Introduction
The AtlasIED TSD-PA20VG is a cost-effective mono amplifier for 4Ωand distributed constant voltage (25/70/100V) speaker systems. Applications such
as house of worship cry rooms, hallways, restrooms, foyers, and classrooms will benefit from this compact reliable amplifier. The TSD-PA20V is also
a cost-effective alternative for small projector systems as it can be used with as many as (16) 25/70/100V ceiling speakers (tapped at 1W each), plus
the extremely small footprint allows for easy mounting. For sound masking applications the TSD-PA20VG has the capacity to drive up to 34 masking
speakers tapped at .5W each on a 70.7V line.
Output is gain controlled from a potentiometer on the front panel with removable knob to facilitate installation of a tamper-resistant cover (included).
The TSD-PA20VG is part of a full line of AtlasIED Time Saving Devices. These compact (1.5" x 4" x 5.2") units are designed to solve some of the
common audio system problems in the easiest, most efficient, and cost-effective way. All models are made from high quality components and include
removable individual I/O connectors for quick and precise wiring, separate ground terminals for all I/Os assuring secured connections, and removable
level controls that can be replaced with tamper-resistant security covers. The TSDs are highly efficient and meet most energy standards as one 24V
DC power supply (available separately) can power multiple AtlasIED Time Saving Devices.

Front Panel
1. Input Level Control
Determines the output level at the loudspeakers on the PA20VG. Turn clockwise to increase the signal level and counter-clockwise to decrease the
level. Note: The Input Level Control knob can be removed and replaced with a supplied security cover to prevent unauthorized adjustment.
2. Power LED
Illuminates Blue when 24VDC power is present.
3. Signal LED
Illuminates Green when the input signal strength reaches 25mV to verify a signal path.
4. Peak LED
Illuminates Red when the input signal reaches 3dBV below when signal clipping will occur. Occasional flashing is normal but if this indicator is
continuously On, then reduce the input level using the Input Level Control on the front panel.

Rear Panel
TSD Input/Output connections are removable for easy system wiring. The connectors have a 3.5mm pitch between pins.
1. DC Power Input
Each TSD that requires DC power comes with a 2 position connector for an external 24VDC power supply (sold separately). Because of the TSDs
low power consumption, a single external power supply may power more than one TSD. Please refer to the specifications on current requirements in
milliamps to match with the appropriate power supply. Please observe the polarity of the wiring to this connector. Note: It is acceptable to exceed the
current requirements of the TSDs but NOT safe to use a power supply that is below the current requirement of the device.
2. Balanced Line Input
Connect balanced line level signals to this phoenix style connectors. Your connection must be mated properly to the input connector or signal loss and/
or noise may occur. Note: Unbalanced line level inputs can also be used by connecting the (G) and (-) terminals together.
3. Speaker Outputs
Connect the loudspeaker wiring to these terminals, observing the polarity shown on the rear of the chassis. For low impedance loads, use the “COM”
and 4Ωterminals. For high impedance loads, use “COM” and the proper terminal for your system (25/70/100V). It is recommended to keep the sum
total of tapped loudspeakers to 20W.
4. Cable Management Retainer Points
Each TSD includes two cable retainer straps for securing the included cable management retainers. Remove one of the rear panel screws, align the
panel hole with a retainer and firmly tighten the screws.

Cable Management
Knob and Security Cover
All front panel level controls feature a removable knob that can be replaced with an included security cover. Follow these steps to prevent
potentiometer damage or unwanted changes.
1. Knob Installation
Turn the potentiometer shaft fully counter-clockwise. Align the knob indicator to the lowest setting on the panel and the potentiometer shaft slot.
Carefully press the knob onto the potentiometer shaft. Do not force or damage may occur to the potentiometer.
2. Security Cover Installation
Remove the knob from the panel and insert the cover. Small pliers may be required to remove the knobs. Align the security cover to the level control
panel hole. Push the cover into the hole until it snaps into place. Do not force or damage may occur to the potentiometer.

Mounting
Listed below are the ways to mount the TSD and the optional accessories that can be purchased.
1. Velcro™
Each unit includes two 2" x 2" pieces of industrial-grade Velcro™ with adhesive backing to adhere to any flat surface. Clean all surfaces before applying
the adhesive side of the Velcro™.
2. Multi Mount Plate
Each TSD includes a versatile multi-position mounting plate. This plate allows the TSD to be mounted to any surface; but is ideal for use with rear rack
rails or side rack hat channels. Use the included M3 x 4mm screws to install the plate on the TSD. Note: Only use the included M3 x 4mm screws
as other screws may be too long and will cause internal damage to the TSD. The multi-position mounting plate is a new addition being included with
TSDs. If the TSD being used did not include the mounting plate, contact AtlasIED customer service at 1-800-876-3333.
