Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

The Notes displays are LED matrix displays. There are two sets of Notes displays with different heights
of the matrix. They are 9 or 16 pixels high. The LEDs are available in four colours: red, green, white and
red-green (Two-coloured display).
Notes 9-series is available in three LED widths and Notes 16-series in one width and both sets of Notes
are available with or without signboard.
The name of a Notes display is the height and the width of the matrix, for example a Notes 924 display
is 9 pixels high and 24 pixels wide.
The following table describes the Notes displays.
All Notes are 20,5 mm thick.

Notes 16-series
The Notes 16-series are the standard displays for languages that use an alphabet with complex characters,
for example Chinese, Japanese and Thai.
The Notes 16-series displays can show more fonts and graphics than the Notes 9-series. It is, for
example, possible to show a logotype.
The text on the Notes 16-series can be bigger than the text on a Notes 9-series and it can also be shown
in one or two lines. This makes the Notes 16-series display very useful as a main display, especially in
larger waiting areas.

173.01H Qmatic 7
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

In an Orchestra, Ensemble, Solo Virtua, Duet Virtua, or Solo Linea system, there might be many
different types of Notes displays, showing different types of information. The system settings specify the
information shown on the displays. Each type of display has its own settings.
An ID code identifies each Notes display. Each type of Notes has its own range of ID codes. In the
settings you specify the ID code for the first Notes display in the display range.
Notes displays only receive information; they do not transmit any information. This makes it possible
for many Notes to have the same ID code. Notes with the same ID code will show exactly the same
information.
The only connection needed for a Notes display is the Qmatic serial communication (the Modular cable).
The Notes will both communicate and get its power through this cable.

Notes Workstation display

The Notes workstation display is usually placed above the workstation. The display guides the customers
to the workstations.

Notes Main display

The Notes main display informs the customers when a new ticket number is called. It shows the ticket
number, the workstation number and the direction to the workstation. A bell connected to the main
display ensures that the customers do not miss the call.

8 Qmatic 173.01H
Notes Workstation display
The Notes workstation display is usually placed above the workstation. The display guides the
customers to the workstations. The ticket number flashes on the Notes when a new customer is called.
Text messages can be used to enhance the information, for example “CLOSED” when the workstation
is closed.
A signboard showing for example the workstation number can be integrated in the Notes display.

A Notes workstation display.

ID code

The Notes workstation display uses the same ID code as the corresponding workstation. Default start ID
code: 1.

173.01H Qmatic 9
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

Connection

A modular cable connects the Notes workstation display to the Satellite Connection Box. The displays
can be connected to any connectors on the Satellite Connection Box. The workstation number is
specified by the ID code of the Notes not by the connector on the connection box.
Depending on the system it may be necessary to connect a power supply to the Satellite Connection Box.

The Satellite Connection Box is connected to the rest of the system with an EKKX 4 x 0.5 mm2 cable.

Do not connect wire 1 (+ 24V) to another power supply or ticket printer.

10 Qmatic 173.01H
Notes Main display
The Notes main display informs the customers when a new ticket number is called. It shows the ticket
number, the workstation number and the direction to the workstation. A bell connected to the Notes main
display ensures that the customers do not miss the call.
It is possible to combine two Notes to show two ticket numbers and workstation numbers at the same
time or to show the ticket number and the workstation number on separate rows.
The Notes main display is placed in the waiting area visible for all customers.

ID code

Default start ID code: 81.

173.01H Qmatic 11
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

Connection

A modular cable connects the Notes main displays to the Satellite Connection Box. The displays can be
connected to any connectors on the Satellite Connection Box when there are no bells but they should be
connected to Disp 1, Disp 2, etc. if the bell connectors (Bell 1, Bell 2, etc.) are used.
Connectors "Disp 1" to "Disp 4" are connected to "Bell 1" to "Bell 4" respectively, on the terminal block
in the Satellite Connection Box. This makes it possible to have four Notes main displays connected to
four different bells. Also, the terminal block makes it possible for Notes main displays to share the same
bell. This bell should be connected to Bell 1:

12 Qmatic 173.01H
Four displays sharing one bell.

The Terminal block in the box:

It is the ID code and not the Satellite Connection Box that specifies the Notes main display number.
The numbering of the display connectors on the Satellite Connection Box (Disp 1, Disp 2, etc.) indicates
the corresponding bell connectors (Bell 1, Bell 2, etc.) and not the Notes main display number.

Make sure that the power supply you use works well together with the power consumption of your
displays. For more information, see Power Consumption.
The Satellite Connection Box is connected to the rest of the system with an EKKX 4 x 0.5 mm2 cable.

Do not connect wire 1 (+ 24V) to another power supply or ticket printer.

The settings give the Notes an identity, an ID code. All Notes showing different information must have
different ID codes. Notes with the same ID code will show exactly the same information. The ID code
also specifies the type of the display.
All Notes display types (workstation display and main display) have their own range of ID codes. The
ID code for the first Notes display of each type is specified in the system settings.

ID and Sub ID code

The ID code and the Sub ID code of the Notes display.

Width

The width is usually correctly specified when the Notes display is delivered. The width must be specified
if the display has been restored to factory default settings.
The width is used in the name of the Notes display. For example, a 948 has width 48.

BSID

The broadcast sub ID code is used together with the broadcast ID code. These ID codes are used to send
information to a wide range of units in the system. One example is when fonts are loaded into the Notes
displays. All Notes should have the fonts, no matter which ID codes they have. This kind of information
cannot be sent to the usual ID code because it is different for all units. Instead it is sent to the broadcast
ID code. The broadcast ID code is the same for all units in the system and it cannot be changed.

173.01H Qmatic 19
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

The broadcast sub ID code (BSID) is a sub ID code for the broadcast ID code. Default BSID is 100. The
broadcast ID code makes it possible to divide Notes into groups, for example if they are going to use
different sets of fonts.

The broadcast sub ID code is usually not changed. Notes with the same broadcast sub ID code will
have the same set of fonts. The broadcast sub ID code that the system will use to upload fonts is specified
in the font settings, in the settings section of the controlling system, such as Orchestra.

LED test

Use the LED test to check if all LEDs are working properly. All LEDs are turned on for a few seconds.
All colours are tested on a multicoloured Notes display.

To reduce the power consumption the LEDs are tested with 20% of the maximum intensity.

Factory default settings


All Notes displays have a set of basic settings that cannot be changed: the factory default settings. These
settings can be used when a Notes display is not working properly. The factory default settings are the
same for all display sizes so the display settings must be changed before the display is used.

New settings must be specified when a Notes display has been restored to factory default settings.
Do not forget to specify the width and the height of the display because these settings are also restored
to a factory default value that may be different from the actual size of the display.
Follow these steps to restore the Notes displays to the factory default.
• Disconnect the cable from the Notes display.
• Press the settings button and keep it pressed.
• Connect the cable to the Notes display.
• Release the button. The Notes display is restored to the factory default settings.

Connection devices

The connection devices must never be used in any other way than described in documentation from
Qmatic. Never use the connection devices together with any other products than those described in this
manual or other manuals or documents from Qmatic.

Make sure that the Notes displays are firmly fixed to a surface that can withstand their weight even
in cases of earthquake or other kind of disturbances.
Incorrect use of the mounting devices may result in fatal danger for persons passing under the Notes
displays.

Beware of static electricity when handling the Notes displays and especially when removing the
folio from the displays.

Many of the connection devices below work together with both a 10 x 25 mm tube and a 15 x 25
mm tube, which means that they are backwards compatible.

Cleaning of displays
Handle the Notes displays with care! Leave the protective folio/foam on as long as possible. Note that
removing the folio may cause static electricity.
After mounting of the display and removal of the folio, please use a soft microfibre screen cleaning cloth,
or a mild detergent to remove any finger prints or dust from the display.
To avoid scratches, make sure that the cloth is perfectly clean. Also, never use strong solvents or polishes
on the display!

Fixing the Notes display to a wall


To mount the Notes display to a wall, start by removing the display cover center from the display and
drilling a hole through the circle in the center (se figure below). This is where the cable will be placed.
Fix the display cover center to the wall, using four suitable screws (not included) and four wall mounting
distances (article number 12501196).

Note that if the wall mounting distances are not used, it will not be possible to slide the side covers
of the display into place.

Make sure that the arrow symbol on the display cover center is facing upwards.
When the cover center is mounted to the wall, hang the Notes display onto the four hooks on the cover
center.

Fixing the Notes display to the ceiling

Fixing the Notes display to a tube

To fix the Notes display to the ceiling, use a tube (both 25 x 10 mm and 25 x 15 mm are possible),
connected to the display top bracket (article number 12271123), using the included screw. Then, fix the
display to the top bracket, using the included screws (article number 12501197).

To be able to fix the display top bracket to the display top, you first need to remove the display
plate from the glass, so that the screw holes are accessible.

When using the 25 x 10 mm tube, make sure you press it all the way down to the bottom of the
display top bracket.

The finished result looks like this:

The tube is 1100 mm long (article number 10930206 or 10940101, depending on if it’s 25 x 10 mm, or
25 x 15 mm).

Hanging from an acoustic ceiling

An acoustic ceiling is usually not firm enough to support hanging Notes displays. The Ceiling Rail is an
aluminium profile that is placed on beams in the ceiling with clamps to hold the tubes of the Notes
hanging from the profile.

The Ceiling Rail is placed on beams in the ceiling.

For this, it is possible to use both 25 x 10 mm and 25 x 15 mm tubes. However, the 25 x 15 mm


tubes can only be used in the center hole.

30 Qmatic 173.01H
For heavy loads of Notes displays, use two profiles one on top of the other, like this:

Use the clamp to hang the display tube on the profile.


The above clamp can be used with both the 25 x 10 mm and the 25 x 15 mm tubes.
Use Cover Plates to cover the holes in the acoustic ceiling.
There are breaking holes in the profile so that the profile can be shortened to a suitable length. First, cut
open the holes close to the edge with cutting pliers then break the profile.

The same profile can be used for all Notes displays.

173.01H Qmatic 31
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

Hanging from a fixed ceiling

The Fixed Ceiling Fastener is used if there is no acoustic ceiling. Two screws fix the Ceiling Fastener to
the ceiling. Two other screws fix the 25 mm tube to the Ceiling Fastener.

The Fixed Ceiling Fastener can only be used with the 10 x 25 mm tube.

32 Qmatic 173.01H
Hanging 2-4 displays from a ceiling, using a fixture plate
It is possible to hang 2, 3 or 4 Notes displaýs back-to-back, in a square, or in a triangular formation, from
an acoustic ceiling, using the ceiling fixture plate (article number 14120113A). This plate can only be
used together with 15 x 25 mm tubes and together with clamps (article number 14120112A).
To better be able to plan where and how to mount your displays, here you can see the measurements of
the fixture plate:

173.01H Qmatic 37
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

Cabling
All Notes displays use modular cables for both the power supply and the signal. Some Notes displays
need an additional power supply cable.
All cables must be placed inside the tubes and the displays. No cables should be visible from the outside
of the display.

The cables must be put through the tubes before the connectors are mounted on the cables.

The placement of the cable through a tube

The cables are always placed inside the tubes and the display top bracket or display stacking bracket, as
in the picture below.

38 Qmatic 173.01H
The placement of the cable in a Display Cover Center.

You need to drill through the circle in the middle of the display cover center, so that the cable can
be pulled through and the display can be mounted.
The following picture shows the placement of the cable in a display cover center. Naturallay, the cable
can also be entered from the bottom, in a similar way.

The cable is entered from the top.

173.01H Qmatic 39
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

Power Consumption
The number of Notes displays that can be supplied with power through the same cable depends on the
displays’ power consumption. The following table can be used as a guideline for calculating the number
of Notes displays per cable.

The current in each cable must never exceed 1 A during normal use.

Never exceed the maximum allowed output power of the power supply connected to the Notes
displays. The maximum allowed output power depends on the type of the power supply. The power
supply must be dimensioned for the maximum power consumption (usually at LED test).

The power consumption of the Notes display depends on the font, the number of shown characters
and the used colour. This table is only a guideline.

The power consumption of the Notes display when amber is used is about twice the value
compared to green or red. The power consumption for amber may exceed the power consumption at LED
test if, for example, graphical symbols are shown on the Notes display.

Never use an inverted font on the whole Notes display. To turn on all LEDs or most of them at the
same time may damage the display.

Cable lengths

The following tables should be used as guidelines when you plan an installation. The tables show the
voltage at the Notes displays for different lengths of the cable. The voltage is measured at the Notes
display when the specified numbers of characters are shown.
The voltage at the Notes display must never be under 20 V during normal use and 15 V when a signal is
sent to the external bell.
The cable used in the table is the Qmatic Modular Cable. The power supply is placed close to the
connection box. Only one Notes is connected to the Modular Cable.

There are two cases where the Notes displays must be connected to two Modular Cables.
1 The current to the Notes display is above 1A.
2 The voltage drops below 20 V because of the power loss in the cable.

The selected font and the text shown on the Notes display affect the power consumption of the
Notes display. The tables must not be used as exact values that you can use in your installation, only as
a guideline to help you calculate the numbers of cables you need and the maximum length of the cables.

Display

The Notes display type.

Characters Single Colour

The number of characters in one colour (red or green) that are shown on the Notes display.

Characters Amber

The number of characters using amber (amber = green + red) that are shown on the Notes display.

Bell

An "x" indicates that an external bell is connected to the Notes display.

173.01H Qmatic 41
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

40m, 30m, 20m, 10m, 1m

The length of the Modular Cable. The table shows the voltage at the connector of the Notes display. This
voltage must never be below 20 V during normal use or 15 V when there is a signal to the external bell.

The value is measured when only one Notes display is connected to the same cable.

The use of other cables or other power supplies may result in other values. In such cases we
recommend that you measure the voltage at the Notes display connector to make sure that they get
enough voltage.

42 Qmatic 173.01H
Connecting two power supply cables

Some Notes displays (see the table above) need two cables for power supply. The second cable should
only be connected to the power supply not to the signals. It is possible to use a CS1702 Y 2/1 box for this:

Two power cables connected to one Notes display.

173.01H Qmatic 43
Notes 9 / 16 Series - Reference Manual

Cable running through two stacked Notes displays.

Two power supplies connected to one Notes display

Some Notes displays require more power than can be supplied by one power supply. Two or more units
can be parallel connected if more power is needed.
