Setup

2.2 Priorities

There are 4 levels of priority in the A 4275/85. 

Level 1 

Input 1 has the highest level of priority if the VOX is enabled for this input. (Refer to section 2.3 for DIP  

 

 

switch and VOX sensitivity settings). It will override all other inputs including the optional A 4573  

 

 

 

alert/evacuation module (if fitted). This input could be used for emergency microphone paging or telephone pag 

 

ing etc.

Level 2

 The optional A 4573 

alert/evacuation module (if fitted) 

provides the next level of priority and will override all  

 

inputs except input1.

  

Level 3

 If the VOX is enabled on input 2 it will override inputs 3 to 6. (Refer to section 2.3 for DIP switch and VOX    

 

sensitivity settings).

Level 4

  If the VOX is enabled on input 3 it will override inputs 4 to 6. (Refer to section 2.3 for DIP switch and VOX    

 

sensitivity settings).

Note1 : Inputs 4-6 have no VOX.
Note 2 : Any Vox activation will trigger the 24V DC Switched Output ((when set “ON”) check the DIP switch 
settings for more details).

Figure 2.2A demonstrates an install with all 4 levels of priority shown. The A 4573 is fitted and assumes level 2 priority. 
Input 1 is shown with a microphone connected. The DIP1 switch settings are set for a 100mV sensitivity balanced micro-

phone input with the priority/VOX enabled which makes this input priority level 1. (Refer to section 2.3 for more details 
about DIP switch settings). Input 2 is connected to a telephone paging system with a line level output. The DIP1 switch 

settings are set for a line level input with 1V input sensitivity and the VOX enabled which makes this input priority level 
3. Input 3 is shown with a microphone connected. The DIP2 switch settings are set for a balanced microphone input and 
with the VOX enabled which makes this input priority level 4. Inputs 4-6 have no VOX option.

Priority or VOX muting is only

functional on inputs 1-3. When

VOX is enabled on input 1 it will

override all other inputs includ-

ing the Alert/Evac Module. VOX

enabled on input 2 will override

inputs 3-6. VOX enabled on input

3 will override inputs 4-6.

If the Alert/Evac module is fitted

it will override inputs 2-6.
