ML-116 INSTALLATION DATA
PAGING SYSTEM OPERATION
The ML-116 system supports the integration of a new or existing paging system. A Page Audio input, Page Control Room
Selects, and Normal/Priority mode page selects are provided for interface to the system. Option jumpers on each audio card
determine under what conditions normal mode page audio will be heard in the rooms.
The actual paging operation of a particular system will depend upon how paging was implemented by the audio system
design engineer/installing contractor.
The system supports two primary paging modes; Normal Paging and Priority Paging. During a Priority mode page, the room
audio will be muted and the page audio will be unconditionally switched into the selected rooms, regardless of room wallplate
settings. The page audio level is controlled only by the pre-configured amplifier gain settings, and page input level adjust
control on the ML-116 ACU. Any selected audio ( Mics and/or Music playing in the selected rooms) will be disabled for the
duration of the page. Caution should be used when selecting Priority mode paging to guard against interrupting any
meetings in progress.
During a Normal mode page, page audio will be switched into the selected rooms based on the current wallplate settings in
conjunction with the page configuration jumper settings. As shipped from the factory, Normal paging will occur during
music operation, but will be automatically disabled if Mic audio is enabled in the selected room. During a Normal page, page
audio will be mixed with any selected audio in the room ( Music only, based on factory settings). The page audio level is
controlled only by the pre-configured amplifier gain settings, and page input level adjust control on the ML-116 ACU. As
with the Priority mode paging, page volume level does not depend upon wallplate volume settings.
Users are encouraged to consult with their installing contractor to configure the ML-116 system paging options so as to
optimize the operation of a particular installation.
To initiate paging, select the desired rooms to be paged. Select the desired page mode, Normal or Priority, and speak into the
microphone. Page audio does not go through until both room and page mode selections are made. To end paging, deselect
page mode first, and then deselect rooms.
