Installation
Option DIP Switch Settings
Switch 1: Latch Enable/Disable
Default Setting: Open: Enable
Description: An intercom key can always be turned ON for momentary listening by pressing and holding the key during the
monitoring. There is also an electronic latching feature that lets you tap intercom keys to9 turn them ON or OFF. This
permits convenient hands-free monitoring. However it can also result in a listen circuit being left ON unintentionally.
NOTE: DIP switch 1 disable latching for the entire keypanel. If you just need to disable latching for selected keys,
leave DIP switch 1 in the “open” position. Then, disable latching for the desired keys using the “D” check boxes in the
Keypanels/Ports setup screen in AZedit.

Switch 8: Normal / Forced Firmware Download
Default Setting Open: Normal Operation
Description In this mode, you can choose to run in normal mode or in forced firmware download. This means that once the keypanel
is restarted, it will automatically look for a copy of the latest firmware to download.
Power Up
Turn ON the power switch. Asterisks may briefly appear in the alpha numeric displays. After a few moments, the displays
should show listen key assignments (or dashes where there are not assignments). If either keypanel continues to displays
asterisks, it cannot establish communications with the intercom system. In this case, check the intercom cable and connections.
At power-up, the alphanumeric displays will first show asterisks (****). After several seconds, the intercom key assignments
will display.
NOTE: If the keypanel cannot establish communication with the intercom system, all alphanumeric displays will continue to
show asterisks. Check the keypanel to Matrix cable connection if this occurs. If the keypanel loses communications with the
intercom, it will not revert ****’s for 30 seconds.
Setup Menu
Before using each keypanel, you must set the keypanel address.
Address Switch Setting - General Information
In Zeus, ADAM CS, and ADAM Intercom Systems, intercom ports are arranged in groups of eight. All ports in a group share
a common data port. Each PAM-32 keypanel is uniquely identified on the data port by the setting of it Address switch. The
8
Operation
method of determining the proper Address switch setting varies for each intercom system. Use the method for your intercom
system as described below. Then set the white point on the Address switch to point to the correct setting.
Address Setting for Zeus
Intercom port connectors on the Zeus back panel are arranged in three groups of eight intercom ports. For each group,
intercom port connectors are labeled ID1, ID2, etc. When you connect a PAM-32 keypanel to Zeus, set the Address switch to
match the corresponding ID number on the Zeus backpanel. Note, the address switch setting 0 and 9 through F are not used.
Address for ADAM CS
Each Audio I/O card contains 1 group of intercom ports. However, the method of breaking out the groups depends on the type
of connectors on the back panel.
ADAM CS with RJ-12 or DB-9 back panel:
The intercom port connectors are arranged in groups of 8. The first connector at the left for each group is Address 1, the next is
Address 2, and so forth.
NOTE: Address switch settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.
Address Setting for Adam
Each Audio I/O card contains 1 group of 8 intercom ports. Determine the address setting from Figure X. To use the table,
locate the intercom port number to which the PAM-32 Address will be connected. Then, read across the Address column to
find the Address number.
PAM-32 Addressing
A rotary switch is used to indicate the logical port address the key panel is to use when communicating with the Matrix. The
switch is read continuously through polling by the matrix. If the port address is changed, the new address is not seen on a
powered unit until the power is recycled.
NOTE: The Address port, by default, is shipped with an invalid address to ensure that there are no conflicts with existing
keypanels. It is important to set the address port for the KP-32 keypanel for it to function properly.
In Zeus, ADAM CS, and ADAM intercom system, intercom ports are arranged in groups of 8. Within each group, each
keypanel is uniquely identified by its Address switch setting. In the below example, the Address switch has a white pointer
pointing at position 7, indicating port 7.
Operation
Operation is identical for each keypanel.
Listen Key Operation
ONE Mode: ONE mode gives preference to a single active key. Tap a key to turn it on. The green LED lights. When you tap
another key, the first key turns off and the second key turns on.
MANY Mode: MANY mode gives preference to many keys being on at once. Tap any key to latch it in the ON position. The
green LED will be list while the key is ON. You can tap several keys to latch them on.

Basic Operation
Screen Saver Operation
If the PAM-32 is set for screen saver operation, the alpha numeric display automatically shuts off after a user defined period of
inactivity. The display reactivates on incoming call or when the keypanel operator actuates any control. DIP switch 3 enables
and disables the screen saver operation.
NOTE: You can override the normal time-out period for the screen saver operation and immediately place the keypanel in
screen saver mode.
Selecting Headset or Speaker
Tap the Headset/Vol. Sel. key. The Vol. Sel. display alternates between Hdst and Spkr with each key tap. The Headset LED
lights when the headset is selected and is off when the speaker is selected.
Listen Volume Adjustments
By default, the Vol. control adjusts the listen volume for the speaker or headset, whichever appears in the Vol. Sel. display. The
level of auxiliary program inputs 1 & 2 (if no GPI/O board is present and Aux inputs are enabled) and the level of incoming
audios from the intercom matrix can be adjusted. To adjust a level, press the Vol. Sel. button until the desired source appears in
the Vol. Sel. display (Aux 1, Aux 2, or ICOM). Then, use the Vol. control to adjust the listen volume. The Vol. control defaults
back to the speaker or headset after about one minute of inactivity of the control. The minimum volume level for either the
keypanel speaker or headset may be adjusted.
NOTE: You can save the volume adjustments to be the power-up defaults using “Service Menu, Save Cfg”.
