Hardware installation & connection
Rack mounting
Mount the IDA8C/IDA8C-SW/IDA8SAB/IDA8SL
unit in any standard 19-inch 2U audio equipment
rack using the supplied mounting brackets and
screws. Installing a IDA8S unit is similar to
installing a IDA8C, except the IDA8S unit is
installed in 19-inch 1U rack-mounting.
Consider leaving enough ventilation space above
and below the unit. Do not mount the controller
directly above the heat generating devices like
power supplies or power amplifiers.
Power supply
Use the supplied AC power cable to connect the
IDA8C/IDA8C-SW/IDA8SAB/IDA8SL unit to he
power outlet, and IDA8S unit by 24VDC. The
Power LED on the front panel will glow green
when power is applied.
If 24VDC power and AC mains power are
connected at the same time, IDA8C/IDA8C-SW/
IDA8SAB/IDA8SL will use AC power first, and
switch to DC power if there AC mains is not
present.
Ethernet (RJ45)
Use the supplied Ethernet cable (CAT5/6) to
connect the IDA8C processor to a computer.
The PC-based Ateis Studio software shall provide
all the necessary tools to setup, configure,
control and monitor the entire system.
ATEIS network
Local-net
Connect 1 IDA8C with another IDA8SAB unit
via Ateis local-net.

Hardware installation & connection 3
Connect 1 IDA8C and 2 IDA8SAB units via
Ateis local-net.
Global-net
Connect 2 IDA8C units together via Ateis
global-net and each IDA8C connects to
another 1 IDA8SAB unit via Ateis local-net.
External power amplifier
Connect the power amplifiers and loudspeakers on IDA8C processor, see the picture below.
In a case of IDA8C processor, it has 8 speaker zone outputs (Z1 to Z8). Each zone output consists of
2 redundant loudspeaker lines (line A and line B). Normally, the paging calls and BGM are distributed
to a zone over both loudspeaker lines. If one of the loudspeaker lines of a zone fails, it is still possible
to distribute the paging calls and BGM to the zone over the remaining loudspeaker line.
We recommend that the IDA8 controller connects to the floating output amplifier.
E.g. built-in transformer output for driving 70V and 100V loudspeakers such as BPA and DPA.
E.g. the amplifier module's AC/DC power supply and ground is floating ground from IDA8.

If the IDA8 controller is connecting to non-floating output amplifier, please disable the leakage monitor
function on Ateis Studio software > Monitoring > Global Setting > Enable Leakage.
Digital paging console
To connect one or several remote devices such as PPM-AS/CD-8AS/CD-16AS on IDA8C, they require to
add an external power supply via Junction Box (JB). For the first three remote devices and/or the first
300m of cable run, the power can be delivered by IDA8C. If the distance between IDA8C and JB is more
than 300m, the JB requires to add an external power supply.
Connect with one device
1. Connect the JB to IDA8C processor via 8-
pin STP CAT5/6 cable.
2. Connect the PPM-AS to JB via 10-pin
CAT5/6 with metal shielded connector.
3. Switch to [MASTER] switch on JB.
Connect the PPM-AS/CD-8AS/CD-16AS to multiple JB for longer distance:
1. Connect the JB to IDA8C processor via 8-pin STP CAT5/6 cable.
2. Connect the PPM-AS to JB via 10-pin CAT5/6 with metal shielded connector.
3. Switch to [MASTER] switch on JB which is connected to the PPM-AS, and switch to [SLAVE]
switch on the rest of JB.
4. If using the additional power supply, switch the [Power Switch] selection to the [External Power].

Cascade with multiple PPM-AS/CD-8AS/CD-16AS/URC-150AS devices:
To know the 8-pin STP CAT5/6 pinout using on URC-150AS, see 8-pin STP CAT5/6 cable for details.
Up to ten PPM-AS units can be connected via junction boxes on one IDA8.

"OK".
7. And there will be a message indicates as "Login successful".
8. Go back to [SYSTEM SET MENU-2] page and click [ETHERNET].
9. There are three fields: [IP ADDRESS], [SUBMASK] and [GATEWAY]. Change the settings to fit your
network. In this example, we changed the IDA8C's IP to 192.168.100.79.

Element adjustment
Set the element of Tone Generator:
oLevel (dB) = -10
oTone Button = On
oTone freq. (Hz) = 2.00k
Now you can see the channel 1 meter and hear a
2k tone from the speaker connected to the
Amplifier Zone Output (zone1) on the rear panel of
the IDA8C.
Step 6: system building-compile and store
