System behavior for Page Mute
When a signal of adequate level (voltage) is sensed on the page mute input terminal, all other audio
inputs to the Maxim™ III are muted to allow the building-wide page to be heard. The muting is applied to
wireless microphones as well as computer, DVD, and all other line inputs.

of new units; serial numbers beginning with A19 and later (letter or
number is A, B, C… and number is 19, 20, …).
For older units see notes at the end of this section
.
New units:
A paging system may be connected to the Maxim™ III. The panel labeling is
based on a 25-
volt
paging input signal. The Page Input impedance selector has three labeled switch positions (based on
power draw at 25 V):
•
0.1 W DRAW
(5000 Ω
impedance)
•
1.0 W DRAW
(620 Ω
impedance)
•
MUTE OFF
MUTE OFF
disconnects the page input from the Maxim™ III. The other two settings select transformer
taps inside the Maxim™ III for the speakers connected to the top left and lower right connections. These
two connections are labeled A1 and A2 in Diagram A below.
