1 System Overview
The X-618 Public Address System provides a complete multiple sound source public audio
management solution. Centralized network management is achieved through the system software,
and all system states are monitored. The X-618 Public Address System is hereby referred to as the
“X-618” throughout the remainder of this manual.
The X-618 includes the following product components:
•X-DCS3000 Digital Integrated System Manager
The X-DCS3000 Digital Integrated System Manager is hereinafter referred to as the “DCS”.
When describing specific installation requirement, the X-DCS3000 is referenced.
The DCS is X-618 control equipment, is designed for expanding the number of loudspeaker
zones, and can support multiple sound source files for broadcasting. The system integrates
with functions such as the sound source file the storage system, the network audio
broadcasting system, the loudspeaker zone control system, and the system for monitoring and
diagnosing faults.
•X-DA1500/DA2250/DA4125 High Efficiency Power Amplifier
The X-DA1500/DA2250/DA4125 High Efficiency Power Amplifier is hereinafter referred to as
the “DA” or the “X-DA1500/DA2250/DA4125”.
In the X-618 system, the DA is used to amplify audio signal power and drive many
broadcasting loudspeakers.
•X-NPMS Configurable Network Paging Console
The X-NPMS Programmable Network Paging Console is used to page zones and control
broadcasts for the X-618 on an Ethernet network.
•X-NRI Network Resource Interface
The X-NRI Network Resource Interface is hereinafter referred to as the “NRI” or “X-NRI”.
The X-NRI is the external interface expansion control equipment in the X-618. It has multiple
audio interfaces and control ports enabling it to send audio and control signals through the
Ethernet network to the X-618 system.

•1070V audio connection cable
This cable is used to connect the DCS to the DA as well as the DCS to the loudspeakers in the
broadcasting zones. Shielded cables with a cross-section of 1.3mm
2
(wire gauge of 16AWG)
are recommended.
•DA backup power supply cable
This cable is used to connect DCS, DA to DC backup power supply. The wire of 9AWG is
recommended for DA, and the wire of 16AWG is recommended for DCS.
•Power amplifier audio input cable
Audio input cables are provided in the package containing the DA, but the lengths of these
cables are limited. If these cables cannot meet the requirements of the system wiring situation,
users need to obtain or create appropriate cables themselves. Please prepare such audio
input cables with the specifications as listed in Table 2. This cable should be a direct
connection.

Self-test port
•When the DA output voltage is VCC
(12V-24V), the DA is being self-tested.
•When the DA has no input voltage, the
DA is working normally.
•Power amplifier output cables
Unshielded cables with a cross-section of 1.3mm
2
(wire gauge of 16AWG) are recommended
for the power amplifier output.
•XLR audio input cable
Shielded pair cables with a cross-section of 0.3~0.5mm

•Dry contact input/output cables and related external equipment (optional)
The necessity of dry contact connections depends on the system situation. If the DCS and
external equipment, such as 3-wire volume controllers and 4-wire volume controllers, must be
connected through dry contacts, this equipment and the appropriate cables must be prepared
beforehand.
•Noise detector (optional)
When environmental noise is present and the volume of broadcasts need to be automatically
regulated, you will need a noise detector and the appropriate cables. For connecting the X-
DCS3000 with X-ND100, the maximum cable distance between the DCS and noise detector
should be no longer than 1000m, and twisted pair cables with a cross-section of 1.3mm
2
(wire
gauge of 16AWG) must be used.
•Monitoring module cable of end-of-line (optional)
If monitoring is required for faults in the speaker lines, use the X-EOL. The distance between
the monitoring module and the DCS should be less than 1000m, and twisted pair cables with a
cross-section of 1.3mm
2
(wire gauge of 16AWG) must be used.

3 System Installation
This chapter describes the system equipment installation, cable connections, and relevant
precautions.
•Installation Requirements of Cabinet
•Installing the Devices in the Appliance Cabinet
•Installing the NPM on a Fixed Surface (Optional)
•Connecting the X-618 System Components
•Connecting the Power Supply
Note:
•The electricity and power sources must be turned off when performing the following tasks to
avoid electric shocks and damage to the equipment.
•Turn off all equipment power supply switches prior to wiring.
•Connect the wiring terminals and tighten the screws.
•The power supply cables and signal data lines must be separated, and cannot be laid in the
same slot or piping.
•To avoid interference, the speaker lines and the power should be separated.
•Control signal cables must be positioned away from 1070V audio or power supply cables to
avoid signal interference.
•Appropriate materials, such as plastic ties, must be used for all connection cables. When
moving the cables, prevent the power supply cables from coming in contact with the signal data
cables.
•Install appropriate electrical cable bushings at the cabinet opening before installing the cables
in the appliance cabinets.
•The spaces reserved for the cables at the cabinet opening must be blocked if these spaces are
not used.
Installation Requirements of Cabinet
The X-618 system needs to be installed in a standard 19” cabinet. The ground wire is required to
be connected to the cabinet. There are specialized earth wires at the door and the bottom of
cabinet. Please refer to following steps for installation:
The cabinet door shaft contains one yellow screw as shown in Figure 4, identified with marker ① .
Figure 4, marker ② , represents another grounding terminal in the same position in the cabinet.
Connect the two terminals with a wire.
Connect the grounding screw of all devices in the cabinet to the grounding terminal. For safety
reasons, it is recommended to connect an external specified grounding terminal to the one on the
cabinet.

Figure 4 Schematic Diagram of Cabinet Grounding
All the devices of this system are equipped with a specialized grounding screw, marked with the
icon . After installing in the cabinet, cabinet grounding and device grounding should be
connected by a soft cable with a cross-section of 1.5mm
2.
Caution:
To prevent a grounding loop, be careful to not let a short circuit occur over the grounding wires.
During the installation of amplifier, to ensure a better cooling performance, 1U blind plate is
recommended between the amplifier and device.
Before installation, inner space of the cabinet should be arranged based on the actual number and
types of devices. The bottom plate needs to be installed, and the empty spaces can be filled with
blind disk.
The X-618 spare list includes foot for the bottom of the device, which is used for desktop
installation. Make sure there is no foot installed at the bottom of the device before installation.
Installing the Devices in the Appliance Cabinet
Installing the DCS, NRI and DA into the associated appliance cabinet
Installing the DCS, NRI and DA into the cabinet is done as follows:
1. Install brackets on the left and right sides of the DCS, as shown in Figure 5.
