The picture on the right shows the setting
window for backup configuration in the Advance
Backup Amplifier Setup:
Amount: The number of backup amplifiers
in system. The list content of the combo
box in an amplifier depends on this value.
For example, if Amount = 3, then the list
content should be none (zero), 1, 2, 3.
Field [Device] of Grid: List the devices in
the same Ateis network.
Field [Zone Board] of Grid: List the zone
boards of the device. Zone Board1 means
Zone1 to Zone4, Zone board2 means Zone5
to Zone8.
Field [Amplifier] of Grid: Set the group
without zones. In the above figure, IDA8S1
Zone board1(Zone1~Zone4 of IDA8S1),
IDA8S2 Zone Board1(Zone1~4 of IDA8S2),
IDA8S2 Zone Board2(zone 5~8 of IDA8S2)
are the same value (i.e. those zones are
the same group and use the same amplifier
for backup).
4.5 Bypass Mode
The IDA8C/S provides a safe mechanism for paging when the microchip inside the device is not
working. This is called Bypass Mode Paging. When the system is in Bypass Mode Paging, the
paging source through the normal amplifier is directed without DSP component processing, and the
backup amplifier cannot work due to the micro-controller crash.
Sources of Bypass Mode Paging:
There are two source as input of bypass mode paging:
Fireman microphone:
A Fireman microphone is a microphone with a button which can be plugged into the front
panel of the IDA8. When the system is under Bypass Mode Paging, press the button to
start paging and release button to end paging.
Audio coming from PDC1:
The IDA8C allows you to use the PDC1 port as the source of bypass paging. It needs a
button to start paging. The by-pass mode input contact can connect to a button for triggering
Bypass Mode Paging.
The Fireman microphone has a higher priority than PDC1 source.
Condition of Bypass Mode Switching:
There are two ways to switch the system state to Bypass Mode Paging:
Hardware monitoring:
In IDA8 devices, there are hardware monitored mechanisms to detect a micro controller
crash. The system switches to Bypass mode paging if a micro controller crash is detected.
Bypass mode input contact:
Connect the pin CMD and pin GND of the bypass-mode input to a button. This input contact
can trigger Bypass Mode Paging.
