PAGING

The PR-4Zi has five paging inputs. The four Zone-Specific PAGE INPUTS allow for paging to all zones except the zone where the page origi- nates. The PAGE ALL input will allow paging to all zones. A page turns on all zones to their respective preset paging volume (see Memory Procedure, p. 11). All devices triggered by any of the trigger outputs will also be turned on. Russound offers many paging options to suit most applications. See the Tech and FAQ sec- tions at www.russound.com or call Russound for additional information.

SPG PAGING MODULE

The Russound SPG provides "push-to-talk" opera- tion. Use 22-24 AWG twisted pair shielded wire to connect the SPG to the PR-4Zi page input as shown in Figure 15.

PTM-1 PAGING MODULE

The Russound PTM-1 is a signal-sensing paging adapter for the PR-4Zi that accepts the page output or other line-level audio output from tele- phone paging systems, paging preamplifiers, switch-triggered voice/sound recording devices, etc. Use 22-24 AWG twisted pair shielded wire to connect the PTM-1 to the PR-4Zi page input as shown in Figure 16.
