Front Panel Identication & Operation:
1. 5-pin Microphone Connector
The PM Z6 is supplied with a dedicated gooseneck, condenser microphone. Plug the microphone into
the 5-pin connector on the paging console ensuring correct orientation. Once inserted, the outer lock
ring should be tightened.
2. 10 Segment Output Level Indicator
The paging console features a 10 segment LED VU indicator allowing the user to see a visual indication
of the output when paging or using the chime functions. Should the VU meter show amber or red LEDs,
the gain controls on the rear panel should be adjusted to reduce the output.
3. Zone Selection Buttons
To allow paging or chime to a custom selection of zones, the paging console features six buttons, one
for each of the zone outputs on the amplier. Press to select the desired zone. Conrmation of the
selection can be seen by the LED indicator next to the button illuminating. The zone selection should be
made prior to pressing the TALK button.
Zone Memory Function - If the PM Z6 is powered off with a group of zones selected the PM Z6 will
remember this setting when powered back on.
4. Talk Button
After selecting the required zones either using the individual zone selection buttons or using the All Call
button, the TALK button must be pressed to activate the microphone. The ring around the microphone
will illuminate green when the microphone is active or red when the microphone is muted. After 60
seconds, if no audio is detected, the paging console will mute the microphone automatically.
5. All Call Button
If the user has the requirement to page to all zones, the all call button will activate all zones ready for
paging or chime. The ALL CALL selection should be made prior to pressing the TALK button. When the
ALL CALL is cancelled (by pressing the ALL CALL button a second time) the PM Z6 will revert to the zone
selection set prior to using the ALL CALL.
6. Power Indicator LED
When the paging console is powered on, the power indicator will illuminate blue.
7. Chime Button
The paging console has two built in chimes tones. To activate the chime function, press the CHIME
button and the LED indicator will illuminate amber. When the TALK button is pressed, the chime will
sound.
8. Power Switch
On/Off control for the paging console.

Operating instructions
9. 24V DC Power Input
The paging console may be powered directly from the amplier when the cable length is 40m or less
and high quality CAT5E cable is used. Should the cable length be over 40m, the supplied external mains
adaptor may be used to power the paging console.
10. RS-485 Interface
The paging console operates via RS-485 control protocol over standard CAT5E cabling. Both the
amplier and paging microphones feature two RJ45 sockets to allow for up to 6 microphones to be used
per system. Details of how to congure a multiple microphone system are included on the following
pages in this user manual.
11. Chime Gain Control
The chime function features variable gain to allow the user to set their desired output level. Turn the
level control anti clockwise to the lowest setting, or turn clockwise to adjust to the highest setting.
Adjustments should be made gradually to avoid any sudden changes to the audio output. If the audio
source appears to sound distorted, a reduction in gain may be required.
12. Microphone Gain Control
The microphone features variable gain to allow the user to set their desired output level. Turn the
level control anti clockwise to the lowest setting, or turn clockwise to adjust to the highest setting.
Adjustments should be made gradually to avoid any sudden changes to the audio output and avoid any
potential feedback. If the audio source appears to sound distorted or there is audio feedback (howl
around), a reduction in gain may be required.
13. Master Volume Control
The paging console features a master volume control to allow the user to set their desired, overall
output level for the microphone and chime functions. Turn the level control anti clockwise to the lowest
setting, or turn clockwise to adjust to the highest setting. Adjustments should be made gradually to
avoid any sudden changes to the audio output and avoid any potential feedback. If the audio source
appears to sound distorted or there is audio feedback (howl around), a reduction in gain may be
required.
14. Chime Tone Selector
The chime function may be set to either 2 tone or 4 tone chime. The tone must be preset during initial
setup before powering on the paging console.

Operating instructions
Operation:
System Connection:
The Z6 Series ampliers and paging microphones use RS-485 over CAT5 for audio and control.
The system should be cabled and connected using point to point CAT5, this should not be connected
in any manner to IP based cable network infrastructure.
Cables should be straight wired to either EIA/TIA 568A or EIA/TIA 568B, do not use crossover cables or
mix wiring standards.
Avoid running signal/data cables in the close vicinity of any power cables to prevent data errors.
Power On/Off Procedure
Prior to making any connection to the mains power or audio inputs/outputs, turn all level controls
counter clockwise to the “min” position and all tone (equaliser) controls to the mid (zero) point. Deselect
all monitor and zone selection controls.
Switch on the paging console ahead of powering on the zone amplier and any audio sources (MP3
players, CD players, Microphones etc) before powering the systems amplier ON. The last product to be
switched on should be the power/slave ampliers to prevent any unwanted noise or potential damage to
speakers or ampliers.
Priority Queue
When used as part of a multiple microphone system, the paging consoles operate a priority system to
avoid multiple active microphones on the same system. If the user attempts to page from a console
while another paging console is active, the inactive console’s microphone ring will ash red. The paging
console will then enter a queuing system and once the second paging console has completed paging,
the ashing microphone ring will turn green automatically ready for paging.

www.cleveracoustics.co.uk PM Z6 Paging Microphone User Manual 8
Operating instructions
Multiple Microphone Conguration
The Z6 series ampliers can support up to 6 paging consoles per system. For the paging consoles to
operate correctly each paging console must be assigned a unique ID on the system chain. To assign
an ID, rst ensure the paging console is powered off. While the paging console is powered off, press
and hold one of the six zone buttons and then power on the paging console. The LED indicator next to
the selected zone will ash rapidly before illuminating constantly. This will conrm the ID number of
the paging console. Repeat the process for each paging console, ensuring each paging console on the
system is allocated a different ID.
