6. LINKING TWO DIGIPAGEJr SYSTEMS

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. The following settings and connections are required to form a 
linked DigiPageJr system.

The DigiPageJrM16 paging station must be used to access all zones. The DigiPageJrM8 can 
also be used but will only access zones 1 to 8

MASTER/SLAVE

This switches the unit from master (switch in) to slave (switch out). When set as master the unit 
control zones 1 to 8. When set as slave the unit controls zones 9 to 16. 

This switch should only 

be operated when the unit is powered off.

DATA LINK

This link is essential. Use a pre-wired CAT5 patch lead. 
The maximum cable length for the data link cable is 10m, but note that the PROG LINKS 
cable length is limited to 0.5m (see below).

NOTE: These 

are

NOT

 Ethernet connections.

NOTE: Maximum data link cable length is 10m
