3.1General Overview

The digital PROANNOUNCE manager DPM 4000 represents the central unit of the system. It is used to control and monitor all connected components via several serial interfaces. The chapter Single Device Descriptions contains all necessary information about the DPM 4000 and its available modules.

The kind and amount of connected audio sound sources, amplifiers, and relay board assemblies are extremely variable. This allows configuring the system to basically match any requirement. The system is capable of managing up to 16 paging stations and up to 100 output lines. More than 150 control inputs and outputs are available for controlling and monitoring purposes providing the possibility to generate and manage logic levels and analog levels as well. For detailed information, please refer to the chapter DCS 400 Control System.

Configuration and documentation of a PROANNOUNCE system installation is established through the use of the PROANNOUNCE Designer software – a comfortable graphical user interface that runs on a PC under Windows 95/98/NT.
