Item Indicator/Control Description
Power On
LED (green) Lit if the unit is receiving DC power.
Voice Alarm
LED (red)
Lit to indicate that a Voice Alarm condition is present in the PA/VA
system.
SYSTEM System Fault
LED (yellow)
Lit to indicate that a system fault has been detected in the PA/VA
system.
A system fault will always cause the “fault” LED to be lit as well. It is
triggered by a failure of any processor or memory, critical to the Voice
Alarm system.
Fault
LED (yellow)
Lit to indicate that a fault has been detected in the PA/VA system.
Flashes if a fault has not yet been accepted.

• Fast menu scrolling: clockwise or anti-clockwise strokes
• In Emergency Mode with Fault menu selected, touching in the centre clears all faults
reported at the connected PA/VA System and sets all connected equipment to the
“no faults” state, which also cancels any amplifier changeovers in effect. Any
persistent faults will be reported again on the next monitoring cycle.

3.3 Recommended Installation Procedure
!
!
Please read and observe the safety information guidelines available on the product and in Section
“6 Safety and Precautions” (page 23) prior to installation. Failure to follow these guidelines may cause
personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
3.3.1 Desktop Installation Procedure
1. Connect the installation wiring to the wall socket connector(s) to suit the installation requirements of
the specific location.
Refer to Section “4 Connections” (page 18) for connection details.
2. Insert the completed button identification label into the label slot as required; see Figure 2 (page 9).
Figure 2 Fitting the zone identification label
1) Remove the label protection cover by pressing in
on the plastic clip and lifting the cover off.
2) Fit the zone identification label into the slot.
3) Fit the label protection cover back in place.
(MPS10 shown as example)
3. If not fitted, fit the gooseneck or fist microphone to the microphone case; see Figure 3 (page 9).
Figure 3 Fitting the microphone to the microphone base
1) Connect the flying lead(s) from the
gooseneck (or fist) microphone to
the appropriate connector(s) on the
lead(s) coming out of the
microphone base.
(Gooseneck microphone shown as example)
2) Carefully insert the microphone holder into the
hole on the microphone case.
3) Twist the microphone holder clockwise until the
screw hole is aligned with the fixing hole on the
microphone case.
4) Secure the microphone using the M3 hex screw
(15 mm) and Allen key (2.5 mm) provided.
4. Remove the bottom cover by undoing 2 x M4 screws (Pan Head Pozidriv, 15 mm length), and
configure the microphone as required; see Figure 16 (page 17).

MPS-Series – Installation Guide
U-0664-0174.doc – Issue: 07 complete, approved
Page 10 of 24
5. Ensure that the power supply from the central equipment rack or PoE is turned off.
6. Connect the field cabling from the wall socket to the microphone as required; see Figure 17 (page 18).
7. If used, connect the external audio/music input and/or the speaker/headset audio output, and the
contact input and/or output; see Figure 17 (page 18).
8. Route the cables through the cable strain relief guides at the bottom of the microphone and re-fit the
cover; see Figure 17 (page 18).
Note that a dedicated cable strain relief guide is provided for the audio input/output cables. The
contact input/output cables can use the standard cable strain relief guides if required.
!
!
If the MPS microphone is to be used as an Emergency Microphone, ensure that the unit’s IP30
rating is preserved by:
• fitting any unused 3.5 mm jacks with an anti-dust cap plug (supplied) and
• fitting any unused large cable strain relief guides with a blanking sponge cord (supplied).
9. If a gooseneck microphone is used, fit the foam windshield to the microphone capsule housing; see
Figure 4 (page 10).
Figure 4 Fitting the foam windshield
Microphone capsule housing
without foam windshield

with foam windshield fitted
10. If the MPS microphone is to be used as an Emergency Microphone, place the supplied pictogram
label adjacent to the microphone; see example in Figure 5 (page 10).
Figure 5 Example of pictogram label
!
!
BS5839-8 requires the pictogram label to be placed so
that it is clearly visible to any person operating the
microphone.
11. The installation is now complete and ready for system commissioning.
