**** Please note that accessory port local audio input channels are locked to the corresponding output zone and only one can be used per zone. E.g. Accessory port 1 local input connects to Zone 1. However, multiple wall panels and paging stations can be connected on the same accessory port.

STEP 1: DECIDE PORT WIRING LAYOUT

STEP 2: CONFIRM YOU DO NOT EXCEED THE FOLLOWING LIMITS

Maximum cable length per port| Accessories per port| Maximum Accessories in the system
---|---|---
100m| 8| 24
130m| 7
180m| 6
250m| 5
400m| 4
500m| 3

The maximum distances quoted in the table are due to DC’s current limitations.
The paging stations and wall panels can be locally powered to increase the cable length to a maximum of 500m. Please read the following additional document: Advanced accessory port wiring guide.

STEP 4: PORT TERMINATION – DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

The ZONE MIX uses the RS485 standard to communicate to wall panels and paging stations. RS485 requires that each end of the cable run is terminated to prevent signal corruption due to signal reflections in the cable.
The Accessory Ports are grouped in Pairs. 1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8. You must terminate the ZONE MIX and Accessories based on which ports you use.

  1. Terminate the ZONE MIX accessory ports, as per the table, using the PORT TERM switches
    ACCESSORY PORT TERMINAL  SWITCH SETTING

    ONE PORT USED| TERM| BOTH PORTS USED| TERM
    Port 1 OR Port 2 used| ON| Port 1 AND Port 2 used| OFF
    Port 3 OR Port 4 used| ON| Port 3 AND Port 4 used| OFF
    Port 5 OR Port 6 used| ON| Port 5 AND Port 6 used| OFF
    Port 7 OR Port 8 used| ON| Port 7 AND Port 8 used| OFF

  2. Terminate the LAST RS485 accessory on the port cable run. Paging station termination
