Introduction

The MPAGE4 is a paging station for real-time voice announcements ("paging"), compatible with the Ecler DAM614 digital audio matrix. Thanks to its keypad, LED indicators, and gooseneck microphone, it allows the selection of target zones for voice announcements, capturing the voice announcement, and transmitting it in real-time to the target zones.

The essential features of the MPAGE4 are:

• 4 Zone selection buttons (ZONE 1 to ZONE 4) (3)
• 1 Selection button for all 4 zones simultaneously (ALL) (4)
• 1 Paging activation button (PAGE) (1)
• 6 LED status indicators (one per button)
• Gooseneck microphone (5)
• Configurable chime melody (6)
• RJ-45 connector for connection with a CAT5 standard cable to the PAGER connector of the DAM614 (7)

Installation and Connection

The following steps are necessary for the installation of an MPAGE4:

1. Installation of the cable connection using a CAT5 standard cable between the BASE connector of the MPAGE4 (7) and the PAGER connector on the rear panel of the DAM614.

RJ-45 Connector Pinout

This cable is used for transmitting control signals for zone selection, as well as for transmitting the audio signal from the gooseneck microphone and the chime melody – when activated. The phantom power required by the MPAGE4 for operation is also supplied via the same cable from the DAM614.

Operation

After connecting the MPAGE4 to the DAM614, announcements can be transmitted as follows:

1. Zone selection for the announcement by:
   • Pressing the desired ZONE 1 to ZONE 4 buttons (3) (their LEDs light up as long as the respective zone is selected)
   • Or the ALL button (4), which selects all 4 zones (its LED lights up as long as the ALL selection is active). The zone buttons have a mechanical latching mechanism (they are latched with the first press and released with a subsequent press).
2. During the voice announcement using the integrated gooseneck microphone, press and hold the PAGE button (1) (button without mechanical latching, "push to talk" type). As long as the button is pressed (announcement), the button's LED (2) lights up.

Note: If the chime melody is activated, wait a few seconds (3-4 seconds) between pressing the PAGE button and the start of the voice announcement so that the voice announcement is not overlaid by the chime melody.

3. If necessary, cancel the selection of individual zones (ZONE 1 to 4) or all zones (ALL) by pressing the respective button again and check that the LEDs are off. If the selection is not canceled, the next announcement will be transmitted to the currently active zones of the previous announcement.

With the DAM614, it is also possible to set permanently selected zones so that they always receive voice messages sent by the MPAGE4 device, regardless of whether they were selected via the buttons or not.

To set this up, set the ZONE switch on the front panel of the DAM614 to the ON position for the desired zone(s) and then press the button for input 6. The corresponding LED will light up blue, indicating that the selected zone has been permanently activated as a PAGER.

Repeat this process for each zone you wish to activate permanently.
