RZ45 / TR86 / CS-5 User Manual
Powering up
Ensure that all connected amplifiers or active speakers are switched off before powering up the RZ45
Switch on the power (21) and the front panel indicators should light. Power up connected equipment and turn volumes up part way.
TR86 Remote Control
Each active zone will need a TR86 wall mounted remote control connected to the RJ45 sockets on the rear panel of the RZ45.
Only one TR86 is supplied with the RZ45 system but up to 5 may be connected to activate as many zones as are required.
Additional TR86 remote units are available separately (953.050UK)
The TR86 is touch operated with a toughened glass surface and is designed to fit into a single gang 86 x 86mm back box (supplied)
Rear Front
Connect the TR86 to the RZ45 via a network cable with RJ45 connection (25). This will deliver power to the TR86 for up to 100m.
For longer cable runs up to 1km, the TR86 will require separate local 24Vdc power supplied to the screw contacts at the rear (23)
Tapping the up and down source select pads (26) will cause the audio source for the zone to step through 1, 2, 3 and 4/USB.
The active audio source is indicated by LEDs at the side of the source select pads (29)
The front panel of the main RZ45 unit has LEDs to show the audio source status for each zone (5) along with LED level meters (4)
“BGM” is short for “Background Music” and is the normal status where the TR86 remote selects the audio source.
Likewise, “LOCAL” shows that the TR86 is providing the local audio source for its zone.
Further status LEDs for “CALL” or “EMG/MUTE” are lit when the zone is called from a CS
-5 call station or Emergency Mute is triggered.
To adjust the output level for the zone, tap
the “+” or “
-
” pads (28) which will step through
volume levels in increments.
To mute the selected audio source, tap the MUTE pad (31) which will light when mute is activated.
An optional local mono audio source may be connected to the rear of the TR86 via screw terminals (24)
Note that this shares the GROUND connection with the 24Vdc power input.
The local input source is unbalanced line level (0.775Vrms @ 0dB) and can be wired to a wall plate with an audio connector for AUX in.
Tapping the LOCAL pad (30) will override other line input sources and select the local line input (the LOCAL pad will light)
When paging directly from the RZ45 or CS-5 call station, the selected audio source will be muted and the BUSY indicator will light (27)
The same override occurs when the emergency 24Vdc contacts are triggered.
System checking
To check outputs to each zone in turn, connect a set of stereo headphones to the monitor output jack (11)
Turn down the monitor level (10) before wearing the headphones and select an active zone via the monitor zone selector (9)
Gradually increase the monitor level to avoid hearing damage and turn up to the required volume for clear audibility.
Select through each zone in turn, checking for output.
If a paging microphone is connected, this can be used to check for output on all channels. Turn the paging microphone level down (3).
Many paging microphones have their own paging button, which should be left switched on.
Push in the PAGE button (2) and speak into the paging microphone, whilst gradually increasing the paging mic level as required.
Each TR86 remote will have the BUSY indicator lit and each zone on the RZ45 will have the CALL indicator (5) lit on the front panel.
The announcement will be heard on each zone. Check via the monitor headphones and on the sound system for each zone in turn.
If a CS-5 call station is connected to the RZ45 (see below), it can address all or any of the 5 output zones from the keypad.
Press the required zone button(s) followed by the large green talk button and speak into the CS-5 microphone.
