Setting Address and DIP Switches: ACM-24AT, ACM-48A
The board switches are grouped depending on the number of channels, so that the number of switches per group equals the number of chan-
nels enabled on the XPIQ. This enables the ACS to control operation of groups of multi-channels mapped to groups of multiple speakers.
Within a group, channels have priority and only one channel can output its contents on the speaker circuit. Pressing a switch in a group has
the following effects:
1.
If there are no lit LEDs in the group, the output of the channel will be directed to the speaker circuit, and the point-active LED at that
switch will flash.
2.
If the LED is unlit but other outputs within the group are active, the other outputs will be deactivated and their LEDs will turn off.
If the output of a particular LED cannot be deactivated (due to panel programming choices, for example), that LED will turn on steady.
3.
If the LED is lit steady, the output will be deactivated, and the point-active LED will turn off.
4.
If the LED was flashing, the output will be turned off, the LED will turn off, the next highest-priority LED within the same group will
begin to flash.
For example, in a system with three channels and four speakers, where channel one has higher priority than channel two, which has higher
priority than channel three, the system would be set up with one ACM-24AT board, and DIP SW32 on the ACM-24AT would be set as fol-
lows:
In this example, point mappings are as shown the "3 Switches per Group" section of Table 5.19. If Switch 8 were pressed with no lit LEDs in
the group, the output of Channel 2 would be directed to speaker circuit 3, and the point-active LED at switch P8 would flash.
Configuring Switch Groups
Annunciator switches can be set in groups from one-point up to eight-points. If selecting 5-point or 7-point groups, note that there will be
some unused switches; any unused points should be programmed as monitor points.
Configure Speaker Control Mode with DIP switch SW32-2, SW32-3, and SW32-4 according to the point assignments shown in Table 5.1.
