4.4. Input/output contacts
The amplifier has nine configurable input / output contacts.
To use these, the functionality of each contact must be defined through the P.A. Manager software (see section 6.2.3).
Contacts configured as input:
To activate a contact configured as input, this contact must be connected to ground.
By way of example, these inputs are used to detect and notify the system of alarms, or to activate local pre-recorded messages…
Contacts configured as output
They are open collector outputs. These outputs can be used to activate the selection of zones of an MC-12/24L, activate the priority of an external device, light a LED…
4.5. Battery power supply input
This supply allows the equipment to be used in safety installations, connecting a 24 V DC battery.
The ON/OFF switch does not cut off the supply from the battery.
It is possible to monitor the presence of the 24 V DC battery input.
The battery power fuse is situated inside the unit, in the contact input/output circuit. To gain access to the fuse, in the event of repair, it is necessary to remove the cover of the unit. A spare battery fuse is supplied with each amplifier. The value of this fuse varies according to the amplifier model.

4.6. Ground to chassis
connection
In all Public Address installations it is very important that there is one single point of connection between the signal ground connection and the mains supply ground contact.
If the Public Address installation is composed of several equipment units, their chassis will probably be joined, either by means of the ground terminal of the mains connection, or because they are mounted in a rack cabinet.
If the ground connections are also joined by the signal circuits, it is advisable to remove the jumper between the ground connection and the chassis from all the units except one.

4.7. FAIL relay
Solid state relay. It switches when: a) The power supply of the amplifier fails. b) The maximum temperature set by the P.A.
Manager software is exceeded.
c) The connection in both Ethernet inputs (ETH A
and B) is lost.
d) A high impedance / open line fault is detected
in the loudspeaker line.
e) An internal communication or firmware error
is detected in the amplifier.
4.8. Loudspeaker line outputs
The loudspeaker line output is effected by means of a transformer that has low impedance (4-8-16 ohms) and high impedance (50-70-100 V) outputs.
The connection must be made between terminal "0" and the terminal corresponding to the selected impedance or voltage.
When working with the 50, 70 and 100 V lines, it should be remembered that:
The loudspeakers must be equipped with a
line transformer.
The total connected power will be the sum of
the power absorbed by the loudspeakers and this must be between 50% below and 20% above the rated power of the amplifier.
The power absorbed by a loudspeaker with a
transformer is indicated on a 100 V line. If the amplifier is connected to the 70 V line, it will absorb half the indicated power, and if it is connected to the 50 V line, it will absorb a quarter of this power.

b) When an announcement that comes from the EMERGENCY analog input is played.
c) When an announcement configured as PRIORITY and originating from one of the ETH inputs is played.
d) When a pre-recorded message from the Coldfire Flash memory of the amplifier is played.
e) When a pre-recorded message from the Flash memory of the MP3 circuit of the amplifier is played.
4.10. USB input for pre­recorded messages in MP3 format
This connector allows to access to the amplifier MP3 Flash memory.
This memory can store files in MP3 format to be used as pre-recorded messages (see section
5.1).
4.11. Emergency (EMG) volume
Regulates the level of the signal applied to the emergency input.
4.12. PRE OUT volume
Regulates the level of the PRE OUT output.
4.13. Emergency input (EMERGENCY IN)
Unbalanced local analog input through an RJ45 connector. Its sensitivity is 0 dBu (775mV).
It has absolute priority over any other signal from the amplifier (ETH inputs, PRIORITY and PROGRAM inputs, and pre-recorded messages activated through the input/output contacts strip).
There are three types of emergency announcement:
Live voice emergency message: The audio channel of the emergency input is opened when pin
number 6 (speech preference) is connected to pin number 8 (GND) of the connector. Its activation has priority over any other signal from the amplifier, including the other types of emergency announcement.
Pre-recorded Evacuation message: This is pre-recorded message number 1 in the MP3 Flash
memory of the amplifier. It is activated when pin number 4 is connected to pin number 8 (GND) of the connector. Its activation has priority over the activation of the pre-warning message and all other signals from the amplifier.
Pre-recorded Pre-warning message: This is pre-recorded message number 2 in the MP3 Flash
memory of the amplifier. It is activated when pin number 5 is connected to pin number 8 (GND) of the connector. Its activation has priority over all signals from the amplifier that are not emergency signals.
Activation of any of the three types of emergency announcement activates the paging security auxiliary relay (see section 4.9).
The emergency input has a single volume adjustment situated on the back of the unit (see Figure 2, no.
11) and this affects the volume of live voice messages.

Figure 5. Connection of the emergency input with contact surveillance.
Cat 5 STP cable must be used for the connections.
The Emergency input has Emergency Surveillance (critical path) and Activation Contacts Surveillance:
Emergency Surveillance (critical path): The device connected to the emergency input must
generate a high frequency signal (17720 Hz, 18000 Hz, 19250 Hz or 20000 Hz). The system performs a constant check of the high frequency signal, generating an alarm in the event of short circuit, interruption of continuity or disconnection of this input. The alarm generated is sent through the IP network towards the control PC or the equipment units prepared to receive these alarms (DVA-102ETH, FC-600ETH, DC-600ETH). The emergency surveillance function must be configured by means of the P.A. Manager software (see section 6.7).
Activation Contacts
Surveillance: If the connections
shown in Figure 5 are made, the system monitors the priority contact and the two contacts for activation of pre-recorded messages from the emergency input. In the event of short circuit or disconnection, an alarm is generated.
