4.1.1 IDA8C
4.1.1.1 Overview
The IDA8C Controller unit enables operators to see a detailed overview of the operational status of the
entire PA system with a single push button. The IDA8C Controller unit is able to run an impedance scan
of all components connected to it, covering not only the input paging consoles but including connectors,
cabling, and processing blocks such as compressors and limiters, delay lines and the network and
loudspeakers. It stores a reference measurement of the system as it exists in a given configuration and
environment. This reference is subsequently stored in the system. Any alterations to this reference will
be reported and are logged in an event log file. User definable thresholds can be applied to these
references, allowing for customization to match circumstances.
Being EN 54-16/ISO 7240-16 and BS 5839 part 8 security systems, all components and peripherals are
monitored. All incidents are recorded into a data file which can be consulted on the controller module
monitor display or on a PC using the ATEÏS Studio remote control software. Also, any detected fault is
signalled by a general fault output contact available on the IDA8C Controller unit. A built-in loudspeaker
output enables selective listening to all the sources and system’s 100 V output signals.
