Installation and Operation Guide
PREZONE2
6. If the Chime level is set to OFF, the paging mic will be live immediately
upon activation. Otherwise the chime will play in the selected zone(s) at
the volume set prior to the mic going live.
Wiring - MICPAT-2 & MICPAT-D to Paging Mic Input
If connecting a MICPAT-2 paging station to a PREZONE2, users may send
paging messages to both zones, either together or independently.
MICPAT-2 Wiring
1. Connect the MICPAT-2 to the PREZONE2 as shown in Figure 4a.
2. The MIC/LINE switch is typically set to LINE, however it may be set to
MIC for greater sensitivity, but take care to avoid clipping.
If connecting a MICPAT-D paging station to a PREZONE2, users may send
paging messages to both zones together.
MICPAT-D Wiring
1. Connect the MICPAT-D to the PREZONE2 as shown in Figure 4b.
2. The MIC/LINE switch is typically set to LINE, however it may be set to
MIC for greater sensitivity, but take care to avoid clipping.
NOTE:
Refer to the appropriate MICPAT manual for further details on set up and use of the paging
stations.
Back Panel Wiring and Connections
The section that follows gives information about wiring/connecting and operation
of select inputs and outputs on the back panel.
Wiring - Emergency Input
1. See Figure 2. Connect a balanced 0 dBV
line level emergency input audio signal to the
Euroblock connector.
2. If available, connect the emergency contact to
the “mute all” connection. The contact must be
“potential free” (a relay or switch contact that
does not carry any voltage.)
3. Alternatively, activate the VOX circuitry by turning
the VOX control until there is an audible “click”.
4. Turn the VOX control up while playing music until
the VOX circuit is activated. The VOX and the
'mute all' switch have the same function: they will
mute all other sources and "wake" the unit from
standby (auto standby and manual button standby).
5. The emergency level can be set with the volume control.
6. Lower the level of the emergency signal at the source to avoid distortion if
the clip LED illuminates when the emergency signal is present.
Wiring - Paging Mic Input
1. See Figure 3. Connect the microphone - the
Euroblock accepts balanced microphone or line
level signals.
2. Set the MIC / LINE switch accordingly.
3. Adjust the gain control so the clip LED does not
illuminate when the signal is at the highest level.
4. Adjust zone volume controls as required.
5. When paging is active, all other sources except
Emergency Input are muted.
