1. INTRODUCTION
Microphone desk and voice alarm fireman’s panel with CAN Bus communications for COMPACT Systems.
As a microphone console, it allows the user to send live messages and repetitions to predetermined zones. As a voice alarm panel
allows the remote activation of warning and evacuation messages housed in the COMPACT matrix, as well as to launch live an-
nouncements, to a group of preset zones.
Access to the emergency mode is protected by a key switch.
Principal characteristics:
Activation of emergency mode by key.
WARNING Message activation button.
EVACUATION Message activation button.
Emergency mode exit button.
Dynamic microphone.
Communication with the COMPACT audio matrix via CAN
bus.

cation signals.
Warning and Evacuation pre-recorded messages housed
in the COMPACT unit.
Announcements with or without a pre-announcement
tone and final tone (Gong).
3 or 4 tones configurable Gong.
Repeat Key, for repetition of the last live voice message.

(1) Microphone
(2) EMERGENCY LED. Lights up when the emergency mode is
activated from the desk or from any other element of the
system. The LED remains illuminated while the system is in
Emergency Mode.
(3) Lock and Key to access the EMERGENCY MODE. Switches
to Emergency Mode. If activated, the LOGGED LED lights up
and the WARNING, EVACUATION and RESET emergency
buttons become operative.
After 60 seconds without any operation from the desk (this
time can be modified by the Call Point software), the LOGGED
LED goes off and the emergency buttons of the microphone
desk are no longer operative, being necessary to activate the
key again to operate with the microphone desk.
Includes two keys.
(4) WARNING push-button. Activate the warning message.
Incorporates a push-button ON indicator light.
(5) EVACUATION push-button. Activates the evacuation
message. Incorporates a push-button ON indicator light.
(6) RESET push-button. End Emergency Mode.
(7) REPEAT Key. Key for repeating the last live voice message
that was sent.
(8) TALK Key. Is used to send live voice announcements. It
must remain pressed while talking.
(9) GONG+TALK Key. Is used to send live voice
announcement preceded by a gong. It must remain pressed
while talking.

(10) GENERIC FAULT indicator. System alarm indicator.
(11) LOGGED LED. Indicates that the Emergency Mode
has been activated from the microphone desk itself through
the emergency key. The system is in emergency mode and
the microphone desk buttons are operative.
(12) CPU FAULT LED. Indicates internal error of the
application.
(13) POWER LED. Indicates that power is applied to the
paging desk.
(14) LOCAL FAULT LED. Indicates microphone capsule error
or communication error with audio matrix.
(15) TALK / REPEAT LED. Illuminates when TALK or
GONG+TALK is pressed, indicating that you can begin
speaking. When the REPEAT key is pressed, it indicates that
the repeat message is playing.
(16) GONG LED. When illuminated, it indicates that the
paging desk is generating the GONG.
(17) BUSY LED. When lit, it indicates that the system is busy.
(18) MIC LEVEL LEDs. They indicate the audio level of the
microphone or the repeat message that is playing. The LED
marked as Peak indicates that the signal is saturated. This LED
should never light up.

(1) Ground connection.
(2) Power supply fuse (0.5A).
(3) 24 VDC Power supply input (see section 5.1.).
(4) Configuration DIP switches (see section 4).
DIP switch 1. RJ45 SHLD-GND LINK. Allows separating the PIN
8 and the shield of the RJ45 connectors from the ME-200C
internal ground (GND).
DIP switches 2 and 3. BUS CAN END. Configure DIP switches
2 and 3 to indicate the position on the CAN bus occupied by
the ME-200C (end element or intermediate element). If the
microphone desk is the final bus element, set these DIP
switches to ON position. If it is an intermediate element, set
them OFF.
DIP switches 5, 6, 7 and 8. CAN ADDRESS. The microphone
desk communicates with the COMPACT system through a
CAN bus. Each ME-200C connected to the CAN bus must have
a different communication address. These DIP switches allow
you to assign this address.
(5) INPUT and (6) OUTPUT connectors.
RJ45 Connectors. They are used to connect the equipment to
the COMPACT system. They transmit and receive the audio
and CAN data signals.
To connect them follow the section 5.2. Audio and CAN bus
connection.
The combination of the INPUT and OUTPUT connectors allow
the connection of several ME-200C microphone desks (up to
a maximum of 16) forming a BUS between elements. See
section 5.2.2. CAN Bus and audio connection between several
ME-200C.

4. CONFIGURATION
Use the DIP switches on the back of the microphone to configure it:
DIP switch 1. RJ45 SHLD-GND LINK. Allows separating the PIN 8 and the shield of the RJ45 connectors from the ME-200C internal
ground (GND).
DIP switches 2 and 3. BUS CAN END. Configure DIP switches 2 and 3 to indicate the position on the CAN bus occupied by the ME-
200C (end element or intermediate element). If the microphone desk is the final bus element, set these DIP switches to ON. If it is
an intermediate element, set them OFF.
DIP switch 4. No used.
DIP switches 5, 6, 7 and 8. CAN ADDRESS. The microphone desk communicates with the COMPACT system through a CAN bus.
Each ME-200C connected to the CAN bus must have a different communication address. Assign an address between 0 and 15.

5.1.Power supply
The microphone desk should be powered at 24VDC through the DC IN 24V terminal strip on the back plate.
5.2.Audio and CAN bus connection
Through the RJ45 INPUT and OUTPUT connectors, the console transmits and receives CAN communication and audio signals to the
COMPACT system. For connection use RJ45 connectors with metal housing and STP CAT 5 cable.

5.2.1. CAN Bus and audio connection between ME-200C and COMPACT unit
Figure 5 shows the most common connection
between an ME-200C and the COMPACT audio
matrix with the UMX-EA3 input card. To facilitate
the connection it is recommended to use an
Optimus Z-52A patch panel or similar.
5.2.2. CAN Bus and audio connection between several ME-200C
Use the INPUT and OUTPUT connectors to connect
various (up to a maximum of 16), forming a BUS
between elements.

5.2.3. Connection between ME-200C and COMPACT-E expansion unit
The CAN communication speed of the ME-200C is 33.3
kbit/s. For installation with COMPACT-E expansion units
with a communication speed of 500 kbit/s, a CAN-AV
speed adapter (code A465AV) must be inserted in the
bus to match the transmission speed between devices.
The attached table shows the transmission speed of the
equipments:
To connect an ME-200C to the COMPACT-E follow
