1. LED INDICATORS
POWER LED for DC input, PRIORITY indicates either PR2 or PR1 is active and ACTIVE is for activation or normal
channel

2. POWER SUPPLY INPUTS

The decoder is operated by using 24V DC, we recommend Amperes PS9400 power supply to be used or other regu-
lated 24V DC power pack.

3. PAGING MIC CONNECTIONS

The connectors are to link to paging mics via EX2800 using 2 pair screen cable. There are 3 ports, which means
three circuits would be able to be connected.

Note :
Unlike previously, this version allows any priority setting of the mic to be terminated at either one of the ports. A mix
priority setting in a circuit can also be connected to a single port.

4. OUTPUT LEVEL SELECTOR

Output level from the decoder can be set to Mic or Line level.

5. AUDIO OUTPUT
Audio output from the decoder is balanced with output level determined by the level setting as per item 6.

6. DATA LINK FOR CASCADE

This port shall be used if slave units are installed in the system. Link the data signal A/B to the data input of
the next unit (Part 7). Ensure correct polarity and the unit setting. See also item 9.

More than one TD6240 shall be used for larger system, such as 25 channel and above. There is no limitation
on the number of units that can be cascaded.

7. UNIT ADDRESS DIP SWITCHES

Each decoder caters for 24 channel outputs, thus each DIP setting shall comprise address for a group of 24 channels.
Address setting shall be using BCD codes.

Example: DIP SWITCH 1 to 5 DIP SWITCH 7 DIP SWITCH 8

10000 - Zone 1 to 24 ON = TIMER INFINITY ON = MASTER (CH1 - CH24)
01000 - Zone 25 to 48 OFF = TIMER 5 MIN OFF = SLAVE (CH25 - CH48)
11000 - Zone 49 to 72

8. TRIGGERING PORT
Connect the zone selector’s triggering port using RJ45 connector that is provided with each zone selector. Care has
to be taken when using different type of zone selector. Please refer to section “ Connection of Triggering Port ” for de-
tails.

1 Paging mic can be connected to any of the port regardless of the priority setting at the paging console.

2 Use this switch to select the audio output level ; mic or line level when connecting to pre-amplifier mixer

3 Set unit address ; each address represents one unit of decoder of 24 zones.
example : 10000 - Zone 1 to 24
01000 - Zone 25 to 48

4 Each connection port is for 6 zones triggering. Connect the correct port according to the zone numbering.
