Installation
This device has been designed to be installed horizontally in a conventional 19” rack cabinet.
In general, an installation location must be selected in which the device is protected from the
following conditions:
–Dripping water or spray
–Direct sunlight
–High ambient temperatures or direct effect of sources of heat
–High level of humidity
–Heavy dust accumulation
–Strong vibrations
Front attachment of the device
Refer to the following illustration to attach the front of the device, using four screws and

of the device is recommended.
Figure 5.1: Installation of the device into a 19" rack
Caution!
The use of rack mount rails is recommended when installing the device in a rack shelf or rack
cabinet to prevent the front panel from twisting or warping. If devices should be stacked in
the rack (e.g. using the self-adhesive foot stands supplied) the maximum permissible load of
the mount rails must be considered. Please refer to the technical specifications provided by
the rack rail manufacturer.

Heat development
The table in chapter Specification can be used to determine the requirements for power
supply and supply lines. The power drawn from the mains is converted into output power to
feed the loudspeaker systems and heat. The difference between power consumption and
power output is called power dissipation (P
). The heat that is generated by losses might
loss
stay in the rack shelf and has to be dissipated by appropriate measures. The table can be used
to calculate the thermal ratio inside of a rack shelf/cabinet or for dimensioning the perhaps
required ventilation measures. The P
column lists the power dissipation for various
loss
operating conditions.

Connection
Audio inputs
The power amplifier has four audio input channels. With the help of integrated pilot tone
monitoring, a missing or faulty input signal can be detected reliably. Please refer to section
Circuit diagram, page 32 for details about the internal audio routing of the device.
RJ-45
The pin assignment of the LINE 1-4 IN / THRU audio input sockets allows connecting the
power amplifier to the RJ-45 audio output socket of a controller using standard RJ-45 patch
cables. The two RJ-45 sockets are switched in parallel which allows looping through the audio
signal.
Figure 6.1: Pin assignment of LINE IN 1-4 socket
Notice!
Do not use Ethernet crossover cables to connect audio inputs. Only use high quality straight
through Ethernet cables with shielding.
Notice!
Do not plug a CAN terminating resistor into the LINE IN 1-4 socket.

Euroblock
The L1 or L2 audio inputs allow to connect local audio sources, e.g. in stand-alone mode. The
audio signal L1 is mixed with input signal LINE IN 4 (provided via RJ-45) and amplified by
amplifier output channel 1. Audio signal L2 is mixed with input signal LINE IN 4 and amplified
by amplifier output channel 2.
Notice!
If local audio sources should be used while full system supervision is required, a pilot tone
must be available at LINE IN 4. Please refer to section Circuit diagram, page 32 and the
documentation of IRIS-Net.
The audio inputs are electronically balanced. You must always use a balanced audio signal at
the input of the device where this is possible. The scope of delivery for the device includes a
3-pin connector. Conductor cross-sections of 0.14 mm² (AWG26) to 1.5 mm² (AWG16) can be
used.
Recommended connecting cable: balanced cable with shielded flexible 2 x 0.14 mm².
Balanced cabling
The following illustration shows the balanced cabling of an audio input (or output) on the
device.
Figure 6.2: Balanced cabling
Unbalanced cabling
If the connecting cable(s) is/are very short and no interference signals are to be expected in
the environment of the device, then an unbalanced signal can also be connected. In this case,
it is imperative that a bridge in the connector between the shield and the inverting pin is
switched (see diagram below), otherwise the level can drop by 6 dB. However, for reasons of
immunity to external interference sources such as dimmers, mains supplies, HF control lines
etc., balanced cabling is always preferable.

Audio output
The audio outputs on the device are galvanically insulated and are constantly monitored for
ground fault. For each output channel there are 6 pins, two pins for 0V, two pins for 70V and
two pins for 100V speaker lines. The delivery for the device includes 6-pole connectors.
Conductor cross-sections of 0.14 mm² (AWG26) to 1.5 mm² (AWG16) can be used.
Recommended connecting cable: flexible CU strand, LiY, 0.75 mm².
For ease of installation, the connector can be removed. With regard to the maximum number
of speakers that can be connected, speakers can be connected until the point at which the
total power consumption of the speaker network corresponds to the nominal power value of
the output stage, where the rated load resistance of the output stage outputs is not to be
exceeded. The nominal power values and the rated load resistances of the outputs can be
found in the section entitled Technical data.
Notice!
Conductor cross-section
The maximum voltage drop must be less than 10% to avoid alarm signal attenuation and
ensure a sufficient signal level of the pilot tone for (optional) EOL modules.
Notice!
Do not use 70V and 100V outputs simultaneously.
Danger!
It is possible that during operation shock hazard voltages (> 140 V peak value) may be present
at the outputs. Therefore, the connected loudspeaker zones have to be installed in accordance
with applicable safety regulations. When installing and operating 100 V loudspeaker networks,
compliance with the VDE regulation DIN VDE 0800 is mandatory. Especially, when 100 V
loudspeaker networks in alarm system applications are concerned, all safety precautions have
to be in accordance with the safety class 3 standard.

Supply voltage
The device is normally operated via the AC mains input (120–240 V). In addition, a battery
input is available for emergency power operation (24 V DC).
Notice!
If the AC and DC power inputs are used, it is recommended to connect AC power first, then
switch on the device, then connect the DC power source.
Notice!
A power-on delay can be programmed for the PVA-2P500 via IRIS-Net. Upon switching on the
power supply the device does not start until the set delay time has elapsed. If several devices
are operated on the same automatic circuit breaker (or battery), cascaded switch-on can be
accomplish by programming individually different power-on delays for the devices. This also
prevents the magnetic trip of an automatic circuit breaker from acting and thus disconnecting
the devices from the mains supply, when various devices are switched on at the same time.
AC input and power switch
The power supply to the device is provided via the mains input using the supplied IEC cable
only. During installation, always disconnect the device from all supply voltages. Connect the
device only to a suitable power supply that meets the requirements specified on the type
plate. The associated fuse is located on the inside of the amplifier and is not accessible from
outside of the device.
The power switch at the rear separates the device from the power supply when the switch is
in the off position (0). The device starts booting up when the switch is in the on position (|). A
soft-start circuit limits in-rush current peaks occurring during this process. The speakers are
switched on via the output relays after a time delay. This effectively suppresses any audible inrush noises.
DC input
Operation manual18-Jun-2015 | 04 | F01U306898
Page 20
20en | ConnectionPAVIRO Amplifier
The device automatically switches to DC input in the event of failure of the mains supply
voltage. For this input, connect a 24-volt DC source to the DC INPUT input. The scope of
delivery for the device includes a 2-pin connector. Conductor cross-sections of 2 mm² to
6 mm² can be used.
Recommended connecting cable: flexible CU strand, LiY, 4 mm².
The DC input is protected against incorrect polarity and overload. The associated fuse is
located on the inside of the device and is not accessible from outside of the device. The
threshold of the internal audio peak limiters are lowered by 3 dB if DC is connected only.
Notice!
The DC input cannot be switched off. The power switch can only be used to switch off the
mains power supply.
6.4
CAN BUS
This section contains information about the connection of the device to the CAN BUS and the
correct setting of the CAN address.
Connection
The device has two RJ-45 jacks for the CAN BUS. The jacks are connected in parallel, and act
as an input and for daisy chaining the network. The CAN bus allows different data rates to be
used, where the data rate is indirectly proportional to the bus length. If the network is small,
data rates of up to 500 kbit/s are possible. In larger networks, the data rate must be
decreased (down to the minimum data rate of 10 kbit/s), please refer to section Configuring
the CAN baud rate.
Notice!
The data rate is preset to 10 kbit/s in the factory.
The following table explains the relationship between data rates and bus lengths/network
size. Bus lengths of over 1,000 m must be implemented only with CAN repeaters.

Cable specification
In accordance with the ISO 11898-2 standard, shielded twisted-pair cables with an impedance
of 120 ohms must be used as the data transfer cable for the CAN bus. A terminating resistance
of 120 ohms must be provided at both ends as the cable terminator. The maximum bus length
depends on the data transmission rate, the type of data transmission cable, and the number
of bus participants.

If there are long cables and several devices on the CAN bus, terminating resistors with ohm
ratings higher than the specified 120 ohms are recommended in order to reduce the resistive
load for the interface drivers, which in turn reduces the voltage loss from one cable end to
another.

Table 6.4: CAN BUS cable cross-section
If a participant cannot be directly connected to the CAN bus, a stub line (branch line) must be
used. Since there must always be precisely two terminating resistors on a CAN bus, a stub line
cannot be terminated. This creates reflections, which impair the rest of the bus system. To
minimize these reflections, these stub lines must not exceed a maximum individual length of
2 m at data transmission rates of up to 125 kbit/s, or a maximum length of 0.3 m at higher bit
rates. The overall length of all branch lines must not exceed 30 m.
The following applies:
–In terms of rack wiring, standard RJ-45 patch cables with 100-ohm impedance (AWG 24/
AWG 26) can be used for short distances (up to 10 m).
–The guidelines specified above for the network cabling must be used when wiring the
racks with each other and for the building installation.

Configuring the CAN baud rate
The CAN baud rate can be configured using a UCC1 USB-CAN CONVERTER or directly on the
front of the device.
Changing the CAN baud rate
Notice!
The CAN baud rate can only be changed if the CAN address is set to 00.
18-Jun-2015 | 04 | F01U306898Operation manual
To change the CAN baud rate, perform the following steps:
1.Press the Recessed button and keep the button pressed down for at least one second.
The CAN baud rate is indicated for two seconds, please refer to the section entitled
“Displaying the CAN baud rate” for more information.
2.As soon as the CAN baud rate is displayed, release the Recessed button. Please note that
if the button is pressed for more than 3 seconds, the device will be reset to factory
settings.
3.Briefly press the Recessed button to switch to the next-higher CAN baud rate. The LEDs
indicate the new setting.
4.Repeat step 3 until the desired baud rate has been set. (Example: To change the baud
rate from 62.5 kbit/s to 20 kbit/s, press the Recessed button exactly five times, i.e. 62.5 >
125 > 250 > 500 > 10 > 20).
5.The new CAN baud rate is applied two seconds after the last time that the Recessed
button is pressed.

Operation
Fault monitoring
The following functions of the power amplifier can be monitored:
–Mains under-voltage
–Battery under-voltage
–Excessive temperature
–Overload
–Output voltage
–Output current
–Ground fault (in stand-alone mode only)
–Pilot tone monitoring when used in combination with PVA-4CR12 and PVA-4R24
–Monitoring of the microprocessor
–CAN BUS connection
Whenever a fault occurs in the power amplifier, this is always indicated by means of the
General fault warning indicator light lighting up. IRIS-Net can be used to configure which
power amplifier fault types are to be displayed. The monitoring of functions that are not being
used (e.g. DC input) must be deactivated, otherwise a permanent fault is displayed.
Standby mode
In standby mode the power consumption of the PVA-2P500 is below 2 W (AC or DC power
supply). Following functions are available in standby mode:
–Remote control via CAN bus
–Supervision of the AC power input
–Supervision of the DC power input
The standby mode is activated or deactivated via CAN bus. The standby mode will be
deactivated automatically if the CAN bus is disconnected or the CAN address is set to 0
(stand-alone mode).
8.1
Stand-alone mode
Audio signals
In stand-alone mode (without CAN connection to a controller, e.g. CAN address set to 0) the
audio input signal L1 (or L2) is mixed with audio input 4, amplified with 36 dB and provided
by audio output 1 (or 2).
Ground fault monitoring
The VDE specification DIN VDE 0800 must be observed when setting up and operating 100-volt
speaker systems. Particularly with 100-volt speaker systems that are used for alarm purposes,
all protective measures must be designed for measuring class 3. The integrated ground fault
monitoring function in the power amplifier allows the insulation of the ungrounded speaker
line network to be monitored in stand-alone mode. Any ground fault (e.g. R ≤ 50kΩ) that
occurs is an indication of either cable damage, which means that a line interruption may occur
in the near future, or a wiring fault, which can result in malfunctions. A ground fault that has
been present for at least five seconds is indicated on the front panel by the Ground fault
indicator light lighting up yellow. The Ground fault indicator light lights up until the power
supply to the output stage is disconnected or the error is reset by pressing the Recessed
button.
To test the ground fault monitoring function, use a 22 kOhm resistor (the power amplifier
must not be in STANDBY mode during the testing process). If the resistance is switched from
a terminal of the power output socket to protective ground for approx. five seconds, the
Ground fault indicator light must light. If the resistance is greater than 100 kOhms and the

capacity is less than 5 μF, the Ground fault indicator light must not light up. After the resistor
has been removed, the display and the malfunction message must continue to be shown. To
reset the ground fault monitoring function, press the Recessed button.

Firmware update
IRIS-Net can be used to update the firmware on the device. Depending on the CAN data rate
used, the update will take one or more minutes to complete. Since development work is
always being performed in relation to all system software, it may be necessary to update the
firmware on the controller. Any software incompatibilities are displayed in IRIS-Net. For more
information on firmware updates, please refer to the IRIS-Net documentation.
Resetting to factory default settings
The device is programmed in the factory with the following functions and properties:
ParameterSetting/description
CAN baud rate10 kbit/s
Input routingLine input L1 to CH 1
Line input L2 to CH 2
Line input 4 to CH 1 and CH 2 (in stand-alone mode)
Output relaysAll closed
Table 9.1: Device factory default settings
The device settings can be reset to the default values manually or using IRIS-Net. To perform a
manual reset, perform the following steps with the device switched on:
1.Disconnect the device from the CAN BUS.
2.Set the address to “00” using the CAN ADDRESS selector switch on the rear panel.
3.Press the Recessed button on the front panel and keep the button pressed down for
three seconds.
The device has now been reset to the factory default settings.
Caution!
Before reconnecting the device to the CAN BUS, note the CAN baud rate, which may change
under certain circumstances.
