Step 3: Connecting the PageFirst sensor to the Topcat
The sensor needs to be hard-wired back to the Topcat.
a. Insert the euro-block connector of the wire into the PageFirst input jack on
the Topcat. Secure with a screw driver by tightening the screw on the left
and right sides of the terminals. (Figure 2.3)
b. Route the wire from the Topcat to the paging speaker. NOTE: when routing
wire, make sure to secure to the building structure, as electrical and building
codes require.
c. Connect the pigtail of the sensor clip to the length of wire, using the
provided wire nuts. Coil and secure excess wire as needed. NOTE: wire can
be cut and stripped to the appropriate length if necessary.
Step 4: Testing PageFirst
A page will need to be broadcast through the system to verify PageFirst is
properly sensing the audio signal.
a. Turn on the system and begin speaking.
b. Broadcast a page through the central paging system.
c. The Topcat should mute as the page is broadcast. When the broadcast is
over, the Topcat should amplify the mic as normal.
d. While walking around the room, continue talking into the microphone.
Verify that the system is not muting during times there is no page being
broadcast.
Step 5: Adjusting the Sensitivity
a. Locat the sensitivity adjustment inside the Topcat. The sensitivity adjustment
(labeled “ADJ”) is pre-set to the 9 o’clock position. This should be the
appropriate setting for the majority of installations.
b. If the system does not mute while the page is being broadcast, turn the
sensitivity adjustment up by turning the ADJ knob clockwise and test again.
c. If the system mutes during times when a page is not being broadcast, turn
the sensitivity down by turning the ADJ knob counterclockwise, and test
again.
d. If the system experiences dropout, turn the sensitivity down by turning the
ADJ knob counterclockwise, and test again.
