Chapter 2: FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION
3.2. External Input Paging (only when the AN-8000MI is used)
Activating the control input after connecting the Remote microphone or playback components to the Multi
interface unit enables broadcasting to the preprogrammed zone(s).
There are two methods of activation: one is to use the Audio input terminal (A in the following figure), and the
other is to use the Contact input terminal (B).
Set only the broadcast zones when activating the Audio input terminal, and both the broadcast zones and
input sound source when activating the Contact input terminal. Set the input sound source operation mode to
"External input paging."
Note
Use the supplied AN-8000 software to perform each setting. (Refer to p. 5-35 , p. 5-37 .)
• Closing the control input terminal broadcasts the outputs from the external sound source to the
preprogrammed paging zone(s).
• The broadcast ends when the control input terminal opens.

In this example, a sound source is broadcast
to Paging Zone 1 by activating the Audio input
terminal and to Paging Zone 23 by activating
the Control input terminal.
Both broadcasts will not coincide. While a
broadcast is being made to Paging Zone 1,
another broadcast by the Control input
terminal activation is neglected.
[Priority]
• There is no priority between control signals coming to the Audio input terminal and the Contact input
terminal. Even if either terminal is closed while the other terminal is closed, the later activation is not
accepted.
• Priorities are equal between paging calls, whether they are initiated by the AN-8000 system station or other
system station. If one input terminal closes while the other terminal is closed for paging, the last paging is
placed in standby mode, and is allowed to go through when the other paging is completed.
