OUTPUTS: Speaker Line Outputs:

- 120W: VM-2120, 240W: VM-2240- 100 volts (70 or 50 volt by simple modification)- 1 Direct- 5 Zones (with ON/OFF Switch and Attenuator)- (50V and 70V can be achieved by internal re-wiring)

1 Line Output pre-master 1 Line Output post-master 1 Recording Output



5 priority levels are provided:

Emergency: highest priority

4 priority levels (1 - 4)

Remote-Controlled Power-ONthe VM is always in stand-by mode,

to be switched on by external equipment (e.g. central system in emergency case)

Emergency Power (24V DC) Inlet Cascading 9 VM-2000

9 VM-2000 can be combined to obtain up to45 zones and more output power

BGMBGM

Mute-level can be set:-∞∞, -28, 0 dB: to allow just mixing, keeping BGM present during paging or to switch off

BGM has always lowest priority (priority level 4) Assignment to Zones

The BGM signal can be routed to the zones selected by the front panel’s zone switches



3 MIC/LINE Inputs (Inputs 1~3) combined XLR / phone jacks, balanced Input 1 with additional DIN jack

control input included

Volume, bass & treble control Selectable sensivity:

microphone (-60 dBV) or line signal (-10 dBV Phantom power:

can be switched on or off for all simultaneously when set to microphone sensivity

Rear

Control inputs on clamp terminal



Control Settings

Selectable priority: When using control inputs: priority level 1 or 2 can be selected When not using control inputs: priority level 3 is provided Channels of the same priority level, can be set either to

Last-in-first-out (LIFO) or first-in-first-out (FIFO) Assignment to Zones

- in priority level 1 or 2, the inputs can be assigned to certain zones- in priority level 3, the inputs will be routed to the zones selected by

the front panel’s zone switches Mixing

In priority level 2, mixing can be selected In priority level 3, mixing is provided

Pre-Announcement Chime Priority level 1 and 2 provide automatic pre-chime On input 3, the pre-chime can be switched off

PCB



1 Telephone Input Push-in terminal block (balanced) with control input

Sensivity: -10 dBV

Connection to a PABX system with an audio output and control signal output

Priority level 1 or 2 Pre-announcement chime

can be set ON or OFF

Rear PCB



Connection of up to 4 remote microphones parallel connection in „daisy chain“ using RJ45 connectors and category 5 cables

(4 pairs with shield)

VM-2000 (master)RJ45

* external power supply necessary for more than 1 remote microphone(AD-4800 ER, part code 100-07-291-80)



1 External Speaker input on push-in screw terminal to switch the connected speakers to an external

power amplifiere.g. to connect the speakers to a central system

e.g. to connect the speakers to a stand-by amplifier in case of amplifier failure

the external signal will be switched directly to the speaker lines

the attenuators will be bypassed

3 Line Level Outputs Recording Output

pre-master, for recording independent of master volume, level: 0 dBV

Line Outputpre-master, for connecting additional amplifiers without master volume control of VM , level: 0 dBV

Pre (amplifier) Outputpost-master, for connecting additional amplifiers with master volume control on VM, or to connect the slave VM, level: 0 dBV

Nine VM-2000s can be combined to increase the output power to increase the number of zones up to 45 one unit will be master, the others all slaves the voice announcement module needs to be

installed only in the master unit the remote microphone(s) will be connected to the

master unit only Full access to each desired zone of the

slave units through the master unit

Absolute Priority

5 priority levels are provided: Emergency: highest priority 4 priority levels (1 - 4)

Relative Prioritywhen inputs of the same priority level (1 or 2) are activated at the same time, valid for all inputs with control

last-in-first-out (LIFO) and first-in-first-out (FIFO) unit no. Priority only for RM-200M and messages 1 - 5

Mixing in priority level 2: “priority 2 mixing” is set in priority level 3



Audio Levels at different Priority Levels Emergency : max. level at speaker

bypass of master volume and zone attenuators, activation of external attenuator control

priority level 1 & 2: max. level output XXX - bypass of master volume and zone attenuators- when “priority 2” is set to “mixing”: no bypass of master

volume and zone attenuators for inputs of priority level 2

priority levels 3 and 4: level as setno bypass of master volume and zone attenuators



The VM-2000 is a package amplifier providing VA (Voice Alarm) functionsSo, it can be set into the Emergency Mode by:

depressing the remote microphones emergency key external control:

- starting the ALERT function

- starting the EVACUATION function

The Emergency mode can be stopped only by external control !

To avoid switching off easily
