Test Tone Duration Adjust – The speaker will generate a tone at the current volume setting when it
enters the test tone mode (volume control). This entry starts the duration of the test tone. When the
volume is adjusted (in test tone mode), the speaker will generate a tone at the newly selected level. The
test tone duration’s valid range is 0.5–6.0 seconds in 0.5-second increments with a default setting of 3.0
seconds.
DTMF Address & Description 1–8
Enter the DTMF addresses required to activate the Addressable Amplified Speaker. A description of up
to 12 characters can be entered for each address. Each address can contain two to eight digits. The “#”
symbol is automatically inserted into the address by the programming software and is not a required
programmable entry. Up to eight different addresses can be programmed.
Address 1 is always a unique address assigned only to the Addressable Amplified Speaker being
programmed. It is used for individual speaker access, and speaker volume control using additional
DTMF commands. Refer to Volume Adjustment section.
Addresses 2 through 8 are typically assigned to groups of speakers to create broadcast groups or zones
throughout the system. Addressable Amplified Speakers assigned to the same group or zone address will
activate simultaneously when that 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, providing greater access
security.
Output Contact Function
These settings control the activation of the Addressable Amplified Speaker’s contact closure output for
each DTMF address. The settings are in effect only when the specific DTMF address is received. 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 Time – 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.
In the Output Contact section at the bottom of the screen, select the normal state of the relay contact.
This will be the relay state when power is applied to the Addressable Amplified Speaker. 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.
