Volume Adjustment
The paging module’s speaker volume can be adjusted remotely using DTMF signaling. To change the
speaker volume, the paging module must first be accessed using either Generic or Selective operating
modes as described above.
Once active, the operator must enter the “*” symbol from the DTMF keypad on the transmitting device
(telephone, radio, etc.). Upon receiving the “*”, the paging module activates a test tone that is broadcast
from speakers at the current volume setting.
 To increase the volume, the operator enters another “*” symbol while the test tone is broadcasting.
Each time the “*” symbol is pressed, the test tone volume will increase slightly.
 To decrease the volume, the operator enters the “#” symbol while the test tone is broadcasting. Each
time the “#” symbol is pressed, the test tone volume will decrease slightly.
When the desired volume has been reached, disconnect from the system and allow the paging module to
time out and return to inactive (sleep) mode. The speaker volume level will remain at the new setting for
all subsequent broadcasts until changed again.
Output Relay
The Electronics Paging Module is capable of providing a low current relay output designed for activating
a GAI-Tronics Model 530-001 Strobe Light. This output is programmable for activation via all or
selected DTMF addresses and can be programmed for maintained or time-out operation. Contacts can be
normally-open or normally-closed. The output’s maximum current capability is 100 mA if used for
activation of an external device other than the Model 530-001 Strobe Light. Items requiring higher
current will require an interposing relay between the paging module output and the actual device.
Programming
The Electronics Paging Module requires software configuration to set the operating parameters. It is
highly recommended to program and bench-test the unit prior to field installation into the GAI-Tronics
234 Series Stanchion.
A computer with a COM port (RS-232) and Windows95 or newer operating system is required to
program the paging module. Windows NT operating system is not supported. If the PC contains only
USB ports, a USB to RS-232 converter is also required. Programming accessories are sold separately.
They are as described below:
The CARD Suite Programming Software (Version 4.3.2 or newer) and programming cable are used to
program the operating parameters of the Model 10458-101, 10458-102 and 10458-103 Electronics Paging
Modules.
The Model 10458-102 and -103 RF Electronics Paging Modules also require the radio receiver to be
programmed. The RF programming kit includes the software and cable for programming the desired
frequency and optional PL code into the radio receiver.
