Section 1 - Connecting The Telephone Interface Description The Bogen Model PCMTIM is the Telephone Interface Module for the Bogen PCM Zone Paging System. Only one PCMTIM module is required per system (1 through 99 zones). The PCMTIM provides the telephone interface (including talk battery), night ringer input, emergency override input, background music source input, and auxiliary relay contacts for the system.
PCMTIM PBX Station Access/CO line In the PBX Station Access/CO line configuration, the unit answers after the first full ring. As soon as it answers, the default timer is started. The default timer determines the maximum length of any page. When a paging zone is selected, the VOX timer is started (if enabled).

PCMTIM 3. Use a modular RJ11 telephone cord (minimum 2-conductor) to connect the mod- ule to the phone system. The two center conductors are Tip and Ring and are not polarity sensitive (see illustration below). Plug one end of the cord in to the PBX or CO modular jack and the other end in to the STATION jack on the module.
PCMTIM PBX Loop Start Trunk Port In the PBX Loop Start Trunk Port configuration, the unit supplies a 48V talk battery and detects loop current. There are two modes of operation for Loop Start Trunk. When the unit detects a loop resistance between Tip and Ring, it activates.

PCMTIM 3. Use a modular telephone cord to connect the module to the phone system. Plug one end of the cord into the Loop Start Trunk (using a modular jack) and the other end in to the TRUNK jack on the module. The two center conductors are Tip and Ring 48V DC and have a specific polar- ity.
PCMTIM PBX Ground Start Trunk Port In the PBX Ground Start Trunk Port configuration, the unit supplies 48V talk battery and detects loop current. When the ground start trunk grounds the PCMʼs Ring, the PCM responds by closing the connection to its Tip, which completes the ac- cess procedure.

PCMTIM 3. Use a modular telephone cord to connect the module to the phone system. Plug one end of the cord into the Ground Start Trunk (using a modular jack) and the other end in to the TRUNK jack on the module. The two center conductors are Tip and Ring 48V DC and are polarity sensitive.
PCMTIM Page Port - Contact Closure In the Page Port/Contact Closure configuration, the unit responds to a contact short- ing the +5 contact closure source to its return (see RJ11 figure below). When the short is removed, the page ends. No timers are used in this mode. Audio is provided to the system through a separate pair of leads.
PCMTIM Page Port VOX In the Page Port/VOX configuration, a dry audio pair is used to detect audio and ac- tivate the system. Paging ends when the VOX timer or default timer times out. 1. Make sure that the power is OFF and all connections completed before proceeding.

PCMTIM 5. Program the Default and VOX timers. See Programming section. Note that the VOX timer can be inhibited, however, Do Not Inhibit the Default Timer or else the system will not drop the page. If this happens, the system power will have to be removed and reconnected.
PCMTIM Override The Override is a non-programmable feature that lets the caller take priority over all paging functions and make a system-wide page to all speakers. The feature can be activated using a loop start trunk or dedicated telephone. Provisions are also in- cluded to interface with other signaling equipment.
PCMTIM Night Ring The PCM Night Ringer signaling feature is designed to alert personnel to incoming calls after normal business hours. The feature can be activated either by a 90V ring signal or by a contact closure. In the factory default configuration, the night ringer sounds over all zones, however, a zone group can be programmed which will sound the night ringer only over a user-selected group of zones.
PCMTIM Section 2 - Accessing Paging Zones Zone Accessing The PCM system supports from 1 to 99 different paging zones (in groups of 3). It also supports up to 32 paging zone groups for voice paging applications, and 11 zone groups for signaling applications (night ringer, code call, EM/SC, 8 time trig- gers).
PCMTIM To Make An All-Call Page 1. Dial the paging access number for your telephone system. 2. Listen for the confirmation tone if enabled (double beep). 3. Dial [0] [0]. 4. Make page and hang up when finished. NOTE: See Programming section to disable All-Call. To Page A Zone Group 1.
PCMTIM The code calling feature is inhibited as the factory default. An auto repeat feature is provided to repeat the code call once or twice with a 5-second delay between repeats. No paging access is allowed until a code call is complete (including repeats). NOTE: The voice paging function of the PCM system is inhibited during code call- ing.
PCMTIM To Make an Echo Code Call Refer to the Programming section for instructions on how to enable the code call feature and to select the echo code call, and/or enable the auto repeat feature. 1. Dial the paging access number for your telephone system. 2.
PCMTIM Section 3 - BGM, Tone, Zone & Zone Group Features BGM SRC Volume The BGM SRC VOLUME control is only used when a single amplifier provides pag- ing and background music in the system. Background music in all zones will be in- terrupted during a page.
PCMTIM Tones In addition to the Override and Night Ring tones described previously, the PCM system provides the following additional tones. Confirmation Tone. A double-beep tone heard by the caller after dialing the pag- ing access number and before entering the desired zone number. The default for the tone is enabled.
PCMTIM Tone Notes The volume level of all of the tones are controlled by the single TONE VOLUME control on the PCMTIM module. All tones will sound at same level. Clockwise ro- tation of the control increases the level. Counterclockwise rotation of the control decreases the level.
PCMTIM Section 4 - Programming System Programming System Programming lets you set certain PCM system operations and tone fea- tures using the DTMF keys of a telephone. It also lets you program paging zone groups and signaling zone groups. NOTE: Paging and tone signaling are not allowed during programming. Recommended Initial Programming Procedure All programming is accomplished through the TRUNK jack, using whatever inter- face has been installed.

PCMTIM NOTE: After you have entered a Feature Code (and any other data), you must press the [#] key to enter it into the system. If the system accepts the code (and data), you will hear a short double beep. You can then continue with the next Fea- ture Code immediately after the double beep by following the same procedure.
PCMTIM Programming Paging Zone Groups 32 paging zone groups can be created. Each zone group can consist of up to 99 zones. To create a zone group: 1. Dial [*] followed by the 2-digit number of the zone group (01 - 32) you want to cre- ate.
PCMTIM Interface VOX Timer If the PCM system is connected to a PBX station port, loop start, ground start, or Page Port Vox, you can set the default timer for the VOX timeout. The default value is 6 seconds. To change the time, enter the Feature Code followed by a single digit from 1 to 9, corresponding to 1 to 9 seconds of silence.
PCMTIM Reset Default Values A Feature Code (999, then #) is available to reset the PCM2000 system to the orig- inal factory default values. Note: All zone groups are also reset. This process takes 5 - 10 seconds. Wait for confirmation tone before hanging up. Feature Codes &...

PCMTIM Connections to MIC using VAR1 In this wiring diagram the VAR1 is used as a microphone preamplifier and provides a dry audio feed at an appropriate level to the dry audio input pins of the Override jack. The contact set of the push-to-talk microphone are connected to the contact closure source and return pins of the Override jack which control the activation of the override feature.
