Example System Setup

Amplicenter Interface with Controller

A traditional 70 volt installation

This example illustrated in figure 3-1gives you a quick overview to the interconnection between the AmpliCenter and the PagePac Controller.

See the PagePac Plus Controller Installation and Use manual for details on setting up any of these configurations:

The 70v AmpliCenter Audio Output Is Routed Via The Pagepac Plus Controller to paging zones.

Make sure that the Controller has its external function mode slide switches set for proper operation (detailed in the Controller Installation and Use Guide) and is correctly programmed to configure each paging or control zone (Refer to the PagePac Plus Controller Programming and Operation Guide).

Controller System

In this configuration, the Controller sends 0dBm audio to the AmpliCenter(s). The AmpliCenter’s 70V output then goes directly to the speakers, without being routed through the Controller’s zone distribution relays. Each AmpliCenter’s audio will only be sent to a specific selected zone. Both remote AmpliCenters and amplified speakers can be controlled in this mode as well as other ancillary equipment requiring an audio output or a switch closure, or both.

Hybrid System

This method uses a combination of the two above configurations.

AmpliCenter without Controller, with Series AmpliCenter(s)

In this configuration (figure 3-2),the host telephone system connects directly to the first AmpliCenter unit. No PagePac Plus Controller is utilized. The first AmpliCenter passes a control signal and paging audio to the second AmpliCenter in the series. This configuration results in a one-zone paging set-up, wherein a page is broadcast to all speakers simultaneously. However, each AmpliCenter may have a different music source. (Example: rock/pop – production areas, easy listening – hallways; none – offices.)
