4. Using a small standard screwdriver, make the following adjustments:
A. Adjust the Low Frequency Cut Off control to center position. This control cuts out the low frequency
bass so that horns and small speakers are not over-driven and distorted by excessive bass energy. Cutoff frequency is continuously adjustable from 50Hz (full CCW rotation) to 400 Hz (full CW rotation). See
Figure 9.
B. Adjust Music Input level to the center position. Clockwise rotation will increase the level. Listen and
set to a comfortable level. (Make sure the music input is not too high check for the overload light on
amp).
C. Adjust Music Ducking level to the fully counterclockwise position. This feature allows music to
continue to be heard during a page, but at a reduced level. The range is less than –40dB (full CCW) to –
6dB (full CW). If music is not
connected, set to full CCW.
D. Adjust the Page VOX (voiceactivated) sensitivity to the fully counterclockwise position.
E. Adjust page call to increase page volume or to lower page levels if overload light is on.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
The Controller is programmed to enable each zone to have different zone features, if required. There are two
ways to do the programming. One is via the RS-232 serial port on the Controller which is connected to an IBM
compatible (DOS) PC using the optional programming software.
An advantage of using a PC to configure the Controller is that screens can be viewed on the monitor to aid in
selecting the zones for various options. A re-programming of the entire system can be done before downloading
the configuration to the controller, saving down time. Furthermore, the old configuration can be saved and used
again.
16
Page 17
The other method works via the telephone access port (like calling to make a page), which accepts only
touchtone telephone keypad inputs (DTMF) tones. The Controller has the ability to retain all programming
options in non-volatile EEPROM memory or as a .CFG (configuration) file on a personal computer.
PROGRAMMING STEPS
CAUTION
The Zone Option switches must be set before the system is powered up, and therefore before
programming the system.
The Zone Option switches on the rear of the Controller and Zone Expansion units must be set to match the zone
option selected for programming. The slide switch for each zone must be manually set to Contact Closure (to
switch on/off a device, such as a door security lock, remote amplifier, etc.), Input Contact Closure, or Audio
Output, depending on the mode selected for each zone.
IMPORTANT! It is recommended that the paging zone decisions be made and filled in on the Zone Map and
Configuration Tables, located on pages 25-29 prior to setting zone option switches and
ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE

1. Dial 1 0
You will hear two beeps from the Controller.
2. Dial 2 5 3 2 7
After a long pause, you will hear three beeps from the Controller. The controller is now set to factory default
conditions.
3. Program the system options (refer to the following paragraphs).
You may exit the programming mode by dialing #.
2 0 DEFINE LENGTH OF ALIAS NUMBERS
This system option allows you to set the length (3 or 4 digits) of the ALIAS number field. The default is 2 digits. If
you wish to assign ALIAS numbers to the paging zones, you must set the length parameter. The ALIAS number
is the dialing extension for the zone. If no ALIAS numbers are used, the Physical Zone Code is the dialing
extension for a zone.
Note: This MUST be done before “Zone Map Option – Assigning ALIAS Numbers,” later in this section.
1. Dial 20 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
Press 3 or 4 to set length of ALIAS numbers (number of digits dialed to reach paging zone).
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
2. To verify the setting, dial 2 1 and repeat step 2 above.
2 2 SET SERIAL PORT BIT RATE
The speed (bit rate) of the controller's RS-232 serial port can be set to the rate of the computer monitor or visual
display. Default is 9600 bps. The bit rate may be changed at any time, but the Controller must be reset (power
off then on again) in order to take effect. (This is the only program change requiring the Controller to be reset).
1. Dial 2 2 to select this option

Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the status of this option, dial 2 3 and repeat step 2 above.
2 4 INHIBIT DIAL TONE DETECT
Supervision of the Station/Centrex Access mode is accomplished in 3 ways, by monitoring the loop current and
the audio signal (including dial tone), and a forced disconnect timer. This option (only applicable in the station
access mode) enables you to defeat the dial tone detect function in order to send a tone via the Telephone
Interface to the output.
1. Dial 2 4 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to Enable, or 1 to Inhibit.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the condition (OFF/ON) of the Dial Tone Detect option, dial 2 5 and repeat step 2
above.
3 0 SET CONNECT PASSWORD
This feature will not become active until the first time you enter a password, via the programming mode. The
factory default is NO password. The Connect password operates as a security block into the paging system,
restricting paging access to authorized users.
Note: You may want to use a short Connect password (2 or 3 digits only) for ease of use.
1. Dial 3 0 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the Password you wish to use (up to 6 digits). If the password has fewer than 6 digits, enter the # to
terminate the string.
Note: For example, 123456 is a valid password entry. 123# is also a valid password entry, resulting in
the password 123.
If you already have entered a password and want to remove it (to have NO password), just enter the # alone.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
To verify that the new Connect password has been established, dial 3 1 and repeat step 2 above.
3 2 SET PROGRAMMING PASSWORD
Establishing a Programming password will restrict access to the programming mode of the PagePac Plus
paging system. It is recommended that access to programming be restricted to the System Administrator,
Telecommunications Manager, or other selected users.
Note: Your Connect and Programming passwords should not be the same. If this feature is active and
the system has been accessed via the telephone interface, then after the first digit of your Programming
password is pressed, the dial tone will stop and will not be returned until the correct password is
entered or until the user hangs up and re-enters the system.
This feature will become active once any programming password has been entered via the programming mode.
You are not required to establish such a password. The factory set default programming password is * *.
1. Dial 3 2 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the Password you wish to use (up to 6 digits). If the password has fewer than 6 digits,
enter the # to terminate the string.
NOTE: For example, 234567 is a valid password entry. 234# is also a valid password entry, resulting in
the password 234.
18
Page 19
If you already have entered a password and now want to remove it (to have NO password), just enter the #
alone. Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify that the new Programming password has been established, dial 3 3 and repeat step
2 above.
Forgot the Password? If either or both the connect password and programming password are forgotten, it will
be necessary to call the Help line (refer to page ii) for instructions how to erase the two passwords and be able
to enter new ones.
4 0 TURN CONFIRMATION TONE ON/OFF
When the option is ON, a tone will be sent to the telephone interface after a zone has been selected and before
a page can be made. The default setting is ON.
1. Dial 4 0 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to turn OFF, or 1 to turn ON. Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the Confirmation Tone condition (OFF or ON), dial 4 1 and repeat step 2 above.
4 2 TURN PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT TONE ON/OFF
This tone is very similar to the initial talk-back warning tone, in the sense that it is sent to a zone when the zone
is accessed. This tone will be sent out to both speakers in the zone selected and to the telephone interface.
After this tone is sent, you may begin your page message. Default is ON.
1. Dial 4 2 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to turn OFF, or 1 to turn ON. Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the Pre- Announcement Tone condition (OFF or ON), dial 4 3 and repeat step 2 above.
4 4 SET TALKBACK WARNING TONE
This tone is intended to alert a person that their conversation is being monitored through the paging system
loudspeaker. If Talkback is optioned for YES, then the choices will be Initial only, Initial and 30 Second Repeat
or Off. The default setting for this parameter is Initial and 30 Second Repeat.
1. Dial 4 4 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to turn OFF, 1 to select INITIAL tone only, or 2 to select Initial and 30 Second repeat.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the condition of the Talkback Warning Tone, dial 4 5 and repeat step 2 above.
5 0 SET VOX DISCONNECT TIMING
The system will hang up on a page if no audio is detected for the programmed amount of time. The default time
is 30 seconds, but can be varied from 10 seconds to 60 seconds, in 10 second increments, or can be disabled
completely.
1. Dial 5 0 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial the code to select a duration for the VOX Disconnect Timing:
0 to turn OFF
1 to select 10 seconds 4 to select 40 seconds
2 to select 20 seconds 5 to select 50 seconds
3 to select 30 seconds 6 to select 60 seconds
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the duration of the VOX Disconnect Timing, dial 5 1 and repeat step 2 above.
5 2 ENABLE COMPUTER MONITOR
This option selects a device to be connected to the Controller RS-232 port, a computer monitor for logging of all
paging activity or a visual message display. The default setting is Computer Monitor.
By selecting Computer Monitor (the default option), the system is enabled to monitor activity on Attendant Access, Telephone Interface, and Night Bell inputs. This feature requires that a PC computer be
connected to the RS-232 port of the Controller. Whenever the input becomes active, ASCII characters
will be sent out the RS-232 port (DB9 pin connector) to the computer. The ASCII characters will be inter
19
Page 20
cepted by a special software package in the computer that logs the time, date, input zone, type of activity, zone that was paged, and duration of the activity. All such input activity to the paging system can
then be viewed (and recorded) on the computer.
By selecting Display, the monitoring activity described above enables commands to be sent to a visual message
display where preprogrammed messages are displayed.

5 6 SET SUPERVISED TRUNK MODE
If the host telephone system does not have a supervised trunk option this feature does not apply.
Proceed to Program 5 8.
Note: Once the option has been configured, you should place the Controller Telephone Mode switch to
the Ground Start position. Connect the telephone interface to a Loop Start trunk on the host system
using a standard two-conductor (not four-conductor) RJ-11 cable.
The Supervised Trunk access mode provides both VOX Disconnect and Forced Disconnect timeouts. When the
Controller detects that the it has been off hook for two minutes, it opens the trunk circuit for one second, ending
the call. Also, if no voice activity is detected for the period specified by the VOX Disconnect programming option
Program 50(normally 30 seconds), or if the telephone is overridden by a higher priority activity (i.e., attendant
access), the call is disconnected.
Note: The Ground Start and Station Access modes are not available when the Controller is configured
for Supervised Trunk mode. Supervised Trunk mode must be turned off to re-enable these access
modes.
1. Dial 5 6 to select this option
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Press 0 to turn OFF, or 1 to turn ON
Hear TRIPLE beeps.

5 8 SPECIFY ZONE MICROPHONE
This option allows you to specify that a zone microphone is attached to the Attendant Access interface. When
the Zone Microphone option is enabled (ON), the controller will wait for a zone to be selected from the
microphone keypad before it makes a page. When disabled (OFF), the controller reverts to its normal (All Call)
operation.
1. Dial 5 8 to select this option
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to turn OFF, or 1 to turn ON
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the condition (OFF/ON) of the Zone Microphone option, dial 5 9 and repeat step 2
above.
GENERAL ZONE AND ZONE GROUP CONFIGURATIONS
General Zone and Zone Group Configurations are options that apply to selected zones or groups, not to the
entire system. The steps following Copy Command, describe each option.
1 2 COPY COMMAND
The COPY command can be used to copy the configuration of a zone that has already been optioned, to one or
more additional zones. This saves re-entering the same parameters over again, to duplicate the parameters of
an existing zone.
1. Dial 1 2 to activate COPY command.
Hear a DOUBLE beep tone.
2. Enter the zone number that you wish to copy from (i.e., 01).
Hear DOUBLE beep tone.
3. Enter the zone number of the beginning of the range of zones you wish to copy to.
Hear a DOUBLE beep tone.
4. Enter the zone number of the END of the zone range to be copied to.
Hear a TRIPLE beep tone.
Note: Program the Controller using the physical zone number.
6 0 ZONE MAP OPTION -- ASSIGNING ALIAS NUMBERS
Note: Before doing this option, you MUST do “Define Length of ALIAS Numbers” (Program 2 0).
Zone Map permits you to assign the dialing code, called the ALIAS zone code, that you will dial to access a
particular zone by telephone (i.e., instead of dialing 02 to make a page, you could dial 2202). The factory default
is NONE: no ALIAS numbers are pre-programmed. The zones are identified by their 2-digit Physical Zone
Codes (01 thru 56 and groups 81-88) as the default condition.
Digit string length for an ALIAS code can be 3 or 4 digits, but all ALIAS codes must have the same number of
digits. The ∗ and # digits are not applicable digits for zone ALIAS numbers.
Note: If ALIAS numbers are enabled, you MUST use them for programming from now on. When an
ALIAS number for a zone is changed, all the previous zone options for that zone will be transferred to
the new zone number.
Refer to your own Zone Map and the Example Zone Map at the end of this programming section.
1. Dial 6 0 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the 2-digit PHYSICAL zone/group code, of the zone or group to give an ALIAS number.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
3. Enter the ALIAS zone/group number you have chosen.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the assignment of an ALIAS to a selected zone or group, dial 6 1 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
6 2 TYPE OF ZONE: INPUT OR OUTPUT
The choices here are INPUT #1, INPUT #2, and OUTPUT. Be sure the manually selectable Zone Option switch
on the rear of the Controller or Zone Expansion Unit is set to match the type of zone selected (input or output).
Input #1 would be used for an emergency alert, say a connection to your alarm system. Input #2 would be a
lower priority, say a doorbell input.
21
Page 22
Note: The INPUT #1 option must only be assigned to physical zones 1 through 8 (on the Controller).
The factory default is OUTPUT (i.e., all zones are output type, by default).
1. Dial 6 2 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the number of the zone or zone group to be optioned. Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned.
Otherwise, use Physical zone/group numbers.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
3. Press 0 to designate the zone as OUTPUT
Press 1 to designate it as INPUT #1, or
Press 2 to designate it as INPUT #2.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the zone type assignment, dial 6 3 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
SET INPUT PRIORITY ARRANGEMENT
The input priorities are pre-set at the factory. You may only assign a priority level to inputs such as security
alarm, or doorbell by assigning them to Input #1 or Input #2, which differ in priority.
Note: These priorities cannot be rearranged. Also, if you select more than one zone to be inputs of the
same level (Input 1, for example), such inputs will be handled on a first in, first served basis. See Type of
Zone option, under Zone/Group Configurations programming, later in this section.
The default setting is:
1 – Attendant Access
2 – Input #1
3 – Telephone Access
4 – Input #2
5 – Night Bell
6. Music (always lowest priority).
6 4 SET ZONE GROUPING TO PAGE
This option allows you to select a group of zones to be paged at the same time. The number of zone groups that
can be configured is eight; the maximum number of zones per group is 56 zones.
The factory default is NONE (there are no default zone groups).
You will need to repeat this procedure for each zone group you wish to set up.
1. Dial 6 4 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the zone code, of the zone group to be defined (81 thru 88).
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
For example, dial 81 for zone group 81 (Zone group 80 is always All Call). Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned.
Otherwise, use Physical zone/group numbers.
3. Enter zone codes of each zone to be included in the group.
Hear a Confirmation Tone for each zone, then dial tone.
4. Press # to end the string of zones.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
For example, 01 (tone), 02 (tone), 13 (tone), 14 (tone), #, indicates zones 1, 2, 13, and 14 are included in this
group. Enter the codes consecutively, with no digit or character between them. Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned.
Otherwise, use Physical zone/group numbers.
5. To verify the zone group assignment, dial 6 5 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
6 6 SET ZONE OR GROUP ZONE TO REMOTE MONITOR
This option selects a zone or zone group for computer monitoring, (logging of paging activity), or for visual
message display. The default setting is off (Refer to Program 5 2 and 5 4).
1. Dial 6 6 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter zone or zone group number.
3. Dial the code to activate this option:
0 to select OFF
22
Page 23
1 to select ON.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the status of this option, dial 6 7 and repeat step 2 above.
OUTPUT ZONE/GROUP CONFIGURATIONS
These options apply to zones or groups already configured as outputs (see Program 62, Type of Zone). All
these parameters can be individually optioned per zone. For a summary of these options, see the Programming
Quick Reference Chart at the end of this section.
7 0 SET OUTPUT ZONE TYPE
This option selects the type of output for an individual output zone. The choices here are Audio/Normally Open,
Momentary Open, Normally Closed, System Handshake, Toggle, Phantom, and Attendant Access Handshake.
The Audio/Normally Open option is the default.
When the System Handshake option is chosen, the closure will energize when a valid Off Hook condition has
been detected. The Attendant Access Handshake zone provides an output contact closure when Attendant
Access interface is accessed.
Note: System Handshake is a feature required by certain PBX systems: when they access the paging
system, they require a return acknowledgment signal – the “handshake” – from the Controller.
A Phantom Zone is an output zone that exists only in software. If a page is made to a Phantom zone, the
controller will send a message to an attached monitoring device (if configured) and will issue confirmation tone,
but will take no action with respect to the zone's hardware. This allows uninstalled zones to be used to select
messages on a visual display.
The Momentary Open, Normally Closed and Toggle options are intended to be used for controlling door striker
plates, for instance, to permit a security door to be unlocked. The Momentary Open will stay energized for as
long as the zone is selected. The Toggle will stay energized until the zone is selected again and change relay
until it is accessed again. Normally Closed will open only when the specific zone is selected. Neither of these
modes will respond to an Attendant Access page, an All-Call and/or Zone Grouping page.
Repeat this procedure for each output zone.
1. Dial 7 0 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the output zone number.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
Note: Use alias numbers, if optioned. Otherwise, use physical zone/group numbers.
3. Enter the code for the type of output you wish to select:
0 selects AUDIO/N.O. (Normally Open)
1 selects Momentary Open
2 selects N/C (Normally Closed)
3 selects Sys HS (System Handshake)
4 selects Toggle
5 selects Phantom
6 selects AA Ready (Attendant Access Handshake)
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the Type of Output assignment, dial 7 1 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
7 2 SET PAGE ENABLE
This output zone parameter enables paging for a selected output zone or zone group. The choice for this
selection is YES/NO, with the default being YES. Repeat this procedure for each output zone or zone group.
Note: If you make an all-call page and this option is selected NO in either a zone group or individual
ones, then an all-call page will be made to all other zones except the ones specified. If the decision
is NO for the all-call zone and an all-call page is made, then an error tone will be returned to you.
1. Dial 7 2 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
23
Page 24
2. Enter the zone number, of the zone or group you wish to configure.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
Note: Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned. Otherwise, use physical zone/group numbers.
3. Enter 0 for NO (Page Not Enabled) or 1 for YES (Page enabled)
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
To verify the status of Page Enable for a given zone, dial 7 3 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
7 4 SET MUSIC ENABLE IF BACKGROUND MUSIC IS USED
This is an individual zone output parameter, that enables background music to be broadcast to a selected output
zone (in the absence of a higher priority paging output). The choice is YES/NO, with the default being NO.
Repeat this procedure for each output zone that you wish to have background music.
1. Dial 7 4 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the zone number.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
Note: Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned. Otherwise, use physical zone/group numbers.
3. Enter 0 for NO (Music Not Enabled) or 1 for YES (Music enabled)
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the status of Music Enable for a given zone, dial 7 5 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
7 6 SET TALKBACK ENABLE
This is a zone or zone group output parameter that enables talkback capability for a selected output zone or
group. The choice is YES/NO, with the default being set to NO.
All speakers in a zone or group will be active 2-way speakers if talkback has been enabled. Repeat this
procedure for each output zone or zone group that you wish to have talkback.
1. Dial 7 6 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the zone or zone group number.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
3. Enter 0 for NO (Not Enabled) or 1 for YES (Enabled)
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the status of Talkback Enable for a given zone, dial 77 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
Note: Only 2 talkback speakers are recommended per zone.
7 8 SET NIGHT BELL ENABLE
This is an individual zone output parameter. The choice is YES/NO with the default being NO. With this
parameter set to YES, night bell will be sent to selected outputs whenever ring voltage is present on the night
bell input (from the PBX to the controller).
If a closure is required to trigger the night bell, then a zone will need to be configured as an input to send night
bell to designated zones when a closure is present. This is discussed in program 92 and 94, Tone Selection and
Tone Routing.
You will need to repeat this procedure for each output zone that you wish to receive the night bell signal.
1. Dial 7 8 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the zone or zone group number. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
Note: Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned. Otherwise, use physical zone or group numbers.
3. Enter 0 for NO (Not Enabled) or enter 1 for YES (Enabled). Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the status of Night Bell Enable for a given zone, dial 7 9 and repeat steps 2 and 3 ABOVE.
9 0 PASS DTMF TO THE OUTPUT
This zone output option enables the Touchtone telephone keypad tones (DTMF) to be passed through the
Controller and output to a second controller or other auxiliary device.
The choice is YES/NO, with the default being NO. Operating the unit in the default mode, you may switch from
zone to zone (within the same Controller) without hanging up, simply by dialing the zone number of the zone
you wish to switch to. The DTMF tones you dial will be muted (not sent out as audio) as soon as they are
detected by the controller.
Access to the first zone will be disconnected when the zone switch has been accomplished.
When you have accessed a zone with this parameter set to YES, DTMF will be sent out as un-muted audio but
the Controller will not respond to the DTMF tones (and will not switch zones).
24
Page 25
This YES option, with DTMF tones enabled to the output, is useful when you have more than one Controller
connected in a system. The DTMF tone is passed through the first controller (not triggering a zone change) to
the second controller (or other auxiliary device).
You will need to repeat this procedure for each output zone or zone group that you wish to send DTMF tones to
the output.
1. Dial 9 0 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the zone or zone group number.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
3. Enter 0 for NO (Not pass DTMF) or enter 1 for YES (Pass DTMF)
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the status of DTMF Pass for a given zone dial 9 1 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
INPUT ZONE/GROUP OPTIONS
These options apply to zones or groups already configured as inputs (see Type of Zone, Program 6 2). These
options are summarized in the Programming Quick Reference Chart, at the end of this section.
9 2 TONE SELECTION
If a zone is configured to be an input and is activated, then a tone may be selected to be directed to whatever
zone(s) are selected in Tone Routing, Program 9 4. The tone selections are listed in step 3.
For example, you wish to have a doorbell pushbutton input cause a chime to be heard in certain zones. You
have already configured the zone of the doorbell as an input zone. You need to select the tone (chime) you wish
to be heard in the output zones, when the doorbell is pressed. This is called Activate Tone via an Input Closure,
on the Quick Reference Chart.
The default setting for this option is NONE (not activated).
1. Dial 9 2 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the number of the input zone (i.e., the zone containing the doorbell pushbutton).
Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned. Otherwise, use Physical zone/group numbers.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
3. Enter the tone option, 0 through 7.
0 None
1 Chime
2 Siren
3 Warble Siren
4 Night Bell
5 Fast Ring
6 Steady Tone
7 Door Bell
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify the tone option for a given input zone, dial 9 3 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
9 4 SET TONE ROUTING
Whatever zones are selected here will receive the tone selected in the previous option, Tone Selection.
For example, you have optioned an input zone to receive a doorbell pushbutton input. And you have selected a
tone (Program 9 2) to be output when the doorbell input is received. Now you must select the output zone or
zone group which will receive the tone.
1. Dial 9 4 to activate Tone Routing.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the input zone number.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
3. Enter the output zone or zone group number.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.

4. To verify Tone Routing, dial 9 5 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
Note: Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned. Otherwise, use physical zone/group numbers.
9 6 AUDIO SOURCE ENABLE
The primary use for this feature is to allow the paging system to be used for door service. If optioned, whenever
a selected zone is active (i.e., the doorbell pushbutton), an audio source (either Telephone Access or Attendant
Access) will be routed automatically to a zone (the door speakerphone) selected in Audio Routing, below. The
default for this option is NONE.
1. Dial 9 6 to select Audio Source Enable.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the input zone number.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
Note: Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned. Otherwise, use physical zone numbers.
3. Enter 0 (NONE), 1 (AA, Attendant Access), or 2 (T/R, Telephone Access) to select the
audio source.(or none) to be enabled when this zone is activated.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
4. To verify your selection, Dial 9 7 and repeat steps 2 and 3, above.
9 8 SET AUDIO ROUTING
If optioned, whenever a selected input zone with “Audio Source Enabled” is active, the audio source (either
Telephone Access or Attendant Access) will be routed to the selected zone or group. The default for this
parameter is NO ZONES.
Door Service
The primary use for this feature is to allow the paging system to be used for door service. For example, you
have optioned the doorbell input zone to enable Telephone Access, and you wish now to select the door
speaker to be the output zone for this Telephone Access audio.
The audio path will remain routed for 10 seconds. If the user accesses the controller during the 10 second
period, they will automatically be routed to the zone specified in this procedure. If the user accesses the
controller after the time expires, the user will receive a dial tone.
Note: If a Connect password has been programmed in the system, you will have to access the paging
system and enter the password, before being automatically routed to the zone.
If the doorbell input has a higher priority than the telephone access and is activated while telephone access
paging is underway, then you will receive the tone specified in the option Tone Selection, above, and then will
be automatically routed to the proper zone.
1. Dial 9 8 to select Audio Routing.
Hear DOUBLE beeps.
2. Enter the input zone or group zone number.
Hear DOUBLE beeps.
3. Enter the output zone / group ALIAS number.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
Note: Use ALIAS numbers, if optioned, otherwise, use physical zone numbers.
4. To verify your selection, dial 9 9 and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.

PAGE PAC PLUS CONTROLLER ACCESS OPTIONS:
The Dry Loop 600 Ohm is a four wire interface consisting of a dry audio pair with a 600 Ohm impedance and a
control pair. The page input is activated when the control pair receives a contact closure from the host
37
Page 38
equipment. This feature is beneficial for page port of telephone system with control contact closure pair and
DTMF signaling..
Station access/CO mode is for access from PBX analog station, centrex or central office lines, providing 90
VAC ring voltage and 400 milisecond disconnect supervision.
The Ground Start mode is a two wire interface and has a 600 Ohm input impedance. When a trunk is
accessed, a momentary ground is sent to the ring-side of the pair by the host equipment, loop current is
detected and the tip-side of the pair is closed. Disconnect supervision of the ground start mode is accomplished
by monitoring the loop current.
Note: Ground start interface requires common ground between paging input and telephone system by
direct line or other common grounding methods.
The Loop Start mode is two wire interface and has a 600 Ohm input impedance. The host equipment draws
loop current from the talk-battery which is supplied by the Controller. Disconnect supervision of the loop start
mode is accomplished by monitoring the loop current.

APPLICATION NOTES
NIGHT BELL
There are two different Night Bell connections possible to the Controller. These are illustrated in
Figure 20.
40
Page 41
From an Electronic Key Telephone System
A programmer needs to know what type of Night Bell connection exists between the telephone system and the
Controller. In one case, typically with a Key telephone system, where the phone system produces a contact
closure. Night Bell input is wired to one of the eight Controller zones then you will need to configure it as an
input zone.
Required Programming: Type of Zone, Program 6 2 , Tone Selection, Program 9 2 and Tone Routing, Program
9 4. Set the Controller Zone option switch to contact closure input. (see Figure 20).
From a PBX or Centrex System
In the other case, typically with a PBX system that produces a ring voltage output, the Night Bell connection is
not wired to one of the eight input zones, but to the connector on the rear of the Controller labeled "N.B." pins 5
and 6, nightbell. ( see Figure 2 0)
Required Programming: Night Bell Enable, program 78.

Answering the Doorbell
The person inside the building, having heard the door chime, can simply dial the proper extension and establish
two-way communications with the door speaker.
If the input zone (door bell) has been optioned for Audio Enable, then the user's telephone access (or attendant
access, depending on the option chosen in Audio Enable) connects via the paging system to the door speaker,
for a period of 1 0 seconds. If the user doesn't pick up the phone until after the 1 0 seconds has passed, he
must dial the Door Speaker zone code to talk.

If the doorbell input has a higher priority than T/A (i.e., is Input #1), and is activated while T/A paging is in
progress, or during a dial tone, then the user will hear the door chime tone and be automatically routed to the
door speaker for two-way communication.
Required Programming: Type of Zone, Program 6 2 (interface the door speaker- phone as an output zone),
Output Zone Type, Program 7 0 , (configure output for Audio to the door speaker-phone), Page Enable, step 22,
(enables page to the door speaker), Talkback Enable, Program 7 6 (enable talk-back for the door speaker), and
Audio Routing, Program 9 8 (route the telephone access audio to the door speaker-phone).
Door Unlock
The person inside the building can also remotely unlock the door, by entering a numeric code (Door Code) on
the telephone's keypad.
Required Programming: Type of Zone, program 6 2, (set the door lock device as an output zone), and Output
Zone Type, program 7 0 (momentary, normally-open switch).
Note: The door ajar switch, if any, should be programmed similarly to a doorbell as an input zone,
resulting in a tone.

TALKBACK
Any audio output zone can be programmed for talkback. Each Talkback Paging Zone must use shielded cable,
with the shield grounded at the Controller Zone Connector, not the speaker. All speakers in a zone will be twoway speakers, if talkback has been enabled for a zone. Therefore all speakers in the talkback zone will pick up
47
Page 48
ambient noise, as well as the voices of persons addressing the paging speakers. For that reason, it is not
recommended to have more than two speakers in a zone that is designated for talkback. There should be low
ambient background noise levels of 72 dB or less for efficient operation.
Required Programming: Type of Zone, Program 6 2 (set to Output), Talkback Enable, Program 7 6.
(activates two-way speakers).
CONNECTING ADDITIONAL CONTROLLERS OR REMOTE AMPLIFIERS
Figure 24 illustrates the additional Controller and Remote AmpliCenter interface.
When additional Controller(s) or AmpliCenters are daisy-chained with the first Controller, you will want to ensure
that the programming option DTMF Enabled to the Output has been selected for a YES condition for output
zones. This permits paging by telephone in one zone, to dial another zone number (residing on the remote
Controller unit) and automatically reach that zone. Your DTMF dial input tones are passed through the first
(main) Controller, to the second one, where a switch of zones occurs in response to the dialed tones.
Required Programming: Type of Zone, Program 6 2 (contact closure output to remote Controller), Enable DTMF
to output, Program 9 0 (send tone to remote Controller).
