Page 6: Introduction
Safety Information Cloud PM paging microphones operate from a low DC voltage, supplied by either an AC adaptor or the Cloud host device to which the microphone is connected. As such, the microphone requires few safety precautions. However, note that both the metal base of the unit and the mic gooseneck will be electrically connected to the chassis of the host device (e.g. -
Page 7: Overview
Thank you for purchasing this Cloud PM paging microphone. Four models of the PM are available: the PM4, PM8, PM12 and PM16. The models differ only in the number of zone select buttons on the front panel (4, 8, 12 or 16 respectively), and consequently in the maximum of zones that can be supported. -
Page 8: Scope Of This Manual
In addition to the installation aspects, a User Section provides a simplified description of the PM’s operation; it is recommended that installers should photocopy this section (or download a PDF copy of this manual from the Cloud website and print the section off) and leave a copy for the operator. -

Page 13: Fitting The Mi100166 Gooseneck Microphone
The standard gooseneck mic supplied with the PM Series is 300 mm in length, and this may be inconveniently long if the PM unit is wall-mounted. A 140 mm version, Part No. MI100166, may be ordered separately from Cloud Electronics, and fitted instead. -
Page 14: Power Requirements
Powering from a Cloud host mixer If the PM is to be connected to a Cloud host mixer, DC power may be obtained from the mixer as long as it has a suitable power supply connection, and the spare current capacity of the mixer is sufficient. -
Page 15: Current Considerations
Via the Analogue Port. The PM’s analogue interface allows for DC power. The ‘+V’ and ‘0V’ terminals of the internal port connector should be wired to the ‘+V’ and ‘0V’ pins respectively of the access connector at the Cloud host mixer. This method of powering requires an additional core in the access cable (the ‘0V’... -

To connect the PM to a Cloud host mixer via the Digital Paging Interface, connect the OUT port of the PM to the IN port of the mixer using CAT-5 cable and RJ45 connectors. - Page 17 (see page 9) will not be required.

Page 18: Connecting The Pm To A Mixer Via The Analogue Interface
The number of cores required depends on the particular PM model (PM4, PM8, etc.), and whether DC power is to be derived from the host mixer via the control cable (see page 19). One core is required for each zone to be connected, plus a core for the 0 V connection, plus one further core for DC power if needed. - Page 19 Typical example The diagram below shows the overall cable connections between a PM4 and a Cloud 46/50 host mixer (which has a typical 4-zone short-to-ground access port).

Page 20: Configuring The Pm
By default, a zone button on a PM selects paging to the same-numbered zone. Thus the buttons on a PM4 will normally address Zones 1 to 4, and those on a PM8 Zones 1 to 8. However, there may be situations where a paging station is required to address a different subset of available zones to the set starting at Zone 1. -
Page 21: Setting An Offset
Jumper Value When ‘ON’ Example: to set a PM4 to operate on zones 10-13, the offset value needs to be 9. To achieve this, jumpers J11 and J14 should be ON, J12 and J13 should be OFF. (J11=8, J14=1; 8+1=9). -
Page 22: Power-On Non-Volatile Memory (Nvm) Reset
A PM may be set to HIGH priority by setting J8 to ON. See page 32 for a diagram showing jumper locations. Note that microphone priority only applies to microphones using the Digital Paging PM4/8/12/16 Installation and User Guide v2.2... -

Page 24: Terminating The Digital Paging Interface
In systems using a single PM connected to a host mixer via the digital interface (such as the Cloud DCM-1), the terminations should be ON in both the PM and the mixer. In systems with multiple PMs, only the mixer and the PM at the “end”... -

PM being configured is “mid-chain”, with both its CAN PORT IN and CAN PORT OUT connectors in use, set the termination to OFF by removing the jumper. Setting the terminations on the Cloud DCM-1 The Digital Paging Interface is referred to in the DCM-1 documentation as the ‘CDPM bus’. -
Page 26: Configuring Dual Purpose Microphone Inputs On The Host Mixer
Models 36/50 or 46/50, or Zone Mixers Models CX263 or CX163. On these mixers, Mic 1 input needs to be configured for paging use with a Cloud PM by enabling the Mic Access input on the rear panel. Without the Mic Access input enabled, Mic 1 input acts only as a general purpose microphone input and is permanently active. -
Page 27: Systems With Multiple Paging Microphones
Systems with multiple paging microphones Connecting a single Cloud PM microphone to a host mixer is quite straightforward. If more than one microphone is required in a system, various additional factors need to be taken into account. As far as systems with multiple PMs are concerned, most of these factors are already covered elsewhere in the manual. -
Page 28: Maximum System Capability
– i.e., that which connects directly to the mixer. All PM models support all 16 zones, so in an extreme example, several PM16s could be daisy-chained with a PM4 as the “last” microphone in the chain. All microphones on the system will have full access to whichever zones are required. -
Page 29: Using The Analogue Interface With Multiple Pms
