Monitored Contact
This interface enables the iPAM400 to monitor the
interface to the contact closure. The contact must
be fitted with 6k8/470R resistors.
A resistance of 7270 ohms indicates inactive (switch
open) and resistance of 470 ohms indicates active
(switch closed). Open and short circuit cable
conditions are thus readily detected by resistance
values outside this range.

Ambient Noise Sensors
Alternatively the analogue inputs can interface to
the ASL Ambient Noise Sensors (ANS) .
The ANS sensors enable the broadcast volume of
any local zone to be adjusted automatically to a level
above the ambient noise level which is present at
the start of an announcement. The broadcast level is
frozen during the announcement.

2.1.2.8.3 BMB01 Digital Outputs
Digital outputs 1 to 12 are active-low open-collector outputs.
These can be configured as ‘Busy Outputs’. Each such output can be configured to correspond to the busy
state of any local audio output or group of outputs when being driven by any local or remote audio input or
group of inputs. In the case of a group of local outputs, it operates as an OR function of the busy state of the
local outputs, i.e. if any of them are busy with any of the selected inputs, then the digital output is driven.
