and puts the zone into a standby state.

chimes in a drop-down list. Available options are:
• Sources: 1 through 8 on the AD-1616.
• Doorbell 1: A generic audio chime sound that can be activated using an
external trigger via the API or control interfaces.
• Doorbell 2: A second generic audio chime sound that can be activated using
an external trigger via the API or control interfaces. Useful in large residences/
facilities with more than one point of entry and doorbell ringer.

Doorbell 1 or 2 is triggered. Useful for zones that need to be notied when
any Doorbell ringer is triggered.
Secondary Mode
This option sets the operating mode for the secondayr source. Use this feature
to set how the secondary source interacts with the primary source when it is
activated, or audio is detected.
• Priority: When audio on the secondary source is detected, it will take priority
over the primary source completely, eectively muting the primary source
and outputting secondary source only.
• Mix: Both the primary source and secondary source are concurrently active,
summing their signals together. The summed audio can have its volume
adjusted using the setting in the next section.
• Auto-Ducking: When this mode is active, the auto-ducking parameters set in
the advanced source settings will take eect, eectively lowering the primary
audio volume to allow the secondary source to take focus when audio is
detected and meets the threshold parameters.

This option sets the operational state of a secondary source for a particular zone.
This function is provided as an easy means to disable and enable the availability
of the secondary source.
• Enable: Enables Secondary Source.
