About the Compact 3200 system:

Overview

The Compact 3200 Series Administrative Communications System is a microprocessor based, single-master intercom and sound distribution controller. It is available in rackmount and console (tabletop) models. The Compact 3200 controls remote speaker stations individually, for two-way communication, page announcements, and audio program distribution; and collectively, for emergency and all call announcements in multiple-room buildings.

1. Emergency paging
2. Emergency tone distribution
3. Time tone distribution
4. All call
5. Intercom
6. Program

Higher priority functions automatically interrupt lower priority functions. Lower priority functions automatically resume when higher priority functions have ended. For example, selective intercom communication is interrupted by an all call page, which is interrupted by an emergency page

Using the built-in front panel microphone or the optional console handset, the console operator can hold a two-way conversation with any properly equipped remote station connected to the system. The front panel INTERCOM PUSH TO TALK button or the handset’s voice-activated switch controls audio direction.

The console can monitor any remote station that has two-way audio capability and is not in privacy mode. An intermittent privacy tone sounds at the remote station speaker(s) during console monitoring of that station.

One-touch emergency paging is accomplished by pressing the EMERGENCY PUSH TO TALK button, which automatically interrupts any audio program or intercom communication in progress. A tone is automatically sent to all speakers, after which an emergency announcement can be sent at a preset volume level.

All call and selective paging announcements can be sent to all or selected remote stations. These announcements can be made using the built-in front panel microphone, the optional desk microphone, or the optional console handset. All call pages can also be made using the optional remote all call microphone.

A built-in, solid-state, 15-watt amplifier module and preset incoming and outgoing speaker level controls are provided for intercom power. A power supply/power amplifier module provides DC power for the entire system. The 25-volt line output is standard, but is selectable to 45-ohm output. This module also provides power to the system’s 24Vdc external connections for associated equipment. The module has multiple circuit protection, including power supply and output amplifier fusing to protect against major failures, thermal and short circuit protection, and current limiting. Models 12A/B/C/D3200 contain a 60-watt program amplifier. Models 12A/B/C/D3212 come equipped with an external 125-watt program amplifier in place of the 60-watt amplifier.

Connections are provided for 24Vdc input from an external backup battery in case of main AC power failure.

A diagnostic routine can be initiated at any time to check system integrity. A built-in integrated monitor checks the microprocessor during operation and automatically resets it in the event of power loss or other failure.

The PROGRAM SELECTION TONE button can be used to manually send time tones to remote stations. A separate, locking EMERGENCY TONE button, when pressed, sends an emergency tone to all remote stations until the pushbutton is disengaged. The tone automatically interrupts any audio program or intercom communication in progress. Connections are also provided to trigger the emergency tone by the closure of external contacts.

The built-in tone generator provides seven distinct tones:

1. Emergency paging.
2. Emergency tone 3
3. Time signaling tone 4
4. All call paging
5. Intercom
6. Privacy (remote station monitoring)
7. Door tone (external contact)

The tone volume levels are adjusted at the console.

The tabletop unit uses one, two, or three 3-position switchbanks for capacities of 25, 50, or 75 remote stations. Rack units have a capacity of up to 150 stations. All switches in a unit do not have to be used if not needed. Each switchbank is equipped with 25 three-position (INTERCOM, OFF, PROGRAM) switches. Each switch controls one speaker. On Models 12A/C3200 and 12A/C3212, the LED below each switch lights and the built-in tone generator sounds a tone when a remote station calls in.

The last two switches on the last switchbank can be configured to isolate these locations from any communication while the switches are off. The Model 438-672 Time Bus Relay Kit can be installed to automatically feed emergency and time tone signals to these stations, while still isolating them from all call and background music distribution.

A speaker with its own volume control and an LED bar-graph output level indicator are provided for monitoring audio program output. Distribution of background music or other audio program material does not interfere with simultaneous intercom use.

A color-coded control panel contains all controls and instructions on a single front panel for easy operation. LEDs indicate intercom mode and emergency mode use. A separate adjustment is provided for audio program output level. Program mode pushbuttons (ALL, SELECT) are provided for selecting individual remote stations or all remote stations to receive program material. The program selection pushbuttons are TONE, PANEL MIC, MIC1, TAPE/TUNER, AUX 1, and AUX 2.

An optional plug-in telephone interface allows paging and intercom functions to be performed from any standard pushbutton telephone connected to the interface. These functions include emergency page distribution, emergency tone distribution, time tone distribution, all call paging, selective paging (through the system operator), telephone– to–console intercom, and telephone–to–classroom intercom (through the system operator). A DTMF telephone connected to the PHONE 1 inputs can also monitor program channel audio through the telephone handset or the speaker of a speaker phone.
