PRE-ANNOUNCE CHIME
The DigiPage can operate from the plug pack supplied and/or a separate 24V DC power
supply.
The maximum distances quoted in the Table #1 are due to DC current limitations, not data
transmission limitions. If distances greater than these are required, the paging stations and
DPRM’s can be locally powered. This will extend the maximum distances to 1000m per CAT5
RUN. Alternatively, if more than 4 paging stations or DPRM’s are required on a single run, local
powering can be used. This will increase the maximum number of paging stations and
DPRM’s on a single CAT5 RUN.
Use a
12VDC supply connected as
pin1 (white/green in CAT5)- GROUND
pin2 (green in CAT5) - +12V
Disconnect inV, but not ground. The 12V supply should be rated at 150mA per
paging stating being powered and 90mA per DPRM.

Tones may be triggered by closing a switch or relay contact between the selected tone
trigger input and common. These trigger inputs are 5V TTL and may alternatively be triggered
by pulling the desired input low referenced to the COMMON.
The only internal setup that is available in the DigiPage is for the configuration of the chime
tone that sounds in each zone. The unit comes shipped with the chime enabled in all zones.
A link can be found on each zone control board at the front of the unit (the longer board
behind the zone section).
regulated
NOTE: The maximum voltage on these inputs must not exceed 5.5V
NOTE:
CAT5 cable consists of four pairs of wires: it is not sufficient to simply wire the two
ends pin for pin, ignoring pairing.
A NOTE ABOUT GROUNDING:
It may be necessary in some circumstances to ground the DigiPage to eliminate
noise in the system. This can be done using the negative terminal of the 24VDC IN
euro connector or by making sure that the chassis is electrically connected to the
equipment rack (which should be grounded).

To disable the chime to a particular zone,
move the link to the upper two pins on the
relevant control board. To re-enable the
chime, move the link to the lower two pins.
