Page Trigger IN
The page trigger can be used to trigger a page event. The 12VDC trigger input
overrides signal sensing and selects the audio input from Source 8 (if included
in page event) and sends it to any zone that does not have page disabled or
that is not in Do Not Disturb mode. Do not use the page trigger input if there is
a regular audio source connected to Source 8.
Note: The diagram at right shows an optional cable to the 12VDC trigger in
from the phone system - this will initiate the page in the event that the volume
or signal is too low initially to activate the line level input.
Paging Audio IN/OUT
The MCA-C5 has a paging audio input and loop output on Source 8 (right
channel only) that accepts line level audio signals via RCA cables. The paging
inputs interface with the page output of a telephone system or other peripheral
device. When a page event is triggered, it interrupts audio outputs for all
enabled zones. System paging can be disabled permanently in each zone by
software programming or temporarily with Do Not Disturb. To utilize Source 8
for paging input, it must be configured as a page source in the SCS-C5 set up.
Note: If Source 8 is enabled for paging events then only seven source inputs
are available.
The audio input has signal sensing for the paging circuit which will indicate
when an audio signal is present. There is a gain control knob above this input
for setting page input sensitivity.
