System overview
The PROMATRIX 8000 system includes the DPC 8015 call station and the DPC 8120 call
station extension. The call station is equipped with a goose neck microphone, and has 15
customizable selection and function buttons and five pre-programmed menu/function buttons.
Up to three alarm buttons or key switches can also be retrofitted. The call station is equipped
with an illuminated LC display (122 x 32 pixels). The call station has the following features:
• Microphone with preamplifier and compressor/limiter switch
• Function and selection buttons with programmable button assignment
• Simple labeling of buttons with labeling strips and format template (file in .doc format
included in the IRIS-Net scope of delivery)
• Possible to install covered alarm buttons or key switches (optional, three installation
slots)
• Possible to connect an external microphone or audio source
• Built-in loudspeaker
• High-resolution LC display
• Comprehensive parameter settings menu on the actual call station
• Microphone and line monitoring
• Error message via LED and buzzer, and error text in the LC display
• Processor control of all functions
• Monitoring of the processor system via watchdog circuit
• Non-volatile FLASH memory for configuration data
The call station is processor-controlled, and equipped with extensive monitoring functions. A
watchdog circuit is built in to monitor the processor system. The internal microphone can be
monitored for function, interruptions, and short-circuits. Line monitoring for the CAN bus and
for audio transmission allows line interruptions and short-circuits to be detected and
indicated to the user. The call stations for the PROMATRIX 8000 system can be configured
quickly and easily using IRIS-Net. A graphical and conversational user interface allows the user
to define all button functions, priorities, options, and other properties.

Warning!
If several call stations need to be operated via a DPM 8016, each call station must be as-
signed a unique CAN address (1–16). Subsequently changing the CAN address causes the
configuration to change.
Button labeling
The call station buttons are labeled using labeling strips, which are inserted from above. To
label a row of buttons, loosen the respective cover on the left-hand side using a suitable
slotted screwdriver. Insert the labeled strip into the open label field, and close the label field
by evenly pressing down on the cover.
Retrofit options
The DPC 8015 call station can be retrofitted with a maximum of three covered buttons (EB
DPC, item F01U101089) or key switches (NRS90231, item F01U101000). Additional control
elements can be used, for example for triggering alarms in certain areas (selection alarm) or
for switching the system ON/OFF. The functions are assigned via IRIS-Net during
configuration.
Alarm button (EB DPC)
The EB DPC is an optional button for installation in the DPC 8000 series call stations. The
transparent cover cap prevents unintentional actuation of the button. A high-efficiency LED is
integrated for optical visualization, while also ensuring maximum operational reliability. The
button feed lines are monitored by the call station. If an error occurs, this is indicated in the
error log of the PROMATRIX 8000 system.

Assembly
Note the following information regarding installation of the EB DPC in the DPC 8015 call
station.
1. Disconnect the call station from all connectors
2. Unscrew the call station baseplate (4 screws)
3. Unplug the connecting cable from the CN1 plug connector
4. Prepare installation location: Use a sharp object (knife, scriber, or similar) to carefully
punch through and cut out the pre-cut rectangle on the inside of the housing. Perform
any follow-up work that may be required to the installation location (e.g. filing, trimming)
5. Mount the button into the installation location, and press in evenly (it must be possible
for the cover cap to open upward)
6. Depending on whether the right/middle/left installation location is used, plug the ribbon
cable into plug connector CN201/CN202/CN203 on the circuit board
7. Plug the connecting cable into CN1 again
8. Re-attach the call station baseplate
9. Re-connect the connections
10. Configure the button using the software
Key switch (NRS 90231)
The NRS 90231 is an optional key switch for installation in the DPC 8000 series call stations.
The key switch feed lines are monitored by the control station. If an error occurs, this is
indicated in the error log of the PROMATRIX 8000 system.

Activation
PCA BUS interface
i
Notice!
If the call station is connected to a DPM 8016 via the PCA BUS, the call station is automatical-
ly configured depending on the set CAN address. The call station is ready to use after a few
seconds.
The cable for connecting the PCA BUS interface must be fed under the suspension bracket
(see the following diagram).
Figure 6.1: PCA BUS interface
Interface description
The PROMATRIX CAN Audio (PCA) BUS interface is used to connect the DPC 8015 call station
with a PROMATRIX 8000 system. This is an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that assigns the power
supply, control interface (CAN bus), and audio interface. The call station must be connected
to the respective wall-mount socket via the enclosed network cable (3 m). The following image
shows the assignment of the PCA BUS socket and the corresponding RJ-45 connector.

Notice!
For CAN, AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT, the wires must be twisted as pairs in each case.

Usage as audio input
The LINE interface allows an external audio device (e.g. CD player) to be connected. If
configured in IRIS-Net, the audio source connected to this interface can be used for a program
in the PROMATRIX 8000 system. The following diagram shows the assignment of a stereo jack
plug (3.5 mm, "mini jack") for connection to the LINE socket.

Use as PTT contact input
When connecting a PTT microphone to a DPC 8015, the LINE interface is used as input for the
PTT contact. The PTT function must be set for the call station in IRIS-Net during configuration.
The following diagram shows the corresponding assignment of a stereo jack plug (3.5 mm,
"mini jack").

Configuration
The call stations of a PROMATRIX 8000 system should be configured on the control panel via a
PC using IRIS-Net as this is the simplest method, and there are no restrictions. Only limited
programming is possible on the actual call stations themselves. To configure the call station
via the LC display, the call station must be switched to menu mode as described below.
Use in menu mode
In menu mode, the call station and certain elements of the PROMATRIX 8000 system can be
configured via the built-in LC display. In this mode, certain buttons have a different function
than they would in announcement mode. The alternative assignment is specified on the lower
right of the respective button.
1. Press the ↓ button, keep it held down, and press the ↑ button at the same time. The
display switches from announcement mode to menu mode
2. Use the call station buttons to navigate through the menu and enter settings. The
following pages contain information about the menu structure
3. To exit the menu, keep pressing the ESC button until the status display of the
announcement mode appears in the LC display.
