CHAPTER 1
Introduction
General Description
Introducing a totally re-engineered Zeus Intercom System—Zeus III is the next generation of small intercom system units,
giving smaller systems more options for their intercom configurations. We; now have 32 channels IN/OUT and two (2)
configurable party-line channels. This system is excellent for smaller installations, as well as
OB (Outside Broadcast) vans. Its
compact size is perfect for small environments with limited space. With the addition of Ethernet, the Zeus III can be
configured from virtually anywhere on the network using AZedit Intercom software. Alternatively, the Zeus III can be directly
connected to AZedit through the use of the USB connector on the front panel. The Zeus II’s 24 DB-9 connectors have been
replaced with 32, RJ-45 connectors.
Features
Redundant Power Supplies The unit comes with two (2) completely independent power supplies powered from
separate
AC (Alternating Current) feeds. Because of the extremely low power
consumption, the use of UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) units is possible.
USB Port The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is used for the AZedit Intercom software system
configuration.
Trunk Capable Using the dedicated DB-9 trunk connector with standard RS485 protocol, the Zeus III is
able to communicate in a trunked system.
10 Additional Audio Channels Expanding on the Zeus II’s 24-channel unit, we have added 10 additional audio channels
to the Zeus III; eight (8) channels of audio IN and OUT, as well as two (2) channels that
can be configured for party line use. The two (2) party-line channels interface two separate
2-wire lines to 4-wire lines. From the front panel, it can be configured for RTS, Audiocom
(Balanced), or ClearCom (Unbalanced) mode.
Remote Configuration With the addition of Ethernet to the Zeus III unit, you can now remotely configure your
Zeus III intercom system using the AZedit Intercom System software.
Dynamic Keypanel Addressing Zeus III now automatically addresses keypanels when they are connected to
the Zeus III frame. This eliminates the need for setting keypanel addresses and
maintaining port allocations.
Relays New relay connection supports Relay 1 and Relay 2.
Simultaneous Download Faster downloads to multiple ports supporting the same type of keypanels.
