Thank you

for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.

After much improvements made to the earlier models, Amperes ZS5062 and ZS5122 finally rolled out with better features and outlooks.

The original features of emergency paging microphone input port and remote triggering are maintained. However a priority overtaking LED is added to the front panel to alert the user that paging from remote is active and thus the

BGM zone selected has been bypassed.

With this new product, you are assured that we live up to our policy, ie. continuous improvement to give you the products that are contemporary and with better value without increment in cost.

Although it is not difficult to install this unit, a brief reading of the manual is truly recommended to avoid any misconnection as well as to explore the potential usage of the product to its maximum.

1. BGM ZONE OVERRIDING INDICATOR

The LED shall lit if remote paging microphone is active and is overriding the local BGM zone selection. This is active if Amperes PM 1060 paging is used or any other paging microphone console with Priority output signal.

2. ALL CALL SWITCH

All zones will be activated by pressing this switch, regardless of any inactive zone.

3. FRONT PANEL ZONE SWITCHES - ZONE 1 TO 6

Switching for zone 1 to 6.

4. FRONT PANEL ZONE SWITCHES - ZONE 6 TO 12

Switching for zone 7 to 12 for ZS5122 only.

5. DC SUPPLY INPUT PORT

24V DC supply is required to operate this unit. Ensure polarity is correctly terminated to the port. It is recommended that supply with 1A rating of regulated source is used. Amperes PS9400 is recommended as a DC supply source to your installation.

6. EMERGENCY OVERRIDE TERMINAL

External switch ( eg. fr emergency paging mic with dry contact ) can be connected here, which shall trigger the built in relay when pressed. This shall then provide a dry contact in which would enable the installer to apply several functions such as providing 24V DC output for volume controller overriding purpose, trigger external device or link to BAS system, etc.

7. RS485 DATA PORT

RS485 data port is used to interface with other Amperes products, to enable simpler cabling or interconnection works. Alternatively, it can be linked to PC for firmware upgrade. A USB-RS485 converter shall be required for this purpose.

Please refer to section ‘ Firmware Upgrading’ to perform the Firmware update process.

8. UNIT ADDRESS DIP SWITCH

When it is required to be linked to Amperes PMX II software for monitoring purpose, the unit / units are required to be addressed. Binary code addressing is used in setting the unit’s ID.

9. REMOTE SELECT PORT - Z1 TO 6

This is to connect to remote paging mic ( PM series ) or Data Decoder ( TD Series ) for remote zone triggering.

Upon triggering the zone via this port, it shall override the locally selected zones. External triggering switches or other mades of paging microphone can utilise this facility provided -ve triggering method is used.

10. AMPLIFIER - ZONE OUTPUT CONNECTORS (ZONE 1 TO 6)

Outputs from amplifiers are connected to these terminals and speaker zoning is configured to the respective unit of amplifier. The user has the flexibility to configure the zoning system as each zone comes with single amplifier output connection.

Please observe polarity when terminating the amplifier / speaker zones and ensure that each zone is overloaded ( less than 500 W rms ).

11. REMOTE SELECT PORT - Z7 TO 12

Similiar function as Part 9 but only available for ZS5122.

12. AMPLIFIER - ZONE OUTPUT CONNECTORS (ZONE 7 TO 12)

Outputs from amplifiers are connected to these terminals and speaker zoning is configured to the respective unit of amplifier. The user has the flexibility to configure the zoning system as each zone comes with single amplifier output connection.

Please observe polarity when terminating the amplifier / speaker zones and ensure that each zone is overloaded ( less than 500 W rms ).

The sample connections shown are using a single unit of either ZS5122 or ZS5062 in a small scale installation. ie. small number of zone outputs.

Assumptions made are that :

1. Volume control overriding facilities are done separately. ( refer example on page 6)

2. Paging or background music is transmitted only

to the zone selected. (Not uninterrupted

paging system )

3. Power amplifier unit 1 is to serve zone 1 and 2

The diagram above shows an installation of a 2 zone system with remote triggering employing external switches. ( this is optional ). In this case, zone triggering can be made from remote location.

Note : Triggering any zone via the remote port shall override the previously selected zones. No Priority connection is required.

24 DC

POWER AMP 1 POWER AMP 2

The illustration below shows a zone selector connected to the Amperes PM1120 desktop paging microphone. This shall provide a better zone selection than the above configuration.

Two way zone selection can be done, either from the PM1120 or via the front panel switches of the zone selector, with PM1120 has a priority over the former.

Example :

With front panel switches 1 and 2 active, and the user wishes to page zone 3 only, activation of zone 3 from PM1120 shall override zone 1 and 2.

Upon releasing zone 3 from PM1120, zone 1 and

2 shall then return to its previous state.

More than often, volume controllers are installed at areas that require sound level to be attenuated, eg. conference room, etc.

Overriding is required when an emergency switch is pressed, normally via firemen paging mic with a dry contact.

With the connection shown, whenever the switch is pressed, it would trigger the internal relay which shall then provide a dry contact. It can be used to trigger overriding relay at volume controller or other external device such as emergency light indicator. It can also be used to trigger ALL CALL.

Please ensure the loading does not exceed the limits as indicated. Polarity must also be observed when connecting this port.

ALL CALL paging can be performed from Emergency

Paging Mic ( EP1200A ), which when Relay Trigger port is energised, it shall provide a voltage free relay contact. Connect 24V

DC power supply from PSU to trigger external volume controllers for Overriding purpose.

When multiple ZS are used, link the Relay Trig ports together, thus any triggering from

EP1200A shall perform ALL

CALL paging to all zones at all the zone selectors.

Note :

Pressing ALL CALL at individual zone selector shall only trigger all zones at the unit, without triggering the relay output ; ie. this shall not override the volume controllers
