1. INTRODUCTION
Audio interface with IP connection for COMPACT system.
It has four slots that allow to insert module amplifiers from MP-WD1* series (not included) and four local analog inputs (program
/priority) of configurable sensitivity.
Each zone output has connections for A / B lines (not implemented) and input for backup amplifier.
*Module amplifiers available: 120 W, 150 W, 250 W, 300 W & 460 W
Main characteristics:
Dual Ethernet connection for installations with redundant
network systems. The connection is constantly monitored
and switches automatically when required.
It is equipped with a full range power supply (100-240Vac
50/60 Hz) as well as a secondary battery 24 VDC (only for
the control part).
Four amplifiers outputs that incorporates DSP and
monitoring functions.
DSP functions:
-Controls for volume, bass and treble or 10 band filter
through the Call Point 3.2 software.
Monitoring functions:
-Monitoring of the speaker line: To accomplish this the
equipment injects different frequencies in the speaker
line; it then collects and analyses these frequencies to
determine the condition of the line (line open, short-
circuit, low impedance, high impedance or line in good
condition).
-Monitoring of the condition of the amplifier by
analysing the audio signal to detect if the power stage
has entered into protection mode or is turned off.
Front USB input for local BGM music.
CAN bus for communicating with the peripherals
(NS-CAN.
Reception of digital audio via an IP connection (4
simultaneous channels).
Reception and sending of control data via an IP
connection.
Monitoring of the operation of the equipment using
software and/or basic TELNET or SSH (Secure Shell)
functions.
Configuration of the IP address in Flash memory via
software and web page.
Constant notification (IP) of the status of the equipment
via a Heart Beat signal.
Pre-recorded messages residing in the equipment that
can be remotely updated using the Call Point software via
IP located in the internal Micro SD memory (16 GB).
Monitoring functions:
-of the speaker lines (short-circuit, open line and ground
leakage).
-of the amplifiers.
-of the primary and secondary power supplies.
-of the input contacts.
-of the pre-recorded messages.
Communication with external systems:
-VoIP: receiving of direct calls from any VoIP digital
telephone that uses standard SIP protocols.
Incorporates zone selection by sending DTMF tones.
Provides the possibility of protecting the access with a
password.
-Direct integration (XML, API/DLL and SNMP).
Allows housing module ME-200D (front evacuation
panel).

Handling batteries properly:
•Warning! Improper use of battery may lead to explosion. Replace the batteries with the same or equivalent type only.
•Batteries may endanger life if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
•Before inserting the batteries, check whether the contacts in the device and batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean
them.
•Only use new batteries.
•Do not use rechargeable batteries
•Never try to recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
•Never expose batteries to heat sources (e.g. radiators) or direct sunlight. There is an increased risk of leakage!
•Never short-circuit the batteries.
•Never throw batteries into a fire.
•Do not disassemble or deform batteries.
•If the equipment is not going to be used for long periods, remove the battery.
•Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. If battery acid leaks out it is essential to avoid contact with the skin,
eyes and mucous membranes! If the acid does come into contact with skin, immediately rinse the affected areas with plen-
ty of clear water and consult a doctor immediately. There is a risk of acid poisoning and acid burns!
•Remove exhausted rechargeable battery from the device immediately! There is an increased risk of leakage
•Do not throw used batteries into the household waste. The batteries must be deposited in a collection point for used bat-
teries.
4. PLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY
From the Call Point software it is possible to create message time schedules and volume time schedules, and send these schedules
to the equipment. In this way, it is not necessary a server PC to activate the time schedules, but it is the computer that activates
them automatically.
To do this, the equipment incorporates an RTC (Real-Time Clock) whose function is to maintain the current time. To keep the RTC
powered even if the equipment is turned off, we must place a 3V lithium battery type CR2032 supplied with the equipment.
It is advisable to replace the equipment battery at least every 5 years.
Battery placement procedure:
1) Open the battery compartment by removing the screws that hold it.
2) Insert the battery respecting the polarity indicated in the figure 5.
3) Insert the battery compartment in its place and fix it with the
screws.

5.4.Local Audio Inputs
Each of the inputs corresponds to a channel (CHANNELS 1, 2, 3 and 4), and each channel corresponds to an amplifier. In this way,
the CHANNEL 1 input corresponds to the amplifier inserted in slot 1, the CHANNEL 2 input corresponds to the amplifier inserted in
SLOT 2, the CHANNEL 3 input corresponds to the amplifier inserted in SLOT 3 and the CHANNEL 4 input corresponds to the
amplifier inserted in SLOT 4.
These inputs are balanced by transformer, with a configurable sensitivity using the Call Point software: -6dB, -3dB, 0dB, + 3dB, +
6dB.
With a DIP switch, the local inputs can be configured as program or priority inputs. In the PROGRAM position, the audio applied to
the input is sent directly to the amplifier of the corresponding channel. In the PRIORITY position, the audio applied to the input will
be sent to the corresponding amplifier when the priority contact (PRI) is connected to ground (GND).

5.6.Input contacts
The IF-7P4ETH/0 incorporates three input contacts (INPUT CT 1, 2 and 3).
If you wish, the system may monitor these contacts (short-circuit or open line detection).
5.7.Output contacts
The IF-7P4ETH/0 incorporates three output contacts.
Each contact has two terminals (A and B) configured as dry contacts.
5.8.BUS CAN connection
For the connection of the CAN bus it is recommended to use a shielded twisted pair AWG24 cable.
5.8.1. Connection of peripherals NS-CAN to the IF-7P4ETH/0
Attention: The factory setting of the
communication speed of the IF-7P4ETH/0
is 500 kbit/s. To communicate with the
NS-CAN noise sensors, it is necessary to
modify the communication speed of the
IF-7P4ETH/0 via web connection from 500
kbit/s to 33.3 kbit/s (see section 7.2).

5.8.2. CAN Bus connection between the IF-7P7ETH/0 and the IF-7P4/0E slave units
The capacity of each IF-7P4ETH/0 (4 modular amplifiers) can be expanded by adding to the installation IF-7P4/0E slave units, with
the capacity of 4 amplifiers per slave.
Each IF-7P4ETH/0 can control up to
10 IF-7P4/0E slave units,
communicating through a CAN bus.
The IF-7P4ETH/0 communicates
with the slave units IF-7P4/0E at a
transmission speed of 500 kbit/s.
The factory setting of the
communication speed of the
IF-7P4ETH/0 is 500 kbit/s.
Use the web connection if it is
necessary to change the
communication speed of the
IF-7P4ETH/0 (see section 7.2).
5.9.Connection between the IF-7P4ETH/0 and the IF-7P4/0E slave units using the IF-PLINK
expansion module (not included)
Use the AUDIO LINK connectors to connect the different audio matrices, expanding the audio bus (see figure 20). It is also
necessary to connect the CAN Bus between the matrices (see figure 19).

5.10. Front USB connector: Playing music from an external memory
The unit has a USB 2.0 port on the front panel for use as a musical program input. To do this, connect to this port an external
memory that contains audio files in MP3, WAV or OGG format. Audio files can be contained in folders or directly at the root of
external memory.
Through the Call Point software you can configure the parameters corresponding to this music program (random playback of audio
files, music activated or deactivated by zones...). If random play is not activated, audio files will be played in alphanumeric order.
