Music) “fades out,” and the gradual raising of volume as another audio (ex. Spot) “fades in.” ! Group: Indirect addressing method where a unit may be addressed along with other units who share a similar characteristic, such as geographic location, network status, etc.
Page 11: Default Conditions
! Input audio clip level may be aligned with PPL levels of Wegener audio receivers. ! “Music-only” pass-through output as well as normal selectable output. ! Network messages displayed to LCD front-panel. ! For emergency recovery, Muzak Network Operations Center (NOC) can ‘Default’ unit, which will format PC Card, unload schedules, erase EEPROM, and reset with factory defaults.

Page 23: Section 3 - System Operation
SECTION 3 SYSTEM OPERATION INTRODUCTION This section contains information about the operation of the Diamond DX™ Messaging System, including Network-controlled functions, Locally-controlled functions, and those which can be accomplished by the Network or under local control. Front and rear panel controls are also discussed here.
Page 24: Front Panel Menus
This is a versatile machine which will do what you tell it to do, even if you tell it to do the wrong thing. Figure 3-1. Diamond DX Front Panel WEGENER COMMUNICATIONS select enter digital audio messaging on demand Figure 3-2.

Page 26: Front-Panel Interface
FRONT-PANEL INTERFACE Refer to Figure 3-3 for the basic LCD menu system. 3.4.1 Home Level Screens 1. The unit should power up in the Home Level Time/Date screen shown as “A” in Figure 3-3. If the time/date has not been set by the network, then this screen should be displayed as [NO TIME/DATE SET].
Page 27 These alarms may, under certain circumstances, be masked by Network Control. This means that when the alarm condition is present, the alarm screen will not display. This will happen only in unusual circumstances, but if you have any problems which you cannot resolve, call Network Control for assistance.
Page 28: Front-Panel Message Screens
6. The [AUDIO CLIPPING] screen displays only during recording while the audio clip indication is detected by the internal audio processing card. 3.4.3 Front-panel Message Screens The ‘Network Message’ and ‘Record’ indicator screens are shown at the bottom of Figure 3-3 1.
Page 29: Real Time Clock
4. Delete Local Spot. Here, by pressing <ENTER> you can move to a set of screens where you can delete local spots. See Section 3.9. 5. Set Parity. Pressing <ENTER> will move the display to screens where you can set the parity for the Serial Port.
Page 30: Spot Recording
d. Pressing <SELECT> will also exit this screen, but without changing the current setting. In addition to the two sensitivity levels, a finer gain adjustment can be made by Network Control. If neither of the local levels meets your needs, contact Muzak NOC for further assistance. SPOT RECORDING To record local spots, you will need, at minimum, a microphone.
Page 31: Spot Deletion
You can also play local spots back under local control. To do this, you again use the front panel controls and display. Remember that this will cause the spot to play immediately. See Fig. 3-3. NOTE: A pre-scheduled ad will take priority over a manually forced ad. 1.
Page 32: Monitoring Unit Status
2. Press <ENTER> to move to the ‘Parity Select’ screens. [OddParity Enter] will be displayed. 3. Pressing <SELECT> will move you through the three ‘Parity Select’ screens and the ‘Exit’ screen. When the parity (Odd Parity, Even Parity, or No Parity) you wish to select is displayed, press <ENTER>.
Page 33: Rear Panel I/O And Cabling
Removing the RAM Card could erase its contents, so do not remove it without good reason. Usually this will be done at Network Control direction. Once addressed, the card is not- transferrable. There should be no reason to remove this card. If Muzak NOC tells you to replace your Ram Card, you can quickly do so by following these instructions: 1.
Page 34: Dc Power Input
See Figure 3-2 for a representative view of the Diamond DX rear panel. There are a variety of rear panel inputs and outputs, each of which is listed and described in the following section. They are also listed in Table 1-1, Diamond DX Specifications. 3.13.1 DC Power Input DC power is connected from an external wall-mount consumer-grade +12VDC power supply.
