Primary + Secondary Mic modes are perfect for controlling hierarchal microphone feeds such as simple paging announcements. Emergency mode is for use with 3rd party systems in emergency situations and mutes all inputs except MIC 1 on alarm contact closure. Jukebox mode provides a priority line input to the system for pre-recorded announcements or programme material such as Sports channels.

Installer Selectable Modes
PL-14 REMOTE CONTROL
• Rotary Volume control with four source select switches.
• Optional PL-5 IR remote control
• Connection via standard Cat5e cabling.
• RJ45 Link through connector for adding additional controllers (Maximum of two).
• Three versions to suit UK, EU or US standard front panels.
The PL-14 is an ‘intelligent’ remote controller for use with the Allen & Heath GR4 audio zone mixers. It provides the non-technical operator with local control of the music source selection and/or audio level.
Up to two controllers may be connected, just one, one for each zone, or a single unit to simultaneously control both zones. A menu of setup options allows the installer to configure its function to match the specific requirements of each application. Additional switches may be wired for room combining situations and to disable the controller when the settings should not be changed.
The optional PL-5 hand held infra-red remote controller adds wireless control, and additional features including the store and recall of up to 4 source/level pre-sets.
The PL-14 can be mounted into a single unit wall box using the standard face plate provided, or furniture mounted using the cutting template details given here. It interfaces with the GR3/4 using standard CAT5 cables. The second controller daisy chains with the first for convenient single run cabling. Space is provided on the panel for custom labelling.
