1 2 3 5 1 2 3 2 1 4 English 11 The ControlSpace AMS-8 Local Input Module allows to use the central sound system for sound sources that can be plugged in locally, e.g. a CD player, a microphone or a laptop for a presentation or movie. The level of the microphone gain can be adjusted. 1. AUDIO INPUT (RCA) – Input Left and Right for a local audio source input 2. MICROPHONE INPUT (XLR) – Input socket for a local microphone 3. MICROPHONE GAIN ADJUSTER – Adjuster to adjust the gain Turn the adjuster anti clockwise to decrease the gain with a minimum of 32dB. Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the gain to a max of 66dB. The factory gain setting is 38dB. If one uses the audio and the microphone input, both signals will be audible. The CS-LIM can be configured so the inputs are available in all rooms or only in the specific room where it is installed. 3.3 ControlSpace™ AMS-8 Local Input Module (CS-LIM) 3. System control 3.4 ControlSpace™ AMS-8 Paging Panel (CS-PP) 1. ROOM SELECTION BUTTONS – By pressing a room button one selects a specific room or zone (group of zones) for paging. The indicator (led) next to the button lights up green when it is selected. Room blocking: By pressing a room button for 2 seconds, the indicator next to it will light up red. This means this room is now blocked for paging. Press the same button again for 2 seconds to release the ‘block’ situation. 2. MESSAGE BUTTONS – One can page a pre-recorded message by first selecting the required room(s) followed by pressing the appropriate message button. To stop a playing message, one should press the same message button again. The paging function still has a higher priority: during a pre-recorded message anouncement the microphone can be used to override this message. This function is only available if the optional message storage card is installed and pre-recorded messages are stored on this card. 3. SELECT ALL BUTTON – By pressing the ‘select all’ button all rooms are selected (except the blocked rooms). 4. DESELECT ALL BUTTON – By pressing the ‘deselect all’ button all rooms are deselected. 5. TALK BUTTON – After pressing the talk button the indicator just above this button lights up red, at the same time a chime signal is activated and routed the selected rooms. As soon as this indicator turns green one can page a live spoken message, as long as the button is pressed. Releasing this button will stop the paging.
