PCMCPU FCC Required Statements WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC Requirements This equipment is component registered with the Federal Communications Com- mission (FCC) in accordance with Part 68 of its rules.
Section 1 Overview Description The Bogen Model PCMCPU is the microprocessor module for the Bogen PCM Zone Paging System. One module is required per assembly (up to three PCMZPM zone modules). The PCMCPU module provides power, data and audio connec- tions for the PCM system.
PCMCPU Background Music (BGM) • Low-power distributed (buffered for up to 50 amplified speakers) • High-power, using dedicated BGM amplifier • High-power using a single paging/BGM amplifier • BGM disable to individual zones • Local BGM input on each individual zone module Signaling •...
PCMCPU Section 2 Installation Assembling Modules To assemble modules together, place them side by side starting with the left most module of the assembly (for master system assembly, PCMCPU). Plug the ribbon cable connector into its header (see drawing for orientation). Then plug the 6-pin connector onto its header.

PCMCPU Power The PCM system requires 12V DC 1.5A. Use the PCMPS2 power supply. Plug the power supply into the POWER jack on the PCMCPU module. Power can also be connected to the 12V DC terminals on the connector block. System ID For a system with no satellites, set SYS ID DIP switches on PCMCPU module to the position shown.
PCMCPU Section 3 System Expansion Concept In situations where it is necessary to extend beyond 9 zones of paging, satellite systems and a master must be used. Each satellite system is responsible for the specific group of zones as determined by the setting of its SYS ID DIP switches. The master system transmits its commands on the Data Link bus to all satellites at the same time, but only the specifically addressed satellite responds.
PCMCPU System ID Once the satellite systems have been wired together, the satellite ID numbers can be assigned. The ID for the master system (the one which has the PCMTIM module) must be set to zero (all SYS ID switches set to "0"). Although satellite systems can be numbered in any order, it is best to number them sequentially, starting with "1"...
PCMCPU Section 4 Paging System Assemblies: Applications and Illustrations Introduction The examples and illustrations shown on the following pages are typical paging system configurations. For improved clarity, these illustrations show the modules separated from each other. In actual systems, all modules in an assembly are physically connected.
10 satellites. Two stranded wires can be clamped in each of the terminals to simplify wiring and eliminate wiring splices.
