TYPE ABMA4 USER MANUAL 4 OF 21 Issue: 05

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This document should be read in conjunction with 20-079-12 user’s manual. The intercom type ABMA4

provides the audio communications and pre-start alarm sounding facilities of the PSACS1 system. Intercoms

are distributed along the conveyor at fixed distances apart to provide complete sound coverage along the

conveyor. During a pre-start sequence the intercom sounds the pre-start alarm through its two sideways

facing speakers. These same speakers and the front panel mounted microphone are used to carry out a half

duplex voice conversation with other intercoms on the conveyor or a surface located BMA exchange

operator. Photograph 4 below shows the front panel of a type ABMA4 intercom.

Photograph 1: Intercom type ABMA4 front view.

The intercom type ABMA4 has seven front panel mounted push buttons, a front panel microphone, an LCD

display and two side-mounted speakers to provide the voice communications interface for staff working

along the conveyor belt. The LCD display allows the operator to view operational and maintenance

information about the intercom and the PSACS1 system.

A conversation with another worker along the conveyor belt can be initiated by pressing the local call button

once or several times. The local call button is used to signal or attract the attention of workers along the

conveyor. The local call button can be pressed and released to sound a series of beeps along the conveyor.

The patterns and meaning of these beeps can be used to transmit messages to others along the belt.

The call exchange button is pressed to attract the attention of the BMA exchange operator at the surface.

Once the operator has acknowledged the call further instructions, such as patching requests, can be given

from the intercom.

The voice communications of the PSACS1 system is a half duplex i.e. only one party can speak at a time.

The speak button of the intercom must be pressed whenever the user wishes to speak. It is important to get

used to pressing the speak button just before speaking and releasing it just after finishing speaking. Failure

to control the speak button correctly will result in the beginning or end of a statement being cut off.

Photograph 2: Intercom type ABMA4 rear view

The above photograph shows the rear of the ABMA4 intercom with its battery removed. In the LO position

the battery charge current is 11mA and 22mA in the HI position. Refer to the system drawing for the correct

charge rate for your intercoms. Generally, the HI position is used in systems with short powered segments

and fewer intercoms, the LO position is used in long powered segments with more intercoms.

2. OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

The intercom type ABMA4 has seven front panel mounted push buttons. The main visual difference between

the ABMA4 and other I.S. Intercoms is that the ABMA4 has a LCD graphical display and addition of ‘Menu’,

‘Enter’, ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ keys or push buttons (‘keys’ will be used interchangeably with ‘push buttons’

throughout this document). Another difference is that the ABMA4 has a more powerful micro controller that

allows graphical representation of the state of cable, PSA controller and internal operation of ABMA4.

Photograph 4: ABAM4 Menu Keys

There are three main areas showing the working of ABMA4:

1. Background Operations

2. LCD Generic Graphical Display Mode

3. Configuration and Status Mode

3. BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

These tasks happen no matter what state the graphical display is at. These are as follows:

1. Detection of PSA (Pre-Start Alarm)

2. Detection of Speech for Speaker Mute Control

3. Detection of Low R-Line Voltage

4. Pressing of SPEAK key

5. Switching between Sleep and Deep Sleep modes

6. Watchdog kicks

1. Detection of PSA

The unit continuously detects for a PSA paired tone signal on both the V-line and S-line. The V-line is the

audio signal from the PSA Controller and the S-line is a return signal from end termination unit or Tail End

Unit (TEU). TEU (such as TEU100) returns the signal with the tone frequency divided by eight. The following

frequency pairs are detected on the V-line:

1. 1500Hz alternating with 1800Hz @ 0.4mS cadence

2. 1400Hz alternating with 1700Hz @ 0.2mS cadence

3. 1300Hz alternating with 1900Hz @ 0.8mS cadence

The AMBA4 units check for cadence as well as frequency tones pair for a PSA confirmation. The cadence

period need to be present for at least three quarters of the cadence for each frequency pairs for detection.

For example, a 1500Hz and 1700Hz is an in-correct pair. The frequency and cadence ensures a false PSA

I.S. INTERCOM 20-278-12

TYPE ABMA4 USER MANUAL 7 OF 21 Issue: 05

trigger does not occur say in PTT action when someone or a machine is whistling or creating noise near

these PSA frequencies.

On detection of the PSA, the unit will wake up the display if asleep and show flashing ticks (√) in a PSA loop.

The flashing indicates that the PSA is occurring.

Figure 1: Confirmed PSA Loop

If the ABMA4 sees only an S-line return signal then the V-line will have a cross (X) in the PSA loop and tick

(√) in the S-line (see table 2 for more explanation below). The flashing of the ticks (√) continue for a small

period after the PSA tone has disappeared to ensure the user sees any PSA changes.

When a PSA event occurs, the Speakers output will go to maximum volume on the first tone of the frequency

pair immediately that it detects a correct PSA frequency. This is so the user has the maximum opportunity to

hear PSA tone at the earliest possible time even before a PSA tone pair has been confirmed by AMBA4.

2. Detection of Speech for Speaker Mute Control

On detection of speech because someone has pressed the SPEAK key and is speaking above the mute

level or squelch levels the speakers are turned on and will remain on for 3 seconds after speech has

stopped. This is to give the speakers some hysteresis so talking does not pop in and out.

3. Detection of Low R-Line Voltage

If the R-line is weak and falls below 6 Volts then a warning message is displayed if in the Generic mode on

the LCD screen. If it remains low, the then unit will fall into a deep sleep to conserve power, all background

functions, and LCD display will stop. This mode should only be used to store units on the store shelves. If in

‘deep-sleep’ the unit can be, awaken up by holding down the ‘Menu’ key for three seconds. If the R-line is

removed, the warning message ‘ZERO’ will be displayed beneath R-line Bar graph.

4. Pressing of SPEAK key

On pressing of the SPEAK key (a press to talk, ‘PTT’ action) the unit will wake up momentary if asleep and

display ‘SPEAK’ in the message text box on the Generic mode of the LCD screen. The ABMA4 will turn off

speakers and turn on the microphone. The unit will return to sleep mode as soon as Speak key is release.

5. Switching between Sleep and Deep Sleep modes

To save battery power when not in use, the ABMA4 goes to sleep when no keys are pressed after 30

seconds. The unit is woken when a PSA occurs (for only 8seconds), SPEAK (for only 1 second) or any of the

menu keys are pressed (30 seconds). The unit is not woken for ‘Call Exchange’ or ‘Call Local’ keys. These

just signal directly to the PSA controller. Sleep consists of turning off the LCD display and backlight. The unit

is still very active doing all other background tasks listed above.

The other mode is ‘Deep Sleep’. This should not occur in the field (see ‘Detection of Low R-Line Voltage’

in previous section above). Deep sleep mode is to save battery shelf life. In an emergency or on the test

bench to confirm operations, you can wake the ABMA4 from deep sleep either by pressing the ‘Menu’ key for

three seconds, adding power to the R-line or pressing ‘SPEAK’ key.

The activation from ‘Deep Sleep’ mode when the ‘SPEAK’ key is pressed (without PSA R-line power) is for

an emergency when you need to speak to other ABMA4 intercoms to attract attention. If the other ABMA4

intercoms have R-line power then the system will work as normal until the unit that has no R-line battery runs

flat. If all other ABMA4 units are in ‘Deep Sleep’ as well, they will only monitor for speech every few seconds,

upon the detection of which they will awake and turn speakers on. Thus in ‘Deep Sleep’ mode you need to

speak for longer than one second before the ABMA4 will open their speakers. This assumes there is enough

battery power in the units, which would be true for the case for a power-outage of a few days or weeks.

6. Watchdog kicks

‘Watchdog’ is a background task that continuously monitors for tasks that have locked up (i.e. stopped). If

the task stops for more than 10 seconds, then it is kicked and the unit resets.

4. GENERIC DISPLAY DECRIPTION

When the unit powers up after going through the Austdac logo and version information, the Generic (default)

graphical mode is displayed on the LCD as seen below:

Figure 2: LCD Generic View

The LCD display is separated into three sections using bars. The top left shows battery health and speaker

volume state. Right of the bar shows external health of interface to PSA controller. The left bottom shows a

message box area for display messages such as ‘SPEAK’ when the SPEAK key is pressed.

Table 2: Top Right Generic Icons

The ‘PSA Loop’ icon flashes when a PSA test is occurring and shows that a change in state may happen.

The flashing will occur a few second after PSA to ensure the user notices any changes especially if it is a

short PSA.

A partly working PSA loop can happen if there is an S-line connection fault or V-line connection fault. If both

lines have a fault, then the unit cannot see the PSA controller and will display an un-tested PSA icon.

See System Test section below.

Text Box

The text box area of the screen provides the user with text information referring to the operation of AMBA4.

For example, it displays ‘SPEAK’ when the speak key is pressed or ‘LOW LINE VOLTAGE’ when the R-line

voltage is low.

5. CONFIGURATION MENU DESCRIPTION

While in Generic Display mode (see Figure 2), pressing the ‘Menu’ key will get the following menu options:

Figure 3: Menu Options

Each Configuration menu option provides either more detailed status information or the ability to change

settings in the ABMA4. To ‘Exit’ the menu display mode, press ‘Menu’. The ‘Menu’ key toggles you in and

out of the Configuration and Generic display modes. To enter a menu option (eg. ‘Battery’) you press the

‘Enter’ key. To move between menu options press the up (⇑) or down (⇓) keys.

Battery Menu

This menu shows the health of battery status.

Figure 4: Battery Menu View

The figure 4 above, shows battery voltage in volts and charge current in mA units. The battery voltage

should be around 4.6 to 5.6Volts and the current between 0mA and 25mA maximum, depending on the

charge state of the battery.

To exit this menu, press either ‘Menu’ or ‘Enter’ key.

Comms Line

This menu shows the health of the interface to the PSA controller.

Figure 5: Comms Line View

Figure 5 gives a reading of the R-line voltage and PSA loop status. As in Generic mode, the PSA loop shows

the health of the V and S lines to the PSA controller in this menu. In addition, in this menu you have time and

confirmation of the last PSA. If ‘Cnfrm:’ has ‘Y’ next to, then directly above it will have the time in hh:mm:ss

since the last PSA was confirmed. If ‘Cnfrm: has ‘N’ next to it then PSA has not been confirmed and no time

will be displayed. The maximum number of hours recorded since last PSA confirm is 99hrs, which is 4 Days

and 3 hours.

To exit this menu press either ‘Menu’ or ‘Enter’ key.

Setting

This menu shows the current setting or configuration setting that can be made in the ABMA4:
