Amperes iEP1202 User manual

Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.
iEP1202 is a desktop version of Emergency Paging Mic which has added features as compared to the rack mounted iEP1200. It
can be placed at FCC, or Security / Guard House where direct access to PA is more convenient and faster. Similar to iEP1200 or
EP1200, it has highest priority over other audio sources such as BGM or normal paging.
There are 8 zone groupings that can be programmed, with each button to consist of one or many zones, eg, Button 1 to consist of
all zones in Building A. This is useful when it is only required to target certain building or zones for the emergency broadcast. Also
available are 4 preset messages that can be uploaded to the unit during setup. All the settings shall be done via web browser with

Key Configuration
One of the most crucial part of iEP1202 setup is in this page. i.e. to assign the serving zone (s) to the Zone Group keys and assign
media to Message keys.
Programmable Zone Group Keys
To assign several zones to a key, select “CUSTOM” and enter the zone number e.g. 1,2,10 - 15. If we select “CUSTOM” but not
enter any zones, no zone will be called during paging.
To assign the key as ALL CALL, just select “ALL CALL”, by default each key is assigned as ALL CALL.
Click “Save” upon completion of setup.
During paging a specific group of zones, just select desired group key then activate the mic to talk and broadcast the message to
the zones. Activate the mic without prior select a group key will broadcast the paging to all zones.
Message Keys
To assign a media to a message key make sure the media file is already uploaded to Message Library (refer to Message Library
section). Click the “Message” pull-down menu to select the media.
There are 3 modes to repeat a message playing;
None
Indefinitely
Count
Click “Save” upon completion of setup.
Message playing is broadcasted to all zones. To switch from say, key 1 message to key 2 message, please press key 1 to stop the
playing first then press key 2 to activate key 2 message. Activate siren or the handheld mic will also stop a message playing.
- Only play once
- Keep repeating until user stop the playing.
- E.g. If set to 1, message will be played twice.
