Mounting the Enclosure

Mount the enclosure using the four 0.312-inch
(8 mm) diameter holes located on the mounting
flanges with -inch (M6) hardware. The ICS
remote subset amplifier is not supplied with
conduit or cable openings.
Remove the front panel and drill or punch entry
openings in the rear section of the enclosure.
Refer to Figure 2 for the suggested locations.
There must be a minimum of inch (13 mm)
of material between entry holes.
The station is suitable for top or bottom entry
per Figure 2. However, GAI-Tronics
recommends bottom entry only wherever
possible.
For specific details including mounting hole
dimensions, refer to Figure 2. When mounting
the enclosure, use caution to avoid damaging
the internal components.
The suggested mounting height for all station
enclosures is 48 inches (1219 mm) to the center
of the bottom mounting holes of the enclosure.
NOTE: In ICS Page/Party stations with an
installed 70V/100V speaker output option,
bottom wire entry is limited on the bottom left
side of the enclosure. Refer to Figure 2.
Figure 2. Suggested Wire Entry Locations

Field Wiring
The ICS Page/Party Station provides terminal blocks for field wiring. Each connection for the system
cable has two terminals for daisy-chain wiring. Attach #6 spade lugs to the wires before attachment to the
terminal blocks for the most secure connection.
The terminal blocks on the remote amplifier Termination PCBA are labeled to coincide with the color
code used on GAI-Tronics 60029 series multi-party cable or 60038 series single party cable. Refer to
Figure 3 for a sample wiring diagram.
In certain circumstances where paging audio induces feedback, muting the speakers of two or more
stations during a page, referred to as mutual muting, can eliminate such feedback problems. This function
is enabled by connecting the spare orange wire between stations to terminal block TB4-2 or TB5-2.
Figure 3. Typical ICS Page/Party Station Wiring Diagram

After all wiring and cable connections have been completed, place the front cover on the rear enclosure,
being careful not to pinch any cables. Secure the front cover using the four screws and washers provided.
Torque the screws to 1012 in-lbs (1.131.36 n-m).

Figure 6. 69557 Series Main PCBA
Jumper Settings
Speaker Mute
The station can mute the speaker amplifier during page operation to eliminate feedback. P11 in the EN
position (default) mutes the speaker during page activation. P11 in the DIS position allows broadcast to
the speaker during paging.
Speaker Gain Setting
P9 can limit the maximum speaker output level. P9 in the HI position (default) represents a 30-watt
maximum output. P9 in the LO position represents a 2-watt maximum output.
WARNING
Maximum output power may exceed rated speaker wattage resulting in speaker
damage.
The P9 2-watt speaker gain setting is designed for use when the external speaker is placed in a quiet
environment, such as an office. The 2-watt setting allows for more minute volume adjustments to the
speaker. However, this affects the internal speaker output volume for desktop units as well.

09/13
Pub. 42004-726L2F
Page: 8 of 27
For such applications, the use of a GAI-Tronics No. 12506-001 Remote Volume control is recommended.
This allows the P9 speaker gain setting to be left at the 30-watt setting, while allowing maximum control
of the external speaker volume. This configuration will also not affect the internal speaker volume level
of the desktop unit.
Level Adjustments
Transmit Level
The Transmit Level potentiometer, R34, adjusts the signal level from the handset or optional auxiliary
headset microphone to the page or party lines.
Receiver Volume
The Receiver Volume potentiometer, R5, adjusts the signal level to the handset receiver from the page or
party lines.
Speaker Volume
The Speaker Volume potentiometer, R91, adjusts the signal level to the speaker from the page line. The
default setting is 4 watts for an 8-ohm speaker and 2 watts for a 16-ohm speaker.
Warning Maximum output power may exceed rated speaker wattage resulting in speaker damage.
Attach the Front Panel

After all adjustments have been completed, place the front cover on the rear enclosure, being careful not
to pinch any cables. Secure the front cover using the four screws and washers provided. Torque the
screws to 1012 in-lbs (1.131.36 n-m).
Operation
For paging and subsequent party line conversation, the station operator lifts the handset on the remote
subset, selects a free party line using the five-position rotary selector switch (if equipped), and presses the
handset pressbar. The station operator pages the desired individual and designates the party line on which
that individual should respond. The individual then responds by approaching the nearest ICS Page/Party
station, selecting the appropriate party line and lifting the handset. Full-duplex communication can then
be held on the party line without broadcasting over the speakers. After the conversation is complete, all
parties should place the handset back on hook.

Options
The ICS remote subset amplifier station options can be factory installed or field installed in some cases.
The field installable options include ICS SmartSeries, VLC, and RTU.
ICS SmartSeries
General
The 69552 SmartSeries PCBA adds microprocessor control to the ICS Page/Party station, providing
additional sensor and monitoring capabilities. SmartSeries and VLC PCBAs cannot be installed in the
same station.
Features
When used with or without ADVANCE head-end equipment:
Ambient Level Sensing (ALS) circuitry automatically changes the local speakers paging volume in
response to varying background noise. (Not available when 70V/100V speaker output option is
used.)
Off-hook timeout prevents noise being introduced to a party line by electronically placing the handset
on-hook after 8 minutes
Page timeout limits a single page broadcast to two minutes, freeing the page line for emergencies
When used with ADVANCE head-end equipment:
Station monitoring of key components (including handset, amplifier and local speaker) provides fast
notification of any faults. (Local speaker monitoring is not available when 70V/100V speaker
output option is used.)
Ability to accept supervised contact closure inputs and provide a supervised relay output (requires
RTU option)

Installation and Adjustments

Opening the Station
adjustments.
Installing the SmartSeries PCBA
Remove power from the station.

Remove all jumpers on the Main PCBA P4 connector.
Align the SmartSeries PCBA with four mounting holes to the right of the Main PCBA with the edge of
the SmartSeries board under the Main PCBA. Secure the SmartSeries PCBA with the four screws
provided.
Install the provided 34-pin ribbon cable from P4 of Main PCBA to P4 of SmartSeries PCBA.
Reapply power to the station.
Setting the Address
For the SmartSeries option to function properly, each station in an ADVANCE system zone must be
given a unique address using the hexadecimal switches, S1 (Hi Address) and S2 (Lo Address). Each
switch contains 16 settings, labeled 0F. A small arrow on each switch indicates the setting.
The station address is determined by the high address setting followed by the low address setting. For
example, to assign an address of 05, the high station address is set to 0 and the low address is set to 5.
Valid address settings are 05 to FE. Record the address assigned for each station in the system for your
records. If the SmartSeries PCBA is installed in a system without an ADVANCE head end, set the
address to 04 (default).
ALS Minimum Level
The ALS minimum level is the lowest speaker output level that the station will maintain. To set the ALS
minimum level, turn R91 fully counterclockwise. Listen for a single beep from the speaker indicating the
speaker amplifier is in the Minimum Level Adjustment mode. If the page line is in use immediately after
the beep tone, the page signal should be used to make the minimum level adjustment. If the page line is
inactive following the beep tone, a continuous tone is activated to make the minimum level adjustment.
After the tone is activated, all page line activity is ignored until completion of the adjustment.
This test tone is used as a reference to adjust the speaker amplifier output level to the desired volume.
Adjust R91 to the desired output. The test tone automatically shuts off 5 seconds after the last
adjustment. The factory default setting for minimum level is 4.0 watts nominal into an 8-ohm load.

09/13
Pub. 42004-726L2F
Page: 11 of 27
ALS Offset Level
The ALS offset level allows the output of the speaker amplifier to maintain a set difference or offset
between the ambient noise level and the speaker output level. To set the ALS offset level, turn R91 fully
clockwise and listen for the two beep tones indicating that the station is in the Offset Adjustment mode.
If the page line is in use immediately after the two beep tones are heard, the page signal should be used to
make the offset level adjustment. If the page line is inactive immediately following the beep tones, a
continuous tone is activated to make the offset level adjustment. After the tone is activated, all page line
activity is ignored until completion of the adjustment. Adjust R91 to the desired offset level.
NOTE: This adjustment should be made under maximum ambient noise level. The ALS offset level must
always be set higher than the ALS minimum level setting.
SmartSeries VLC Level
When activated, the VLC overrides the ALS minimum level setting allowing the speaker volume to
change to a preset level during an emergency page. To adjust the VLC Level, force the station into the
VLC mode by having someone execute a page from a station programmed by the MCU to activate the
VLC function. During the page, turn the R91 control fully counterclockwise, and listen for two beep
tones through the page speaker indicating the VLC Adjustment mode has been activated. After the two
beep tones, turn the R91 control to the desired speaker level using the live paging signal to adjust the
level. The station automatically exits the VLC Adjustment mode and reverts to normal operation 5
seconds after the last pot adjustment.
NOTE: The system must be equipped with an ADVANCE head end to activate the SmartSeries VLC
function.
Speaker Impedance Supervision
When this feature is configured, the station will supervise the speaker line for changes in the speaker line
impedance. To perform this function the station must be calibrated for the impedance of the speaker(s)
attached. If the station has never been previously calibrated, the station will report a speaker fault within
15 minutes of being configured for this feature. The station may be calibrated either locally at the
station or remotely by a system command from the ADVANCE head end. See the ADVANCE System
Programming Manual for details of remote calibration.
To perform a local calibration, first ensure that the station is configured for speaker impedance
supervision. Next, set the station's address to 0x02. Wait until you hear a single-beep tone at the attached
speaker. This should occur within 20 seconds. This tone indicates that a successful calibration was
performed.
If instead a double-beep tone is heard, this indicates that the station attempted to calibrate but was
unsuccessful (the attached impedance is out-of-range). If a tone is not heard, the station may not be
configured for speaker impedance supervision or there is an open connection to the speaker.
After hearing the single beep tone, set the address back to its original value to resume normal station
operation with the new calibration value.
NOTE: If this feature is used, then jumper P9 of the Main PCBA must be in the HI (default) position.

FSK Signal Gain
The FSK Signal Gain, R13, adjusts the FSK transmit signal strength. It is set at the factory and should
not be adjusted by the installer.
Attaching the Front Panel
Operation
Paging with ADVANCE Head End
Paging and party line operation with the ICS SmartSeries option is similar to standard station operation.
The main differences are that when the handset pressbar or the headset page switch is pressed, a steady
wait tone will be heard in the handset/headset earpiece. When the wait tone ends, a preannouncement tone, if programmed, will sound, and the operator may place their page. If the system is
busy and the page is denied, the user will hear a busy tone in the handset/headset earpiece.
Paging without ADVANCE Head End
Paging and party line operation will be similar to standard station operation.
Station Time-out Features
The ICS SmartSeries option supports a page duration limit that sets the maximum duration of each page.
If the page is still active when the page duration limit is reached, the page will be terminated. When used
without an ADVANCE head end, the page duration limit is fixed at 2 minutes.
The ICS SmartSeries option supports an off-hook limit that sets the maximum duration that the station
may be kept off hook. If the off-hook limit is reached, the station will be placed electrically on hook. To
reset the timeout condition, the handset must be physically placed on hook momentarily. When used
without an ADVANCE head end, the off-hook limit is fixed at 8 minutes.

VLC
General
The 69553 Volume Level Control (VLC) PCBA adds the capability of remotely controlling the local
speaker volume level. When VLC is activated, a remote device transmits a 50 kHz signal over the page
line. The station detects the 50 kHz signal and switches to an alternate speaker volume setting.
VLC and SmartSeries options cannot be used in the same station.
Features
Provides an alternate speaker volume setting that is activated by receiving a 50 kHz signal on the
page line.
Allows office or crew quarters speakers to be muted until a high priority message or alarm is
broadcast.
Prevents local handset paging during emergency situations.
Enables outdoor speaker volume to be reduced at night.
Adds the ability to provide a relay output (requires RTU option)

50 kHz Alignment
The 50 kHz alignment, R5, adjusts the receivers frequency for VLC operation. It is set at the factory and
should not be adjusted by the installer.
Speaker Mute
P26 allows for the installer to mute the speaker audio during VLC operation or normal operation. In the
50kHz position, the audio is muted during a VLC broadcast. In the NORM position, the audio is
muted during normal operation. To operate the unit without the muting feature, remove P26.
Audio Alignment
To set the normal speaker output level, set DIP switch SW2-1 to the off position. Set SW2-2 to the
on position to enable a reference test tone. Adjust R91 on the Main PCBA (refer to Figure 6 for
location) to the desired audio level. To mute the audio, turn R91 fully counterclockwise and put P26,
MUTE, in the NORM position.
NOTE: If LED2 on the VLC PCBA is on, indicating the system VLC tone is present, this adjustment
cannot be made.
To set the VLC controlled speaker output level, set SW2-1 to the on position. Set SW2-2 to the on
position to enable a reference test tone. Adjust R12 on the VLC PCBA to the desired audio level. To
mute the audio, turn R91 fully counterclockwise and put P26, MUTE, in the 50KHz position.

speakers and daisy-chain multiple speakers to a single ICS Page/Party Station. The daisy-chained
speaker line is then monitored by the single ICS Page/Party Station at the end unit. Refer to Figure 15
above.
NOTE: Smart ALS and local speaker monitoring are not available when the 70V/100V speaker
output option is installed and must be disabled for this station in the system configuration.
Field Wiring
For 100V speakers, connect wires to the plug for TB8 - 100V and COM.
For 70V speakers, connect wires to the plug for TB8 - 70V and COM.
