2.3 Safety notes
Any activities, such as maintenance operations and so on, inside the equipment should be carried out only by qualified personnel. When the cover
is removed, parts entailing a risk of electric shocks will be made accessible. Always make sure that the mains cable has been disconnected before
removing the cover. If any liquid is accidentally spilt on the equipment disconnect the mains plug immediately and contact the nearest
PASO
Service
Centre. The frame connection enables other equipment to be connected for the sole purpose of shielding low level signals: this socket must not be
used for connecting the frame to earth for safety purposes.
2. GENERAL
NOTICE
2.1 Installation
All
PASO
equipment is made according to the strictest international safety standards and complies with European Community requirements. For
correct and effective use of the equipment it is important to read these instructions, and in particular the safety notes, carefully, so as to be aware of
all its features. It is necessary to ensure suitable ventilation during operation of the equipment. Do not close the equipment inside a cabinet without
ventilation and do not keep it close to sources of heat.
2.2 Power supply and connection to earth
This equipment is designed to operate on a mains voltage of 230 V ± 10% 50/60 Hz. The ON/OFF switch (
11
) controls the mains power supply.
The equipment is supplied with a power cable that has an earth wire. The earth terminal of the mains plug should not be removed under any circumstances.
Connect the mains plug (
12
) of the equipment to the power mains using the cable included in the supply for this purpose. Make sure that the power
outlet has a regulation connection to earth. The power circuit of the P8136 is protected by a fuse installed on the mains plug of the equipment.
3. INTRODUCTION
The
P8136
master panel has been designed for use in a vast number of applications with background music and handsfree announcements or automatic
messages. It provides an advanced solution for creating all sorts of calling systems with at least 6 zones. The simplicity with which the system can be
installed and the various different units and control bases can be connected enables the creation of both centralised systems and decentralised systems
with remote installation of the various peripheral units. Its main features are:
•
4
line inputs (TAPE, CD, TUNER, AUX) for selecting the music source;
•
2
audio inputs with automatic VOX activation for calls from telephone exchanges with the necessary provisions and/or automatic message
generators;
•
1
MASTER LINK input for connecting audio and music from another master unit;
• possible control of an ACMG8136 card, which includes a message player, a timer and an SD card player for a total of 127 messages in audio
WAVE format;
• management of
6
ACIO8136 I/O cards configured as Master Units for a total of 36 optoinsulated inputs and 36 relay outputs;
• management of
6
ACIO8136 I/O cards configured as Slave Units.
• input volume control for each source of the MUSIC channel (PROGRAM) and of the SPEECH channel;
• connection via USB to a PC with the dedicated SW8136 software for configuring the broadcasting zones, programming the inputs and outputs
and, with the ACMG8136, managing timed events and compiling the messages recorded on the SD.
• possibility of connecting up to 5 P8236 slave units to each master, for a total of 36 zones managed by a single master unit;
•
2
MASTER LINK inputs for connecting up to 6 master units with one another so as to enable management of music and audio in a total of
216
zones;
•
2
lines A and B for connecting up to 16 Master Units, microphone stations and/or I/O cards, for remote calls (max. line length: 1 km);
•
1
line for connecting up to
16
Local Units, microphone stations and/or I/O cards, for calls to the zones of the Master group (max. line length:
1 km);
• Terminals for unbalanced MUSIC and SPEECH inputs for connecting both amplified 100V signals and 0 dB line signals, depending on which
system configuration is used;
•
6
zone outputs split into two groups of 3+3 lines for managing up to 500W+500W -100V incoming MUSIC and/or SPEECH signals, depending
on which system configuration is used;
•
6
front-panel keys for including music in the various different zones;
•
6
front-panel keys for control and configuration;
• 24 VDC controls for by-passing local volume attenuators;
• 230 VAC and 24 VDC emergency power supplies.
The following units can be connected to the
P8136
:
•
PMB106
:
6
-zone call station.
•
PMB112
:
12
-zone call station.
•
PMB112-E
: expansion card for
12
-zone
PMB112
.
•
ACIO8136
: I/O expansion card, with one balanced line input and 6+6 input/output contacts.
The connections between the master, slaves, microphone stations and expansion cards should be made using only CAT. 5
SF/UTP cable (see Appendix for details).
