    Introduction Each Zeus intercom system will have unique requirements for cables, so it is not practical to supply these with Zeus. A computer interconnect cable has been provided, but even this may not be long enough for your system layout requirements.

    For each connected phone line, connect from the DE-9S connector (labeled "INTCM FRAME") on the back of the TIF-951 to a Zeus intercom channel. Use a 9-pin intercom cable (Figure 11, page 23). For each intercom port used by the TIF-951, set DIP switches 4 to 7 on the back of the TIF-951 as summarized in Table 7.

    GPI outputs are RY01, RY02 etc. Although the actual GPI outputs from Zeus are not relays, they are generally used in the same way that relays would be used. If you connect a UIO-256 Universal I/O Frame to Zeus, this device has actual relays which are assigned using the GPI output feature of ZEUSedit.

You connect a Zeus GPI output to the control input of the paging amplifier. (In some cases, an external relay cir- cuit may need to be constructed, such as the one shown in Figure 24.

    System-to-System Adapters are used to make the belt pack audio compatible with Zeus. Each SSA-324 can in- terface 2 belt packs to Zeus, with each belt pack on a separate channel. In order to prevent audio coupling be- tween the belt packs, the power distribution cables are constructed without connecting any wire to pin 3 (see Fig- ure 19, page 24).

    Unbal position. The System A and System B switches on the front panel should be set to CH2. For each Zeus channel, you can start with the default analog input / output settings. Adjust the level going from Zeus to each belt pack using the Level to RTS trimmer on the front of the SSA-324.
  • Page 34 10, and the GPI connector information starting on page 28. A ULN2803 device driver IC is used for the GPI outputs of the Zeus frame. This IC has 8 outputs, each of which is capable of sinking up to 500 mA at 5 VDC. However, the Zeus internal power supply cannot provide enough power to simultaneously drive all 8 outputs at their maximum rating.
  • Page 35 DIP Switch Notes Make sure that the rate set here matches the rate set in Zeus-edit. 9600 baud permits a longer PC cable, but uploads and downloads will be slower (approximately 30 seconds for a complete system update). Alternatively, 38.4 kbaud will provide faster uploads and downloads, but the PC cable should be kept to a length less than 10 ft (3m), and some older PC's may not operate reliably at this speed.
