Features

The Bogen Model PCMCPU is the microprocessor module for the Bogen PCM Zone Paging System, PCM2000. One module is required per system (up to three PCMZPM zone modules). The PCMCPU module provides power, data and audio connections for the PCM system.

The PCMCPU module is connected to other PCM modules electrically through internal cables. Modules are mechanically joined by sliding together interlocking tabs and securing with a screw on the rear panel. The system is designed to be wall-mounted with the modules side by side like books, oriented so that when the blue connector blocks are on the bottom, the PCMTIM is far left, the PCMCOU isfirst from left and the (first) PCMZPM module is on the right.

The PCMCPU module includes a set of dip switches that set the SYStem ID, a POWER LED, a PROGRAM/RUN switch, a DATA LINK RCA jack (used to connect to satellite systems), power in jack/terminals, and audio connections for PA, low power BGM, high power BGM, emergency/shift change trigger and auxiliary contacts.


PCM-2000 System

Minimum system configuration consists of three modules: PCMCPU, PCM-TIM, and PCM-ZPM. To this, you can add up two additional PCMZPM modules and/or talk back module (PCMTBM). If more than 9 zones are required, satellite systems can be added to bring total capacity to 99 zones. The PCM-2000 system provides the following features and functions:


Voice Channel:

• Zone Paging & sub zone group paging (up to 32 zone groups, each with up to 99 zones)
• Override paging (using loop start or contact closure)
• Talk back paging (centrally-amplified zone only)
• High powered central paging
• Low power distributed paging
• Privacy beep on talk back zones
• Pre-announce tone

Background Music:

• Low-power distributed (buffered for up to 50 amplified speakers)
• High-power, using dedicated BGM amplifier
• High-power using a single paging/BGM amplifer
• BGM disable to individual zones
• Local BGM input on each individual zone module

Signalling Channel:

• Night ringer (90V or contact closure activation)
• Code calling (2 types - echo & pattern)
• Emergency/shift change tone (tone and duration selectable)

Other Features:

• DTMF setting of all operating parameters
• Run/Program switch
• External C-form contacts
• Relay driver output per zone
• Nonvolatile memory for setup data (no backup battery required)
• Talk/Talk back selection per zone
• Setup tone to assist in volume setting, etc

Specialized Features:

• Specialized modules provide time-triggered signalling
• Talk back paging
