Safety Declartion	13

2Safety Declartion

Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, humidity, or dust, which could cause fire or electrical shock hazard.

Keep away water or other liquids from the device. 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 device 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 device.

The unit has been dropped or the shell is damaged.

The power cord is damaged.

If you continue using the device, 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 device'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 device. This is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.

Avoid the device's ventilation slots to be blocked. Blocking the ventilation slots is a potential fire hazard.

14 Ateis Studio

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

Operate the device 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 device, and make sure to use adequate cables.

Do not use benzene, thinner, or chemicals to clean the device. Use only a soft, dry cloth.

If the device is moved from a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car) to a warmer environment, condensation may form inside the unit, which may affect performance. Allow the device to acclimatize for about one hour before use.

3Quick Start

3.1for IDA8

Here is a simple demonstration showing how to configure one of our platforms and how to adjust parameters to get a 2K tone from the connected speaker. This example uses an IDA8C, but the other audio processors follow the same procedure.

1. Setup device and wiring

Speaker is connect to Amplifier Zone Output(Zone1).

© 2012 ATEÏS

Quick Start	15

Connect ethernet wire for device and PC.IDA8C. 2. Power up device

Power up device and make sure power LED is on. 3. Set IP, Subnet mask and gateway address of device

To set IP, Subnet mask and Gateway address, use the menu on the touch screen on the front of the IDA8C. If you are using a platform that does not have a touch screen, use the other method to setup, see the related topics of it. In this case, set IP = 192.168.100.79.

The subnet mask and geteway address should be the same as computer's. You can find information from cmd window:

Type "ipconfig" in cmd window:

After execute command "ipconfig" IP/Subnet Mask/Gateway information is displayed in window, inside the green rectangle:

In IDA8C, IP/Subnet Mask/Gateway allow modify if user login the system. Follow the steps to login: Click [SYSTEM SET] in [MAIN MENU] page:

16 Ateis Studio

Click [LOGIN] in [SYSTEM SET MENU-1] page:

Click [USER NAME] in [LOGIN] page:

Input ID "ADMIN" which is the default user of IDA8C. Remain the blank of password.

Quick Start	17

A page showing the message to prompt login is success:

Go back to [SYSTEM SET MENU-2] page, click [ETHERNET]

There are three field: [IP ADDRESS], [SUBMASK] and [GATEWAY]. Click for each to setup.

You need to reboot device take effect.

4.Install Ateis Studio

5.Run Ateis Studio

6.Network settings of Ateis Studio

If there are more than one network interface card on PC, it need to select which one is used to connect to device.

To open the window for network interface card, click main menu of Ateis Studio [View > Device Management]

Quick Start	19

There are three pages on the right side of window, select [Network] page. Choose the right network interface card on NIC field which is labeled using red rectangle.

If UDP port is conflict with the other software, change to other number.

7. Search devices

Go to [Devices] page, and press [Search] button:

4.1.1IDA8C

4.1.1.1Overview

IDA8C Controller unit enables operators to see a detailed overview of the operational status of the entire PA system with a single push button. IDA8C Controller unit is able to run an impedance scan of all components connected to it, covering not only the input paging consoles but including connectors, cabling, processing blocks such as compressors and limiters, delay lines and the network and loudspeakers. It stores a reference measurement of the system as it exists in a given configuration and environment. This reference is subsequently stored in the system. Any alterations to this reference will be reported and are logged in an event log file. User definable thresholds can be applied to these references, allowing for customization to match circumstances.

Being EN 54-16/ISO 7240-16 and BS 5839 part 8 security systems, all components and peripherals are monitored. All incidents are recorded into a data file which can be consulted on the controller module monitor display or on a PC using the ATEÏS Studio remote control software. Also, any detected fault is signalled by a general fault output contact available on the IDA8C Controller unit. A built-in loudspeaker output enables selective listening to all the sources and system’s 100 V output signals.
