The Bogen PCM2000 is a modular telephone zone paging and
control system. By integrating unique, multi-function modules,
the PCM2000 offers both incredible flexibility and capability for
future expansion.
The Bogen PCM2000 Zone Paging System is designed for
direct connection to loop start and ground start trunks, to PBX
or KEY paging ports which supply DTMF capability, and to ana-
log T/R lines.The unit allows total system amplifier power of up
to 250W.
The PCM2000 is a fully-integrated zone paging and signaling
system with an extensive list of features:
• Simultaneous high- & low-power paging
• Zone and zone group paging (32 paging zone groups, each
with up to 99 zones)
• Built-in talkback amplification (requires PCMTBM module)
• Background music assigned per zone
• Local BGM sourcing capability
• Night ringer zone group
• Emergency zone group with choice of built-in tones or
outside tone source
• Emergency all-facility page override
• Eight daily time-triggered signaling events (requires
PCMTBM module)
• Pattern & echo code calling
• Daily master clock synchronization
• Relay driver per zone
• Auxiliary contacts
The PCM2000 allows for the design of a system that is specifi-
cally tailored to the requirements of the facility owner. The
basic system supports up to three paging zones and consists of
only three modules:
PCMCPU – Central processor
PCMTIM
–
Telephone interface
PCMZPM – Zone module (3 zones)
The PCMCPU module includes a set of DIP switches to set the
system ID, a Program/Run switch that allows system program-
ming, a Power jack for 12V DC power, and audio connections
for central amplifier, low-power BGM, high-power BGM, emer-
gency/shift change trigger, and auxiliary trigger.
The PCMTIM telephone interface module incorporates a uni-
versal interface so that connection to any telephone system is
rapid and trouble-free.The module connects to the telephone
system via a standard RJ11 plug and is programmed simply by
using common DIP switches.All other connections are made to
built-in terminal blocks using only a small screwdriver.
Setup is also easy. Zone group programming, selection of all sig-
naling functions, and all other parameters are set by simply dial-
ing in with a touch-tone telephone.
The telephone interface module is equipped with three RJ11
jacks for Night Ring, Tel Line, and Override. The NIGHT
RINGER feature can be activated from 90V ring signal or con-
tact closure.The TEL LINE jack can be used to program the sys-
tem locally and provides 48V talk battery.The OVERRIDE fea-
ture permits all-zone override paging from a dedicated tele-
phone, trunk, or microphone (with suitable pre-amp).
The PCMZPM – zone paging module can operate high-power
or low-power paging systems (only one type per PCMZPM
module). For high-power paging, a single amplifier can be used
for paging and supplying background music (when not paging).
Background music can also be continuously supplied to all
zones not being paged with the addition of a second amplifier.
For low-power operation, background music is always supplied
to zones not being paged. Each module can also be discon-
nected from the background music bus and connected to a
local background music source.
Two additional zone modules can be added to the basic system
to increase capacity to 9 zones.When more than 9 zones are
required, a central processor module with power supply and up
to 3 zone modules can be assembled as a satellite system.Ten
additional 9-zone satellite systems can be installed to bring
total capacity to 99 zones.
A talkback module (PCMTBM) can also be added to the system
to provide hands-free talkback capability. Only one talkback
module is required regardless of the number of zones or satel-
lite systems on the PCM2000 system.
Relay driver outputs are provided for each zone. Two C-form
contact sets are also provided to control the activation of
accessory equipment.
