INTRODUCTION

Safety Information

Cloud PM paging microphones operate from a low DC voltage, supplied by either an

AC adaptor or the Cloud host device to which the microphone is connected.As such,

the microphone requires few safety precautions.

However, note that both the metal base of the unit and the mic gooseneck will be

electrically connected to the chassis of the host device (e.g., Cloud zoner or mixer/

amplier) once the installation is carried out. This means that if the mains wiring of

the host device and/or the building is faulty, the microphone could present a shock

hazard. Fitting a suitable earth leakage circuit breaker (e.g., 30 mA RCD type) to the

mains supply of the host device can provide additional protection.

Conformities

This product conforms to the following European EMC Standards:

BS EN 55103-1:2009

BS EN 55103-2:2009

This product has been tested for use in commercial and light industrial environments.

If the equipment is used in controlled EMC environments, the urban outdoors, heavy

industrial environments or close to railways, transmitters, overhead power lines etc.,

the performance of the unit may be degraded.

This product conforms to the following European electrical safety Standard:

BS EN 60065:2002

Overview

Thank you for purchasing this Cloud PM paging microphone.

Six models of the PM are available:

•The PM4, PM8, PM12 and PM16 are Digital Paging Microphones able to page to 4,

8, 12 or 16 zones respectively.

•The PM4-SA and PM8-SA are Digital Paging Microphones with built-in Message

Announcer capability.They can page, or send messages to 4 or 8 zones

respectively.

Physically, the PM4, PM8, PM12 and PM16 differ only in the number of zone select

buttons on the front panel, and consequently in the maximum of zones supported.

The PM4-SA is similar in operation to the PM4, but the front panel has an additional

4 buttons for the Message Announcer feature, and thus resembles the PM-8 in

appearance. Similarly, the PM8-SA has 8 more buttons than the PM8, and thus

resembles the PM16 in appearance.

PM models include the following basic features:

•Individual and multiple zone selection for both paging and messages (messages

apply to SA models only)

•External NC/NO message triggering (SA models only)

•Denable zone groups with group selection

•‘TALK’ (‘TALK/SEND’ on SA model) and ‘CALL ALL’ buttons

•Pre-paging chime with internal chime sounder

•‘BUSY’ LED

•Congurable two-layer paging priority system

•Auto zone reset after paging and zone disable

•Suitable for free-standing or wall mounted operation

The PM is designed to interface directly with recent Cloud products - such as the

DCM-1 - via the Cloud Digital Paging Interface, which uses standard CAT-5 cable and

RJ45 connectors. It is also provided with an “analogue” interface, permitting it to be

used with any other audio system equipped with ‘short-to-ground’ paging access for

selecting the zone(s) to be paged.This includes the following current* Cloud products:

•Z4II and Z8II Venue Mixers

•CX163 and CX263 Mixers

•36/50 and 46/50 Integrated Mixer Ampliers

*Other, older Cloud products may also be compatible; please contact Cloud’s Technical Department for

advice.

PM4/8/12/16 & PM4/8-SA Installation and User Guide v1.1

Multiple PMs may be interconnected (via the Digital Paging Interface) to permit

paging from more than one location.A total cable run of up 1 km is permissible, with

a maximum of 32 PM units. Different models of PM may be intermixed on a single

network. It is also possible to congure a PM to address only a subset of the available

zones.

The PM is also compatible with the older Cloud CDPM range of digital paging

microphones. PM microphones and CDPM microphones may be freely intermixed on

the Digital Paging Interface.

Scope of this manual

The bulk of this manual is intended to guide you through the installation and

conguration of the PM. Sections of the manual cover aspects such as power

requirements, connecting the unit to various types of host mixer, and conguring

the PM to suit the particular requirements of the installation.These sections will be

adequate for situations where there is only a single PM.A separate section covers

the various additional points that need to be considered when multiple PMs are

interconnected on a network.

The manual covers both standard PM microphones and the SA models, which include

a digital sound store for pre-recorded messages.The installation and operation of

the two models is similar in many respects; nevertheless there are some important

differences between the models.These include the additional wiring needed if the

stored messages are to be triggered externally, and the internal PCB layout and

jumper locations.

The sections of the manual which are specic to the PM4/8-SA are clearly indicated

by the use of a this icon

Wherever the term “PM” is used in this manual, the text can be taken to apply to all

models (both SA and non-SA) of the microphone. Similarly, the term ‘TALK’ can be

taken to correspond with the term ‘TALK/SEND’ on the SA model.

The procedures for mounting a PM on a wall and changing the standard gooseneck

mic for a shorter one are also described.

In addition to the installation aspects, a User Section includes a simplied

description of the PM’s operation; it is recommended that installers should

photocopy this section (or download a PDF copy of this manual from the Cloud

website and print the section off), and leave a copy for the operator.
