THEY MUST FEATURE FLEXIBLE SELECTION OF THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS AND FLEXIBLE INTERFACING WITH EXTERNAL PERIPHERAL UNITS. THE PASO PMS2000 SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE FOR THESE APPLICATIONS AND OTHER MORE DEMANDING ONES. IT IS AN EXTREMELY VERSATILE PROFESSIONAL MODULAR AMPLIFICATION "SYSTEM" CAPABLE OF MEETING THE MOST COMPLEX PLANT SPECIFICATIONS. SOUND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AN ESSENTIAL AND QUALIFYING FEATURE OF ANY HOTEL, TOURIST FACILITY, RESIDENCE OR HOSPITAL IS AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING MORE THAN ONE SOUND PROGRAMME TO EACH ROOM OR COMMON AREA, THROUGH COMPACT AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING RECEIVER UNITS. THE POSSIBILITY OF USING THE SYSTEM TO BROADCAST GENERAL OR ALARM ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED EVEN WHEN THE RECEIVERS ARE SWITCHED OFF ADDS VALUE AND USEFULNESS TO THE SYSTEM. PASO MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEMS BASED ON TELEPHONE PAIRS ARE THE SIMPLEST, MOST INEXPENSIVE AND MOST RATIONAL PLANT-ENGINEERING SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING MORE THAN ONE AUDIO PROGRAMME THROUGHOUT STRUCTURES THAT ARE COMPLEX IN ANY WAY, WITH NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF LISTENING STATIONS AND WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF "LOCAL" RECEIVER CUSTOMISATION. MULTI-CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION CAN ALSO BE PUT TO GOOD USE IN SIMPLE AND RELIABLE WIRED SIMULTANEOUS TRANSLATION SYSTEMS. systems PMS2000 · Professional modular system T HE PMS2000 SYSTEM WAS DEVEL- OPED WITH THE AIM OF CREATING BOTH CONVENTIONAL BROADCASTING SYSTEMS FEATURING FLEXIBILITY OF USE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING TO THEM IN TIME, AND SOUND-BROADCASTING SYSTEMS WITH DIAGNOSTIC CONTROL INCLUDING A FUNCTION FOR SENDING EMERGENCY OR EVACUATION MESSAGES (VOICE EVACUATION SYSTEMS ­ VES), MEETING IEC 60849 STANDARDS. THE MODULAR NATURE OF THE SYSTEM ENABLES TAILOR-MADE CONFIGURATIONS TO BE CREATED, WITH REGARD BOTH TO DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS AND THE BUDGET AT DISPOSAL. IN DESIGNING A VES SYSTEM, IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY NOT ONLY WITH THE INDICATIONS PROVIDED BELOW BUT ALSO WITH IEC PMS2000 60849 STANDARDS MENTIONED ABOVE. GENERAL FEATURES The modular PMS 2000 system uses two types of card-cage: a signal card-cage, in which up to a maximum of 10 modules can be housed, and a power card-cage, capable of containing from two to four amplifiers, depending on their output power. The PMS2002-B card-cage will contain the modules (input/output modules, zones selectors, line output, power supplies, tuners, etc.) that, thanks to the bus-type configuration of the mother board, can be plugged in without having to follow a specific order. This is because an essential and innovative feature of the PMS2000 system is the presence of 3 signal buses, of which one for managing PA signals with related zones addressing and two (A & B) for PMS2002-B managing two signals other than PA or one stereo signal (fig. 1.1). This enables several independent systems to be set up within a single card-cage, in which they will in any case be connected to a single control and power-supply line. One example of application could be that of a theatre in which it would be possible, using a single system, to broadcast stereo music for the show and, at the same time, to make voice calls to the single dressing-rooms. In case of need or in an emergency, it would be possible to suspend the music to send general messages to all the rooms. The bus carries the power-supply lines, the audio signals, the serial communication line and the service signals (priority, enabling, etc.). The only exception to the random nature of the positions of the modules inside the rack concerns the PM2020-B and PM2020-V input modules, for which priority of the inputs on one card over those on another is defined by the position of the card in question within the card-cage. The signal card-cage is mounted on sliding guides that enable it to be pulled out from the rack. Once the card-cage has been pulled out, the card-cage can be rotated for ease of installation and maintenance of the modules. The modules are plugged into the card-cage with no need for any internal cabling. All the connectors used for the input and output connections, located on the rear, are of the professional type and particularly functional (XLR inputs with locking levers, removable screw-down terminal with bayonet couplings, etc). A PMS2000 system can include up to three PMS2002-B card-cages. Each card-cage can house up to 9 standard 38 mm wide modules plus one PM2011-B power-supply module. The PMS2001 power card-cage enables power amplifiers to be installed in a rack. Three models of amplifier are available, with outputs of 240 W (PMW240), 120 W (PMW 120) and 60 W (PMW60) respectively. A card-cage can contain up to four 60 W or 120 W amplifiers or two 240 W amplifiers, since the latter take up twice as much room in front. Various combinations are possible, such as two 120 W amplifiers plus one 240 W amplifier. 1.1 SYSTEMS A - PMS2000 SYSTEMS FOR SOUND-BROADCASTING ONLY By combining the various functional modules and call stations at disposal, it is possible to "compose" systems for broadcasting music and announcements, the functional characteristics of which may include: · · · · · · · · · Up to 16 audio inputs with adjustable sensitivity for each channel for a system with only one signal card-cage Up to 48 audio signals for a system with 3 signal card-cages Up to 32 or 36 output zones, with override control Up to 32 levels of priority among the inputs Several independent audio systems in the same rack Integration with outside units (matrix units, message generators, PABXs, etc.) 230 VAC and/or 24 VDC power-supply 12, 24 or 32-zone call stations with star connections Programmable digital call stations on RS485 serial lines. Use of analogue call stations is advisable in systems in which the financial aspect prevails, while digital keypads are used in PA systems in which specific functions are required, such as control of the system directly from the call station (volume control, selection of radio stations, intercommunications between the call stations, etc.). When using digital microphone stands, it is essential to use the SWPMB1.0 configuration system.

Each loudspeaker line, also, must be terminated on a PM2094-V line-control card. Very briefly, it can be said that a safety sound-broadcasting system meeting the above standards must have the following requisites: · Control of the critical path, understood to mean the path of the audio signal starting from the capsule of the emergency microphone and/or from the message generator to the loudspeaker line, through the amplification chain: any failure along this path has to be signalled in a suitable manner. · Possibility of operating in case of mains failure for at least 30 minutes at the maximum output and for 24 hours in standby conditions. A secondary source of 24 VDC power with a battery-charging unit must therefore be provided. This source must be sized so as to ensure independent operation as indicated above, depending on the absorption of the system. The maximum operating time in a stand-by condition may be limited to 6 hours when, in addition to the batteries, an emergency generator is also available. · Storage of alarm events in a non-volatile memory, including recording of the date/hours/minutes/seconds. In addition to the functional features of a "conventional" broad-casting system, the VES system will also have the control and alarm features summarised below: · Digital control of the critical path, which includes: - control of the emergency microphone capsule (M961-V) and of the control microphone (PMB130-V) - control of the connection between the alarm control unit and the broadcasting system - control of the warning-and-alarm message generator - functional control of the VES modules - functional control of the power amplifiers - control of the loudspeaker lines (constant-voltage output lines) · Simultaneous broadcasting of the EVACUATION and ALERT messages to different zones · Logging of alarms (up to 100) in the non-volatile memory of the CPU · Software-programmable I/O functions, for managing failures and alarms (PM2093-V/-VL modules with 8 inputs and 8 outputs) · Control of programming and management of the whole system via a PC connected to the RS232 serial line. · Control via console (PMB130-V) equipped with a display, buzzer, warning signal, mechanical key for manual intervention on the system, display of alarm status for each zone (evacuation and/or alert). · Management of stand-by amplifiers (PM2095) · POWER LOW function lowering consumption by the amplifiers in the stand-by condition. · Break in background music in case of mains failure, in order to increase the operating time of the system.

The module can be set to take both microphone signals and high-level signals. Each channel has a disconnectable phantom power supply, a direct pre-amplified output, two-band tone control, an input for enabling of internal priority / chime / gate and a circuit for activating the external control channel. The output level and tone controls are on the front panel. The level of priority in respect of other input modules depends on the position of the module within the card-cage. Each of the two inputs can be equipped with a transformer with galvanic separation (TM80 or TM92) and an effective dynamics-limiting circuit (AC33), which considerably improves playing out of voice messages if there are strong variations in the level of the sound coming from the microphone. PM2020-B (-V) PM2023-B PM2020-V Dual-input module for M961-V emergency microphone The PM2020-V module is similar to the PM2020-B module, with the only difference that input no. 1 is a dedicated input for connecting an M961-V emergency microphone in the VOX mode with top priority over any signal. The M961-V emergency microphone is controlled in accordance with IEC 60849 standards, and is an element of the critical path that is monitored continuously by the system's CPU (PM2021-V). This microphone should be installed, preferably, inside a special soundproofed container in order to avoid generation of "improper" calls or false alarms.

PM2092-V Card for serial control of power amplifiers The PM2092 card enables simple and rapid testing of the PMWxx power amplifiers. It can be used in any system, even for sound-broadcasting only, to carry out the following functions: · Measuring the impedance of the loudspeaker line · Diagnosis of correct operation of the amplifier (gain, power supply, electronic protection and operating temperature) · Checking insulation to earth (GND FAULT) · Volume control of the amplifier by means of a remote potentiometer (max. 1 km) · Add a second input that works either as selected or mixed (automatic attenuation of the secondary input) one · Control of power relay · Operation in "LOW POWER" energy-saving mode · Possibility of switching a failed amplifier automatically to the stand-by unit by means of the PM2095 circuit. In VES systems, it is essential to add the PM2092 card to the power amplifiers. In this case, the card will be controlled by means of a serial interface and it will therefore be possible to view all the control parameters and to change them via a PC. These parameters include: - Reading of the reference impedance for the test - Maximum and minimum values between which the test is valid - Reading of test status - Testing for the presence of the input signal - Measurement of temperature of the power transistors - Volume control - Remote control of the relay. It is also possible to monitor continuity of the loudspeakers lines using PM2094-V cards at the end of the line. PM2095 Card for activating stand-by amplifiers The card, which has to be installed on a DIN guide or using the special AC2095 accessory, receives from the PM2092-V module the command to activate one stand-by amplifier for each group of 4 amplifiers being monitored. The card can be connected to others in cascade formation by means of quick-fitting connectors so as to create other configurations: 1 out of 4, 1 out of 8, 2 out of 8 etc., in multiples of 4. This card has to be powered by a 24 VDC external power supply. PM2094-V End of-line control card The loudspeakers lines from PMW amplifiers with PM2092-V control cards can be kept under control using PM2094-V endof-line cards. The digital monitor identifies the exact point of the failure and its type (break or short circuit), even if the line is split up into several branches (up to 3), which makes laying the lines far simpler and less expensive.

The units are connected to one another in cascade formation, and the connecting cables carry both the analogue audio signal and the digital signal for the controls and station addresses. They can only be used with modules PM2021-B and PM2042-B. PMB131 PMB136 PMB131 The PMB131 call station is equipped with a push button (for short announcements) and a locking key for selecting a zone or a group of zones. Each call station can be programmed to operate within a specific zone or group of zones, up to a maximum of 36 (All Call). Programming is carried out by means of a PC connected temporarily to the PM2021 module. PMB136 The PMB136 call station can make selective calls to up to a maximum number of 36 zones and has 3 function keys, to which one or more zones can be assigned by means of a programming procedure carried out directly from the call station in question. The keypad can also be used to set the various different parameters such as: call station address, priority level (up to 7), microphone sensitivity setting, tone control, volume control, selection of the tuner programme and enabling of the Intercom function. The unit has 36 LEDs for signalling the zones that have been selected or seized and a loudspeaker for the intercom function. This enables the various different operators to communicate with each other and to listen to the announcements that are being broadcast. All the parameters of the unit can be programmed by means of a PC to be connected to the PM2021 module as well as directly via the keypad. The PC can also be used as a diagnostic unit to check whether all the call stations that are connected dialogue correctly with the PMS2000.
