BGM ON/OFF SWITCH
POWER LED ON
These switches turn the BGM amplifier input ON or
OFF to the corresponding ZONE OUTPUT
This LED indicates the unit is powered “on”.
NOTE: When using the 24VDC in socket,
the amplifier is ‘on’ and the power LED
will always be on regardless of the
position of the power switch.

BGM ON/OFF LED
These LED’s indicate if the BGM amplifer input is
routed to the corresponding ZONE OUTPUT. Label
space is provided to write the name of each zone.

POWER SWITCH
This switch switches power on or off from the
mains. The up position is on.

PAGING LEVEL
This pot controls the level of the XLR output signal
of the PAGING channel. It affects both the Paging
Station and the Mic/Line XLR & RCA priority
paging input.
NOTE: When using the 24VDC in socket,
the amplifier is ‘on’ regardless of the
switch position.

The only internal access required is for the installation of an Australian Monitor tone generator module. Installation is easy and is done by inserting the module
onto the appropriate headers.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
For wiring balanced in, pin 2 is hot. Balanced input wiring (shielded pair cable) is recommended.
Unbalanced RCA wiring should be keep as short as possible. Typically less than 3m.

Z16M PAGING STATION
INTRODUCTION
CONTROLS
The Australian Monitor Installation Series Zoner16M Paging Station is a 16 zone
paging station complete with a slimline gooseneck paging microphone. The Paging
station is designed to be used with the Zoner16 Zone Switching System and will
allow paging into any individual zone, any combination of zones or All Call to all
zones. LED indicators provide the user with visual feedback of the zones being
paged or if the priority local paging All Call is busy. Ample label space is provided
on the paging station. Connection to the Zoner16 is via low cost CAT 5 cable and
as with all Australian Monitor installation products the paging
5
station provides an elegant solution at a contractor friendly price.

These buttons allow selection of zones for paging.
When selected, the adjacent LED glows green.
Pressing the button again deselects the zone. The
area next to the button is for labelling the zone.
Selecting a zone does not instigate paging.
See 4. ZONE PAGE.
This button pages to all zones. It is momentary so
must be held while talking into the microphone. It
activates the microphone and mutes the program
sources. It does NOT clear the current zone selec-
tion configuration so the paging station will return
to its previous state (selected zones) once the ALL
PAGE button is released.
This LED glows when the paging station is being
used (you are making a page). It flashes when the
main unit priority All Call is being used. Paging is
not possible while this is flashing, however zone
selections can still be made.

ZONE PAGE
This button clears all the selected zones.
This button pages to the current zone selection
configuration as indicated by the ZONE select
LED’s. The zones being paged have their BGM
sources muted and the microphone becomes
active.
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
The CAT5 cable connects to the RJ45 socket on the rear panel of the paging station. This socket is a NEUTRIKTM connector designed to be used with the XLR
style housing (model NE8MC) to improve reliability. Normal RJ45 connectors can also be used.
Plugging and unplugging the cable while the system is powered up may result in the system locking up and is not recommended. If this should happen, reset the
Zoner16 by switching off, then on.
GAIN
To accommodate different speech levels, there is a gain control on the base of the Zoner16M. This control ships set
to minimum and may be adjusted to suit. Increasing this control too far may cause the paging station to distort if
loud or close speech levels are encountered.
