PMX84 Programmable Matrix Switcher Operation Manual ® Biamp Systems, 10074 S.W. Arctic Drive, Beaverton, Oregon 97005 U.S.A. (503) 641-7287 http://www.biamp.com an affiliate of Rauland-Borg Corp. - Page 2 Multiple units may be used to Logic Inputs pgs. 6 & 7 expand input/output capability of the matrix. The PMX84 is extremely versatile, and ideal for applications such as room combining, zone paging, program Logic Outputs pgs.

- Page 5 ‘preset’ assignments (see Configuration on pg. 10). Remote controls may be added at any time, and do not require the PMX84 to be modified, opened, or removed from a rack. There are four types of remote controls available: The Infrared Transmitter, the Infrared Receiver, the Wall-Mount Panel, and the Remote Interface Kit.
- Page 6 PMX84 in exactly the same way the Infrared Receiver or Wall-Mount does, using 2-conductor shielded cable (not included), and may be wired up to 2000 feet from the PMX84. The circuit board is 2.27"W by 2.65"H, with four mounting holes (2" centers)
- Page 7 (switches ‘opened’). In Binary mode, Logic Inputs 1~8 operate normally, however, Logic Inputs 13~16 are unused (disabled). Files are available for downloading to the PMX84, which represent typical uses of Logic Input Priority & Logic Input Mode, for page routing & room combining applications (see Application on pgs. 16~21).

- Page 9 Logic Outputs, utilizing ‘on’, ‘off’, ‘toggle’, and/or ‘no operation’ commands. The PMX84 logic outputs are ‘open collector’ outputs. Each logic output is an NPN transistor with the collector being the output and the emitter being ground (see diagram on next page). When a logic output is turned on, the transistor provides a path for DC current to flow.

The Mix screen provides a graphic display of all current Matrix Switch Assignments and Logic Outputs, as well as allowing real-time control of the PMX84. The title bar at the top of the Mix screen shows Device Number, custom Device Name, &...
- Page 12 (one for switch ‘closed’ and one for switch ‘open’). Button definitions are also available for when certain groups of Logic Inputs are all ‘open’. The Logic Inputs screen also includes a special definition which is triggered each time the PMX84 is powered up.
- Page 13 PMX84s in the system, using their Device Numbers. Left-clicking Device Name allows a custom name to be given to the PMX84, by entering up to 30 characters of text. The middle section of the screen selects the Logic Input Mode.
- Page 14 The computer can initiate any functions or actions that a standard control can, by simply transmitting the equivalent control button ASCII character. When interfacing the PMX84 to a computer, the computer must be aware that the PMX84 will "echo" all characters it receives (both from computer and standard controls) via the Serial Port 'transmit data' (TXD) signal.
- Page 15 PMX84 is connected to a PC (if the system grounding is not carefully designed). For best performance, the PC ground and the chassis ground of the PMX84 should be at the same potential, and the PC should get AC power from the same source as the PMX84 (and any other audio equipment which is connected to the PMX84).

- Page 17 The D60EQs provide amplification, equalization, & transformer output necessary for the distributed speakers in each zone. Routing switches at each of the paging stations are wired to the appropriate Logic Inputs on the PMX84 (see diagram at bottom of page).
- Page 18 PMX84 will automatically revert to its previous settings, and normal operation. The emergency override signal may be paging, an alarm, or a siren. If no emergency override signal is connected to Input 8 of the PMX84, the Override terminal will still provide an override function.
- Page 19 CMA mixer/amplifiers may be used instead of the 301e mixers & D60EQ amplifiers. A switch on each room partition is wired to the appropriate Logic Input on the PMX84 (see diagram at bottom of page). The Logic Inputs are programmed for a ‘binary’...
- Page 20 This application is identical to the application on the previous page, except that (2) program sources and an emergency paging signal have been added. Program sources 1 & 2 are connected to Inputs 5 & 6 of the PMX84, respectively. Logic Inputs 1, 3, 5, & 7 are programmed to assign Input 5 to Outputs A~D, respectively.
