2) The DIP switch MASTER (28) at the master
unit must be set to the lower position ON .
All other DIP switches must be in the upper
position .
3) Set the DIP switch SLAVE 1 at the (first) slave
unit to the lower position ON . All other DIP
switches must be in the upper position .
4) A second slave unit may be connected to
the first in the same way and a third to the
second slave unit . Set the DIP switch SLAVE
2 at the second slave unit and the DIP switch
SLAVE 3 at the third slave unit to the lower
position . All other DIP switches must be in
the upper position .
5) If the zone paging microphones ARM-
880RC are used in the system, these
microphones have to be completed with the
extension module ARM-880RCE for each
slave unit so that also the additional zones
can individually be selected . Connect the
cable (49) of the zone paging microphone
to the jack on the lower side of the exten-
sion module . If re quired, connect the plug
(58) of the extension module to the next
extension module .
Address each extension module with its
DIP switches (50):

Finally connect the supplied mains cable to
the mains jack (27) first and then to a socket
(230 V/ 50 Hz) .
For continuous operation of the matrix
router in case of mains failure, connect a 24 V
emergency power supply unit (e . g . PA-24ESP
from MONACOR) to the contacts BATT SUPPLY
+ and − of the screw terminal EMERGENCY (30) .

5 Basic Settings

Make the following basic settings at the matrix
router for setting it into operation . Do not yet
switch on the unit for the time being .
1) The DIP switches (28) must be set as follows:
For the Set switch DIP ... to
Unit
zones
master unit 1 – 8
slave unit 1 9 – 16
slave unit 2 17 – 24
slave unit 3 25 – 32
Notes: The switches must be actuated with the
unit switched off . When the unit is switched on,
there is no change of function . If the master unit
is set in the wrong way, the signals of the inputs
LINE 1 – 4 (34) and LINE / MIC 5 – 8 (36) cannot be
routed to the zone outputs (19) .
2) Press down the button REMOTE WALL
CTRL (25) of the zones to which a wall
module is connected .
3) Set the sliding switches (37) of the inputs
LINE / MIC 5 – 8 to the corresponding po-
sition:
LINE = for an audio unit with line output
MIC = for a microphone
PHANTOM = for a microphone requiring a
The next steps merely serve as an aid, however,
other ways of proceeding are possible as well .
4) Set all controls (20, 23, 24, 26, 31, 32, 35,
39, 41, 42) on the rear side to mid-position,
however, turn the controls GAIN of the
inputs which are not used to the left stop
to position "−" .
5) For the time being, set the controls MIC 1
(6) and SOURCE (7) of each zone to mid-
position and the control MASTER (8) to
position "0" .
6) First switch on the audio sources connected
and the matrix router, then the power
amplifiers or active speaker systems con-
nected to the zone outputs (19) .
7) In each zone select the input of the inputs
1 – 8 to be heard at highest volume: Press
the button SOURCE
position ON
until the display (3) shows the number of
1
the input (L1 ... L8) . Then confirm the selec-
tion with the button ENTER (14) within 10
2
seconds . Adjust the desired volume with the
3
control MASTER (8) and with the volume
control of the power amplifier or the active
speaker system .
Note: Select the signal input of the zones to
which the wall module ARM-880WP1 or ARM-
880WP2 is connected with the button BGM ALL
(17) or directly at the module with the buttons
SOURCE (64) .
8) The controls GAIN (35) of the inputs LINE
1 – 4 allow to adapt the input sensitivity to
the output level of the units connected and
to equalize differences in volume occurring
when switching over the inputs .
9) The controls GAIN (23) allow to adapt the
output level to the input sensitivity of the
connected power amplifier or active speaker
system for each zone . However, the controls
also allow to limit the output level so that
an excessive volume cannot be adjusted by
mistake with the controls MASTER .
10) Adjust the sound separately for each zone
with the controls (20) . The control HF is
position ON
intended for the high frequencies and the
MASTER
control LF for the low frequencies .
SLAVE 1
11) If a microphone has been connected to
SLAVE 2
the jack MICROPHONE 1 (40), make an
an nouncement via this microphone . Adjust
SLAVE 3
the input sensitivity with the control
GAIN (41) and the desired volume for the
announcements with the controls MIC 1 (6)
separately for each zone . The sound for the
announcements can be adjusted with the
controls LF and HF (42) .

12) If a zone paging microphone ARM-880RC
is connected:
a) Set the controls CHIME (44) and MIC
(45) at the microphone to mid-position
for the time being .
b) Select with the switch CHIME (43) if a
chime is to sound prior to an announce-
ment when pressing the button TALK
(52), and if so, which type:
2-TONE = 2-tone chime
OFF = no chime
4-TONE = 4-tone chime
c) Press the button ALL CALL (53) so that
an announcement can be heard in all
zones .
d) Keep the button TALK pressed, possibly
wait for a chime and make an announce-
ment via the microphone . Adjust the
volume of the announcement separately
for each zone with the controls PAGE
(24) at the matrix router .
e) If required, change the volume ratio of
chime and announcement with the con-
trols CHIME (44) and MIC (45) .
f) If two zone paging microphones have
been connected, adjust the volume ratio
of the microphones with the controls
GAIN (39) .
g) To mark the zone buttons (57), a label
(56) is provided which can be removed
and replaced, if required . The same label
is also available at the extension modules
ARM-880RCE .
13) Feed an audio signal to the wall module
( ☞ chapter 6 .3) or to the additional input
of the zones where the wall module ARM-
880WP1 or ARM-880WP3 is connected or
the additional audio input (22) is used . In
each case select the input with the buttons
SOURCE (9, 64) (shown on the display by an
"L") and adjust the volume with the control
REM . SOURCE ... GAIN (26) .
14) If the alarm inputs of the screw terminal
FIRE ALARM (29) are used, trigger an alarm
for each zone (bridge the contact for one
zone and the contact G) . Adjust the volume
of the alarm signal for all zones of a matrix
router with the control TONE OUTPUT (31) .
15) When the input EMC IN of the terminal
EMERGENCY (30) is used, feed an (emer-
gency) signal to the input and adjust the
volume for all zones with the control EMC
INPUT (32) .
