Addresses 2 through 8 are typically assigned to groups of paging modules to create speaker broadcast
zones thought out the system. Paging modules assigned to the same group or zone address will activate
simultaneously when the address is received.
A typical programming scenario is to use one address for individual access, two to six addresses for zone
access, and one address for system-wide (all-call) access. The all-call address would be programmed into
every paging module.
Each address code may include digits 0–9, *, as well as the extended DTMF digits A, B, C, D. It can
contain up to eight digits. By using one or more of the DTMF digits A, B, C, or D, broadcast access will
be restricted to equipment capable of generating these extended DTMF digits.
Output Contact Function
These settings control the activation of the paging module’s contact closure output for each DTMF
address. The settings are in effect only then the paging module is activated. Use the pull-down menu to
make one of the following selections:
 No Change – The output contact will be unaffected when the corresponding DTMF address is
received.
 Activate – The output contact will change state when the corresponding DTMF address is received.
The output contact returns to the normal state when the Standby Time duration (3 seconds) expires.
 Activate+Hold – The output contact will change state when the corresponding DTMF address is
received. The output contact returns to the normal state when the Standby Time and the Hold Time
durations expire.
 De-Activate – If active, the relay will reset to its normal state immediately after receiving the
corresponding DTMF address. This is a function used to override the Standby Time and Hold Time
assigned to other DTMF addresses.
Use the slide bar to set the Hold Time. Valid range is 1 second to 30 minutes.
Using the radio button, select the normal state of the relay contact. This will be the relay state when
power is applied to the paging module. When power is removed, the contact will always be in the OPEN
state.
 Normally Open – Relay contact is OPEN when the unit is inactive and CLOSED when active.
 Normally Closed - Relay contact is CLOSED when the unit is inactive and OPEN when active.
Low Battery Alert
 Battery Checking – Select this checkbox to set the unit to test the battery voltage every 4 minutes.
If the battery voltage is low when the battery test occurs, the unit will broadcast a short alert tone.
The factory default “low battery” threshold is 11.5 V. If a backup battery is not connected to the
Paging Module, do not enable the Battery Checking.
 Alert Tone Volume – Selects the volume of the “low” alert tone as a fraction of the unit’s speaker
output level. The factory default setting is 50%.
