LT0114 - FP0539 Paging Console
Operating & Installation Instructions
1. General
The Vigilant FP0539 Paging Console provides up to 30 push buttons and LEDs for controlling voice paging
announcements to zones of a QE20 or QE90 Emergency Warning System (EWS).
2. Operation of the Paging Console
Power LED
Ensure that the POWER LED on the Paging Console is on, and the microphone is plugged into the Paging
Console.
Individual Zone Keys
Individual zone keys may be used for selecting zones for paging from the paging console, selecting zones which
are to receive background music, calling and answering WIP phones, or some keys may be disabled and their
LEDs used for indication of special conditions. Some keys may also be totally unused. The function of the various
keys will be described by the system installer.
To select a zone, press the numbered key of the desired zone once, so that the LED illuminates. More than one
zone may be selected at the same time. To de-select a zone, press the key again so that the LED goes out.
WIP controls, when provided, may be used to call and answer field WIPs. A dedicated WIP phone will need to be
situated beside the paging console to use in conjunction with it. To call a field WIP press the required key. The
corresponding LED will flash with a flash-flash-pause cadence. When the field WIP answers, the LED will become
steady. You may then converse with the field WIP. To cancel the call before it is answered, press the key again.
The LED will go out. When a field WIP calls, the phone at the console (and all ECPs) will ring and the associated
paging console LED will flash continuously. Answer the call by pressing the associated key. Once any call is
connected, it is cancelled by the field WIP hanging up. If the associated key is pressed for a connected call with the
field WIP still off hook, then the field WIP will revert to calling the ECP / Paging Console.
Group Keys
If the zone keys 31 and 32 are not needed as zone keys, then these keys can each be programmed to operate a
group of zones. To carry out this programming, refer to "Setup of the Paging Console" following. Pressing a group
key when its LED is off, will turn on its LED along with the LEDs of all the members of the group. Pressing a group
key, when its LED is on, will turn off its LED and also turn off the LEDs of all the members of the group. Note that
when a group is selected, individual zone keys can still be operated, and also that both group keys can be operated
together.
A group key will not operate if the group has no members programmed.
ALL Keys
The ALL key has two modes of operation. To program the required mode, refer to "Setup of the Paging Console"
following.
Latching Mode
Latching mode is typically used with a microphone which has its own TALK button. The ALL key, pressed
momentarily, turns on all enabled zones.
If required, individual zone keys and the group keys can then be used to turn some zones off. The TALK button on
the microphone or the PTT key must then be pressed to activate the microphone - see section 6 below.
Non-Latching Mode
Non-latching mode is typically used with a microphone which does not have a TALK button. In this mode the ALL
key must be pressed and held down: this selects all valid zones and activates the microphone - it is not necessary
to use the PTT key. Wait approximately 0.5 seconds after pressing ALL for the ACTIVE LED to turn on before

speaking. In this mode, when the ALL key is released any zones which were previously selected will remain
selected.
Clear Key
Press the CLEAR key to deselect all zones.
2.8 PTT (Press To Talk) Key and Active LED
If non-latching mode is selected for the ALL key, it is not necessary to use the PTT key when the ALL key is held
down. Otherwise, the PTT key must be held down to activate the microphone and the amplifiers for the selected
zones. If there is a PTT or TALK button on the microphone, this should be used instead. After operating the key,
you must wait approximately 0.5 seconds for the ACTIVE LED to turn on before speaking.
Note that the ACTIVE LED will also be on if someone else is using the Evacuation Control Panel or any other
Paging Consoles. You should not attempt to operate the Paging Console if the ACTIVE LED is already on.
3. Setup of the Paging Console
3.1 Programming the Group Keys
3.1.1 Entering Programming Keys
Hold the CLEAR, Zone 1, and Zone 2 keys down all at the same time. The Zone 31 (Group 1) LED will begin to
flash. Release the CLEAR, Zone 1 and Zone 2 keys.
3.1.2 Selecting Group 1 or Group 2
The group selected for programming is indicated by the flashing LED, ie Zone 31 for Group 1 and Zone 32 for
Group 2. You can press the Zone 31 or Zone 32 keys at any time to switch to the desired group.
3.1.3 Selecting Zones for a Group
With either group selected, the zones belonging to that group will be identified by their LEDs being on. The
individual Zone keys, ALL key and CLEAR keys can all be used to select or deselect zones as members of the
group.
3.1.4 Exiting Programming Mode
Press the PTT key briefly. The flashing group key will go out, and the programmed group settings will be saved in
non-volatile memory, so that they are retained even if the power to the Paging Console is turned off.
3.2 Programming of ALL Key: Latching or Non-Latching
The ALL key can be programmed to either latch all zones on when it is pressed momentarily, or to be non-latching
and to also carry out the PTT function when it is held down.
You can easily test the current mode of operation by momentarily pressing the key.
To select the other mode, press the CLEAR, Zone 9, and Zone 10 keys all at the same time. All the zone LEDs, 1-
32, will illuminate to verify that the selection has been made. Release the 3 keys. The new setting will be saved in
non-volatile memory, so that it is retained even if the power to the Paging Console is turned off.
3.3 Programming of Keys which are not qualified by PTT.
By default, selected zones are not transmitted to the EWS until PTT is pressed. This is what is required for zones
which are to be used as paging controls. However, some zone keys may be required to perform other immediate
functions on the EWS and cannot be qualified by the PTT key. For example, to select background music.
These keys are selected as follows:
Hold the CLEAR, Zone 3, and Zone 4 keys down all at the same time. The Active LED will begin to flash. Release
the CLEAR, Zone 3, and Zone 4 keys. Select the zones which operate without PTT, so that their LED is ON. Exit
this mode by pressing PTT briefly.
Note that any keys that have been programmed as WIP controls will show in the list of keys not qualified by PTT.
3.4 Programming of Keys which are used for WIP Controls
Hold the CLEAR, Zone 5, and Zone 6 keys down all at the same time. The Active LED will begin a flash-flash-
pause cadence. Release the CLEAR, Zone 5, and Zone 6 keys. Select the keys which are to be used as WIP

controls, so that their LED is ON. Exit this mode by pressing PTT briefly.
3.5 Programming of Keys which are Uncontrollable from the Keyboard
Some keys on the paging console may be used for indication only (with the LED controlled by the EWS). These
zones are selected as follows:
Hold the CLEAR, Zone 7, and Zone 8 keys down all at the same time. The Active LED will begin a flash long pause
cadence. Release the CLEAR, Zone 7, and Zone 8 keys. Select the keys which are to be disabled, so that their
LED is ON. Exit this mode by pressing PTT briefly.
3.6 Volume Control
There is a volume control VR1 located inside the paging console that may be adjusted to control the volume of the
microphone.
4. Connection to QE20
Remove the top cover of the Paging Console to gain access to the connections. There may be wires already
connected to some of the terminals - these would have been used for factory testing and should be removed.
1. Connect the 0V and 24V terminals of the Paging Console PCB to a 24V supply. It may be convenient to use
the QE20. If you do, then install a FP2027 QE20 Fuse Distribution Board on to the selected 27A PSE to provide
a separately fused output. Refer to LT0727 for instructions on fitting the fuse board. If you use an alternative
supply, make sure that the output is isolated from earth (otherwise an earth fault may be generated on the
QE20).
2. Connect the BUS+ and BUS–terminals on the Paging Console PCB to the QE COMMS+ and –terminals on
the QE20 Controller Module. Refer to Drawing 2001-2 Sheet 205. Connect + to + and –to –. Use shielded
cable with the shield earthed at the QE20. Note that on the Paging Console the two BUS+ terminals are
connected together and the two BUS–terminals are connected together, to facilitate daisy chaining of the wiring
to another paging console.
3. Connect the two AUDIO OUT terminals on the Paging Console PCB to the appropriate AUDIO INPUT x + and –
terminals on the QE20. Refer to the QE20 site configuration to determine which audio input to use. Refer to
Drawing 2001-2 Sheet 205 for wiring information. Use shielded cable with the shield earthed at the QE20, and
connected at the other end to the Paging Console chassis.
4. Note that if a second Paging Console is being connected, its AUDIO OUT terminals should be wired to the REM
SPCH IN terminals of the first Paging Console. The power and communications can be connected to the QE20
as above, or daisy-chained from the first Paging Console. Refer to Drawing 2001-2 Sheet 205.
5. Set the address dipswitch inside the Paging Console to correspond to the paging console number assigned into
the QE20 Site Configuration. The first paging console needs to be Address 0, and so on.
6. If desired, you can remove the top cover plate of the Paging Console and attach zone labels which are visible
through the mylar film.
7. If a gooseneck microphone (SU0168) is to be used, fit the bracket and microphone socket provided to the

centre rear of the paging console using the screws provided. Plug the DIN plug into the microphone DIN socket
on the rear of the paging console. Plug the microphone into its socket.
8. Adjust the paging volume, if necessary, using VR1 inside the paging console or the Audio Input volume setting
in the QE20 site configuration.
5. Connection to QE90
Remove the top cover of the Paging Console to gain access to the connections. There may be wires already
connected to some of the terminals - these would have been used for factory testing and should be removed.
1. Connect the 0V and 24V terminals on the Paging Console PCB to a 24V supply. It may be convenient to use
the QE90 supply - if you do, install a 2 Amp in-line fuse at the QE90 in the +24Volt lead. If you use an
alternative supply, make sure the output is isolated from earth.
2. Connect the BUS+ and BUS–terminals on the Paging Console PCB to the QE90 SIGNALS INTERFACE
MODULE : EVAC BUS1 terminals on the SE9004 or MEXP9103, or COMMS BUS terminals on the SPIF9506
or SPIF9709. Connect + to + and –to –. Use shielded cable with the shield earthed at the QE90. To comply
with AS 1670.4 this cable should be fire rated. Note that the two BUS+ terminals are connected together and
the two BUS–terminals are connected together on the paging console PCB, to facilitate daisy chaining of the
wiring to another paging console.
3. Connect the two AUDIO OUT terminals on the Paging Console PCB to the PABX- and PABX+ terminals on the
QE90 SIGNALS INTERFACE MODULE - SPIF9506, SPIF9709, SE9004, or MEXP9103. Use shielded cable
with the shield earthed at the QE90, and connected at the other end to the Paging Console chassis.
4. Note that if a second Paging Console is being installed, its AUDIO OUT terminals should be wired to the REM
SPCH IN terminals of the first Paging Console. The power and communications can be connected to the QE90
as above, or daisy-chained from the first Paging Console. Refer to Chapter 10 of LT0088 “QE90 Installation and
Commissioning Manual”.
5. Set the address dipswitch inside the Paging Console to correspond to the paging console number assigned into
the QE90 Site Configuration. The first paging console needs to be Address 0, and so on.
6. If desired, you can remove the top cover plate of the Paging Console and attach zone labels which are visible
through the mylar film.
7. If a gooseneck microphone (SU0168) is to be used, fit the bracket and microphone socket provided to the
centre rear of the paging console using the screws provided. Plug the DIN plug into the microphone DIN socket
on the rear of the paging console. Plug the microphone into its socket.
8. Install new software in the QE90 panel if this is an upgrade to an existing system.
9. Adjust the paging volume, if necessary, using VR1 inside the paging console or the PABX control on each
EMUX9002 / EMUX9601 board in the QE90 panel.
