IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK- DO NOT OPEN THE UNIT. THERE ARE NO SERVICABLE COMPONENTS INSIDE.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions. Instructions are to be framed and placed adjacent to the control unit for rady reference.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus

has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14)

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture and do not expose to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus

i.Net Quad OP

The primary sound source of the i.Net system is the Quad OP (Operating Platform) - A 1RU rack mount unit that offers 4 OP's in 1, that produces, equalizes and distributes the sound. Each Rack OP includes:

– Multiple, random sound masking sources, coupled with Lencore’s technology, produce a

sound quality that is random, making it exceptionally comfortable environment.

– Independent equalizers for unprecedented tuning where every channel of the system has a

separate and independent 1/3rd octave band equalizer or parametric equalizer.

– Sound frequencies and contour can be adjusted and set to any point on the acoustical

curve, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, making i.Net the first networked sound masking system to make fine-tuning the entire spectrum of sound possible.

–The multi-drop system and network is intelligent enough to bypass any failure in the system

to keep communicating throughout the entire network. Point-to-Point networks can not achieve this level of connectivity and diagnostic control.

Groupings of sound sources and channels let you customize an almost limitless number of zones for masking, paging and music, while maintaining the advantages of complete networked operation and control.

Note: The i.Net Quad OP requires a Headend for music and paging applications.

Features and Capabilities:

The i.Net Quad OP includes many built-in features that used to require separately purchased components.

• Data Entry Switches. The data entry switches allow the user to make a number of adjustments to the system without using a computer.

• LCD display. The front panel display is used for displaying a variety of information.

• Four independent OP's in one unit for a total of 128 speakers on one unit

• Four IR input ports to control each OP separately with IR wall plates.

Installing the i.Net Quad OP:

The i.Net Quad OP is designed to be installed in a standard 19" rack. Use four of the appropriate screws designed for the rack to mount to the OP.

Important: A 1RU of empty space is required immediately above the i.Net Quad OP for heat dissipation. Failure to leave 1RU of empty space above the OP can result in the OP overheating and eventual failure.

Front Panel

1. Data In/Out

Connect the Data out from the headend or previous OP to the OP Data In. Connect the Data out to the next OP Data In using RJ45 cables.

2. GND (Audio Common)

Connection for the ground wires to the head end and next OP ground connector.

3. IR

Connect IR wall units to these inputs using RJ45 cables.

4. Channels

Connect external speakers to the Channel's RJ45 connectors.

5. LEDs.

The PWR LED is on when power is applied to the unit. The Fault LED is on when the system is in a fault condition.

6. Data Entry Switches

The data entry switches are used to make a number of adjustments to the system without using a computer.

7. LCD Display

The LCD displays various diagnostic messages and configuration information about the system.

Wiring

Power and Network connections:

1. Plug the unit into a standard 115VAC power outlet. The system will be usable in approximately 10 seconds.

Data, and Ground connections:

1. Wire the Data in cable to the previous OP or head-end Data out. Wire the Data Out cable to the next OP’s Data

In. On the last OP only, connect a data terminator to the OP's data out port

2. Wire a ground wire from the GND connector to the previous and next OP ground or to the headend common.

Audio Common (not building ground).

FROM HEAD-END OR PREVIOUS OP

IR connections::

1. Connect an IR unit to the IR port. IR1 for U1 speakers. IR2 for U2 speakers. IR3 for U3 speakers. IR4 for U4 speakers.

*Note: "U" refers to the unit number, not the OP number.

Hang Speakers

Data Cable (RJ45) 568B

Climb ladder and access the ceiling plenum

Hang speaker units in plenum area at marked locations using preferred hanging method (powder action gun such as a Hilti-gun™ or drill and screw; check your local building codes for allowable hanging methods and standards)

Drive a nail holding the clip with the speaker chain and speaker into ceiling

Pull and connect audio cables to speakers by channel

* keep speakers installed at very

consistent heights

6"-12"

NOTE: If installing Inline speakers, make sure the potentiometer on the bottom of the speaker is set to the MAXIMUM (clockwise) setting.

Configuring the System

The system must be configured before any paging or music functions are used. The data entry switches can be used to configure and adjust the system for many functions. System Manager must be used to create any zones or to make more detailed adjustments such as equalizer settings. See below for switches usage and the System Manager manual for using System Manager.

Front Panel Switches:

The switches allow the user to make a number of adjustments to the system without using a computer, although, a computer and System Manager are still required for full control of all functions. A selection can be made by continually pressing and releasing the switch.

The display shows OP operational data: The upper left part of the display displays the function. The upper right displays the current option, within that function. The lower left displays the Channel or Zone # that is related to the function. The lower right displays the value associated with that channel or zone.

Function

Selection

The FUNCTION button selects the function to be changed within each mode. The OPT button selects the operation.
