu
The Operation drop down menu is used to select the type of operator to use when joining Input A and Input B or when using
the Current Date, Current Time, or the Counter input for Input A. In all other cases, the Operation drop down menu is not used.
NOTE: Operators, also known as logical operators, are used to construct more complex searches in a database. They
help make a search more accurate. There are three (3) logical operators: AND, OR and NOT.Operators for Two
Input Conditions
Operator Description
AND If input A and input B are both true....then run the specified output.
OR If input A or input B (or both) are true....then run the specified output.
XOR If input A or input B (but not both) are true....then run the specified output.
Operators for Current Date and Current Time
Operator Description
= If the current date or time equals...
! = When the current date or time does not equal...
< When the current date or time is earlier than...
> = When the current date or time is equal to or later than...
> When the current date or time is later than...
< = When the current date or time is equal to or earlier than...
Example: Operators for current time have a 5-second window. For example, if you create a test for a specific time
(i.e., = 12:00:00), the given time is matched for a 5-second window. It returns a true result for the time
12:00:00 through 12:00:05. A test for inequality returns true for all but this 5-second window.
