Safe Handling of CMOS Integrated Circuit Devices
Many of the integrated circuit devices used in communications equipment are of the Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) type. Because of their high open circuit impedance, CMOS
integrated circuits are vulnerable to damage from static charges. Care must be taken handling, shipping,
and servicing them and the assemblies in which they are used.
Even though protection devices are provided in CMOS integrated circuit inputs, the protection is effective
only against overvoltage in the hundreds of volts range such as is encountered in an operating system. In
a system, circuit elements distribute static charges and load the CMOS circuits, decreasing the chance of
damage. However, CMOS circuits can be damaged by improper handling of the modules, even in a
system.
To avoid damage to circuits, observe the following handling, shipping, and servicing precautions:
1. Prior to and while servicing a circuit module, particularly after moving within the service area,
momentarily touch both hands to a bare metal, earth-grounded surface. This will discharge any static
charge that may have accumulated on the person doing the servicing.
NOTE:Wearing a conductive wrist strap will minimize static build-up during servicing.
2. Whenever possible, avoid touching any electrically conductive parts of the circuit module with your
hands.
3. Power down the unit before installing or removing the circuit module.
4. When servicing a circuit module, avoid carpeted areas, dry environments, and certain types of
clothing (silk, nylon, etc.) because they contribute to static build-up. Similarly, disconnect the test
probe prior to removing the ground lead.
5. All electrically powered test equipment should be grounded. Apply the ground lead from the test
equipment to the circuit module before connecting the test probe.
6. If a circuit module is removed from the system, it is desirable to lay it on a conductive surface (such
as a sheet of aluminum foil) which is connected to ground through 100k of resistance.
7. When soldering, be sure the soldering iron is grounded and has a grounded tip.
8. Prior to connecting jumpers, replacing circuit components, or touching CMOS pins (if this becomes
necessary in the replacement of an integrated circuit device), be sure to discharge any static build-up
as described in procedure 1. Since voltage differences can exist across the human body, it is
recommended that only one hand be used if it is necessary to touch pins on the CMOS device and
associated board wiring.
9. When replacing a CMOS integrated circuit device, leave the device in its conductive rail container or
conductive foam until it is to be inserted into the printed circuit module.
10. All low impedance test equipment (such as pulse generators, etc.) should be connected to CMOS
device inputs after power is applied to the CMOS circuitry. Similarly, such low impedance
equipment should be disconnected before power is turned off.
11. Replacement modules shipped separately from the factory will be packaged in a conductive material.
Any modules being transported from one area to another should be wrapped in a similar material
(aluminum foil may be used). Never use non-conductive material for packaging these modules.

Introduction
The GAI-Tronics Model 13352, 13362 and 13372
Addressable Amplified Speaker Assemblies are designed
for remote paging in temporary or permanent applications
such as public gatherings, construction sites, or amusement
parks.
Model 13352 accepts a 600-ohm, 0-dBm signal from a
telephone page port or paging adapter using two telephone
wire pairs: one pair for audio and the other for contact
closure access. This configuration provides one-way
paging using existing telephone wiring with local 12 V dc
power.
Model 13362 and Model 13372 incorporate VHF and UHF
(respectively) to provide wireless, one-way paging from a
few feet to many miles away depending on the terrain, the
antenna system, and the transmitting device.
These speakers can be added to an existing radio system
with minimal cost or effort. With local 12 V dc or
battery/solar power, reliable public address paging is
possible from a portable, mobile, or base radio.
Each of the wireless speaker assemblies can be programmed for individual, group (zone), or system-wide
access via DTMF or 2-Tone coding with up to eight different access codes. The volume of each speaker
can be programmed via the XAC1000A CARD Suite software or controlled remotely via DTMF code.
There are also termination provisions for a remote, hard-wired L-pad volume control. Each unit can be
bench-programmed prior to installation, thus limiting field installation time.
All of the models can operate in a Generic or a Selective broadcast mode of operation through the use of a
preprogrammed access code. In the Generic mode, the speaker assembly broadcasts all system
communications received on the 600-ohm input or the programmed (licensed) RF frequency and PL code
(if used). In the Selective mode, only communications preceded with the speaker’s preprogrammed
access codes are broadcast.

Functional Description
Each Addressable Amplified Speaker is capable of two different modes of operation; Generic Operation
and Selective Operation.
Generic Operation
While in the “off” state or sleep mode, the speaker assembly detects the presence of a page closure
(Model 13352) or carrier-detect (Models 13362/13372) and becomes activated. Any audio that is being
transmitted is now broadcast over the loudspeaker while the page closure is present. After a
preprogrammed amount of time after the page closure (Model 13352) or carrier-detect (Model
13362/13372) is no longer present, the speaker assembly returns to the “off” state. Each speaker is
factory-programmed for this mode of operation (default).
NOTE:The speaker can be programmed via the XAC1000A CARD Suite software to provide receive
capability at all times. In this mode, the speaker should be connected to a constant external 12 V dc
power supply. The speaker “on” state can be overridden by the shutdown closure input, which returns the
unit to its “off” state. This can be used in areas where an all-page command is given but the speaker local
to the page location is turned off to reduce feedback. The “shutdown” closure input could be from a
handset hookswitch, relay, or other similar device.
Selective Operation
Selective Operation allows addressable access to each speaker using DTMF or 2-Tone signaling. Either
“DTMF” or “2-Tone” must be selected via the CARD Suite programming software.
While in the “off” state, the speaker assembly detects the presence of a page closure (Model 13352) or
carrier-detect (Models 13362/13372) and becomes activated. The speaker assembly waits for the
preprogrammed code to enable the speaker amplifier. If the correct code is detected, the speaker
assembly determines if it is an audio message or an audio level adjustment command.
•If it is an audio message, the speaker assembly is energized and the audio is transmitted to the speaker
output.
•If it is an audio level adjustment command, the speaker assembly is energized and a test tone is
transmitted to the speaker output. After a preprogrammed amount of time without the page closure
(Model 13352) or carrier-detect (Model 13362/13372) being present, the assembly returns to sleep
mode.
During either DTMF or 2-Tone operation, the speaker assembly recognizes one to eight codes that can be
used for unit activation. The first code is used for individual paging, and is the only code used for remote
volume adjustments (DTMF only). Any of the other seven codes can be used for zone or all paging
functionality.
DTMF Signaling
In this operating mode, the speaker assembly detects preprogrammed DTMF tones in this operating mode.
The protocol for the DTMF symbol stream during this operation is the programmed digit length (1-8
digits) followed by a “#” DTMF symbol. The DTMF symbol stream cannot include the “*” or “#” in its
identification string. The DTMF code is programmed via the CARD Suite software application. If the
code is blank, the unit will not have this operating functionality.

2-Tone Signaling
In this operating mode, the speaker assembly detects preprogrammed 2-Tone signaling codes. The 2-
Tone protocol is one frequency followed by a second frequency, and is programmed via the CARD Suite
software application. If the 2-Tone code is blank, the unit will not have this operating functionality.
Volume Adjustments
The speaker assembly volume can be adjusted by two methods: remote volume adjustment and optional
local volume adjustment. The default volume level is programmed through the CARD Suite software
package.
Remote Volume Adjustment
The remote volume adjustment is performed through the use of DTMF control only. The speaker
receives the audio level from the DTMF signal and delivers a 1-kHz signal to the speaker output
corresponding to the volume level defined. The PTT of the transmitting device (radio, remote controller,
etc.) must be activated during the volume adjustment process.
The protocol for initiating remote volume control is: the speaker’s individual identification access code,
followed by a “#” to activate the unit, and then an “*” to enter the test tone mode.
After the “*”, a test tone is generated for a time period that is preprogrammed via Card Suite. During the
test tone, the volume level can be changed by increasing or decreasing the setting by one step. Press “*”
to increase or “#” to decrease, without entering the assembly identification code.
If the unit receives another DTMF code that is not “*’ or “#” (or no input) during the test tone, the
assembly stores the value in memory and returns to sleep mode. This stored level is used as a reference
for incoming audio signals and the appropriate gain required in the automatic gain control (AGC) circuit
for stable output volume level.
Local Volume Adjustment
Local Volume Adjustment is available through the use of an L-pad connected to the speaker output
(Model 12506-001). No test tone is generated during this adjustment, and the user must generate audio
for this test while adjusting the L-pad.
This is a passive adjustment. The maximum output level is defined by the CARD Suite program or by
Remote Volume Adjustment. The Local Volume Adjustment can only adjust the output level lower than
the maximum programmed level.
