MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM CONTROLLER RMZ-955

Paging Input

The paging input allows announcements to be made over the system, and, if required, for Zones to be momentarily muted, in conjunction with a doorbell or a phone system.

Paging Inhibit

The paging function is individually configurable for each zone. The installer can select which Zones will receive or not receive an announcement when the paging is activated. Each Zone has an internal micro switch which is used to set the paging function ON/OFF for that zone. These switches are accessed by removing the top cover of the RMZ-955 by a qualified technician. Make

The paging feature needs to be activated from an external source via the “paging trigger” RCA-type input jack on the back of the RMZ-955. Any device which shorts the trigger input will cause the controller to enter its paging mode. For example, a doorbell, a phone system , or a keyed announcement micro- phone system could provide this control.

The “Paging Audio In” RCA jack is connected to the audio output of the announcement system (phone or microphone amplifier).

The “Paging Audio Output” jack can be connected to the Paging Audio Input on a second controller (in a large multi-controller system) or to the RCA input of an external amplifier.

sure that the AC power line is disconnected before removing the cover.

Notes:

If a Zone is in Standby (or is listening to Input 1, 2, or 3) and its paging switch is set to OFF, the Zone will remain in its present status when the paging is activated for the rest of the system. It will not be muted and no announcement will be heard.

If a Zone is listening to Input 4, the paging input will be heard when activated, regardless of whether its paging switch is set to ON or OFF.
