  • Page 29: Connecting Speakers

    Connecting Speakers Using common industry standard procedures or accepted practices of AT&T for telephone equipment, mount speakers and adjust speaker top for each paging zone and run the appropriate cable for 70 volt speaker systems. Use class 2 wiring, and comply with any local safety codes. The speakers are wired to the AmpliCenter using either of two methods (figure 3-5).

  • Page 30: Telephone System Interface

    Telephone System Interface The AmpliCenter, when used without a PagePac Plus Controller, connects directly to your facility telephone system for paging. Figure 3-6 shows this interconnection. Be sure the Telephone Mode Switch on the rear of the AmpliCenter is set to the type of telephone system you have (see next paragraph).

  • Page 31: 3-10 Installing The Hardware

    The Dry Loop 600 Ohm is a four wire interface consisting of a dry audio pair with a 600 ohm impedance and a control pair. The page input is activated when the control pair receives a contact closure from the host equipment, connecting C1 to ground.

  • Page 33: Music Source Interface

    Music Source Interface Music Input To provide background music for your paging system, a music source can be connected to your AmpIiCenter at the 10-position connector on the rear. The audio source can be a CD player, AM, FM, or commercial radio, tape player, or other audio device.

  • Page 34: System Testing

    System Testing With the zone wired and connected to the AmpliCenter, testing may begin. CAUTION: Be careful not to short out any audio output contacts during this procedure as the AmpliCenter may go into overload as indicated by the overload LED. A distorted or inaudible page will result.
  • Page 35 The Paging output is limited to a nominal 70 Volts rms by the ALC. In a properly designed system, sound loudness is normally adjusted by selection of appropriate speakers and their individual tap settings for a 70 Volt input. However, circumstances such as a long term change in ambient noise may call for reducing the loudness of all speakers en-mass.

  • Page 37: In Case Of Difficulty

    Your PagePac Plus system is designed to provide trouble-free performance without any special maintenance procedures. To reduce the risk of accidental damage: Keep the system modules in an area free of dust, smoke, and moisture, and do not block their air vents. Keep the rear of the modules neat.

  • Page 38: Power Failure Operation

    Power Failure Operation The PagePac Plus AmpliCenter will operate with the host telephone system in the event of a power failure if both are connected to an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). If the host system is Centrex, no local power is required for the telephone system, though the AmpliCenter requires AC power.
