5.2.9 Priorities
The PROMATRIX system allows setting 10 priority levels (highest priority = 10, lowest priority = 1) that include
announcements, as well as alarm and gong signals, and vocal message reproduction. A higher prioritized event
principally interrupts any other event with a lower priority setting. For events with equal priority the earlier
launched signal is continued; has priority over the latter.

Description
10
Directing station
Highest priority; can ignite any type of events and interrupt
all other signals.
7 - 9
Alarm signal
Can only be interrupted from the directing station; but
interrupts all other signals that have not been launched from
the directing terminal.
6 - 7
Gong signal
(manual / time-controlled)
Interrupts all signals that are not coming from the directing
terminal. Time-controlled gong signals can be delayed/pre-
delayed by a pre-defined period of time.
2 - 8
Recorded message
These priorities can be freely assigned to text messages
during the configuration procedure.
2 - 6
Message from a paging
console without / with pre-
gong signal
These priorities can be freely assigned to any ‘normal’
paging console. A pre-gong signal has the priority of the
launching microphone terminal.
1
Program
Background music always has the lowest priority level.
5.2.10 DPC 4350 Paging Station Extension
The DPC 4350 paging station extension provides selection keys only. It is employed whenever a higher amount
than 50 lines need to be accessed or when an installation’s requirement of group and special function keys
exceeds the existing amount of selection keys. The DPC 4350 can be easily combined with any other paging
station model. The following list shows the amounts of maximally accessible lines for various combinations:
Combination
Maximum amount of lines
DPC 4106 + DPC 4350
50
DPC 4510 + DPC 4350
60
DPC 4520 + DPC 4350
70
DPC 4530 + DPC 4350
80
DPC 4550 + DPC 4350
100
The extension unit is directly connected to the extension interface of the main paging station using the supplied 8-
pole RJ-45 cable and plugging it into the EXT-socket. A single paging station then consists of two devices that
report to a common address. Therefore the central unit recognizes them as one single microphone terminal with
an increased amount of selection keys. Also from the viewpoint of the user the two devices act as only one paging
station; i.e. the selection keys of the main and the slave paging station provide equal access to their assigned
areas, groups and special functions.
Note:
During the configuration of the system using the PROMATRIX Designer software, it is important
that the main paging station’s EXT-socket is configured for the connection of a DPC 4350
extension.
The extension unit can only be operated together with DPC 45.. or DPC 40.. Series paging console
models!
