1. INTRODUCTION
These instructions describe the installation and operation
of the LCP-102 Level Control Panel, Version 1.0, in an
ADAM™, ADAM™ CS, or Zeus™ Intercom System.
Note that the LCP-102 is not compatible with the
CS9000 Series Intercom Systems. To complete the
configuration of some features, you may need to run your
CSedit, ADAMedit, or Zeus-edit Intercom System
Configuration Software, and you may need to refer to the
documentation for that software.
2. LCP-102 DESCRIPTION
The LCP-102 combines the features of an Analog Trim
Panel, a Camera Delegate Panel, and a Program Assign
Panel in a single frame that is only 2 rack units high. You
can easily switch between its three panel modes and
make rapid configuration changes using the menu
selector on the front panel. In each mode, you can make
up to 64 assignments and then adjust the levels for those
assignments. For example, in TRIMS mode, you can
assign and adjust the analog input and output trims for up
to 64 intercom ports. In PAP mode, you can select the
program input source and set its level for each of 64
IFB's. In CDP mode, you can assign up to 64 intercom
ports to any combination of party lines and then adjust
the listen level for each participant on that party line.
The LCP-102 connects to the auxiliary data port of any
ADAM™, ADAM™ CS, or Zeus™ Intercom System,
and it also has a loop connector for connection to another
auxiliary device, such as another LCP-102, or a UIO-256
Universal Input/Output frame. Since a single LCP-102
provides trim adjustments for 64 ports, only one unit is
required to completely configure an ADAM CS or Zeus
system. For larger ADAM Intercom Systems, up to 15
additional LCP-102 frames can be connected via the loop
connectors.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Location and Mounting
The LCP-102 occupies 2 rack spaces in a standard
19-inch equipment rack or bay, and it is 7.25 inches
(184.2 mm) deep behind the front panel (including the
rear panel connectors). There are no special ventilation
requirements. The LCP-102 should be mounted at or near
operator eye-level when standing or sitting to permit easy
access to the front panel controls and displays.
4.2. Connections
System connections are summarized in Figure 2. Cable
diagrams are shown in Figures 3to 8. Note that when
connecting a UIO-256 Frame along with the LCP-102,
you have a choice of two methods: either using the
LOOP connector of the LCP-102, or using a "Y" cable. If
you have several LCP-102's connected in a chain, you
can connect the UIO-256 to the LOOP connector of the
last LCP-102 in the chain, or you can insert it anywhere
in the chain with a "Y" cable. Whichever configuration
you use, you can also connect three additional UIO-256
Frames to the first UIO-256 in a ring configuration as
illustrated in the UIO-256 Manual.
5. POWER-UP AND INITIAL SETTINGS
5.1. Applying Power
Turn on the power switch on the back of each connected
LCP-102. During a normal power-up the alphanumeric
displays will first show asterisks ( **** ). After a few
moments, some assignments may appear in the displays
above selected keys (depending on whether or not
anything was previously assigned using the intercom
system configuration software). If there are currently no
assignments, the displays will show dashes. If the
LCP-102 that is connected to the intercom system cannot
establish communication with the intercom system, all
LCP-102 displays will continue to show asterisks. In this
case, check the cable from the first LCP-102 to the
intercom system and verify that the intercom system is
operational. If more than one LCP-102 is used, you will
have to set the addresses using the programming menus
as described below.
5.2. Programming Menus
The LCP-102 programming menus are accessed using the
ADDRESS KEY. The menus are summarized in Table 1
The following paragraphs describe the use of the menus.
5.3. Setting the Panel Address
Before programming any assignments, each LCP-102
should be set to a unique panel address as follows:
☞Each programming step should be performed within
about 10 seconds. Otherwise, the LCP-102 will
automatically cancel the procedure.
1. Rotate the ADDRESS KEY to display SERVICE,
then click the key once. DIMMER will appear in the
menu display.
2. Rotate the ADDRESS KEY to display SET ADDR,
then click the control. ADDR 1 will display.
3. For the first LCP-102, select ADDR 1, then click the
ADDRESS KEY. This will store the setting, and all
displays will show asterisks for a few moments.
Then, all displays will show dashes.
4. Double-click the ADDRESS KEY control to exit
programming mode when finished. Otherwise, the
LCP-102 will automatically exit after about 10
seconds.
☞The address setting is retained in the LCP-102
memory when power is removed.
5. Repeat the above steps for any additional LCP-102's,
selecting ADDR 2 for the second LCP-102 and so
forth.
