PCM2000 Modular Zone Paging System

The Bogen PCM2000 is a modular telephone zone paging and control system. By integrating unique, multi-function modules, the PCM2000 offers both incredible flexibility and capability for future expansion.

The Bogen PCM2000 Zone Paging System is designed for direct connection to loop start and ground start trunks, to PBX or KEY paging ports which supply DTMF capability, and to analog T/R lines. The unit allows total system amplifier power of up to 250W.

The PCM2000 is a fully-integrated zone paging and signaling system with an extensive list of features:

• Simultaneous high- & low-power paging
• Zone and zone group paging (32 paging zone groups, each with up to 99 zones)
• Built-in talkback amplification (requires PCMTBM module)
• Background music assigned per zone
• Local BGM sourcing capability
• Night ringer zone group
• Emergency zone group with choice of built-in tones or outside tone source
• Emergency all-facility page override
• Eight daily time-triggered signaling events (requires PCMTBM module)
• Pattern & echo code calling
• Daily master clock synchronization
• Relay driver per zone
• Auxiliary contacts

The PCM2000 allows for the design of a system that is specifically tailored to the requirements of the facility owner. The basic system supports up to three paging zones and consists of only three modules:

• PCMCPU – Central processor
• PCMTIM – Telephone interface
• PCMZPM – Zone module (3 zones)

• 12V DC @ 1.5A
• 2-5/8" H x 3-3/8" W x 2-3/4" D
• Plug-in

The Bogen Model PCMTBM is the talkback applications module for the Bogen PCM2000 Zone Paging System. The PCMTBM is used with a high-power central amplifier to provide talkback paging in zones with passive speakers. The module is equipped with controls to adjust talkback volume and talkback delay. A noise reduction switch mutes background noise when no audio activity is present in the zone.

The PCMZPM zone module has TALKBACK dip switches which must be properly set in order to use the PCMTBM module. See the instructions supplied with the PCMZPM module for further information.

The PCMTIM telephone interface module incorporates a universal interface so that connection to any telephone system is rapid and trouble-free. The module connects to the telephone system via a standard RJ11 plug and is programmed simply by using common DIP switches. All other connections are made to built-in terminal blocks using only a small screwdriver. Setup is also easy. Zone group programming, selection of all signaling functions, and all other parameters are set by simply dialing in with a touch-tone telephone.

The telephone interface module is equipped with three RJ11 jacks for Night Ring, Tel Line, and Override. The NIGHT RINGER feature can be activated from 90V ring signal or contact closure. The TEL LINE jack can be used to program the system locally and provides 48V talk battery. The OVERRIDE feature permits all-zone override paging from a dedicated telephone, trunk, or microphone (with suitable pre-amp).

The PCMZPM zone paging module can operate high-power or low-power paging systems (only one type per PCMZPM module). For high-power paging, a single amplifier can be used for paging and supplying background music (when not paging). Background music can also be continuously supplied to all zones not being paged with the addition of a second amplifier. For low-power operation, background music is always supplied to zones not being paged. Each module can also be disconnected from the background music bus and connected to a local background music source.

Two additional zone modules can be added to the basic system to increase capacity to 9 zones. When more than 9 zones are required, a central processor module with power supply and up to 3 zone modules can be assembled as a satellite system. Ten additional 9-zone satellite systems can be installed to bring total capacity to 99 zones.

A talkback module (PCMTBM) can also be added to the system to provide hands-free talkback capability. Only one talkback module is required regardless of the number of zones or satellite systems on the PCM2000 system.

Relay driver outputs are provided for each zone. Two C-form contact sets are also provided to control the activation of accessory equipment.
