OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

2.2.2DPA 4000 Power Amplifier

Especially designed for it, the DPA 4000 Series power amplifiers optimally match the PROANNOUNCE system. Thus guaranteeing trouble-free installation and operation.

The power amplifiers are "stand alone" devices, offering the opportunity for them to be operated together with several other pieces of equipment, as long as all valid specifications and applicable instructions for the installation are being observed.

2.2.3DPC 4000 Paging Stations

Especially designed for it, the DPC 4000 Series paging stations optimally match the PROANNOUNCE system. Thus guaranteeing trouble-free installation and operation.

The paging stations cannot be used as "stand alone" devices. At least a DPM 4000, a 24 V power supply plus all necessary cabling is needed to build-up a minimal installation.

Configuration and operation is accomplished through the DPM 4000 central unit.

2.2.4 DCS 400 Control System

The DCS 400 control system – consisting of a DCS 401 control module, a DCS 408 relay module 100V, a DCS 409 control-relay module, DCS 412 logic input module and DCS 416 analog I/O module – cannot be used as a "stand alone" system. At least a DPM 4000, a 24 V power supply plus all necessary cabling is needed to build-up a minimal installation.

According to their technical specifications, it is possible to incorporate the modules of the DCS 400 system as follows:

-DCS 401: control module for all other DCS 400 modules query of 2 rotary encoders

-DCS 408: 5 floating switches for 100 V loudspeaker lines

-DCS 409: 5 floating switches for control signals (DC voltages, 24 V) or for audio signals at line level

-DCS 412: query and monitoring of 12 floating control voltages (logic signals up to ±31 V)

-DCS 416: 8 analog inputs for the query of control voltages (0 – 10 V) 8 analog outputs to output control voltages (0 – 10 V)

-DCS 420: Monitor Manager with loudspeaker, headphones socket, 7-segment display, and metering instrument

Configuration and operation is accomplished through the DPM 4000 central unit.

2.2.5DPP 4000 Power Supply Units

Especially designed for it, the DPP 4000 Series power supply units optimally match the PROANNOUNCE system, guaranteeing trouble-free installation and operation.

The power supplies are "stand alone" units, which offers the possibility to utilize them to feed other equipment with 24 V supply voltage, as long as all valid specifications and applicable instructions for the installation are being observed.
