Unpacking
Checktheequipmentforanytransportdamage.Iftheunitismechanicallydamaged,ifliquidshavebeenspilledorifobjectshavefallenintothe
unit,itmustnotbeconnectedtotheACpoweroutlet,oritmustbeimmediatelydisconnectedbyunpluggingthepowercable.Repairmustonlybe
performedbytrainedpersonnelinaccordancewiththeapplicableregulations.
InstallationSite
Installtheunitinaplacewherethefollowingconditionsaremet:
 Thetemperatureandtherelativehumidityoftheoperatingenvironmentmustbewithinthespecifiedlimitsduringoperationofthe
unit.Valuesspecifiedareapplicabletotheairinletsoftheunit.
 Condensationmaynotbepresentduringoperation.Iftheunitisinstalledinalocationsubjecttolargevariationsofambient
temperature(e.g.inanOB‐van),appropriateprecautionsmustbetaken.
 Unobstructedairflowisessentialforproperoperation.Ventilationopeningsoftheunitareafunctionalpartofthedesignandmust
notbeobstructedinanywayduringoperation(e.g.‐byobjectsplaceduponthem,placementoftheunitonasoftsurface,or
improperinstallationoftheunitwithinarackorpieceoffurniture).
 Theunitmustnotbeundulyexposedtoexternalheatsources(directsunlight,spotlights).
AmbientTemperature
UnitsandsystemsbyFiberPlexaregenerallydesignedforanambienttemperaturerange(i.e.temperatureoftheincomingair)of+5...+40°C.
Whenrackmountingtheunits,thefollowingfactsmustbeconsidered:
 Thepermissibleambienttemperaturerangeforoperationofthesemiconductorcomponentsis0°Cto+70°C(commercial
temperaturerangeforoperation).
 Theairflowthroughtheinstallationmustallowexhaustairtoremaincoolerthan70°Catalltimes.
 Averagetemperatureincreaseofthecoolingairshallbeabout20C°,allowingforanadditionalmaximum10C°increaseatthe
hottestcomponents.
Ifthecoolingfunctionoftheinstallationmustbemonitored(e.g.forfanfailureorilluminationwithspotlamps),theexhaustairtemperaturemust
bemeasureddirectlyabovethemodulesatseveralplaceswithintheenclosure.

TheunitutilizesFiberPlexFOIseriesmodulestoextendPublicAddressandMassNotification
systemsviafiber.Externalaudiosignalssuchasvoiceannouncements,music,adoorbellbuzz,etc.
arefirstconnectedtotheFOI‐2981.ThisFOIunitthentransmitsthesignalviaafiberopticlinkto
aFOI‐4982,convenientlyhousedandpoweredbyanADPunit.FromtheretheFOI‐4982drivesup
to10ADPunitsinadaisychain.
EachADPunitisequippedwithanACline‐poweredsupplytodrivetheamplifierandsupplyDC
powertoanattachedFOImodule.
TheADP‐2981alsocontainsastrobeannunciator,usefulforareaswithhighbackgroundnoiseor
thosewithhearingdifficulties.Aknobontopoftheunitcontrolsthevolumethresholdthatthe
audiomustexceedforthestrobetoflash.
KeyFeatures

GettingStarted
InitialInspection
Immediatelyuponreceipt,inspecttheshippingcontainerfordamage.Thecontainershouldbe
retaineduntiltheshipmenthasbeencheckedforcompletenessandtheequipmenthasbeen
checkedmechanicallyandelectrically.Iftheshipmentisincomplete,ifthereismechanical
damage,oriftheunitfailstooperatenotifyFiberPlexandmaketheshippingmaterialsavailable
forthecarrier'sinspection.
TypicalApplication

Figure1TheFAK‐2981asitistypicallyused,shownwithaFiberPlexWaveguide(notincluded)
MountingtheADPUnit
MounttheemptyADPunitusingfastenersappropriatetoyourwallorshelfconstruction
standard.Allfour(4)mountingpointsMUSTbeutilized.Ensurethatthereexistsadequate
clearanceforthepowercableandopticalfiberrun.Theunitshouldbelocatedinanenvironment
whereanambienttemperaturebetween0°and50°Cmaybemaintained.TheADPmaybe
mountedinanyorientation,providedthespeakerachievesacceptablesoundpropagationandthe
strobeisvisible.Theslotsinthemountingbracketsmaybeutilizedtoadjustthespeakerangle
downward.Toadjusttheangle,loosenthe4screwsthatattachthebracketstotheADPunit,
positiontothedesignedangleandtightenscrews.

GettingStarted
PowerRequirementsandMounting
TheADPmodulewillacceptvoltagesfrom100‐240VAC,50/60Hz.Maximumpowerconsumption
is19W.TheADPmoduleconvenientlysuppliespowertoanyinstalledFOIunitviaabackplane
connector.AlthoughtheFOIcommunicationsmodulesaredesignedtobehotswappable,itis
optimalpracticetoinsertamoduleintotheADPpriortotheapplicationofACpower.
TheFOI‐2981acceptspowerfromtheincludedPSQ‐2909forfullrangeACoperation.Toassemble
thePSQ‐2909totheFOI‐2981,alongwiththeoptionalWMA‐3002mountingbracket,matethe
twomodulesasshownbelowandtightenthetwothumbscrewsonthePSQ.

FuseReplacement
Toaccessthefuse,disconnectthepowercord,thenslideopenthecompartmentonthepower
inletandreplacethefuse.Thepowersupplyisprotectedbyasingle0.25Atime‐delayfuse
(Littlefusemodel218.250Slo‐Blo).Asparefuseisstoredontheouterpositionofthefuseholder.
Replacementfusesmusthavetherequiredcurrentratingandmustbeofthespecifiedtype.Use
ofrepairedfusesand/orbypassofthefuseholdersareprohibitedandwillvoidthewarranty.

InstallingFOIModules
ThecurrentgenerationofADPmoduleisdesignedtoacceptsize4FOImodulessuchasthe
FiberPlexFOI‐4982,butitisbackwardscompatiblewiththeolderFOI‐2982.Touseoneofthese
oldermodules,contactFiberPlexandrequestacompatibilityspacer.Thisspacerisafoampad
withanadhesivebackingthatcanbeaffixedtoeithertheinsideoftheADP,ordirectlytotheFOI
moduleitself.ThiswillensurethattheFOI‐2982slideseasilyintoplaceandfitsproperly.Please
notethatoldergenerationofADPmodulesareNOTcompatiblewiththenewerFOI‐4982.
