Model LPB
Local Page Board (500-035200 / S24235-B5-A2)
INTRODUCTION

The LPB (Local Page Board) is used to connect

the alarm microphone, mounted in the LVM (Live
Voice Microphone), and the voice system internal
telephone system. The LPB converts the two
analog input signals into the system's internal
digital format. Additionally the LPB provides one
analog output to connect the monitor speaker,
mounted in the LVM. This output signal is 1 of the
8 voice internal audio channels selectable at the
voice control panel.
The microphone signal wiring between LVM and
LPB is supervised. The microphone audio input of
the LPB is not transformer isolated (each LVM
microphone output is transformer isolated). The
audio input from the telephone riser is
transformer isolated.
Each of the three audio channels can be
configured independently via the Zeus tool. Each
audio channel can be controlled automatically via
the system logic, dependant on its individual
configuration or manually by using the voice
control panel.

During the initial power-up condition, each of the

three audio channels are shut off.

Features

LPB features are as follows:

General

Up to 5 LVMs can be connected to the

LPB (only one can be active at a time)

Control data via CAN protocol

Digital audio connection with ASI

OPERATION

Digital analog converter

Optional audio data Decompression, selectable via Zeus tool

The LPB contains two audio input circuits and one audio output circuit. The
inputs are supervised for presence of input signal in the active state.
The LPB provides sampling rates from 12kHz to 48kHz and resolution from
8bit to 16bit separately for each audio channel.
Optionally, the digital audio data can be compressed/de-compressed
separately for each input and output.
Reduction of sampling rate and resolution together with data compression is
only needed in applications with distributed system architecture where DNET (external digital bus to connect voice transponders) is needed.
Centralized voice systems with only one single transponder (no D-NET) will
always have the maximum audio quality: 48kHz sampling rate, 16bit
resolution and no data compression.
The LPB is a plug-on-board to the DAC-NET.
The LPB indicates its status by diagnostic LEDs.

Controls and Indicators

The LPB has no front panel. It uses the front panel of the DAC-NET.
It contains the following:

One RESET switch

Eight diagnostic LEDs to indicate the operation of the card

as shown in Figure 1

The reset switch is located on the top of the front panel. Pushing the reset
switch re-initializes the LPB operation.

WIRING
Remove ELECTRICAL POWER prior to working on equipment.

The field wiring of the LPB is connected to the terminal blocks of the PSC-12.

EOL attachment

The Analog Audio Bus includes three audio signals (LVM microphone, LVM
monitor speaker, FMT Phone). The LPB supervises the microphone signal
wiring to the LVM. The supervision requires an EOL resistor 3K3. The EOL is
set with P7 at the LVM.
If one LVM is mounted the jumper P7 must be set in position 1 2.
If more than one LVM is mounted the Jumper P7 of the last LVM must
be set in position 1 2. The Jumper P7 of the other LVMs must be set in
position 2 3.

LVM default factory setting: Jumper P7 in position 1 2

INSTALLATION
The LPB is a Plug-on-board to a DAC-NET.
The LPB is delivered with the spacers mounted on the LPB, four Panhead
screws M3 x 6 and 4 washers 3.2mm to mount the LPB on the DAC-NET.
The LPB and DAC-NET are assembled in such a way that the component
sides face each other. The spacers of the LPB must be fit into with the holes
on the DAC-NET.
To install the LPB, hold it at an angle to the DAC-NET with the LEDs pointing
towards the front panel of the DAC-NET.

Rotate the LPB towards the DAC-NET while ensuring that the pins of
the LPB align with the sockets on the DAC-NET. DO NOT FORCE the
LPB card.

Figure 5: Installing the DAC-NET with the LPB

Insert the DAC-NET card with the LPB on it into the card guides rightside up
(lettering on the front panel is legible).
Slide the card in until the card edge connectors contact the receptacles on
the motherboard. Verify that the DIN connectors of the card and the cardcage aligned properly. The card can only plug in one direction to the card
cage, if it does not align, DO NOT FORCE the card.
Place thumbs on the front panel adjacent to the captive screws and gently
apply even pressure on the card until the connectors seat in the receptacles
on the motherboard.
Secure with the captive screws.
Power up the system and verify that the LPB power LED turns ON.
