Relay outputs:
Inadditiontothestandardaudiooutputs,theM2alsocontains 8 relay outputs.Eachof
theserelayscontainnormallyclosed(NC)andnormallyopen(NO)contactswhichcanbe
connectedusingTerminal Block connectors.
Theserelayscanbetriggeredautomatically when a paging message is announcedfor
acertainzone,whenapriority signal or contact occurs,atpredefined timer scheduled
momentsorbypushing freely programmable buttons on a paging console.

Contact inputs:
Atotalof10 contact inputsareprovided,whichcanbeusedfortriggeringalldifferent
kindsofactionsandeventsbyasimple contact closure.Someexamplesoftriggerable
actionsare ‘Scenes’ selection, Output zones linking, priority actions triggering,

terminalpinstoeachother.
Priority inputs:
Two balanced priority audio inputsarefeaturedusing3-PinsTerminal Block
connectors.ThesepriorityaudioinputsacceptbothLineandMicrophonelevelsignals

Peripheral interface connectors:
Atotalof10 Peripheral interface connectorsarepresent,providedwithRJ45
connectors.ThisallowsexpansionofthesystemwithperipheralunitssuchasWallPanel
