Adding Amplifiers; Deleting Amplifiers - Mircom QX-5000 Series User Manual

Adding Amplifiers

To add an amplifier and configure its zones,
1. Select "Amplifiers/Zones" from the left pane. The right pane displays the Amplifiers/Zones list.
2. Select Edit-->Add from the main menu. The Add Amplifier/Zones Window displays.
3. Edit the amplifier settings then click OK.
Add Amplifiers/Zones Window Description
• You can scroll through the amplifier sections through the Section up and down arrow buttons.
• When adding a new amplifier, the utility will automatically set all sections' paging switches to the next available
un-used switches. If there are no free switches, the previously used paging switches will be used instead. The
sections' Names will be empty. You are able to use one paging switch for several zones.
• A specified Paging/Evacuation/Alert Switch must not be used by the QDV-1000, a QIF-1000 or a switch input in
the Inputs Configuration Window. The configuration utility will check the specified switches and display an error
if they cannot be used. Note that the QDV Installed checkbox in the System Configuration Window (see
page 19 for details) has no effect on this restriction.
• Paging switches can be shared amongst zones, but the Evacuation and Alert switches must be unique.
About the Backup Amplifier
There can only be one backup amplifier per system and it must be the first section on any amplifier board (some
physical considerations might affect the selection decision, but this is not controlled by the utility). You can select
the backup amplifier location either while adding a new amplifier or while editing an existing one. In all cases, the
Backup checkbox will only be available if there is no backup amplifier in the system and you are editing the first
section.
If you would like to change the backup amplifier, uncheck the Backup checkbox for the current backup amplifier
before assigning another one.

Deleting Amplifiers

To delete an amplifier, Select Edit-->Delete from the main menu. The utility will ask you to confirm your request.
Note: When you select a zone (amplifier section) to delete, all amplifier sections in that slot will be deleted.
This means that if the selected amplifier has four sections (as in the QAA-5415 model), and you
delete any of its sections, all four sections will be deleted.
