    APM116: Containing a 4x4 programmable zone/function button matrix in combination with select / clear all and push-to-talk. All button functions are freely programmable using the software interface of the matrix system. In installations without matrix system, the Audac system manager should be used for configuring.

    Indicator LED functions The indication LED’s on the APM have following functions: Enable (orange) LED: Indicates the operation status of the databus Flashes when the chime tone is playing Illuminates when the databus is busy (priorairy APM is paging) Good (green) LED: Indicates the correct voice level when speaking Illuminating when voice level is OK Peak &...
  • Page 12: Button Functions

    Depending on the system or installation, different functions can be assigned to the programmable zone/function selection buttons. The function assignment should be done through the software interface of the matrix system, or using the Audac system manager. (in combination with the APC100 configuration unit)
  • Page 13 Toggle relay: A relay status will toggle between activated / de-activated when pressed. Both relays integrated in intelligent devices such as matrix systems or relays from separate relay units can be controlled from APM. Pulse relay: A relay will activate when pressed, as long as the button is held. (Press and hold) When released the relay will return back to idle status.
  • Page 14 Standard selection buttons: The standard selection buttons are the three buttons on the bottom row of the APM keypad (only for APM104, APM108 and APM116). These buttons are fixed and not configurable. Push to talk: Announcements can be made after the push-to-talk button is pressed. In standard configuration, a chime tone will always be heard prior to any announcement.

    Connect the the APM1xx paging microphone to a matrix system or Audac relay unit using cabling CAT (CAT5E for analog systems and CAT6 for digital systems) with a standard cable length of 300 meters.
  • Page 16 Another method is by using the Audac system manager tool, which can be freely downloaded and allows for more complex configurations than those available from the web interfaces.
  • Page 17 After the desired zones are activated, announcements can be made by pressing and holding the ‘Push to talk’ button. When the databus is occupied by another paging station (orange LED blinking), no announcements can be made. Following actions take place when making an annoucements: 1) Selection of zones will be transmitted to the main unit and selected zones will be enabled.
  • Page 18: Chapter 3 Connecting The Apm

    Chapter 3 Connecting the APM The APM’s should be connected to the matrix system or relay units using twisted pair cabling (CAT5E or CAT6, depending of the applied system). The maximum bus length is 300 meters. The supply voltage is delivered to the APM1xx over the twisted pair CAT cabling, and the voltage at the APM1xx side (receiver end) should be 16 Volts or higher (transmitter side inserts 24 Volts).
  • Page 19 Digital: - Maximum bus length without application of a CP45ARP with external power supply is limited to 300 meter. - Maximum bus length with application of CP45ARP with power supply is 600 meter. - Maximum distance from APM1xx to ARJ03P is 3 meters, should be deducted from total bus length.

    Chapter 4 Configuring the APM Jumper settings: Analogue / Digital paging selection: The APM1xx jumper settings are standard set to be used in combi nation with digital paging systems. When using them combination with analogue paging systems, the jumper settings should be changed.
  • Page 24 1) Only one APM on one databus When only one APM1xx is used on the databus, the databus needs to be terminated by the termi- nation jumper J5 which can be found internally inside the unit’s enclosure. 2) Multiple APM’s on one databus When multiple APM1xx units are daisy chained on one databus, the termination jumper should only be placed on the last junction box (ARJ03P) in the bus structure.
