Tips
• If an overall output power exceeding that of a
500W
amplifier (the largest in the
Paso
range) is required, it is possible to use more than one
amplifier. The inputs should be connected in parallel to the
MIX OUT
output (
27
) of the slave unit with the address 0; the output of each amplifier
will be used to drive a sub-group of zones having an overall output power compatible with the rated power of the amplifier. To facilitate this solution,
the 6 output zones of the slave are split up into two groups of 3, electrically isolated from one another and each with its own speech and music
inputs. This makes it possible to use up to two amplifiers per slave. An example of this type of system is illustrated in the figure.
System settings
Select the addresses of the
slaves starting from
0
(considering also the one contained in the
P8136
).
Set the group number at
0
for all the
slaves.
Set the operating mode of all the slaves – including the one contained in the P8136 – to
single
(see APPENDIX, Section A - page 18).
Activate/de-activate the
CHIME
function on the slave with the address
0
as required.
Connect the
ACIO8136
cards, set to the Master mode, and the
PMB
stations to the
TO MASTER UNITS
socket (
24
). Set the addresses and
priorities as required, as indicated in section 4.
Note
: Keep in mind that on the ACIO8136 Master cards, each input can have a different priority
(priorities to be set by means of the
P8136 Manager
configuration software).
Connect the
ACIO8136
cards, set as Slaves and in the required operating mode, and the
PMB
stations to the
TO SLAVE UNITS
socket (
30
).
Set the addresses and priorities as required as indicated in section 4.
Note
: Keep in mind that the ACIO8136 Slave cards have a fixed priority
level of
5
.
Set the
MIX OUT
(
27
),
MUSIC OUT
(
26
) and
CHIME
(
31
) controls to the minimum. First of all adjust the
MIX OUT
control (
27
) to the
required call sound level.
Adjust the
CHIME
control (
31
) (if this function is not activated, it is preferable to leave the control on the minimum level).
