Introduction

The Australian Monitor ZONE MIX Paging Station (ZMPS) is a software configurable paging station with a supercardioid gooseneck microphone. The ZMPS is designed to be used with the ZONEMIX system to provide paging and pre- recorded message playback to individual zones, a combination of zones or all zones. Connection to the ZONE MIX is via low cost CAT 5 cable. Ample label space is provided on the ZMPS for easy operation and LED indicators provide the user with visual feedback of the zones being paged or if the system is busy. A rear panel gain control allows level adjustment along with an internal audio limiter to guarantee voice  clarity.

WARNING
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT USE THE PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE PLUG TO WIDE SLOT & FULLY INSERT.
CAUTION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING OTHER THAN THAT CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS UNLESS YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO DO SO.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
For European Union countries: This symbol on
the product or its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Please contact your local authority for further details of your nearest designated collection point.

CONTROLS

1. SOFTWARE-DEFINED BUTTON
   There are 13 software configurable buttons on the ZMPS. Each button can be configured to select a single zone, groups of zones or to activate a pre- recorded announcement. Use the ZONEMIX PC control software to assign the required function to each button.

2. CLEAR
   This button clears all selected zones

3. ALL PAGE
   This button pages to all zones. It is momentary so must be held while talking into the microphone. It activates the microphone and mutes or ducks the program sources (depending on configuration).
   It does NOT clear the current zone selection configuration so the paging station will return to its previous state (selected zones) once the ALL PAGE button is released.

4. ZONE PAGE
   This button pages to the currently selected zone/s as indicated by their respective LEDs. The zones being paged have their program sources muted or ducked (depending on configuration) and the microphone becomes active.

5. CHIME
   The chime LED will turn on to indicate the pre-announce chime is playing. Do not speak through the ZMPS until this LED is off.

6. BUSY
   The busy LED will turn on when the system is busy performing another page. This can be caused by the local paging station (you are making a page) or a remote paging station being in use.
   Paging and messaging are not possible while the system is busy, however zone selections can still be made.

7. GAIN
   To accommodate different speech levels, there is a gain control on rear of the ZMPS. Adjust the level to provide clear paging audio.

8. ACCESSORY PORT
   Connect the ZMPS to the ZONEMIX accessory ports using Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 cable.

9. PORT TERMINATION SWITCHES
   Turn both switches ON (Up) if the ZMPS is the last device on an accessory cable run.
   NOTE: Turn off the ZONE MIX when making wiring or termination changes.

CONNECTING THE ZMPS

1. ZMPS WIRING
   Wire the ZMPS paging station as per the images below.
   Category 5, 5e and 6 cabling are supported.
   T-568A wiring is recommended. However, T-568B is also supported.

2. DAISY CHAINING ZMPS STATIONS
   If you need to daisy chain ZMPS paging stations on the same accessory port run, use a terminal block or RJ45 splitter as shown. (Not included)

3. ZMPS TERMINATION (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP)
   If the ZMPS is the LAST device on an accessory port cable run it MUST be terminated using the rear panel “PORT TERM” DIP switches by turning them to the ON position.
   If the ZMPS is NOT the LAST device on the accessory port cable run the “PORT TERM” switches must be OFF.
   The ZONE MIX system uses the RS485 standard to communicate with the paging stations. RS485 requires that each end of a cable run is terminated to prevent signal corruption due to signal reflections in the cable.

4. POWER ON THE ZONEMIX4/8
   Once the paging stations have been correctly wired and connected to the ZONE MIX via the accessory ports, power on the ZONEMIX4/8.
   The ZMPS paging station with than flash all LEDs every second.
   This indicates that the ZMPS is waiting to be PAIRED with the ZONE MIX using the PC control software.

5. P AIRING AND CONFIGURATION Pairing and configuring the ZMPS is performed using the ZONEMIX control software available on the Australian monitor website: www.australianmonitor.com.au
   Please consult the ZONEMIX4/8 manual for detailed instructions on pairing ZMPS stations and configuring the button functions.
