5 .4  Message Initiate 

Two off 12-way connectors provide the interface to 

remotely trigger any of the 12 messages. Each input 

requires a “volt free” contact to activate the input.

Care should be taken if multiple inputs are driven from non-

isolated sources as inputs share a common 0V connection and cross-

overs could cause permanent activation.

5 .5  Power connections

Power to the Sonix Ms12 should be provided via a 

2-core 48 V dc input on the rear of the unit. This input 

should be connected to the managed and regulated 

48 V dc power output from the Sonix PM10 power 

management unit.

ote: 

N

As these cables are power feeds they should be routed within 

the PA/GA system in a way to avoid contact with signal or audio cables 

and other high voltage cables.

5 .6  General fault output connections

The general fault output is a volt free contact output. 

The output can be set in configuration to either normally 

open or normally closed. The output will be open when 

the unit is de-powered, no matter what configuration  

is selected.

Warning: 

Do not exceed maximum allowed 

voltages on fault output, see datasheet for more 

details.

ote: 

N

It is recommended that the fault output be configured as nor-

mally closed.
