ADS PA-100 Paging Manager
Packing list: PA100, Power Supply, SDHC Card, Audio Patch Cord, User’s Guide
The ADS PA-100 Paging Manager helps eliminate PA feedback by recording an announcement first then immediately
playing it back through a connected PA system.
The PA-100 is typically connected to the station side of a phone system and accessed by calling the extension. After
answering the call, the system plays a beep sound and starts recording immediately. The maximum recording time is
about 40 seconds. The user may press the following phone (DTMF) button during recording:
0
= Abort recording and hang up
1 ~ 9
= Abort recording but play file 001.mp3 ~ 009.mp3 respectively from the SD card
#
= Stop recording and broadcast it
*
= Stop recording and review it. The recording will be played to the user for up to 2 times.
When reviewing, press # to broadcast it or 0 to abort & hang up.
Be sure to press the DTMF keys firmly for the system to properly detect, especially when reviewing (as the recording is
playing back). If no DTMF is pressed during recording or reviewing, the system will time out and hang up.
Nb. some PA systems require a control signal to allow access. Refer to the E RELAY section for details.
An external push button switch can be connected to the system and used to play file 000.mp3 from the SD card. This PLAY
button is especially useful in places where there is no phone access (hence no PA-100A access). Multiple PLAY buttons
from different places can be connected together in parallel. If the button is momentary the file will play once or twice
(see [J] CONFIG). If the button is locking the file will play indefinitely. Optionally a STOP button can be connected and used
to stop the playback prematurely.
