Safety Instructions

Please read carefully before installing or operating.

• Read all instructions carefully

• Heed all warnings

• Assure that the speaker is securely mounted

• Always assure amplifier power is off before making any connections

• Keep instructions for future reference

• Should any questions arise after reading this document, please call Atlas Sound Tech Support at 800-876-3333

Hearing Damage

CAUTION: All professional speaker systems are capable of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to

avoid exposure to excessive levels that can cause permanent hearing damage.

ATTENTION: Tous les systèmes de haut-parleurs professionnels sont capables de générer des niveaux de pression sonore très élevés. Utilisez les

soins avec le placement et l'opération pour éviter l'exposition à des niveaux excessifs pouvant causer des dommages auditifs permanents.

Suspension and Mounting

Suspending or "flying" speaker systems requires training and expertise. Improper rigging of a flying speaker may result in injury, death, equipment

damage, and legal liability. Installation must be carried out by fully qualified installers, in accordance with all required safety codes and standards at the

place of installation.

A 5:1 design factor is a generally accepted minimum standard. However, legal requirements for overhead suspension vary by municipality, please

consult your local safety standards office before installing any product. We also recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior to

installation.

Speakers flown in theaters, nightclubs, conference centers, or other places of work and entertainment must be provided with an independent,

correctly rated and securely attached secondary safety — in addition to the principle suspension point(s). This secondary safety must prevent the

speaker from dropping more than (6") should the principle suspension device fail. If you lack the skills, training, and proper ancillary equipment to fly a

speaker system, do not attempt to do so.

Introduction

AtlasIED IP endpoint speakers consist of a factory assembled speaker and baffle with PCB amplifier / control board. The amplifier / control board is

capable of producing 15-watts RMS into the 8Ω loudspeaker with IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE switches. Interconnection is via a top panel mounted

female RJ-45 connector. All models are compatible with AtlasIED’s GCK©, Syn-Apps SA-Announce©, Singlewire’s InformaCast© software, and SIP

standalone operation.

Functionality

Before installing, note the unit’s MAC address found under the top cover (example 00:02:C1:81:00:00). Once connected to a network and powered,

the IP endpoint speaker will boot up and automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. Next, the unit will start the

registration process to find the controller software. Once the IP endpoint speaker identifies the software’s location, it will send a registration request

to the software and register. The MAC address of the unit will then be visible in the software’s interface. Please refer to the installation manual of the

software for additional configuration settings.

After the speaker has registered with the software, using any Internet browser like Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc., will allow access

to the unit’s HTTPS page by navigating to its IP address. This page will show the unit’s current firmware version and registration information. If unsure

about the IP address, press the unit’s service button for one second and the unit’s IP address will be announced through the speaker. This will require

removal of the top panel of the enclosure to access PCB. Please contact AtlasIED for instructions to configure the IP-PM8GD in SIP Standalone Mode.

Misc Settings

1. Service Button - The only push switch located on the main circuit board.

• Press 1 sec - The current IP address will be spoken (in English) through the 8Ω loudspeaker

• Press 10 sec - Factory reset

• Press and hold while applying power - Hold the button until the Status LED on the circuit board starts blinking rapidly to perform a factory

reset without any servers present

Note: To access PCB remove back top panel of the speaker enclosure.

Installation Via Mounting Cables (Included)

General considerations and hardware recommendations

CAUTION: A fall from almost any height could result in serious injury or death. Assure that the speaker is firmly mounted to an object that can handle

the weight of the IP-PM8GD. The mounting surface the IP-PM8GD is being attached to should be able to handle five or more times the weight of the

IP-PM8GD.

The hardware employed must be safely and securely attached both to the speaker and the structure in question, using only the mounting holes. A

general rule for soft surface installations (wood beams) is to multiply the corresponding working load limit by 75%: the result will be approximate

working load strength. Use thread locking compound for all installations.

CAUTION: Mounting the IP-PM8GD may require two people.

When in doubt contact a qualified structural/mechanical engineer for approval of the mounting materials and methods.

1. Rotate the top cover counterclockwise and pull up to remove. (Figure 1 and 2)

2. Locate suitable support structure in the area the speaker is to be installed.

3. Route the bare end of the main support cable though the included clamp, then around the mounting structure, and back through the clamp.

(Figure 3 and 4)

4. Adjust the cable length in the clamp so that the eyelet end of the cable is at the final height above the floor. (Figure 5)

5. Route the eyelet end of the main support cable through the top cover of the IP-PM8GD. Attach the included carabiner clip to the eyelet and the

large mounting hole on the back of the IP-PM8GD. (Figure 6)

6. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for the safety cable and attach it to one of the outer mounting holes on the support plate of the IP-PM8GD using the included

mounting screw. (Figure 6)

7. Route the Ethernet cable through the top cover and connect to the RJ-45 Connector.

8. Position the top cover over the side cover screws and rotate the cover clockwise to align the top cover mounting screw holes. Install the 3

mounting screws which are located in the hardware bag. Then tighten the side cover screws.

9. Slide the top hole plug over the main support cable, safety cable, and Ethernet cable using the opening on the side of the plug. Then slide the plug

down the cable and into the top cover hole. (Figure 7 and 8)

Note: If the speaker is being installed outdoors, seal plug with RTV silicone to prevent moisture from entering speaker.
