10960 Series
Zone Interface Modules
Getting Started
Product Overview
Thank you for your purchase of the GAI-Tronics Zone Interface Module (ZIM). The 10960 Series ZIM
models provide complimentary hardware and functionality to the 10959 Series Audio Messenger
Interfaces (AMI).
Prior to installation of the ZIM, we recommend you read the entire manual and inspect the contents of the
package to ensure the following are included:
• Zone Interface Module (See model chart on page 2)
• Product Evaluation Card – Please fill out and return at your earliest convenience
Features and Functions
The ZIM can be equipped with either or both of the following:
• 69502-xxx Page/Party
®
Interface Module
• 69451-xxx Amplifier Steering Module
The Model 10960-002 and 10960-003 Zone Interface Modules each include a Page/Party
®
Interface
Module, which provides the capability to broadcast any audio generated by the AMI on a GAI-Tronics
Page/Party
®
system. When coupled with an AMI equipped with a telephone interface card, the
Page/Party
®
Interface provides telephone callers access to full-duplex party line communications.
In the event that a Page/Party
®
user does not answer the page within a reasonable amount of time, the
telephone interface provides a re-page feature. If the caller enters a DTMF “#” while waiting for a party
to answer, the system prompts the caller to make another page. For example, if the original party is not
available to answer the page, the caller has the option to re-page another person.
Additionally, when the 10960 includes the Page/Party
®
Interface, the AMI can be configured to allow a
telephone caller to direct the telephone call to a specific party line. Please see the Remote Commands
section of this manual for more details.
