Page 4: Introduction
The status of the audio-bus is indicated on the front panel (enable led). All these configurations can be made in a very simple way with the free software tool “AUDAC CONFIGURATION MANAGER”. This tool can be downloaded for free on the AUDAC website (www.audac.be). - Page 5 Following buttons are standard: Talk: By pressing this button, the “gong” starts to play. After this, you can make an announcement through the microphone. Select All: By pressing this button, all “Zone” buttons will be selected at once. Clear: This button deselects all selected “Zone” buttons. Following functions are free programmable: Zone-select: Press one time to select a Paging Zone.

Page 6: Aru/Avd Receive/Switch Module
ARU/AVD Receive/Switch module: The Audac ARU/AVD Receive/Switch modules are designed for use with the AUDAC APM01/04/08/16 paging stations. The modules communicate over RS485 and have 4/8/16 relays for several switching tasks. Following modules exist: ARU04: This module can switch between 2 signals (background music and Paging Microphone) and is equipped with 4 relays (4 different zones). -
Page 7: Aru Module
The ARU module: This module was designed for switching between 2 signals (background music and Paging). There are 4, 8 and 16 channel modules. The ARU module was made very flexible. For example: it’s possible to use separate music sources for each zone, or to use 1 common music source for all Paging Zones. -

Page 9: Safety Requirements
Chapter Safety Requirements The APM 01/04/08/16 can be configured by the free “AUDAC CONFIGURATION MANAGER” software tool. This must be done by a qualified person. Do not open the units, unless you are qualified to do so. Remove the CAT5 cable before performing any servicing. -

Page 15: Rj-45 Pin Connections
The Cat5 cabling must always be “straight”. In case of self made cabling, it must be done as described above, to make the system work properly. To easily create a bus structure, there are “ARJ-03 splitter” modules (AUDAC). These will be described later. -
Page 16: Power Supply
Power supply Normally, the power supply must be connected with only one ARU-, AVD- or splitter module. The other modules of the paging network are fed through the CAT5 cable. Maximum rated current The power supply’s maximum rated current must be higher than the sum of the currents of the connected modules. -
Page 17: Getting Started
Chapter Getting Started APM: When turning the power on, the APM paging station comes into its “USER MODE”. In this mode you have function buttons (in most cases Zone buttons, 4-8-16), one “Select All” button, one “Clear All” button and one “Talk” button. When selecting a zone, the button will light up “green”. -

Page 19: Connections Aru08
Connections ARU08 Zone output: This is the output to which signal A or B is switched for each zone. (The ground connection should be made at the connection points of Input Channel A or B.) Input Channel A: This input is standard selected. It’s meant for connecting the signal of a music source. -
Page 20: Jumper Settings For Audio Routing
Jumper settings for audio routing In this example 3 jumpers are set. The jumper on the right side above input “IN_1” connects the left channel of “IN_1.A” to the right channel of “IN_1.A” (blue tracks). The second jumper can be used to connect the left channel of input channel IN_1.B to the right channel of IN_1.B. -

AVD: Common switch signal Analogue relay activation Output signal 2x CAT5 (Data bus) 24V DC Connections AVD08: 24V DC: The system needs 24V DC power. See part “Power supply and pin configuration” for more explanation. Common switch signal: To connect the common signal you want to switch (e.g. 24V DC or Paging signal). -
Page 22: Working Principles Of The Aru/Avd In Combination With The Apm
Chapter Working principles of ARU/AVD in combination with APM Following figures indicate the working principles of APM tables with ARU/AVD modules. Possibility 1: APM01 directly on a priority input of a mixing amplifier The Paging Microphone input is connected to an override-input of a mixing amplifier. As option you can place an ARU or AVD module to activate Emergency Call relays, if there are volume controls in each room. -
Page 23: Possibility 2: In Larger Installations Which Have An Amplifier For Each Zone (Switching On Line Level)
Possibility 2: in larger installations which have an amplifier for each zone (switching on Line Level) In this setup, the ARU module is placed in the Line Level circuit. You can make an announcement in every zone separately. With ARJ-03 splitter modules it’s possible to connect more then 1 paging table to the system. -
Page 24: Possibility 3: Switching On Line Level, Including Emergency Call On Volume Controls
Possibility 3: switching on Line Level, including Emergency Call on volume controls This is the same principle as in the previous case, except for the extra use of an AVD module to override the volume control in case of Emergency Call. In this case the music can be regulated at low level, without influence on the paging signal. -
Page 25: Possibility 4: Using Two Separate Amplifiers For Music And Paging
Possibility 4: using two separate amplifiers for music and paging In this setup, you need an amplifier for the music signal and an amplifier for the paging signal. The volume between these two can be regulated separately. The power of the amplifier must be calculated on the total load of the system. -
Page 26: Possibility 5: Switching On Loudspeaker Level , Inclucing Emergency Call On Volume Controls
Possibility 5: switching on loudspeaker level, including Emergency Call on Volume Controls This is the same setup as the previous one, but with volume control for each zone. With an extra AVD unit, it’s possible to switch the Emergency Call of the Volume Controls. In this case, you’re switching 24V DC . -
Page 27: Wire Up The System
Chapter Wire up the System The system uses an RS-485 bus protocol. For this reason, it’s very important to avoid making a “STAR” structure in the cabling. In large systems it’s also important to terminate the bus in a proper way. This can be done with an ARJ-03 module (explained further in this manual). RS-485 is a differential bus structure, so cabling must be twisted pair (pairs of CAT5 are twisted). -
Page 28: Bus Structure
BUS STRUCTURE Following figure shows a correct example of cabling the system: Wires connected to the paging tables are shorter than 2m, the total cable length of the data bus does not exceed 1000m. ONE STARPOINT The figure below shows an example of a setup with one “star point” ( T-junction). Avoid the use of one “star point”! Wires connected to the paging tables are shorter than 2m, the total cable length of the data bus does not exceed 500m. -
Page 29: Multiple Starpoints
MULTIPLE “STAR POINTS” The figure below shows an example of a setup with multiple “star points”. Avoid the use of a multiple “star point” structure! This is not a correct setup !! -
Page 30: Advanced Operation Apm
Chapter Advanced operation APM Activating “Setup Mode”: When you turn on the power (plug in CAT5Cable) while pressing the “Talk” Button, you activate “Setup Mode”. In this mode, the volume settings of the microphone and the gong can be adjusted. Following figures give an overview of button-functions in “Setup Mode”: APM16:... - Page 31 APM08: APM04:...
- Page 32 APM01: With an APM01, the volume settings are not possible. All volume settings are standard regulated at proper levels. In normal circumstances, it won’t be necessary to change them.
