Detail of BMS 1032 Paging functions and troubleshooting
There are two Page inputs on the BMS-1032 rack that accept a balanced
line level input from a mixer or telephone system. They are both 3 pin plug-able
pheonix connectors located on the back of the BMS rack. The input impedance
is 20k ohm. The input level should be 0dBV/ 0.775 VRMS. It is NOT a direct
microphone input.
There is a paging mode switch located to the left of the Page 2 input
connector. It is labeled “FCFS” or “Page 1 Priority”.
FCFS
- (first come first serve) enables the first audio input to lockout the
other for the duration of the page.
Page 1 Priority
- makes the “Page 1” input connector always overide the
“Page 2” input connector when a page on input 2 is present. Even if there is an
active page on input 2, it will be muted during a “Page 1” input page giving Page
1 priority in this mode.
“Active” page led’s
- give visual indication of active page input. They
are an aid to paging setup and troubleshooting. The indicators operate
independantly of the wallplate settings and each other
Trim controls -
Sets the paging levels and allows setting the paging equal
to the music level
Treshold controls
- sets the trip level of the automatic page detection
circuitry.
Individual room paging is enabled and disabled at each wallplate by
programming.
Individual room paging volume is set by programming the individual
wallplate.
All wallplate functions including programming are locked out during a
page. A “P” will be displayed on the wallplates for the duration of the page.
