The BVRDTSM is equipped with 2 Audio Outputs OP1 and OP2.
OP1 is used for Live paging broadcasts. OP2 can be configured
for either;
Figure Marked as Function
B All Call / Park Factory Fit Option
All Call: Set on microphones with All Call Bypass button
Park: Set on microphones without All Call Bypass button
C Dual OP / BGM Default: BGM
Dual OP: Microphone audio routed out of OP1 and OP2
BGM: AUX Audio routed out of OP2
See section 2.2 for more details
NOTE: * If park is selected "Protocol Faults (BVRD2M MB
F/W 2.00 and above)" must be also be disabled in the
configuration. This enables compatability with legacy
systems
Figure Marked as Function
A Test / Park Default: Park
Factory use only
B 3V3 / Park* Default: Park
Park: Hardware Bypass Access Level = 10V
3V3: Hardwired Bypass Access Level = 3V3
NOTE: * Option label on underside of PCB. Hardwired
Bypass Access Level must match connected BVRD2M or
BVRD2M4 configured level. See manuals for these products
for more details.

BVRDTSM Touchscreen Microphone issue 1 7
• AUX Output (broadcast of microphone stored none
emergency messages or routing of local background music
connection)
• Dual Output (OP1 and OP2 carry live paging broadcasts for
dual redundant systems)
See Hardware Configuration section for more details on how to
change the Audio Output Configuration.
n order to simplify cabling requirements by default the
BVRDTSM also carries the AUX Output on OP1. This means
that the microphone can be installed using a single CAT6A cable.
f a Hard Wired Bypass is fitted to the microphone (factory fit
option) then the AUX Output is not available on OP1 so therefore
OP2 must also be connected.
Please see the following sections for details of site connections
and hardware configuration for all Audio Output options.
