1. INTRODUCTION
The Australian Monitor Installation Series DigiPageJr is a two rack unit multizone paging and
source selection system that offers unprecedented flexibility for multizone paging & source
routing applications. Four program inputs are available to each of eight zone outputs. The
DigiPageJr is also expandable to 16 zones via a simple link cable to a second unit. Paging
stations are available in 8 zone and 16 Zone models allowing paging into any individual
zone, any combination of zones or All Call. There is also the ability to have one Paging Station
as a priority paging station. The Paging stations connect via an inexpensive and industry
standard CAT5 cable network. An overall priority input is also provided for emergency or
evacuation signals. The DigiPageJr is powered by an (included) external plug-pack power
supply or via 24VDC. The DigiPageJr is a versatile and well featured product that provides a
simple solution to the complex applications of multizone paging and source routing.
We thank you for choosing Australian Monitor Installation Series and as with all our products,
the DigiPageJr offers clever features and is contractor friendly.

The controls detailed below (1-6) apply to each output zone, as indicated by
ZONE 1 .. ZONE 8 on the front panel.
This series of program switches (PROG 1- PROG 4) allows any one of the connected
program sources to be switched to this zone. Note that these are mechanically
interlocking switches: only one program may be selected at a time. Program inputs may
be mic or line, see Back Panel on page 8.
2 MASTER 1-8:
This control adjusts the overall output level of the zone.
3 TREBLE
The treble control has 10dB of cut or boost at 10kHz. The treble control affects the entire
zone.
4 BASS
The bass control has 12dB of cut or boost at 100Hz. The bass control affects the entire
zone.
5 PROG
This control adjusts the overall level of the selected program source into the zone.
6PAGE
This control adjusts the paging mic level into the zone.
1 PROG 1-4:
NOTE: To balance the differing levels of each program input, the program trim
controls on the Back Panel should be used (see Back Panel and Setup
sections)

Located at the right-hand end of the unit, these controls affect all zones.
7 PAGE ENABLE
This switch allows the zone to be included in or isolated from the paging function. You may
want to do this when a zone is an area such as a function room that occasionally may
need to be isolated from paging.
8ON
This LED indicates there is power to the unit.
9 POWER
This switches power from the power supply (included ).

NOTE: When 24VDC emergency power is supplied, the unit is on regardless of
the switch position.
NOTE: When 24VDC emergency power is supplied this LED will always be on.

3 EUROBLOCK CONNECTOR
24V DC / GROUND
This input pair is for connection to a 24VDC
emergency power supply and is not switched by
the front panel power switch.
ALERT/EVAC/COMMON
These connections are used to trigger the
internal tones. Only one tone can be triggered
at a time. Triggering occurs by connecting the
ALERT or EVAC terminal to COMMON.
GROUND/SUM IN
This is an unbalanced line level input which may
be used for emergency priority signals. It feeds
all zone outputs independent of output level
settings and page enable status.
SUM INPUT LEVEL
This recessed trimpot sets the level of the sum input.
TONE GEN OUTPUT LEVEL
This recessed trim pot controls the output level of the
tones and the pre-annouce chime.
4a CAT 5 RUN 1
This RJ45 input accepts the CAT5 cable coming from the priority paging microphone
station. See ‘Installation’ on page 12 for more information. If you would like to have a
paging station set as a priority over all other paging stations, then it must be connected to
this RJ45 socket and no other stations may use this connector or the run that it is on. The
paging station also needs to be set up as a priority station (see Paging Station section).
4b CAT 5 RUN 2-4
These RJ45 inputs accept the CAT5 cables coming from the Paging Stations. See page
12 for more information.
NOTE: Theseare NOT Ethernet connections.

NOTE: Connecting and disconnecting these inputs while the unit is on may
cause the unit to lock up requiring system power to be cycled.

NOTE: The 24V DC input does not provide a
trickle-charge facility.
NOTE: Signal on the SUM IN will cause other signals
to be muted.
NOTE: The muting by the SUM IN remains active
for 30sec after the input signal is removed.

5 PROG LINKS
These RJ45 sockets allow linking of the program sources when using a Master/Slave
configuration. (see ‘Linking Section’ on page 18)
6 DATA LINK
This socket is used to link two units in a Master/Slave configuration. (see ‘Linking Section’ on
page 18)
7 MASTER/SLAVE
This switch is used when linking 2 units in Master/Slave configuration. (see ‘Linking Section’
on page 18)
8 POWER IN VAC
This 2.1mm power socket accepts the 20VAC power supply provided with the unit.
