1. Compatibility is used to set the audio parameter to make the X-DCS2000/EN work normally
with the X-DCS3000 in the same system. If it is necessary to use X-DCS2000/EN in the
system, users need to select “Compatible with X-DCS2000/EN”. Choose “Only X-DCS3000”
will cause fault broadcast on X-DCS2000/EN when the system is playing audio resource of X-
NPMS and X-DCS3000.
2. The net package sizes of X-DCS3000 and X-NPMS are 2KB or 4KB. The network broadcast
delay of 2KB size is 50msec; however, the broadcast delay of 4KB size is 100msec. X-
DCS2000/EN, X-NRI and X-NPMI only support 4KB net package size. Therefore, choose 4KB
net package size when use above devices, or some audio will not be broadcasted normally.
On the other hand, 2KB net package size is better for X-DCS3000 and X-NPMS.
3. Remark information like project name, company, contact and telephone need to be filled in
according to requirements, which will not affect system performance. If X-NPMS is used in the
system, the project name will be displayed in X-NPMS standby screen.

registers in the NRI. Each DCS corresponds to 1 status register and 1 control register. And the
numbers of each module corresponding the control register and status register have to be set. The
total control register numbers cannot be more than 32, so do the status register. Besides, the
corresponding setting of LPI-ModBus has to be done. The setting method, please refer to LPI-
ModBus converter User’s Manual.
Note:
If the fire alarm interface of NRI is enabled, the fire alarm interface of DCS has to select Network-

shown below:
Through the software, users can respectively enable or disable fault supervisions for the AC power,
DC power, Communication. The icon means enable and means disable.
3． Linkage
Linkage is used to set the fire alarm linkage function for NRI. Enable to set the zones are linked by
each contact input, as shown below:
One column corresponds to one contact input, according to the fire alarm interface setting
foregoing, the contact inputs can be the dry contact input signal, or the fire signal send from the fire
alarm system through LPI-ModBus.
One page can display up to 32 contact inputs, users can select the other pages through clicking
the drop - down list. One low corresponds to one zone; drag the scroll bar to view more contents.
For example, as shown above, the contact inputs 1~8 respectively relate with zone1~zone8 of
DCS2, and give an alarm in the ±1 adjacent zones.
There are some setting tools in the upper right:

Click icon or icon, and then click the zones’ cells to set to be related by the contact input.
Use the clear tools can cancel the setting.
Note:
When communicate with fire alarm system through, the devices in the same group can linkage with
each other.
Fire alarm relation setting should be consistent with task setting. If only the evacuation task is set
in a fire, only the evacuation zones need to be set in the fire alarm relation view, the alert setting is
invalid.
If DCS works in B mode and automatic emergency broadcast can be evacuation audio and alert
audio, it is recommended that each contact input linkage 2 zones which correspond to the same
power amplifier channel at the same time, if the 2 zones respectively broadcast evacuation audio
and alert audio, the evacuation audio first.
