1ZS-2000M Operations Guide
The ZS-2000Mis a broadcasting control device that expands broadcasting zones and supports
multiple sound sources. The ZS-2000M integrates with functions such as the sound source file
storage system, network audio broadcasting system, the loudspeaker zone control system, and the
system for monitoring and diagnosing faults. The ZS-2000M integrates well and is easily
configured.
Mainly describes the basic operations and precautions of the ZS-2000M system.
Powering the ZS-2000M On/Off
The system powers on when the power switch is in the “I” position, and powers off when the switch
is in the “O” position.
When the indicator light for the main or standby power supply on the front panel of the ZS-2000M
turns green, the respective power supply is working normally.
When the power supply indicator light turns orange, the respective power supply has experienced
a fault. Check whether the power supply is connected correctly and that the ZS-2000M power
switch is turned on.
Fault Confirmation
When the system detects a fault, a failure warning tone is heard.
Press the FAULT button to confirm the fault. The warning tone stops, and the fault indicator light
turns orange.
Equipment State Restoration
When the system fault has been identified and fixed, the equipment state needs to be restored.
Press the RESET button to reset the equipment state. All fault indicator lights are restored to their
normal states, and the fault warning tone stops.
System Self-Test
The ZS-2000M self-test function is activated by pressing the TEST button on the front panel.
Operation steps involve the following:
1. Press the TEST button to activate the self-test function for the ZS-2000M and equipment
connected to the system.
All of the indicator lights that display just one color are turned on. All of the lights that can
display two colors switch back and forth between these two colors. The fault indication buzzer
rings continuously.
2. Press the TEST button again to stop the self-test program.
Note:
The self-test function does not affect the normal operation of other functions unrelated to the
self-test function. For example, if the self-test function is initiated during voice broadcasting,
the voice broadcast function is not interrupted and the all indicator lights will flicker.
The system times out in one minute by default. If the self-test function occurs for a
minute without being manually halted, the system automatically stops the self-test function.

3
Zone Selection
A zone is selected by pressing the button that represents the zone. Press the selected zone button
again to deselect the zone.
Press the ALL button on the ZS-2000M front panel to select all zones, and press this button again
to deselect them.
Note:
Only the enabled zones which have been set in the config software are selectable.
Zone state indicator lights have the following meanings:
A solid orange light indicates the zone has been disabled or has short-circuited.
A flickering orange light indicates the zone has an open circuit.
Green light indicates that the system is broadcasting.
Red light indicates the system is broadcasting fire emergency information.
A flickering green light indicates the zone has been selected. When the light is off this
indicates the zone is either not selected or is not in use.
If a zone is selected and no other operation is performed for more than one minute, the zone
indicator light automatically returns to its original state.
Zone Monitoring
The ZS-2000M can monitor sound being broadcast in certain zones. Perform the following steps
to monitor sound being broadcast in particular zones:
1. Press and hold to the MONITOR button until the following step 2 has finished.
2. Select the needed zone to be monitored. The monitoring loudspeaker plays the sound being
broadcast in the selected zone.
The ZS-2000M can only monitor one zone, and the system automatically cancels the previous
zone that has been selected if another zone is selected. Repeat the above operations can
monitor the other zones.
3. Press the MONITOR button again to stop zone monitoring.
Time Delay Cancellation
When the ZS-2000M is performing the time delay task and in the delayed state, the delay indicator
light turns on. If the play task is to be performed immediately, then the time delay needs to be
cancelled by pressing the DELAY button. When the button is pressed, the equipment automatically
initiates playing.
Volume Control
Note:
Note that the No, of the zone button is the power amplifier audio channel No,
The sound volume of the power amplifier channels is adjusted by pressing combinations of buttons
simultaneously, as shown in Table 1.

stop the broadcasts occurring in the zones that are broadcasting the particular sound source.
Manual Emergency Broadcasting
To manually make an emergency broadcast, follow the steps below:
1. The manual emergency broadcasting mode is initiated by pressing the Emergency button.
The equipment will stop the all functions which have nothing to do with the emergency
broadcasting automatically, such as background music broadcasting.
2. Select the zone or zones for the broadcast.

5
Press the Zone button to select a zone or zones. Multiple zones can be selected. To select all
zones, press the ALL button. Indicator lights for selected zones flash green.
3. Select the sound sources.

built-in loudspeaker broadcasts according to the play policy for audition. Press the associated
sound source button again to confirm the sound source to broadcast in the selected zones. If
there are some mistake about sound source, press”CLOSE”to cancel the broadcast
operations.
If the previewing the sound source is unavailable during the configuration, the sound
source will broadcast in the selected zones directly after finish sound source selecting.
5. In this emergency mode, the normal public address (such as background music) is unavailable.
Broadcasting is controlled according to the broadcasting scheme.
6. In the manual emergency mode, if the users want to force some zones to close, just need to
select the corresponding zones and press “CLOSE”.
7. The Emergency button is pressed a second time, the emergency broadcasting mode ends. In
the mode of the manual emergency broadcasting, the system will not respond the fire linkage
signal.

In the normal public address mode, the equipment cannot do the manual emergency broadcasting
operation, but the automatic emergency broadcasting mode will be initiated when the equipment
receive a fire control alarm activation signal. And then the equipment will close all the normal public
address to broadcast the preset emergency sound source automatically.
The fire linkage signal may come from:
ZS-2000M contact input
The fire alarm system interface module that connect with the RS-485 of ZS-2000M
ZS-4328IO contact input in the system
The fire alarm system interface module that connect with the RS-485 of ZS-4328IO in the
system
According to the fire linkage functions which had set in the config software, the indicator in the right
of the zone button will display the linkage input state of that zone: red light indicates evacuation
signal; green light indicates neighbor alert signal.
In the automatic emergency broadcasting state, the system only can perform the preset fire linkage
broadcasting. If want to close the automatic emergency broadcasting, the equipment has to

2ZS-1500/ZS-2250/ZS-4125 Operations Guide
The ZS-1500/ZS-2250/ZS-4125 amplifies audio signal power it receives from audio input devices
to maintain clarity and volume when broadcast over many speakers.
Powering the ZS-1500/ZS-2250/ZS-4125 On/Off
The system powers on when the power switch is in the “I” position, and powers off when the switch
is in the “O” position.
When the indicator light for the main or standby power supply on the front panel of the ZS-
1500/ZS-2250/ZS-4125 turns green, the respective power supply is working normally.
When the power supply indicator light turns orange, the respective power supply has experienced
a fault. Check whether the power supply is connected correctly and that the ZS-1500/ZS-2250/ZS-
4125 power switch is turned on.
Precautions
When using the ZS-1500/ZS-2250/ZS-4125, pay particular attention to the following issues.
Notice:
Make sure all cables are connected properly before turning on the ZS-1500/ZS-2250/ZS-4125.
Pay particular attention to which audio input source is selected and configure the output signal
level appropriately, as this can save electricity.
Do not connect the grounding output cable with the grounding input cable as this causes a short
circuit to occur.
Warning!
Do not alter the circuit board or schematic diagram.
When the CLIP indicator light is flashing red, immediately reduce the audio volume. If peak clipping
occurs for too long, the ZS-1500/ZS-2250/ZS-4125 could be damaged.
If the audio signal or peak clipping signal is too high, the speakers could be damaged.
