5.2.9 Priorities

The PROANNOUNCE system allows setting 10 priority levels (highest priority = 10, lowest priority = 1) that include announcements, as well as alarm and gong signals, and vocal message reproduction. A higher prioritized event principally interrupts any other event with a lower priority setting. For events with equal priority the earlier launched signal is continued; has priority over the latter.

5.2.10 DPC 4350 Paging Station Extension

The DPC 4350 paging station extension provides selection keys only. It is employed whenever a higher amount than 50 lines need to be accessed or when an installation’s requirement of group and special function keys exceeds the existing amount of selection keys. The DPC 4350 can be easily combined with any other paging station model. The following list shows the amounts of maximally accessible lines for various combinations:

Combination

Maximum amount of lines

DPC 4106 + DPC 4350

50

DPC 4510 + DPC 4350

60

DPC 4520 + DPC 4350

70

DPC 4530 + DPC 4350

80

DPC 4550 + DPC 4350

100

The extension unit is directly connected to the extension interface of the main paging station using the supplied 8- pole RJ-45 cable and plugging it into the EXT-socket. A single paging station then consists of two devices that report to a common address. Therefore the central unit recognizes them as one single microphone terminal with an increased amount of selection keys. Also from the viewpoint of the user the two devices act as only one paging station; i.e. the selection keys of the main and the slave paging station provide equal access to their assigned areas, groups and special functions.

Note: During the configuration of the system using the PROANNOUNCE Designer software, it is important that the main paging station’s EXT-socket is configured for the connection of a DPC 4350 extension.

The extension unit can only be operated together with DPC 45.. or DPC 40.. Series paging console models!
