13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Unpacking Your Bogen equipment was carefully checked before leaving the factory; inspect the shipping container and unit closely for improper handling. If the unit has been damaged, make an immediate claim to the distributor from whom it was purchased. If the unit was shipped directly to you, save all shipping materials and notify the carrier immediately and place a claim.
Both systems consist of a master control panel (Bogen model MCP35A) and a 25-station room selector panel (Bogen model SBA225) assembled into an attractive wood grain cabinet. Up to 2 more room selector panels can be purchased separately and added by the installer into the SI35A product (PI35A is not expandable).
MCP35A Front Control Panel RELEASE 1. CONSOLE MIC - Used as microphone 1 or in conjunction with the emergency page or press-to-talk/release-to- listen (intercom) push-buttons.This mic is always used for two-way intercom calls, using the green button, and emergency paging using the red button. No external mic can replace the console mic for these functions. 2.
LINE OUT connector (see #7 above). 12. INPUT GAIN - Input level adjustments for all input sources. 13. TELCO PAGE - Alternate input for MIC 2 allows connection of Bogen model WMT1A for providing a 600-ohm balanced telephone input.
SBA225 Speaker Selector Front Panel 1. ROOM SELECTOR SWITCH - Position of the room switch controls the type of audio program material delivered to the room speaker. 2. CALL ANNUNCIATORS - Lights to indicate a room has placed an intercom request from a call switch. 3.
Basic System Operation Communicating With a Selected Speaker Use the following steps to talk and listen to a room that has its switch set to the “C” (down) position. 1. Place the switch of the room that you wish to talk and listen to in the “C” (down) position. Make sure the PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION button MIC 1 is in the out position;...
SBA225 when using a 4-wire system. Note: You must use Bogen connectors for this connection.There are different connectors available for different wire gauges. Refer to the list below to determine the correct connector model number.
MCP35A will monitor this call so that people near the control panel will hear it.Typically the caller will say what room the call is being made from.The room selector switch for that room can then be set for a two way intercom conversation. Voice Call-In Wiring Contact the Bogen Application Engineering Department for information regarding this type of application.
However, it is best to tap the speakers at the lowest acceptable power tap in order to ensure that enough speakers can be connected to the system without overloading the system amplifier. The chart below shows the wire colors and power taps for the T725 transformers used in all Bogen distributed speakers. T 7 2 5...
MCP35A control panel. See the Special Adjustments section for more informa- tion on the jumper change. Below are emergency telco page hook ups for various types of interfaces. The Bogen model WMT1A can be used to convert the TELCO PAGE input to a transformer-balanced, 600-ohm input for telephone paging applications.

The Bogen model TAMB telephone interface module can be used to make a remote page through the telephone system. Note: Jumper J3 on the MCP35A printed circuit board must be set to the TELCO position. See the Special Adjustments section for jumper information.
External Booster Amp An external booster amplifier (Bogen Model BPA60) can be connected when the application requires more than 35 watts. Using an external amplifier disconnects the internal 35W amp of the MCP35A. To install, connect a RCA cable from the MCP35A LINE OUT jack to the Hi-Z input jack on the rear panel of the BPA60 amplifier.
TWK351 Wire Converter The model TWK351 is an adapter used in instances where there is existing 3-wire (2-conductor + shield) room wiring. The TWK351 cannot be used with the SCR25A module. If 3-wire operation using the TWK351 wire converter is desired, CA10A call switches must be used (CA11A Call-In switches will not work in this application).
SCR25A Call-In Module The SCR25A module can be added to allow the annunciator indicators to light from a simple SPST call-in switch (Bogen model CA17). All call-in switches must go back to the SI or PI on separate lines. It will not allow annunciator illumination from parallel connected call-in switches described in the Voice call-in section.The SBA225 module simply pushes onto the...
Make connections as shown in the diagram below. An auxiliary music source, such as the Bogen CR100A Radio/Cassette Player or TP30D Tuner can also be added to the SI35A. Install the component in the appropriate rack panel and make audio connections to the MCP35A AUX input. Use the auxiliary power outlet on the MCP35A to power the auxiliary equipment.
Special Adjustments Gain Adjustments Screwdriver-adjustable INPUT GAIN controls are located on the rear panel for MIC 1, MIC 2, AUX,TEL PAGE, TALK and LISTEN. Set the controls so that signal clipping cannot occur. Proceed as follows: 1. Apply input(s) to the desired channel(s). Set the corresponding front panel control(s) to maximum.
Internal Jumper Selections Internal jumpers are provided for phantom power (Mic1/Mic2),Telco Page/Mic 2 input selection, monitor speaker muting, and privacy tone defeat. Warning: High voltages are present within the MCP35A. The unit should not be operated without covers in place. To change jumpers, unplug the MCP35A and remove it from the enclosure.
If it appears that there is no intercom communication between the unit and a speaker station, the 20-watt intercom ampli- fier inside the MCP35A may be defective. Contact the Bogen Applications Engineering Department for assistance. Caution: Do not attempt to connect a 25V speaker directly to the MCP35A using GND as one of the connecting points.
