GDC PMA-2000 INSTALLATION MANUAL - 4 - November 13th, 2020
1 Introduction
The PMA-2000 is a power management device designed especially for theatre projection
rooms. It provides intelligent power supply management for theatre projection equipment,
giving exhibitors the means to achieve a complete unmanned projection system.
▪Retrofit installation means zero interference with the existing power supply system,
making seamless integration possible for theatres under construction or currently in
operation.
▪Intelligent power supply management system monitors and controls power routed to
a range of theatre equipment, including projectors, servers, audio systems and
luminance equipment.
▪Together with Theatre Management System (TMS) and Quality Management
System (QMS), unmanned projection can be achieved, based on the foundation of
automated projection.

3 Hardware Installation
The PMA-2000 power management device adopts wall-mounted installation.
The PMA-2000 power management device adopts wall-mounted installation. It is usually
installed adjacent to the power distribution box in the projection room, as shown in Figure 1.
The device has two outlet ports on either side for cable connections.
Figure 1: Mounting location for PMA-2000
When there is not enough space around the distribution box, the PMA-2000 can be
installed above or below the distribution box and the metal hose can be used for
wiring, as shown in Figure 2.

3. Hardware Installation
GDC PMA-2000 INSTALLATION MANUAL - 8 - November 13th, 2020
3.1 Introduction of Front Panel and Ports
The upper half of the device to designed to be a manual control panel and a status
display area. The buttons themselves are status light indicators. Illuminated indicator
means that the device connected to the corresponding output of the PMA-2000 is
powered up, while non-illuminated indicator means that the device is not powered. Due
to safety considerations, pressing the individual button will not execute power supply
connection/disconnection unless it is pressed concurrently with the ‘Unlock button’
located at the top right corner, to achieve manual control. The control buttons are
arranged in the order from left to right: Projector, Exhaust, Audio, Lights, Devices,
Masking, Aux-A, Aux-B.
Figure 3: Front panel of PMA-2000
The lower half of the device consists of the connecting terminal of the
corresponding control buttons, network connectors and the power switch for the
device. The connecting terminals of the Projector and Audio System adopts 65A
and the rated load current is 50A. The other connecting terminals adopt 30A and
the rated load current is 20A. The Projector, Audio System, Exhaust fan and Screen
Masking system are designed to be connected with 380V voltage device. The
Lighting system, Device sockets, Aux-a and Aux-b have regular 220V power
loading. The PMA-2000 is a device with 220V input voltage. Detailed connector
arrangement sequence and illustrations are shown in Figure 4.
Note: The power of the device should be connected shall not exceed the rated
power of the PMA terminal and wire load. Otherwise the device will be damaged.

GDC PMA-2000 INSTALLATION MANUAL - 9 - November 13th, 2020
Figure 4: Connectors on the PMA-2000
Two network ports have been provided on the PMA-2000 with in-built switching function.
The Management Network cable from the cinema control room is first connected to one
of these network ports and then routed to the single hall manageable switch via the other
network port. In this setup, the PMA-2000 is available on the network in case of power
failure to the single hall switch.

Step 5: Remove the PMA and use a
32mm hole opener to cut the hole. Polish
any sharp hole edge to prevent
breakage of any wires.
Step 6: Install PMA threading and connect
the corresponding incoming and outgoing
power supply wires according to the device
labels.

breaker should remain in the closed position.
4. Software Configuration
GDC PMA-2000 INSTALLATION MANUAL - 18 - November 13th, 2020
4 Software Configuration
4.1 Setting up IP Address
The default IP address for the PMA-2000 is 192.168.3.201. To change the IP, the
laptop network port must first be modified to that of the PMA network port, then
connected directly to the PMA with a LAN cable.
Run the IP configuration software (‘IP & MAC Config V2.1.1.exe’) on the PC/laptop.
Click on 'Advanced' followed by 'Search'. The current IP address of the PMA-2000
will be shown as well as the current IP of the PC/laptop. Only when both IPs are on the
same network subnet, the IP of the PMA will appear in Black. Otherwise, it will remain
greyed-out which implies the inaccessibility to the IP modification main interface.
Figure 12: Modifying the IP Address of PMA
Enter the IP address of the PMA-2000 in the 'IP address' field and leave the
‘Password’ field blank. Click 'OK' to enter the IP modification page. After accessing to
the page, first modify the gateway address, click 'Update' to save. Then modify the IP
address, and click 'Update' to save.
In case multiple PMA-2000 devices have been installed at a particular site, ensure that
each PMA device is assigned a unique MAC address. To do this, click on the
‘Generate random MAC address’button to generate a unique MAC address and then
click ‘Change’to save.
