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)
• Talkback capabilities (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)
The PCMCPU module includes a set of DIP switches to set
the system ID, a Program/Run switch that allows system
programming, a Power jack for 12V DC power, and audio connections
for central amplifier, low-power BGM, high-power
BGM, emergency/shift change trigger, and auxiliary trigger.
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 port type is selected
simply by using slide switches. All other connections are made
to built-in terminal blocks.
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 Override, Page Port/Trunk, and 90V Night
Ring/Station. The Night Ringer feature can be activated from
90V ring signal or contact closure. The Page Port/Trunk 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 to self-amplified 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.
