INTEGRATED AMPLIFIERS
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
MUTING FUNCTIONS
VOX - VOICE ACTIVATED MUTING - The Amplifier is equipped
with a noiseless, fast acting Logic Muting Function. When a signal
is present at the MICROPHONE or TELEPHONE Input, either
from a Microphone or a Telephone Paging source, the Muting
Function is activated muting the source present at the AUX Input
and as well as the source present at the PROGRAM input if selec-
tively activated. Once the Signal (paging) is terminated the pro-
gram is automatically restored on all muted inputs.
FOR THE VOX ATTACK AND DECAY TIMING REFER TO THE
FIG. 9B DIAGRAM.
ACCESS TO MUTING SELECTORS

CAUTION: PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS
OPERATION BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE
SAFETY NOTES REFERRING TO THE
REMOVAL OF THE AMPLIFIER COVER.
AUTOMATIC PRECEDENCE THRESHOLD
The VOX Trimmer VR 9 sets the sensitivity level at which
point the VOX is engaged during paging. The VOX
Trimmer VR9 is located on the Main Printed Circuit
Board (see Fig.89).
CAUTION: Procure a miniature screwdriver having a tip
NO WIDER than 3/16” (3 mm). A larger tip screwdriver
can damage the trimmer.
1) Turn all Input Controls to 0.
2) Turn Trimmer counterclockwise until it stops.
3) Connect a Paging Source (Microphone or Telephone)
to the respective Input Terminals (For connection details
refer to the appropriate section in this Manual).
4) While talking from the Paging Source (Microphone or
Telephone) rotate the MIC (Front Panel) or TEL (Rear
panel) Volume Control until the desired output level is
achieved.
5) Connect a Music Source to the AUX 1 Input and
rotate the AUX 1/CD Volume Control on the front panel
until the desired output level is achieved.
6) While talking from the Paging Source (Microphone or
Telephone) turn the Trimmer slowly clockwise until the
Program (music) is cut-off (Muting activated).
