relates to hardware installation, physical connections, and device and channel failover concerns. For more details on software setup, please consult the Audia software Help File.
Figure 1. Front Panel
System Indicators
The LED indicators on the front panel provide information about the function and operational status of the AudiaFUSION chassis and any installed AM-600 amplier modules. Columns one through eight correspond to the eight amplier module slots. The remaining LEDs
correspond to the AudiaFUSION chassis.
Figure 2. System Indicators
Channel Indicators Chassis Indicators
Channel Indicators Alarm is a two-color LED that illuminates when a channel fault has occurred. Two types of channel faults can be reported, depending on
the severity of the problem. Amber indicates a Warning, which means that some aspect of the AM-600 amplier module is not performing within normal specication. Audio may still be passing, but if the condition causing the Warning is not corrected, channel failure may occur. Red indicates an Alarm, which means that some aspect of the AM-600 amplier module has failed and audio is no longer passing on that channel. Use the Audia software to determine the specic type of channel warning or alarm that has occurred.
Activity is a two-color LED that illuminates in green when the channel is congured and actively passing audio and amber when the channel is congured and in standby. Standby only occurs when a channel has been designated as a secondary failover channel in the conguration.

AudiaFUSION FRONT PANEL
Signal 1 is a tri-color LED that indicates audio signal presence on the channel. Green indicates that the audio signal level is between
-50 dBFS and -3 dBFS, amber indicates a signal level between -3 dBFS and 0 dBFS, and red indicates clipping.
Signal 2 has no function at this time and is in place for possible future use.
Chassis Indicators Alarm is a two-color LED that illuminates when a chassis fault has occurred. Two types of chassis faults can be reported, depending on
the severity of the problem. Amber indicates a Warning, which means that some aspect of the AudiaFUSION chassis is not performing
within normal specication. Audio may still be passing, but if the condition causing the Warning is not corrected, chassis failure may occur.
Red indicates an Alarm, which means that some aspect of the AudiaFUSION chassis has failed and audio may no longer be passing
through the device. Use the Audia software to determine the specic type of chassis warning or alarm that has occurred.
Activity is a tri-color LED that illuminates to show the conguration status of the AudiaFUSION unit. If the LED is dark, there is no conguration in the unit. A green LED indicates that the unit is congured, and an amber LED indicates that the unit is congured and in standby. Standby only occurs when a unit has been designated as a secondary failover device in the conguration. A red LED indicates a conguration load failure.
Status is a tri-color LED that indicates the health of the AudiaFUSION hardware. A green LED indicates that the unit powered up normally. A ashing amber LED is shown briey during the power-on self test and should turn solid green upon a successful start up. A red LED indicates that the unit experienced a problem during the power-on self test.
AIS has no function at this time and is in place for possible future use.
Power is a green LED that illuminates when power is applied to the unit.

Serial Control Port
After initial programming and conguration, AudiaFUSION may be controlled by third-party control systems such as AMX® or Crestron® using the Serial Control Port. External devices may also be controlled or signaled via the Serial Control Port by utilizing Command String blocks within the Audia system design. The port is a DB9 female with pin 2 [RXD], pin 3 [TXD], and pin 5 [GND] connected. AudiaFUSION is an RS-232 DCE device. The default settings are 38400, 8, N, 1, None. The baud rate is adjustable in the Audia software using the Device Maintenance dialog window. The other serial port settings are not adjustable. Please note: There is no hardware ow control. Flow control
must be managed in control software.
Power Entrance
The Power Entrance provides for connection of the appropriate power cord (included with unit). A switch selects the operating voltage for the power supply, 110–120V or 220–240V at 50/60 Hz.
NM-1
NM-1 is the Network Module that is included with AudiaFUSION. It provides Ethernet connectivity for programming and control, the CobraNet interface for digital I/O, and logic ports for the device failover functionality.
Reset Button
Reset button, when held down for 5 seconds, performs a chassis restart. The Status indicator will ash amber during restart and will turn
solid green once the process is complete.
Logic I/O
The Logic I/O connector on the NM-1 facilitates redundant device failover only. It is not a general-purpose contact closure interface. See the Amplier-to-Amplier Failover section below.
Ethernet
AudiaFUSION uses Ethernet for system programming and control. Programming is accomplished using Audia software provided with
each unit. Audia software is for PC computers with Windows® XP Professional/Vista operating system (required). The PC computer must
have a network card installed that supports 10/100Base-T Ethernet. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch (not repeater hub) is required when networking multiple units. AudiaFUSION uses standard CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 cabling, which has a specied maximum length of 100 meters. Additional Ethernet switches and/or ber-optic cable can be used to further extend distances between units on a network.
CobraNet
The CobraNet interface in AudiaFUSION supports up to 32 simultaneous channels of digital audio (16-in, 16-out) over Fast Ethernet
and is compatible with other CobraNet compliant devices. Therefore, AudiaFUSION can be networked with CobraNet products from other
manufacturers, expanding the system conguration capabilities. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch (not repeater hub) is required when networking multiple units. CobraNet utilizes standard CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 cabling, which has a specied maximum length of 100 meters. Additional Ethernet switches and/or ber-optic cable can be used to further extend distances between units on a network.
6
AudiaFUSION REAR PANEL
Please note that CobraNet limits network extensions to seven hops (one-way transmissions) within a network. The primary and secondary CobraNet ports are redundant. Each connector provides two LEDs that indicate Ethernet link and network
activity (see table below).

AM-600
AM-600 is the Amplier Module card. An AudiaFUSION chassis can be populated with up to eight AM-600 cards.
Output
Use the yellow plug-in barrier strip connectors to connect loudspeaker level outputs. If stranded speaker wire is used, be sure to incorporate
all strands into the connector, as stray strands can short to the adjacent terminal or chassis. Do not leave excessive bare wire outside
the terminals, as this can lead to shorts.
Please note: AudiaFUSION is a powerful amplier and can
damage loudspeakers. Please treat the outputs as you would AC mains power outlets. Always check the loudspeaker’s
continuous and peak power capabilities and match the amplier
settings accordingly.

Amplier-to-Amplier Failover
AudiaFUSION supports one-to-one automatic device failover in case of fault. Failover is triggered by one of the following conditions:
Chassis alarm•
Channel alarm•
Loss of power•
Loss of CobraNet link•
Loss of Logic I/O•
Only alarms (e.g., heat sink alarm and channel failure alarm) trigger the failover mechanism. Warnings indicate abnormal system conditions that do not immediately impair audio and do not trigger the failover mechanism.
The redundant amplier must have the same conguration as the primary amplier (i.e., amplier module count, watts per module, load conguration). A wire failover link cable must be connected between the primary and the redundant amplier as shown below. Connect ground to ground and logic 4 of the primary amplier to logic 3 of the redundant amplier; connect logic 3 of the primary amplier to logic 4 of the redundant amplier. Leave logic 1 and 2 disconnected.
Primary AudiaFUSION Redundant AudiaFUSION
The redundant amplier can be wired in parallel to the existing speaker line or connected to a redundant speaker line (see gure below). Relays isolate the output terminals on the secondary AudiaFUSION unit. Relays are normally open. When a conguration is received,
relays close on the primary AudiaFUSION and remain open on the redundant AudiaFUSION. On failover, the relay positions are reversed.
After replacing the faulty amplier, a power cycle is required to recover from failover. The primary device will resume control after the fail
condition is cleared and the unit is re-powered.

Channel-to-Channel Failover
In addition to entire amplier failover, AudiaFUSION supports channel-to-channel failover, which is triggered by one of the following conditions:
Heat Sink alarm•
Short Circuit alarm*•
Channel Failure alarm•
The wire failover link cable is not required when wiring channel-to-channel failover.
The redundant channel can be wired in parallel to the existing speaker line (shown above) or connected to a redundant speaker line. The primary amplier module will resume control after the fault condition is cleared and the unit is re-powered.
* A Short Circuit alarm will cause failover only if the Persistent Short Circuit Delay time property in the AudiaFUSION is exceeded.
