CHAPTER 1
Introduction and Installation
NOTICE: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid electric shock do not perform any
servicing other than that contained in the Operating Instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
ADAM CS Front Panel
There are 10 card slots in the front panel. Starting from the left side, slots 1 through 8 are for Audio Input/Output (AIO) Cards.
Slots 9 and 10 are for main and backup Master Controller Cards.
The two large bays at the right side of the front panel contain main and backup power supplies. These power supplies are
mounted in shuttles which may be pulled out for quick access/replacement. The power supplies are designed for automatic
switch-over in the event of a power supply failure. There is an audible alarm for indication of power supply failure. An alarm
override switch lets the user turn off the audible alarm after notification, allowing the affected power supply to be replaced at a
later time.
ADAM CS Back Panel
There are two fused AC Power connectors with ON/OFF switches. The AC1 connector porvides power to the PS1 power
supply. The AC2 connector provides power to the PS2 power supply.
Four AC-powered fans along the top of the back panel provide cooling for the power supplies and circuit cards. Either AC ON/
OFF switch will activate the cooling fans and the associated power supply.
The bottom half of the back panel is reserved for the connector panel. Three styles of connector panels are available, offering a
choice of intercom port connectors:
RJ-11, 9-pin male D-sub, or 50-pin Telco. At the left side of the connector panel are four additional connectors:
J900 DE-9S female) connector for RS232 connection to a personal computer.
J901 DE-9S Connector for RS485/232 connection to an RTS Trunking System
J902 DE-9S Connector for RS485/232 connection of Program Assign Panels, LCP-102 Level
Control Panels, and UIO-256 Universal Input/Output Frames
J903 DB-25S (female) connector for general purpose interface. Provides eight, open-collector
digital inputs and eight relay outputs.

Introduction and Installation

ADAM CS Frame Installation
The ADAM CS Frame is equipped with rubber feet for placement on a desktop. For installation in an equipment rack, it may
be necessary to remove the feet. Verify that the ventilation holes on the front and back are not obstructed. Allow space in back
for attachment of connectors (at least 24 inches).
Circuit Cards
Card Installation and Removal
READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLING CIRCUIT CARDS!
The connector pins on the back plane inside the ADAM CS frame can be easily damage by improper or hurried insertion of
circuit cards. Always use the folllowing procedure when installing cards:
1. Insert the card edges into the upper and lower card guides in the frame.
2. SLOWLY push the card straight back into the slot until intitial resistance is felt.
3. When initial resistance is felt, apply slightly more pressure to begin engaging the connector pins.
4. Once the connector pins have started to engage press FIRMLY to completely seat the connectors. When the card is
properly seated, the card plate on the front of the card should be flush with the front of the ADAM CS frame, and the
ejector levers on the card plate should be in the horizontal position.
To remove a card, press down on the lower ejector lever and up on the upper ejector lever. Once the card is released from the
back plane connector, pull it straitght out of the frame.
Cards should be secured in the frame at top and bottom with the screws provided. Otherwise, vibration of the frame could
cause the cards to loosen over time.
NOTE: All ADAM CS circuit cards can be removed or installed while the equipment is operating. This permits continuous
operation of the intercom system, with no interruptions, in the event of any card failure.
Unused Card Slots
To ensure proper air flow, each unused front card slot should be fitted with a card blank (p/n 9000-7467-003) to cover the
opening.
Card Reset and Fail Indication
Each circuit card is equipped with a reset switch located near the top-front of the card. Directly under the reset switch is a red
fail indicator. The fail indicator remains off during normal operation. If the fail indicator turns on, first attempt to restor normal
operaton by moentarily pressing the reset button. Allow 15 to 30 seconds for reset. If the fail indicator does not turn off after
this time, check that the card is properly seated, or replace the affected card.
Audio I/O Card Notes
•When an Audio I/O card is removed during normal operation, the displays on any keypanels connected to that card will
display asterisks instead of the normal key assignments. After a card is reinstalled, it may take a few moments for the
keypanel displays to return to normal.
•All system clock signals are derived from the Audio Input/Output Card in slot number 5, with the clock backup provided
by slot number 4. Therefore, if your intercom system uses fewer than eight AIO cards, make sure that slots 4 and 5 are
filled with a card. Also, never remove cards 4 and 5 at the same time, as the intercom system will cease to operate.

Power Supply Removal /Installation
Master Controller Notes
•As shipped from the factory, all master controller card DIP switches are set for default operation. These settings will be
satisfactory for most applications. Optional settings are summarized in Table 2, “ADAM CS Master Controller Card DIP
Switch Settings (S1),” on page 19. If you change any settings, make sure both the main and backup master controller cards
are set the same.
Power Supply Removal /Installation
To install a power supply, insert the metal flanges on the top and bottom of the shuttle into the upper and lower guides in the
frame. Push the shuttle into the slot until it is firmly seated. Tighten the captive screws.
AC Power Connection
1. Place the AC switches on the back panel of the ADAM CS frame in the OFF (O) position.
2. Place the power supply on/off switch on the front of each power supply in the OFF (o) position.
3. Connect the AC power to both of the AC jacks on the back of the ADAM Frame. Connecting both AC inputs will insure
continued operation of the ADAM CS Frame in the event that one power supply fails. If desired, two separate AC power
phases may be connected. This will protect not only against a power supply failure, but also against a loss of power to one
phase.

CHAPTER 2
Operation
System Power Up
NOTE: For proper power supply loading, at least two circuit cards should be installed in the frame before turning on the
power supplies.
1. Place the AC switches on the back of the ADAM CS Frame in the ON position.
The AC fans should turn on.
2. Place the ALARM OVERRIDE switch on the front panel in the center position.
3. Place the on/off switch on the front of each power supply in the ON position.
The POWER indicators and all the voltage indicators should be lit.
While the intercom system is initializing, the red fail indicators will be lit on all circuit cards. Allow 15 to 30 seconds for all
fail indicators to turn off.
NOTE: If the system fails to initialize, make sure that all circuit cards, especially the cards in slots 4 and 5, are properly seated.
Alarm Operation
If there is a power supply fault during operation, an audible alarm will sound and one or more indicator lights on the affected
power supply will turn off. To deactivate the alarm, set the ALARM OVERRIDE switch to the position for the affected supply.
Turn off the defective supply, and repair or replace it as soon as possible to ensure continued backup protection in the event of
another power supply failute.
NOTE: The power supply alarm will also sound if a power supply is not turned on. This is normal. Either turn on the power
supply, or set the ALARM OVERRIDE switch.
Computer Connection
Connect from J900 on the ADAM CS Frame to COM1 or COM2of the configuration PC (the default for AZedit is COM1).
The interconnect cable is null modem cable, the wiring is shown in Figure 3 on page 13.

Operation

Software Installation
Now that the ADAM CS frame is operating and the configuration computer is connected, you are ready to install the AZedit
software and verify the computer can communicate with the intercom system. Follow the directions to install the software that
accompanied the AZedit CD.
AZedit gives you online help after starting the software. When the keypanel setup screen appears (the default setup screen),
press F1 to start help, then select “Help Contents”. When the “Contents” screen appears, select “General Procedure to
Configure the Intercom System”.
Once the software is installed, you can begin connecting intercom stations and other devices to the intercom system as
described in the following paragraphs.
Intercom Port Connections
General Information
Each intercom port uses two wires for audio input, two wires for audio output, and two wires for data. Depending on the type
of device being connected, some pairs of wires may not be used.
The audio input and output wires typically provide the talk and listen connections for an intercom station, but other types of
audio devices could also be connected.
For example, a program source could be connected to the audio input wires, and in this case the audio output wires would be
available for other uses.
The data wires are used to send and receive control information between the connected device and the Master Controller in the
ADAM CS frame. The data wires are only used by keypanels, by the TIF Telephone Interface, and by the CDP-950 Camera
Delegate Panel. The type of data transmitted includes key pressed information and display information. For example, when a
key is pressed on a keypanel, this information is sent on the data wires to the ADAM CS frame. The Master Controller in the
ADAM CS frame then routes the audio to the proper destination as defined in the intercom system’s configuration program.
The Master Controller also sends data to the device being called; for example, to display the caller’s name at a keypanel, or to
activate a telephone line at the TIF Telephone Interface, etc.
Logical Keypanel Address Numbers
Even though there are separate data pins for each intercom port, these pins do not actually represent a unique data port. Rather,
groups of intercom ports share a common data port. In an ADAM CS intercom system, data groups consist of 8 intercom ports,
and each Audio Input/Output Card represents 1 data group. To distinguish between data devices connected to the same data
group, a logical keypanel address number (1-8) is assigned to each device at the time of connection. The relationship between
intercom port numbers, Audio I/O card numbers and logical keypanel address numbers is shown in Table 3 on page 20.
Specific information about setting logical keypanel address numbers is discussed in the installation notes on the following
pages.
General Procedure for Connecting Devices to Intercom Ports
The following is a suggested method for connecting devices to intercom port:
1. Make a copy of the appropriate planning worksheet. For ADAM CS frames that use RJ-11 or DE-9 back panels, use
Table 8 on page 23. For ADAM CS frames that use a 50-pin telco back panel, use Table 9 on page 25.
2. For each device that will be connected, fill in a row on the worksheet:

9
Trunking System
•Briefly note the device type (keypanel, TIF, program source, CDP-950, etc.). Other useful information might
include the device location and usage, as well as any labeling on the intercom cable.
•Write down a name of up to eight characters in the “Alpha” column of the worksheet. You will enter this
name inot the intercom system later using AZedit. Then, whenever you assign the port to an intercom key,
the name will appear in the keypanel display for that key.
•If the intercom system uses optional trunking (where two or more intercom system are interconnected and
users can intercommunicate using special equipment) you may wire a second name in the “Alias” column of
the work sheet, if desired. An alias may be useful, for example, to prevent confusion when the same alpha
name is already being used by two intercom ports located in separate intercom systems. When one of these
ports in one intercom system is assigned to a keypanel key in the other intercom system, the alias name, and
not the alpha name will appear in the display.
NOTE: In AZedit, you can enter Alias names at the same time as you enter Alpha names. If you do not enter an Alias name,
AZedit will automatically use the Alpha name as the default.
By default, AZedit is not configured for turnking operation. If you want to enter Alias names and use trunking with AZedit,
you must enable trunking.
WARNING: Enabling trunking will erase the system setup and erase all data. SAVE your file set before enabling trunking.
To enable trunking, do the following:
a.From the Options menu, select Preferences, and then Advanced page.
b. On the Advanced page, select Enable Trunking Support.
Once you have made this change, you will be able to enter alias names in AZedit.
3. Connect devices to the intercom ports as noted in the worksheet. For each type of device, refer to any installation notes
included on the following pages. Or, refer to the installation information supplied with the device. The ADAM CS frame
with a 50-pin Telco back panel can be connected to any of the folliwng breakout formats:
punch blocks
jack fields
XCP-954-618
XCP-955
4. Using AZedit, enter the Alpha and Alias names that you recorded in your worksheets. Click the “Port Alpha” button on the
toolbar, then press the F1 key on the computer to get help, if necessary.
5. Complete the intercom system configuration, as described in the AZedit software help, under “General Procedure to
Configure the Intercom System”.
Trunking System
General Theory of Operation
In a trunking system, the audio lines (not data) of one or more intercom ports are interconnected between two separate
intercom systems. The system administrator in each intercom system then places restrictions on these ports to prohibit them
from being assigned to any keys. This reserves the port for exclusive use as trunking lines. A special data link is also connected
from each intercom system to the trunking system for exchange of system control signals. Once the interconnections are
completed, the tunking system is programmed in TrunkEdit.
After the trunking system has been programmed, system administrators or keypanel users in each intercom system may
request lists of persons, party lines, etc. from the other intercom systems for purposes of key assignment just as they would in
their own intercom system. After keys are assigned, keypanel operators can activate them to talk or listen, just like in their own

Operation
10
intercom system. There is no apparent difference to keypanel operators, but what actually occurs in the system electronics is
slightly different.
When a keypanel operator activates a key to talk to a destination located in another intercom system, the intercom system’s
master controller does not act itself to close any crosspoints, but rather, it sends this information to the trunking system via the
data connection. The trunking system master controller then checks for an available trunk line. If one is available it notifies the
master controllers in the affected intercom systems to establish the communication path using the trunk line that it specifies. If
no trunk lines are available, the trunking system will notify the master controller in the caller’s intercom system, which will
then send a “busy” signal to the calling keypanel.
If more than two intercom systems are interconnected, additional trunk lines must be reserved and interconnected between the
systems. However, it is not always necessary that two intercom systems be reserved and interconnected as long as there is a
path somewhere to connect the two systems. The trunking system can be programmed to permit “cascaded” trunking in which
a pathway is established through multiple intercom systems to connect two endpoints.
UIO-256 Input/Output Frame
General Description
Each UIO-256 provides 16 GPI inputs and 16 GPI outputs. The GPI inputs can be used just like keypanel keys to activate
intercom ports, party lines, relays, etc. Each relay output provides a choice of normal open and normal closed contacts. The
relays can be assigned for activation from keypanel keys, and can be used to control lighting, or to key remote transmitters,
paging systems, etc.
General Theory of Operation
The UIO-256 exchanges control signals with the intercom system via an RS-485 data connection. Each UIO-256 also has a
data output and input connector pair for connection of additional UIO-256 frames. Up to three additional UIO-256 frames may
be interconnected with a token ring configuration, where the data output of one frame is connected to the data input of the
next. The last UIO-256’s data output line is connected back to the data input of the first UIO-256. DIP Switches at each UIO-
256 are set so that each frame controls a unique range of GPI inputs and GPI outputs. Up to 15 UIO-256 Frames may be
interconnected using multi-drop configuration. Please note that the multi-drop configuration requires version 2 of the UIO-256
firmware.
For more information on the UIO-256, see the UIO-256 User Manual.
GPI inputs are connected via a 50-pin telco connector on the back of the UIO-256. Each input requires +5 to +18 VDC for
activation. The positive input and common connections may be provided from a remote source. Or +18 VDC is supplied at the
connector by the UIO-256 and may be used for input activation, with the user supplying the external switch.
UIO-256 Connection
One UIO-256
1. Connect J2 of the UIO-256 to J902 of the ADAM CS. The interconnect cable should be wired as shown in Figure 8 on
page 16. If a program assign panel is also being used, it may be wired to the same connector as show in Figure 8.
2. Set the SW-1 DIP switches on the back of the UIO-256 to select range 1-16 as shown in Table 6 on page 21. The SW2 DIP
switches are not used and their positions do not matter.
3. For a pin-out of the relay connector, refer to Table 5 on page 21. For a pin-out of the opto-isolator connector, refer to
Table 6 on page 21.
4. Connect AC power to the UIO-256.

11
UIO-256 Input/Output Frame
Additonal UIO-256s
1. Up to 15 additional UIO-256 frames may be connected in a parallel bus configuration using the 15-pin ribbon cables
provided. Connect the J3 output of the ADAM MC to the J2 connection on the UIO-256. Connect J2 output of the first UIO-
256 to the input for the second UIO-256 to the J2 input of the third UIO-256. Continue connecting more UIO-256s in this
manner.
2. Set SW1 DIP switches on each UIO-256 to select a unique panel number as summarized in Table 5 on page 21.
3. Connect the opto-isolator outputs and relay inputs as for the first UIO-256.
NOTE: The first eight inputs and outputs of the first UIO-256 operate in parallel with J903 on the back panel of the ADAM CS.
