Paging Input
The paging input allows announcements to be made over the
system, and, if required, for Zones to be momentarily muted, in
conjunction with a doorbell or a phone system.
The paging feature needs to be activated from an external
source via the “paging trigger” RCA-type input jack on the back
of the RMZ-955. Any device which shorts the trigger input will
cause the controller to enter its paging mode. For example, a
doorbell, a phone system , or a keyed announcement micro-
phone system could provide this control.
The “Paging Audio In” RCA jack is connected to the audio output
of the announcement system (phone or microphone amplifier).
The “Paging Audio Output” jack can be connected to the Paging
Audio Input on a second controller (in a large multi-controller
system) or to the RCA input of an external amplifier.

Paging Inhibit
The paging function is individually configurable for each zone.
The installer can select which Zones will receive or not receive
an announcement when the paging is activated. Each Zone has
an internal micro switch which is used to set the paging function
ON/OFF for that zone. These switches are accessed by removing
the top cover of the RMZ-955 by a qualified technician. Make
sure that the AC power line is disconnected before removing
the cover.

Notes:
If a Zone is in Standby (or is listening to Input 1, 2, or 3) and its
paging switch is set to OFF, the Zone will remain in its present
status when the paging is activated for the rest of the system. It
will not be muted and no announcement will be heard.
If a Zone is listening to Input 4, the paging input will be heard
when activated, regardless of whether its paging switch is set to
ON or OFF.
