ECLER eMPAGE

Product overview

The ECLER eMPAGE is a 16-zone digital desktop paging station for HUB series digital zoners and the MIMO88, MIMO88SG and MIMO1212SG matrices, with 20 keys, LED status indicators, an electronic ink zone name display and a removable gooseneck microphone.

Select the destination zones, see at a glance whether they are free or held by another station, then hold PAGE and speak. A single CAT5 or better cable, point to point, carries power, the microphone audio and the digital control bus. Zone names are imported from the matrix outputs, and paging zones, chimes, priorities and programmable keys are set in the matrix's own configuration.

Key features

• 16 paging zones; 20 mechanical keys with integrated LED status indicators
• PAGE key with adjacent LED indicator
• Electronic ink display showing the paging zone names
• Removable gooseneck condenser microphone (eMCN1), standard XLR
• F1 and F2 programmable zone group keys; ALL and CLR keys
• One RJ45 cable for power, audio and control
• Connector for an optional backup power supply (WP24-PSU)
• Two units with equal or different priority on one HUB device

Clear zone status

• Unlit: free zone
• Green: selected for the next message
• Red: held by a higher priority station or module
• Flashing orange: selected but held by higher priority
• Orange: the message was interrupted in that zone

Sending a message

• Check the zone LEDs
• Select the destination zones
• Press and hold PAGE; if a chime is programmed, wait until the PAGE LED turns green
• Release PAGE; press CLR to clear the selection

Simple wiring

Connect a CAT5 or better cable point to point to the PAGER A or B port of a HUB unit (up to 90 m on AWG24, 110 m on AWG23, 140 m on AWG22), or through the RJ45 to Euroblock adapter to a MIMO remote port. For longer runs add the WP24-PSU: data exchange has been tested to 600 m with good quality CAT5e.

ECLER eMPAGE: frequently asked questions

Which ECLER devices does the eMPAGE work with?

HUB series digital zoners with DSP, and the MIMO88, MIMO88SG and MIMO1212SG digital audio matrices.

Does it need its own power supply?

No. It is powered through the RJ45 cable; an optional WP24-PSU backup supply can be added for long cable runs.

Can two paging stations share one system?

Yes. Two eMPAGE units with equal or different priority can work on the same HUB device, and three on a MIMO88SG or MIMO1212SG.

How are the zone names shown?

On the electronic ink display, imported automatically from the names of the matrix outputs.

Where can I buy the ECLER eMPAGE in India?

The ECLER eMPAGE is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.

Workflow 1: Retail store with a HUB zoner

Announcements to selected shop areas.

Connections

Setup

1. Remove the back cover and connect the RJ45 cable.
2. Insert the microphone.
3. Enable paging zones, chime and keys in the HUB configuration.
4. Set ADJ high on the station and the HUB gain low.

Tip: Keep the cable within 90 m on AWG24 or add a WP24-PSU.

Workflow 2: Office building with a MIMO88

Paging to floors and meeting areas.

Connections

Setup

1. Set the internal jumper to CAN.
2. Wire the adapter to the remote port.
3. Program the paging module in the matrix.
4. Test each zone key.

Tip: Fit the 120 Ω termination jumper when required on the CAN bus.

Workflow 3: Two paging desks with priority

Reception and security both page.

Connections

Setup

1. Connect one eMPAGE to each PAGER port.
2. Give security the higher priority.
3. Program allowed zones per station.
4. Test a simultaneous message.

Tip: The orange LED tells the operator a message was interrupted.

Workflow 4: Leisure centre zones

Calls to pool, gym and cafe areas.

Connections

Setup

1. Name the outputs in the zoner.
2. Assign zone groups to F1 and F2.
3. Program a chime.
4. Train staff on the LED colours.

Tip: F1 and F2 can select groups such as all wet areas.

Workflow 5: Long cable run

Station far from the equipment room.

Connections

Setup

1. Use good quality CAT5e.
2. Connect the WP24-PSU at the station.
3. Check for noise on the microphone signal.
4. Test control from the station.

Tip: With an external supply ECLER has tested data exchange to 600 m.

Workflow 6: Emergency announcements to all zones

Fast whole-site messages.

Connections

Setup

1. Press ALL to select every enabled zone.
2. Hold PAGE and wait for the green LED.
3. Speak the message.
