external 24VDC power supply like the PS24 and connect it on a 4-way euroblock connector respecting
the polarity.

1.4 System Overview

This paragraph intend to briefly described the main DIVA properties.

1.4.1 General

The DIVA8M module unit houses: audio digital processing (DSP), a matrix, a digital message player, a
fully monitored fireman microphone, amplifiers monitoring with switchover to backup amplifier and
loudspeaker lines monitoring. It can process and route one PSSxxDT security microphone console or
up to eight cascaded PSM paging microphones and two 0 dB audio inputs into 2 different channels
(Music + Voice). Each input is fitted with volume controls and equalizers. The two audio inputs feature
contact and VOX activation (ideal when using the cordless microphone, for example).

1.4.2 Audio

There are 5 audio inputs. Two are 0 dB line inputs for tuner, cd player, etc. One gain adjustable
MIC/LINE inputs for using a third 0 dB source or an external microphone. One input for PSS or PSM
microphone and one fireman microphone input. Built in DIVA8M, a front panel fireman microphone
input that is fully monitored.

There are eight monitored loudspeaker zones (A+B) feed by two amplifier channel Voice and Music.

1.4.3 Connectivity

The DIVA master is designed to be networked with slave DIVA on RS485 using CAT5 cables. The
DIVA master is connected to the computer upon Ethernet protocol. Third party control can be
achieved via the RS232.

Adding slave increase the number of zone as well as input/output contacts.

1.4.4 System Configuration

The DIVA8M/S configuration is done with the DIVA Windows® based graphical design and operating
environment software. This is an all in one software with configurable option for each DIVA’s features.

1.4.5 System Control

The DIVA software allows user to real-time control features like PEQs, filtering, level adjustment. But
DIVA has also been defined to be a standalone device once configured. The front panel offers controls
like, zone selection, music routing, zone attenuator knob, message launching buttons and different
indicators LED.

• Do not expose the DIVA to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, humidity, or dust, which

could cause fire or electrical shock hazard.

• Keep away water or other liquids from the DIVA. Otherwise fire or electrical shock may result.

• Connect the power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as

marked on the unit. Otherwise fire and electrical shock hazard results.

• When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet always grab the plug. Never pull the

cord. A damaged power cord is a potential risk of fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Avoid touching power plugs with wet hands. Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.

• Take care for correct polarity when operating the DIVA from a DC power source. Reversed

polarity may cause damage to the unit or the batteries.

• Avoid placing heavy objects on power cords. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical

shock hazard.

• Do not cut, scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire

and electrical shock hazard. Ask your ATEÏS dealer for replacement.

• Turn off immediately the unit, remove the power cord from the AC outlet and consult your

ATEÏS dealer in any of the following circumstances:

• Smoke, odor, or noise getting out of the unit.

• Foreign objects or liquids get inside the DIVA.

• The unit has been dropped or the shell is damaged.

• The power cord is damaged.

If you continue using the DIVA, fire and electrical shock may result.

• Do not drop or insert metallic objects or flammable materials into the unit as this may result in

fire and electrical shock.

• Do not remove the DIVA's cover, as there are exposed parts inside carrying high voltages that

may cause an electrical shock. Contact your ATEÏS dealer if internal inspection, maintenance,
or repair is necessary.

• Do not try to make any modifications to the DIVA. This is a potential fire and electrical shock

hazard.

• Avoid the DIVA's ventilation slots to be blocked. Blocking the ventilation slots is a potential fire

hazard.

• To prevent the unit from falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage,

avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations.

• Leave enough space above and below the unit to provide good ventilation of the DIVA. If the

airflow is not adequate, the DIVA will heat up inside and may cause a fire.

• Operate the DIVA in an environment with a free-air temperature of between 0 °C and 40 °C

(32 °F and 104 °F).

• Turn off all audio equipment when making any connections to the DIVA, and make sure to use

adequate cables.

5 DIVA Philosophy

Before going any further, the philosophy of DIVA have to be exposed. This chapter will be split in three
parts:

• Front Panel

• Software

• Events

5.1 Front Panel

The DIVA front panel have been made for basic controls operation as well as to define basic settings.
Some features of the front can be disabled in case of advanced configuration.

The Front Panel is designed to start three different messages, toggle between two music sources or
none, zone selection and Fireman Microphone call, access different menus
attenuation for each speakers zone.

5.2 Software

The DIVA software is designed to perform a complete configuration as well as to real time control
some parameters.

Security Option:

The Security option is common to all event type. If the security option is selected, this event will be
able to be started when DIVA has entered the security mode.

This mode have been created to enter a power safe mode in case of power supply failure, in order to
save energy when supply by emergency battery. This mode is automatically launched when using
External Fault Inputs.

Zone Selection:

In many event you will be able to choose some pre-defined zones. Here is the zone selector display
and explanation.

From Left to right and up to down
Master 1: correspond to your project name (master unit plus slave ones)

o All: selects all zones of master and slave(s) units

Master: means master unit

o All: selects all zone of the master unit
o 1-8: allows to select independently zone 1 to 8 from a master and/or slave unit

Cancel All and Coexist options

The Cancel All and Coexist options have been created to manage conflict when two events use a
common zone.

The higher priority event always overwrite the lowest priority event in the common zone. But regarding
to the option chosen, the behaviour is different.

8.18.2 Event Sequence

You can define multiple events by accessing the event window (menu “View -> Event”). In this
window, all the existing event are listed. You can add/delete events.

Before adding a new event, choose in the “Event Type” drop-down menu the desire event’s type. Click
on the new event then “Edit” to be able to set up parameters for this new event.

You can declare event with the same action, like playing a message (even playing the same
message). You just have to give them different names.

The event can be cascaded. An explanation diagram is visible on the next figure.

An action like closing a contact could induce to start an event. But the first event, as soon as it will be
finished or stopped could launch an other event. The second event could activate the start of a third
event, and so on.

In each event edit page, there is a next event drop down menu, see below. In this menu you will be
able to choose between all the existing events.

Events could also be looped. The diagram on figure below explains it visually.

According to the looping event diagram, when selecting next event for “Event 2”, choose “Event 1”. As
soon as you select a event that is before in the chain, a new “Circular Times” selector is visible just
beside the next event drop-down menu (see below). This selector permits to define how many time the
events’ loop will be repeat or to make it continuously repeating.

This is a quick way to loop different language evacuation messages for example.

• Zone Selector: allows to select each zone one by one or a group of zones

• All Call: instantaneously select all zone

• Attenuator: sets an attenuation for a zone

To assigned a music source to a zone, please follow the next steps:

• Select zone(s) where you want to route music

• With the select button, choose which mu sic source will be routed to the selected zone(s)

• Press the Route button in order to validate the selections

Note: You can independently route music source 1 and music source 2.
To disable music in zone(s):

o Select zone(s)
o With the select button choose none (no Source LED are lit)
o Press the Route button to validate selections

Music Source
Selection Buttons
and I ndicato

For each zone, you can set an attenuation. The attenuation are from 0dB to -20dB. Note: if two music
sources are used, keep in mind that attenuator will only have effect on only one of them (music 1).
This is due to the fact that the amplifier used for the music source 2 is the one dedicated for voice call.

s

8.21.2 With Modulation Detection

The modulation detection mode allows to automatically route music sources in case of signal
presence. You can set up both source one and two in modulation detection as well as only one
source.

The normal use of this options is to set up one source in permanent mode and the other one in
modulation detection (example tuner in permanent and CD player in mod.det.). Keep in mind that in
that mode, the music front panel buttons are disable.

Ateïs International
Ch. du Dévent, 1024 Ecublens, Switzerland.
Phone : [phone]

88

In order to use the modulation detection, tick the Modulation Detection option for the source you want
to use that way. Once the option selected, you will have access to detection settings:

• Threshold (dB):

The threshold setting will set the trigger point for activation of the music source. If the
threshold is set to -10 dB, the music source activation will take place when the signal received
from that source will be over -10 dB.

• Attack Time (ms):

The Attack time can be understood like the amount of time that the signal have to be over the
threshold point before music source will be activated. A correct setting of the attack time can
avoid inopportune activation of the music source (peak signal activation). The Attack time can be set
from 0 ms to 5000 ms.

• Release Time (ms):

As opposed to the Attack time, the Release time is the amount of time for which the signal
have to stay under the threshold point before deactivation of the music sources. A correct Release
Time can avoid inopportune deactivation of the music source (blank in CD). The release time can be
set from 0 ms to 5000 ms.

Setting those parameter correctly needs some experience, so be careful and please test it to learn
more about the behaviour of this option.

Once your modulation detection parameters are adjusted, you have to edit the advance setting for the
music sources, please refer to the Us e Music Source

general chapter.

8.21.3 In Permanent Mode

In Permanent mode, the music sources are set once and cannot be manage anymore from front
panel. However, real-time controls are still useable. To change the sources routing, you will have to
change the DIVA configuration.

In permanent mode, you only have to Edit the music sources parameters, see this

when setting priority for both music sources. Same priority for the two music sources can
result in conflict.

. Note: be carful

8.21.4 From PSS

The PSS microphone is able to operate on music sources. In order to do so, you have to define PSS
keys to suit your need. See How To Use PSS Microphone

Note: Routing music from the PSS can only be operated if the music source mode is Route
Key.

source and zone selection.

• Music Level +/ Music Level -

From the PSS you can create keys to control the music sources level. The Key c reated that
way is affiliated to one source. So for Controlling both sources level, you will have to create four
keys, two for source one and two for source two.

Example 1: procedure to route music source 1 to zone 2, 4 and 6 and music source 2 to zone 3, 5
and 7

• Create "Zone Selection" key type for zone 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Named them accordingly

• Create a "ROUTE" key
