INTRODUCTION
The PagePac
®
Remote Amplifier Adapter pro-
vides a method of extending the speaker cover-
age of your PagePac paging system, by using an
additional PagePac 6 or AmpliCenter as a remote
amplifier at remote or off-site locations. Note that
the adapter can not be connected to a 70V output.
For example, the Remote Amplifier Adapter may
be connected to a voice coil speaker cable at the
beginning or at the end of the cable run as appro-
priate. If used at the end of the run, the Adapter
modular cord (P2) is connected to the PAGE
INPUT Jack (J1) on the “remote” unit. If used at
the start of the run, four wires are used to connect
the remote amplifier. The page signals from the
primary unit are now available from the remote
unit. Adapters may also be used with systems that
provide talkback and zone paging. Music is avail-
able to the remote unit from the main unit only if
the Remote Amplifier Adapter is connected to the
music input of the remote unit.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!
Refer to Secondary Circuit Protec-
tion Information.
The Remote Adapter has been designed to
connect voice coil outputs (3.4 volt system) to
PagePac 6 or D-Series AmpliCenter units which
are located in separate buildings or when the units
are separated by 2,000 feet or more. To accom-
modate the potential power loss of large dis-
tances, the output of the Remote Amplifier
Adapter is 7 db “hotter” than the “PAGE INPUT” of
the remote D-Series Amplicenter. When connect-
ing two D-Series Amplicenter units, which are
within the same building or within 2,000 feet of
each other, the remote PagePac may be over-
driven by the first. To alleviate this potential prob-
lem a 200 Ohm 1/4 watt resistor has been
included with each Remote Amplifier Adapter
attached to the “R” (Ring terminal. Attach this
resistor across the “T” and the “R” (Tip and Ring)
terminals when the two PagePac 6 or D-Series
Amplicenter units are within the same building (or
are located less than 2,000 feet from each other).
The 200 Ohm resistor should not be attached
when the remote Amplicenter is in another build-
ing or further than 2,000 feet from the first Ampli-
center.
To install a Remote Amplifier Adapter, make the
connections shown in Figure 1. A description of
the screw-type terminals located on the adapter is
provided in Table 1.
