Install Instructions
Whenever operation and maintenance is ongoing, personnel in the equipment areas shall have an effective communication among
these areas in order to protect people if any accident occurs.
PRELIMINARY PRECAUTIONS
Precautions which are applicable to general electrical or electronic maintenance are as follows:
a. Check yourself. Wear no article that might catch on equipment or that might act as a conductor.
b. Check the working area. The equipment area shall be clean and dry. If possible, stand on a special insulator such as a
rubber mat. There should be ample working space and good lighting.
c. Check the tools. Always use proper tools and check them for their safe condition. Use screwdrivers with plastic handles.
Check test equipment periodically and examine test leads carefully as the slightest break in insulation is dangerous.
d. Check the procedures. Study the entire procedure before taking the first step. Consult the circuit diagram frequently to
obtain an understanding of what is accomplished at each step. Know what is in the equipment and how it differs from
others on which you have worked.
e. Be aware that high voltages may be present across terminals that are normally low voltage, due to equipment
breakdown. Be careful when measuring low voltages in equipment containing high voltage circuits.
f. Do not make resistance measurements with power on.
g. Do not work within the equipment without the presence of a person who is capable of rendering aid, and who is familiar
with the procedure for emergency shutdown of the equipment.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN MEASURING HIGH VOLTAGE POTENTIALS
Observe the following precautions when measurements must be performed on circuits with potentials over 48 volts.
h. Do not measure potentials over 48 volts without the presence or assistance of a person who is capable of rendering aid,
and who is familiar with the procedure for emergency shutdown of the equipment.
i. Be sure you are not grounded when you are adjusting equipment or using measuring equipment. Stand on a rubber mat
or other insulator if possible. Be sure the equipment area is clean and dry. In general, use only one hand when servicing
live equipment.
j. If a test meter must be held or adjusted while voltage is applied, ground the case of the meter before starting a
measurement. Do not touch the live equipment or personnel working on live equipment while holding the meter. The
“common” terminal on some A/C electronic voltmeters is at ground potential; never connect the “common” terminal to
any point above ground potential.
k. High-voltage, high-capacitance capacitors should be discharged before servicing is started.
WARNING! Discharging must be done carefully and judiciously. First ascertain whether there is a built-in bleeder
network. If so, wait a minute or two for the capacitor to discharge through the network. Otherwise, use an external
discharge network. This is most important in the case of high voltage or high capacitance capacitors. If one terminal
is connected to ground, connect the discharge network between the other terminal and ground. If neither terminal
of the capacitor is grounded, connect the network across the capacitor terminals. Connecting a short circuit across
the terminals is not recommended. Doing so can produce extremely high currents and a flash which can injure the
eyes, vaporize metals, and cause burns.
1516ALI & 1516BLI
Class A/B Loop Interface
AVERTISSEMENT: La décharge doit être faite soigneusement et judicieusement. Vérifier d’abord si il y a un réseau
de purgeur incorporé. Si c’est le cas, attendez une minute ou deux pour que le condensateur se décharge par le
réseau. Sinon, utilisez un réseau de décharge externe. Ceci est très important en cas de haute tension ou des
condensateurs à haute capacité. Si un terminal est relié à la terre, connecter le réseau de décharge entre l’autre
terminal et la terre. Si aucun terminal de condensateur est fondé, relier le réseau au terminal du condensateur. La
connexion d’un court-circuit entre les terminaux n’est pas recommandée. Cela peut créé des courants très élevés
où des étincelles pourrait blesser les yeux, fondre les métaux et causer des brûlures.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT
When it is necessary to work on energized equipment, think ahead and anticipate every hazard. Never work alone on energized
equipment.
Interlock switches are installed on some of the doors and panels to break the power circuits when the enclosure is entered. When it is
necessary to work within such an enclosure on energized equipment, the interlock may be bypassed. Extreme caution should then be
exercised, as dangerous voltages are present within the unit.
AC POWER CIRCUITS
Equipment obtaining power from a secondary distribution system should be grounded at all times by means of a third grounding
wire on the power lines. Equipment permanently wired to a secondary distribution system should also be grounded separately by
connection to a grounding bus or ground rod with a sufficiently large conductor to handle the current expected if the secondary source
is accidentally shorted to the equipment.
The ground wire should be protected from mechanical damage and periodically inspected for good physical condition.
Personnel should never depend on a switch to remove power from equipment. If the equipment is connected to the secondary
distribution system by means of a power cable, detach the cable from the receptacle before attempting any repairs of removal of
chassis.
Install Instructions
If the equipment is permanently wired to the secondary distribution system, remove the main fuses or open the power switch. Attach
a suitable warning tag to the switch which will warn personnel not to operate the equipment; only the person who originally attaches
the warning tag should be authorized to remove it.
RESUSCITATION
Personnel working with or near high voltage should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation. Such information and training is
available from the Red Cross or local emergency response personnel such as the police and fire department.

1516ALI & 1516BLI
Class A/B Loop Interface
Introduction
The 1516ALI (or 1516BLI) is a device that provides Class A (or Class B) speaker loop wiring support and supervision between an IED
integrated amplifier system such as the Titan T9160, T112 or DNA2404C/D, and looped speaker field wiring. This device provides several
functions:
• Provides connections for both the “outbound” and return or “inbound” portion of the speaker loop.
• Supervises the loop and indicates a fault when the loop is broken*
• Delivers audio on both branches of the loop to provide failsafe operation after a loop is broken (1516ALI only).
The 1516ALI (1516BLI) provides interfaces for up to 16 Class A (Class B) speaker loops. Typically this represents 16 amplifier channels,
but it is possible to wire one amplifier channel to drive more than one speaker loop, if that is how the facility wiring is arranged and
the load presented by the multiple loops are compatible with the amplifier’s capacity. Loop faults are indicated via yellow LEDs on
the 1516ALI/1516BLI unit and are reported over the network to an AtlasIED GLOBALCOM® system. Faults can be disabled via 2-pin
jumpers on unused loop interfaces.
The 1516ALI/1516BLI can be entirely powered over the network via power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE). Or, if PoE is not
available, the unit may be powered from an external 48V supply. Since, externally/physically the 1516ALI and 1516BLI are identical the
descriptions which follow will only show/discuss the one product, the 1516ALI, for simplicity.
* Special Note: In order to detect a break in either wire of a loop, it is necessary to install speakers with DC blocking capacitors.
Without such speakers/capacitors, the 1516ALI/1516BLI can only detect a fault when the whole loop cable is severed.

1516ALI Installation
Unpacking And Preparing The Unit
Unpack the unit from its shipping carton and identify any accompanying components that may have been included. The unit comes with
rack ears for easy mounting into a 19” rack.
Install Unit Into A Rack
The ideal location for mounting the 1516ALI is on rear rack rails, typically right behind the AtlasIED amplifier units to which they will
connect. Alternately, they may be placed on rails near the speaker field wiring terminal blocks in the rack.
Make Ground Connection
If there is a solid connection to ground via the rack ears and screws, then this step is optional. For good measure, though, one should
be sure to provide a solid ground connection to the ground connector on the 1516ALI case (7). This connection is necessary for the fault
detection function.
The amplifier outputs have a Voltage on them relative to ground. The detection circuitry requires a solid ground reference in
order measure this voltage and properly function.
Connect Amplifier Wiring
Connections should be made to the amplifier input terminals (1) being sure to observe the polarity markings on the connections.
Connect Speaker Loop Wiring
It is critical that speaker loop connections are made correctly to prevent serious damage to the amplifiers. Incorrectly connected
loops can create SHORT CIRCUITS across the amplifier outputs. Please read and understand this section, and observe it in
making the speaker loop connections, before applying power to the amplifiers connected to the 1516ALI.
It is important that a speaker loop strictly observes polarity all along its path so that the plus (+) connection going out is the same as
the plus (+) connection coming back in, and the same on the minus side. This may be done simply by always connecting the same color
wire all along the way, e.g., black-to-black and white-to-white. If one is unsure of how the field wiring was done, then the lines should
be tested a cross-over in polarity.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to detect a cross-over in the wiring with a simple Ohmmeter. That is because these utilize DC Voltages,
and at DC, both lines appear to be shorted together. This is because the coils in the speaker transformers appear as “just wire” to DC
voltages, and these coils are connected across the speaker lines. So the testing must be done with an AC drive voltage.
The AC line test procedure one can employ is as follows:
• Disconnect both the + and – wires of the IN connection for a speaker loop, leaving only the OUT connection attached.
• If one has an impedance meter, which drives a line with an AC tone, this can be connected to the Amplifier Input for the loop being
tested. Otherwise, power up the amplifier driving this loop and apply a test tone to it (e.g., using the Circuit Test feature in System
Manager Center).
• Attach a Voltmeter set for AC reading between the + OUTbound connection and the + INbound wire (not yet inserted into the
1516ALI).
• If the polarity is correct, one should observe NO VOLTAGE between these points. If incorrect, then one will see a voltage.
One should make the IN connections on the 1516ALI in accordance with the test, even if it does involve a “flip” in wiring color. This just
means an odd number of such flips were made in the field wiring.

Connecting Multiple Loops To One Amplifier Channel
If there are multiple speaker lines (loops) that “homerun” to the equipment room to be driven by one amplifier channel, these can be
accommodated by the 1516ALI with proper wiring, so long as the total load presented is not over the amplifier’s rating (e.g., two loops
of 100 Watt load each on a 200 Watt amplifier channel). This is done, simply by daisy-chaining the amplifier input wiring on the Amp In
connectors of the 1516ALI as shown in the figure below.
Figure 4: Connecting Multiple Loops to One Amplifier Channel
Install Bypass Jumpers
For any channels not connected to Class A loops, install a bypass jumper into the Fault Bypass pins (4) at that position.
Connect To Network
Connect the 1516ALI to the network via the RJ-45 connector on the rear. If PoE power is available, the power LED (6), should illuminate
after a couple of seconds.
(Opt.) Connect Auxiliary 48V Power
If the network does not supply PoE power, then the device should be powered from a separate 48V DC supply connected to the
Auxiliary Power Input jack (5).

Add 1516ALI To GLOBALCOM.IP System
Once the unit is powered up and connected to the network, it should be added to the GLOBALCOM®.IP system it is a part of via the
System Management Center (SMC). The process for doing this is detailed below.
Add the Device to the System
The 1516ALI is not added as a special device type, but as an
“External Supervised Device” that can pass fault information
via IEDnet. This is done by adding a device of this type via the
following steps.
• Go to the Configuration tab page
• Select the Devices section
• Click on the [+] button at the top to add a device
• Under Third-Party Devices, locate the row for “External
Supervised Device” and fill in a quantity (1 or more) of these
devices to add a this time (see screen shot at right)
• Tab or click out of the quantity (# Devices) field to enable
the OK button
• Click on the OK button
• Double-click on each newly added device and fill in its basic
information such as the example shown below. At a minimum,
one should:
• Enter a Description for the unit
• Set the IP Address field to the device’s network address.
• Set the Supervision Method field to “IEDnet”
The Location field is totally optional, providing a place to record
other project-related information on this device. The Supervision
Details field is not used for this device.

Define Faults for the Device
With the device added to the system, any time breaks in the supervised loops are detected, they will be reported in SMC such as
shown in the screen shot below. Faults reported by these devices are all Fault Type 40, with Fault Numbers going from 1 to 16 to
represent loops 1 to 16. The default descriptions as shown below consist of the device description followed by the fault numbers 40/x.
In the example, both loops 15 and 16 are faulted for the newly added frame.
1516ALI & 1516BLI
Class A/B Loop Interface
The fault descriptions can be made more meaningful, by adding descriptions to System Supervision. This is done by going to the
System Supervision section under the Configuration tab page and adding entries in the Device Specific Faults area, such as those
shown in the example below.
This is done by clicking on the [+] button and then entering the information in the first three columns, and selecting the device in the
droplist in the last column. Once entered, the fault descriptions in the Current Faults list will change, such as shown below.
This process of entering descriptions can/should be repeated for all loops on all 1516ALI devices.

Device Recovery
In the case somebody forgets the Settings password and is not be able to properly access it, this can be reset by the Factory Reset
option. This can be done by sending the command via HTTP from a browser, followed by a Reboot command. The form of these
commands are:
http://w.x.y.z/cmd?FactoryReset=A55A
http://w.x.y.z/cmd?Reboot=A55A
Where w.x.y.z is the current IP Address of the 1516ALI. (Note, the capitalization is important.) The device should respond to the first
command with text in the browser that simply says:
Command Accepted
Note, after the reboot, the device will be at the factory default IP address and so may not be addressable without changing the browser
to point to that IP address, or changing the computer to be on the 10.x.y.z network
