1 X-DCS2000/EN Operations Guide
The X-DCS2000/EN Digital Integrated System Manager is hereinafter referred to as the “DCS” or
“X-DCS2000/EN”.
The X-DCS2000/EN is a broadcasting control device that expands broadcasting zones and
supports multiple sound sources. The X-DCS2000/EN integrates with functions such as the sound
source file storage system, network audio broadcasting system, the loudspeaker zone control
system, and the system for monitoring and diagnosing faults. The DCS integrates well and is easily
configured.
Mainly describes the basic operations and precautions of the DCS system.
Fault Confirmation
When the system detects a fault, a failure warning tone is heard.
Press the FAULT button to confirm the fault. The warning tone stops, and the fault indicator light
turns orange.
System Self-Test
The DCS self-test function is activated by pressing the TEST button on the front panel. Operation
steps involve the following:
1. Press the TEST button to activate the self-test function for the DCS and equipment connected
to the system.
All of the indicator lights that display just one color are turned on. All of the lights that can
display two colors switch back and forth between these two colors. The fault indication buzzer
rings continuously.
2. Press the TEST button again to stop the self-test program.
Note:
The self-test function does not affect the normal operation of other functions unrelated to the
self-test function. For example, if the self-test function is initiated during voice broadcasting,
the voice broadcast function is not interrupted and the all indicator lights will flicker.
The system times out in one minute by default. If the self-test function occurs for a
minute without being manually halted, the system automatically stops the self-test function.

Zone Selection
A zone is selected by pressing the button that represents the zone. Press the selected zone button
again to deselect the zone.
Press the ALL button on the DCS front panel to select all zones, and press this button again to
deselect them.
Note:
Only the enabled zones which have been set in the Config software are selectable.
Zone Monitoring
The DCS can monitor sound being broadcast in certain zones. Perform the following steps to
monitor sound being broadcast in particular zones:
1. Press and hold to the MONITOR button until the following step 2 has finished.
2. Select the needed zone to be monitored. The monitoring loudspeaker plays the sound being
broadcast in the selected zone.
The DCS can only monitor one zone, and the system automatically cancels the previous zone
that has been selected if another zone is selected. Repeat the above operations can monitor
the other zones.
3. Press the MONITOR button again to stop zone monitoring.
Volume Control
Note:
Note that the No, of the zone button is the power amplifier audio channel No,
The sound volume of the power amplifier channels is adjusted by pressing combinations of buttons
simultaneously, as shown in Table 1.

2 X-DA1500EN/DA2250EN/DA4125EN Operations
Guide
The X-DA1500EN/DA2250EN/DA4125EN High Efficiency Power Amplifier is referred to as “DA”
throughout the remainder of this manual.
The DA amplifies audio signal power it receives from audio input devices to maintain clarity and
volume when broadcast over many speakers.
Precautions
When using the DA, pay particular attention to the following issues.
Notice:
Make sure all cables are connected properly before turning on the DA.
Pay particular attention to which audio input source is selected and configure the output signal
level appropriately, as this can save electricity.
Do not connect the grounding output cable with the grounding input cable as this causes a short
circuit to occur.
Warning!
Do not alter the circuit board or schematic diagram.
When the CLIP indicator light is flashing red, immediately reduce the audio volume. If peak clipping
occurs for too long, the DA could be damaged.
If the audio signal or peak clipping signal is too high, the speakers could be damaged.

3 NPM Operations Guide
The NPM has features including an interactive touch panel, the ability to configure preset
broadcasting programs, zone paging, broadcast monitoring, and a full duplex intercom function.
The NPM is also capable of paging and controlling broadcasts on zones throughout the X-618
system.
Note:
The system administrators have the necessary privileges required to set and modify the
password in the X-618 Config software, but Operators cannot. The maximum length of the
password is 8 characters. If the password is empty, the enter password interface will not
display.

4 X-NRI/EN Operations Guide
The X-NRI/EN is an external interface expansion control equipment in X-618 to meet the common
interface requirements of the broadcasting system. It includes 4 auxiliary inputs that can connect to
external audio sources, and 1 built-in audio source. All the audio sources broadcasted through an
Ethernet network.
The X-NRI/EN Network Resource Interface is referred to as “NRI” throughout the remainder of this
manual.
Mainly describes the basic operations and relevant precautions of the NRI.
Precautions
It’s better to operate the NRI by the control device than operate it directly.
When using the NRI, pay particular attention to the following issues.
Notice:
Make sure all cables are connected properly before turning on the NRI.
Pay particular attention to which audio input source is selected and configure the output signal
level appropriately, as this can determine the maximum input signal below the threshold, and keep
the signal not to distort.
