Introduction The Page Station Expander is designed to be mounted on a wall housed in a standard, US 2-gang, electrical wall box and connects directly to the rear of a Q-Sys Page Station via Cat 5e cable. Voice input is provided through a handheld dynamic push-to-talk microphone. A unique magnetic docking system and cable strain relief allow flexibility in microphone placement when not in use, yet help deter theft or removal of the microphone.

The Q-Sys solution (Figure 3) is designed to be deployed on QSC’s high performance Q-LAN network. Q-LAN is a proprietary network implementation that bundles several industry standard protocols into a data transport solution appropriate for live performance multimedia environments. Q-LAN offers gigabit data rates, device and network redundancy, 32-bit floating point audio data transfers, and low-latency support on local area network deployments.
If service is required and the original packing material is not available, ensure that the unit is adequately protected for shipment (use a strong box of appropriate size, sufficient packing/padding material to prevent load shifting or impact damage) or call QSC’s Technical Services Group for replacement packing material and a carton.

Mounting the Mounting Bracket to a 2-Gang Electrical Box - New Construction ROTE!: The mounting procedure for an old-construction 2-gang box is the same, however not all old-construction boxes will work with the PS-X. Be sure you verify the fit before installing the old-construction box in the wall.

Configuration of the PS-X requires a Q-Sys Core Processor, a PC running Q-Sys Designer software, and a Q-Sys Page Station both connected to the Q-LAN network. The latest version of Q-Sys Designer may be downloaded from the QSC website (http://www.qscaudio.com/). Additionally, all Q-Sys Core Processors include a Q-Sys Designer CD-ROM.
Using the PS-X For the most part, using the PS-X depends on the configuration of the Page Station in the design created for your installation by your system designer. To make a page, the Ready LED on the PS-X must be illuminated, then just hold the handheld mic button, and begin talking. Release the button when you are finished.
