PD2800 gets better in this version while offering the same flexibility in installation and operation. 108 zones
can be stored under 9 groups of 12 zones each and 9 priority levels can be set at the paging console.
Cablings had been simplified further with lesser restrictions as compared with previous version. Learn more on
configurations from this manual.
Each package is supplied with EX2800 External Connection unit ( Version 2 ), 24V DC adaptor and 1m Cat5e
cable. The decoding shall be performed at TD6240 ( Version 3 ) only.

9. Chime and Mic Volume Control
Individual volume for chime and microphone output level can be adjusted according to site requirement.
10. Output Connection
This RJ45 connection shall connect to EX2800 with the cable provided. Power supply to the unit is fed via EX2800.
11. Data / Audio Output to Decoder
Data and audio are linked to TD6240 decoder unit using 2pair screen cable. Please refer to “Connecting the Unit” for
detailed connection diagram.
12. Data/Audio Input Link / DC Supply
Data and audio from other EX2800 ( if any ) are fed to this port forming a circuit. This connection is applicable only if
multipoint paging setup is established. Use a DC24V power adaptor supplied for powering the unit.

Connecting to MatrixMix MxP2188
Since that MxP2188 MatriMix system is capable to cater for larger quantity of zones ( 8 input to 128 outputs ), PD2800
has to be used as the paging mic for the system. More than one PD2800 can be installed.
There is some minor difference when using PD2800 in Matrix environment as compared with the conventional one :
- EX2800 shall be replaced by EX1102 ( if more than one PD2800 is installed )
- Direct connection to MxP2188 if only one PD2800 and one Matrix is used.
- Power directly from MxP2188 ( length do not exceed 100 m )
- MS1103 to be used if more than one Matrix controller is installed.

A successful paging can only be achieve if TD6240 is connected, without it would be incomplete installation. Initial
setup such as priority level should be set.
PD2400 can be linked to TD6240 for zone decoding, or used in MatriMix system for matrix installations.
Follow the simple steps below to begin paging
1. DIRECT ZONE PAGING
Direct zone paging is when
the user select the required
zone and press CHIME +
TALK button.
Achime shall be broadcasted
followed by illuminated ring
at the gooseneck mic.
To end paging, simply press
the CHIME + TALK button
again which would be
followed by a downward
chime.
Example :
Performing a paging to
zone 1 and 15.
Press button “1”
Press button “ADD”
Press button “1” and “5”
Press “CHIME + TALK”
Talk when the LED ring at the mic
is lit and to end,
press “CHIME + TALK”
2. ALL CALL PAGING
To maka an ALL CALL
paging, simple press the
“ALL CALL” button, without
having to press “CHIME +
TALK ” button.
Paging mic is ready for
announcement once the LED
ring is lit.
To end paging, simply press
the “ALL CALL” button again.
In ALL CALL paging, all
normal zones shall be
activated. This is however,
would not energise 24V DC
overriding supply to override
volume controllers. To enable
overriding, we recommend
the usage of EP1200.
Example :
Making call to all normal
zones ( not overriding
external volume control-
lers ).
Press “ALL CALL”
Talk when the LED ring at the mic
is lit and to end,
press “ALL CALL”
