INTEGRATION WITH ACSI V2 PROTOCOL The new version of the ACSI protocol has been recently released with the firmware v02.40.xx.xx of NEO devices. This new version has been integrated on the v02.xx version of the MPS8Z+, taking advantage of its better capabilities and new features. The ACSI v2 protocol brings many improvements over its former version v1.
INDICATORS 2.1.1 SYSTEM STATUS INDICATORS The status indicators show at all times the working condition of the equipment or system. They are located in the upper right corner of the equipment. : EMERGENCY Active (on in red colour) when the system is in an emergency operation state (voice alarm).

2.1.2 STATUS INDICATORS OF THE CALL CHANNEL The status indicators per channel, show at all times their status or operating condition. : BUSY Active (on in red colour) when the call channel is busy by another device with higher priority in the ACSI bus. When during a voice announcement, the call channel is busy by a device with a higher priority, it will light up intermittently, indicating that the call has been cancelled.
CONTROLS 2.2.1 ADVANCED FUNCTION CONTROLS “MEM” (MEMORY) "MEM" button located to the left of the upper area of the keyboard. It allows access to the configured zone memories. “EVENT” The "EVENTS" button is located in the second position from the left side in the upper area of the keyboard.
2.2.2 CALL FUNCTIONS CONTROLS ZONE MEMORY They are located in the lower half of the microphone desk. They allow the selection of zone memories, and the voice message, one or several simultaneously. When a memory is selected, the memory indicator will be activated. : TALK It is located at the bottom of the keyboard, occupying the central area.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS Picture 3: Inputs and Outputs 2.3.1 MIC This input allows you to connect an external microphone or a stereo audio line (see chapter 5.3 for its configuration). When the external microphone mode is enabled, a mono audio connection will be used where only the left channel of the mini-jack connector is received.
Mark Description Type Signals Activation Line level balanced audio. ACSI BUS Input Protocol N/A Control and power bus. Table 2: Bus ACSI connection NOTE: This connection is not compatible with standard Ethernet. 2.3.3 AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY The equipment has an auxiliary power supply. Emergency voltage is continuous and has a nominal value of 5V.
- The status LEDs flash twice, all at the same time, in which case it is ACSIv2. - The status LEDs, make a random sequence of power on, in which case it is ACSIv1. If it is ACSI v1, go to the MPS8Z manual, where the functionalities of this version are described.
3.2 CONNECTION TO THE SYSTEM (ACSI BUS) Picture 5: Devices connection in a Public Adress System The equipment has two connections for the Public Address system. The connection for all the elements is in bus mode. Each device is connected to the previous one, up to 32 devices and a maximum total wiring of 1000m (3280,84ft).
This offset is indicated with a blinking state of the zone led, as shown in the table ● below: No blinking Offset value = 0 Selecting zones from 1 to 8 Zone 1 blink Offset value = 8 Selecting zones from 9 to 16 Zone 2 blink Offset value = 16 Selecting zones from 17 to 24...
3.4 MPS-8K+ EXPANSION KEYBOARDS INSTALLATION Picture 7: MPS-8K+ Expansion Keyboard Installation MPS8Z+ paging microphone can attach up to 7 expansion keyboards, each of them with 8 zone selection buttons. In order to connect the expansion keyboards, MPS8Z+ has 1 expansion port, located on the right side of the device. This way, the keyboards can be installed on the right side of the MPS8Z+.
Select the expansion keyboard ID with the corresponding roulette as shown in chapter ● 3.4.1 Connect again the MPS8Z+ to the ACSI Bus. By default, the new buttons will adopt ● the PA/VA System zones as shown in chapter 3.3. 3.4.1 KEYBOARD ID The keyboard ID selection roulette is only available in the expansion keyboards...
4 OPERATION DESCRIPTION 4.1 POWER ON Select the power supply origin as shown on 3.1. Connect the power supply cable into 'PWR' (Power) connector located on the back side of the equipment, or directly through the ACSI bus. On the frontal side of the equipment, a check indicators sequence will start. Once the sequence is finished, linking with the system process will start and it will be shown in the corresponding indicator.
