1. INTRODUCTION The Australian Monitor Installation Series DigiPageJr is a two rack unit multizone paging and source selection system that offers unprecedented flexibility for multizone paging & source routing applications. Four program inputs are available to each of eight zone outputs. The DigiPageJr is also expandable to 16 zones via a simple link cable to a second unit.
2.
The controls detailed below (1-6) apply to each output zone, as indicated by ZONE 1 .. ZONE 8 on the front panel. 1 PROG 1-4: This series of program switches (PROG 1- PROG 4) allows any one of the connected program sources to be switched to this zone. Note that these are mechanically interlocking switches: only one program may be selected at a time. Program inputs may be mic or line, see Back Panel on page 8. 2 MASTER 1-8: This control adjusts the overall output level of the zone.
Located at the right-hand end of the unit, these controls affect all zones. 7 PAGE ENABLE This switch allows the zone to be included in or isolated from the paging function. You may want to do this when a zone is an area such as a function room that occasionally may need to be isolated from paging. 8 ON This LED indicates there is power to the unit. NOTE: When 24VDC emergency power is supplied this LED will always be on. 9 POWER This switches power from the power supply (included ).
3.
3 EUROBLOCK CONNECTOR 24V DC / GROUND This input pair is for connection to a 24VDC emergency power supply and is not switched by the front panel power switch. NOTE: The 24V DC input does not provide a trickle-charge facility. ALERT/EVAC/COMMON These connections are used to trigger the internal tones. Only one tone can be triggered at a time. Triggering occurs by connecting the ALERT or EVAC terminal to COMMON.
5 PROG LINKS These RJ45 sockets allow linking of the program sources when using a Master/Slave configuration. (see ‘Linking Section’ on page 18) NOTE: These are NOT Ethernet connections. 6 DATA LINK This socket is used to link two units in a Master/Slave configuration. (see ‘Linking Section’ on page 18) NOTE: These are NOT Ethernet connections. 7 MASTER/SLAVE This switch is used when linking 2 units in Master/Slave configuration. (see ‘Linking Section’ on page 18) 8 POWER IN VAC This 2.
4. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW The DigiPageJr features extensive flexibility in the range of input sources that it can accommodate. In addition, the zone outputs may be used to feed power (booster) amplifiers, mixers, mixer amplifiers etc. It is therefore important to think about the interfacing of the DigiPageJr with the other equipment if optimum performance and system stability is to be achieved. Use the Back Panel and Specifications sections of this manual to assist with system design.
INSTALLATION OF A PRIORITY PAGING STATION The following rules apply for connecting a paging station as a priority paging station to over ride all other paging stations: ! The paging station must be enabled as a priority paging station (see Paging Station section on page 20). ! The paging station that is used as a priority station must be connected to CAT5 RUN 1. ! The only paging station that can be connected to CAT5 RUN 1 is the priority paging station. No other paging stations may share that CAT5 RUN.
EXTENDING CAT5 CABLE RUN DISTANCES & ADDING MORE PAGING STATIONS The maximum distances quoted in the Table #1 are due to DC current limitations, not data transmission limitions. If distances greater than these are required, the paging stations can be locally powered. This will extend the maximum distances to 1000m per CAT5 RUN. Alternatively, if more than 4 paging stations are required on a single run, local powering can be used. This will increase the maximum number of paging stations on a single CAT5 RUN.
5. SET UP The inputs of the DigiPageJr can accommodate a wide range of sources including active paging stations, dynamic microphones, DVD and CD players, tuners and cassette players. The zone outputs may be used to drive power (booster) amplifiers, mixers, or mixer amplifiers. Each installation will require setting the appropriate relative mix of levels between paging and program sources for each zone and balancing between the zones.
7. Balance the other program sources in the TEST ZONE [rear panel PROG GAIN] 8. Apply the front panel settings from TEST ZONE to all other zones. 9. Using the front panel controls only, set the individual zones to your preferred settings a. Set balance between prog/page b. Set Eq c. Set final master level NOTE: A full discussion of setting up a complex system with correct gain structure is beyond the scope of this manual.
6. LINKING TWO DIGIPAGEJr SYSTEMS NOTE: There are two series of DigiPage product available, the DigiPage and the DigiPageJr. Use only DigiPageJr series paging stations with DigiPageJr and only DigiPage series paging stations with DigiPage. DigiPageJr is fully expandable to form a 16 zone paging system by the simple linking of two units. One DigiPageJr is then designated the master unit, driving zones 1-8, with the other slave unit driving zones 9-16.
PROG LINKS Program sources can be sent to the slave DigiPageJr by connecting the PROG LINKS OUTPUT on the Master unit to the PROG LINKS INPUT on the Slave unit. This simplifies connection of sources as all 4 sources can be sent from the master to the slave via 1 CAT5 cable avoiding the need for Y-cables The PROG TRIM on the slave unit operates independently of the master unit. The PROG TRIM on the slave unit should be set to the same position as on the master. Use a pre-wired CAT5 patch lead.
7. PAGING STATION Introduction DigiPageJrM8 DigiPageJrM16 The Australian Monitor Installation Series DigiPageJrM8 and DigiPageJrM16 Paging Stations are 8 and 16 zone paging stations complete with a slimline gooseneck paging microphone. The Paging stations are designed to be used with the DigiPageJr Zone Paging & Source Selection System and will allow paging into any individual zone, any combination of zones or All Call to all zones.
Installation and Setup NOTE: There are two series of DigiPage product available, the DigiPage and the DigiPageJr. Use only DigiPageJr series paging stations with DigiPageJr and only DigiPage series paging stations with DigiPage. The CAT5 cable connects to the RJ45 socket on the rear panel of the paging station. This socket is a NEUTRIKTM connector designed to be used with the XLR style housing (model NE8MC) to improve reliability. Normal RJ45 connectors can also be used.
