Introduction The PCM Paging Control System (see Figure 1-1) is an expandable zone paging and signaling system. The LUPCMALL consists of 4 pre-assembled modules: PCMTIM, PCMCPU, PCMTBM, and a Zone Paging Module (PCMZPM). To this, you can add up to two additional Zone Paging Modules (Model: LUPCMZONE, Pec Code 5323-108, Com Code 408186039) to increase system zone paging capacity to 9 zones.
1.2. Background Music • High/Low-Powered distributed (buffered for up to 50 amplified speakers) • High/Low-Powered, using dedicated BGM amplifier • High/Low-Powered using a single paging/BGM amplifier • BGM Disable to individual zones • Local BGM input on each individual zone module 1.3.
Before You Start 2.1. Select Options Before setting up your system, use the checklist below to assist you in setting up and programming the PCM Paging Control System. ____ Type of Telephone Interface (loop start, ground start, page port, station port) (see System Wiring Connections, Section 5) ____ Total Number of Paging Zones (additional Zone Paging Modules or LUPCMADD Paging Control System...

The LUPCMALL is pre-assembled to accommodate 3 zones of paging. If your installation requires 4 to 9 zones, you can add one or two Zone Paging Modules (PCMZPM). A total of 3 PCMZPM modules (9 zones total) can be used on a LUPCMALL assembly.
LUPCMALL Feature Callouts Descriptions and Locations Refer to Figure 4-1. TONE VOLUME - Controls the level of all tones produced by the PCM system. BGM SRC VOLUME - Sets background music level for one mode of operation. Used only when an amplifier without a music input is used as the paging amplifier (see Section 7).

Return to RUN position for normal system operation. Locking plate ensures that switch will not be accidentally set to program mode. Switch only needs to be changed on the LUPCMALL main assembly. LUPCMADD assemblies always stay in RUN mode (see Section 8.1).
System Wiring Connections 5.1. Telephone System Connections The PCMTIM module is the telephone interface module for the PCM Paging Control System. The PCMTIM provides the telephone interface (including talk battery), night ringer input, emergency override input, and auxiliary relay contacts for the system.
5.3. PBX Ground Start Trunk Port In this configuration, the PCM unit supplies a 48V talk battery and loop current detection from pins 3 & 4 of the TRUNK jack on the PCMTIM module to the ground start trunk in the telephone system. There are two modes of operation for ground start trunk.
5.4. PBX Page Port In this configuration, the unit responds to a contact shorting the closure source to its return. When the short is removed, the page ends. Audio is provided to the system through a separate pair of leads. Make sure that power is off and all connections completed before proceeding.
5.6. Night Ringer The PCM Night Ringer signaling feature is designed to alert personnel to incoming calls after normal business hours. The feature can be activated either by a 90V ring signal or by a contact closure. In the factory default configuration, the night ringer sounds over all zones, however, a zone group can be programmed which will sound the night ringer only over a user-selected group of zones.
5.7. Override Input The Override is a non-programmable feature that lets the caller take priority over all paging functions and make a system- wide page to all speakers. The feature can be activated using a loop start trunk or dedicated telephone. Provisions are also included to interface with other signaling equipment.
Paging Amplifier Connections The paging amplifier audio connections are made to the PCMTBM module terminal strip. If the amplifier has a paging control input, this is connected to the RLY TWO terminals on the PCMTIM module (see Figure 6-1). The paging amplifier must have a balanced 600-ohm input.
Background Music The PCM system is very flexible in how it can provide background music throughout the system: • Background music can be continuously supplied to all zones not being paged. (Requires two amplifiers of the same power rating.) • Background music can be supplied by the same amplifier that is supplying paging. (Music input is available on amplifier.) •...
7.2. Background Music Continuously Supplied To All Zones Not Being Paged See Figure 7-1 on page 20 for connection with a 70V high-powered background music source or Figure 7-2 on page 22 for connection with a low-powered background music source. NOTE: Requires second amplifier of the same power rating as the paging amplifier.
Zone Speaker Wiring and Setup 8.1. Wiring to 70V Speakers See Figure 8-2 on page 30 for wiring. NOTE: Make sure PCMZPM OUTPUT switch is set to HI PWR. To set the switch, remove the locking plate, place switch in desired position, and re-secure the locking plate. The locking plate can be rotated to match the switch setting. 8.2.

Optional Wiring 9.1. CPU to Emergency Signaling External input control is available to trigger a tone signal from the PCM over the paging system. Shorting EM/SC to the GND terminal will produce a user-programmed tone into a specific zone group. This feature is typically used to signal shift changes using a contact closure pair from an external master clock.

Power-Up of PCM and Associated Equipment 10.1. Power-Up Sequence All equipment in the paging system should remain off until the system wiring is completed. This is the recommended power- up sequence of the paging equipment after initial wiring: Double check that all PCMZPM modules are set for the correct type of operation - HI PWR for 70V speakers or LO PWR for self-amplified speakers and dedicated amplifiers.

System Programming System programming lets you set certain PCM options and tone features using the DTMF keys of a telephone. It also lets you program paging zone groups and signaling zone groups. All programming is accomplished through the TRUNK jack on the PCMTIM module regardless of the telephone interface used.
11.1. Programming Paging Zone Groups 32 paging zone groups can be created. Each zone group can consist of up to 99 zones. To create a zone group: Dial [*] followed by the 2-digit number of the zone group (01 - 32) you want to create. Follow this with the 2-digit number of the zones you want to include in the zone group.
11.6. Single Amp BGM Single amplifier BGM operation lets the PCM use the paging amplifier to provide high-powered BGM to passive speakers when the paging system is idle. When this option is enabled, the BGM SRC terminals are connected to the paging amplifier's input and HPBGM bus is connected to the paging amplifier's output.

Paging: How To Use The PCM 13.1. Paging Zones The PCM system supports from 3 to 99 different paging zones (in groups of 3). It also supports up to 32 paging zone groups for voice paging applications, and 11 zone groups for signaling applications (night ring, code call, EM/SC, 8 time triggers). Each zone group consists of 1 to 99 (user-programmed) zones.
13.5. How To Make A Code Call Code calling is the ability to activate a series of chime tones over a signaling zone group (the specific zones in the zone group are determined by the user - up to 99 zones). The PCM supports pattern and echo code calling. •...
13.7. How To Make An Echo Code Call Refer to System Programming, Section 11, for instructions on how to activate this feature and to select the type of code call, and/or activate the auto repeat feature. Dial the paging access number for your telephone system. Listen for the confirmation tone if enabled (a double beep).

Testing and Troubleshooting Functional Test Guide Use the following chart to verify proper operation after installation. To start the test, pick up a telephone and dial the access code for the port to which the PCM is connected. Does the PCM activate? The PCM is activated if it returns a confirmation tone over the telephone.

Procedure A Refer to Figure 14-1 on page 51. Disconnect PCM from the telephone system. Set the two Slide switches on the PCMTIM to LS and TRUNK positions. Connect a telephone test set/2500-type telephone to the TRUNK line input of the PCMTIM (see Section 5.3 for more information).
