PRIORITY
If a priority command is present (or VOX), the music source can be either included in the mixed
signal sent to the amplifier or excluded, according to dip-switch no.1 setting (see 21: the 8 dip-
switch group).
During a priority command ('PRIOR' LED turns on), only the audio signal of the channel with priority
(and the music, if turned on) is sent to the amplifier (and the PRE OUT output).
i
The music source is always excluded from the signal sent to the amplifier when the CHIME
SEQUENTIAL COMMAND is activated.
The priority mode and the VOX function are set through the dip-switches no.2 and no.3 of the 8 dip-
switch group (see 21):
DIP 2 DIP 3
...
INTERLOCKED
PRIO
GRADUATED
INPUT 1 PRIOR.
PRIO
GRADUATED
INPUT 2 PRIOR.
i
The dip-switch no.2 (8 dip-switch group) allows you to switch the priority level between the
channels 1 and 2. This setting does not work in the interlocked priority mode.
As soon as a priority event ends, the initial state will be restored (the channels 1, 2, 3, 4 and the
selected music source will be mixed together, unless another priority event is in progress).
"CHIME SEQUENTIAL COMMAND"
The CHIME SEQUENTIAL COMMAND either makes the chime (short or long, depending on the
dip-switch no.7 setting, see 21) be continuously repeated or starts the alarm tone (option set by the
dip-switch no.8, see 21). This command has the highest priority level and always removes the music
from the signal sent to the amplifier.
MODE
Only the first priority command of channels 1÷4 (and also
channel 1 VOX, if enabled through the dip-switch no.4) is
accepted.
Any other priority command will not be accepted until the
INTERLOCKED previous is removed.
Note: the only event that can always be activated later
(and override a previous priority) is the CHIME
SEQUENTIAL COMMAND.
A priority command having a higher level can override the
previous one. The priority levels are:
1. (highest) CHIME SEQUENTIAL COMMAND
GRADUATED
2. channel 1 (including VOX)
PRIORITY 1
3. channel 2
4. channel 3
5. channel 4
A priority command having a higher level can override the
previous one. The priority levels are:
1. (highest) CHIME SEQUENTIAL COMMAND
GRADUATED
2. channel 2
PRIORITY 2
3. channel 1 (including VOX)
4. channel 3
5. channel 4
