SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personnel properly qualified in the application and use of life safety
equipment (“qualified personnel”) shall read this manual carefully before
performing any actions to specify, apply, install, maintain and perform
operational tests of IED systems, and associated products in accordance with
the instructions in this manual. This manual shall be made available to all
qualified personnel who operate, test, maintain, or service IED systems, and
associated products. It is strongly recommended that such personnel read and
understand the entire manual.
WARNING: IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INSTALLATION, AND TESTING ARE NOT PERFORMED PROPERLY, CONDITIONS C COULD EXIST IN WHICH THE IED SYSTEM MAY NOT OPERATE, OR MAY OPERATE IMPROPERLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
It is very important that only responsible, trained personnel are allowed to
operate and maintain these systems, and that they use
only appropriate equipment and tools. If a person is not trained, they shall
contact the IED factory for direction on how to operate and maintain an IED
system.
Unauthorized personnel and equipment must be restricted from the areas of operation.
All operations should be performed carefully, methodically, and without
hurrying. Greater effectiveness will be developed by the increased familiarity
of personnel with their assignments. During any maintenance operation, if a
malfunction occurs or an incorrect indication appears, stop the operation and
determine whether or not it is safe to proceed. Before performing any step in
a procedure, be sure that the preceding step has been properly executed and
correct results obtained. Cleanliness and good housekeeping in all
installation areas are major factors in effective accident prevention. Tools
and equipment should be maintained in good working order and should always be
returned to their proper storage place after usage. Cleaning agents and other
cleaning aids should be removed from the equipment areas immediately upon
completing the task at hand.
-Changes, modifications, or additions in connection with the IED system equipment shall not be made without the explicit authorization of IED.
Safety devices found on mechanical, electrical, and electronic equipment are
put there for the protection of personnel and equipment. These devices must be
maintained in good working order and operative at all times. Safety devices
shall never be removed or bypassed unless specifically authorized by the IED
factory. Where safety devices have been rendered inoperable by proper and
specific authorization, adequate notices shall be posted to warn personnel of
the potential hazard.
Avoid the use of flammable or toxic cleaning fluids, and the use of carbon
tetrachloride is prohibited.
Maintenance of the equipment shall be at least what is specified in the IED
manuals and literature and performed only by qualified personnel.
Whenever operation and maintenance is ongoing, personnel in the equipment
areas shall have effective communication among these areas in order to protect
people if any accident occurs.
PRELIMINARY PRECAUTIONS
Precautions that are applicable to general electrical or electronic
maintenance are as follows:
a. Check yourself. Wear no article that might catch on equipment or that might
act as a conductor.
b. Check the working area. The equipment area shall be clean and dry. If
possible, stand on a special insulator such as a rubber mat. There should be
ample working space and good lighting.
c. Check the tools. Always use proper tools and check them for their safe
condition. Use screwdrivers with plastic handles.
Check test equipment periodically and examine test leads carefully as the
slightest break in insulation is dangerous.
d. Check the procedures. Study the entire procedure before taking the first
step. Consult the circuit diagram frequently to obtain an understanding of
what is accomplished at each step. Know what is in the equipment and how it
differs from others on which you have worked.
e. Be aware that high voltages may be present across terminals that are
normally low voltage, due to equipment breakdown. Be careful when measuring
low voltages in equipment containing high voltage circuits.
f. Do not make resistance measurements with power on.
g. Do not work within the equipment without the presence of a person who is
capable of rendering aid, and who is familiar with the procedure for emergency
shutdown of the equipment.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN MEASURING HIGH VOLTAGE POTENTIALS
Observe the following precautions when measurements must be performed on
circuits with potentials over 48 volts.
h. Do not measure potentials over 48 volts without the presence or assistance
of a person who is capable of rendering aid, and who is familiar with the
procedure for emergency shutdown of the equipment.
i. Be sure you are not grounded when you are adjusting equipment or using
measuring equipment. Stand on a rubber mat or other insulator if possible. Be
sure the equipment area is clean and dry. In general, use only one hand when
servicing live equipment.
j. If a test meter must be held or adjusted while voltage is applied, ground
the case of the meter before starting a measurement. Do not touch the live
equipment or personnel working on live equipment while holding the meter. The
“common” terminal on some A/C electronic voltmeters is at ground potential;
never connect the “common” terminal to any point above ground potential.
k. High-voltage, high-capacitance capacitors should be discharged before
servicing is started.
WARNING! Discharging must be done carefully and judiciously. First, ascertain whether there is a built-in bleeder network. If so, wait a minute or two for the capacitor to discharge through the network. Otherwise, use an external discharge network. This is most important in the case of high voltage or high capacitance capacitors. If one terminal is connected to the ground, connect the discharge network between the other terminal and the ground. If neither terminal of the capacitor is grounded, connect the network across the capacitor terminals. Connecting a short circuit across the terminals is not recommended. Doing so can produce extremely high currents and a flash which can injure the eyes, vaporize metals, and cause burns.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT
When it is necessary to work on energized equipment, think ahead and
anticipate every hazard. Never work alone on energized equipment.
Interlock switches are installed on some of the doors and panels to break the
power circuits when the enclosure is entered. When it is necessary to work
within such an enclosure on energized equipment, the interlock may be
bypassed. Extreme caution should then be exercised, as dangerous voltages are
present within the unit.
AC POWER CIRCUITS
Equipment obtaining power from a secondary distribution system should be
grounded at all times by means of a third grounding
wire on the power lines. Equipment permanently wired to a secondary
distribution system should also be grounded separately by
connection to a grounding bus or ground rod with a sufficiently large
conductor to handle the current expected if the secondary source is
accidentally shorted to the equipment.
The ground wire should be protected from mechanical damage and periodically
inspected for good physical condition.
Personnel should never depend on a switch to remove power from the equipment.
If the equipment is connected to the secondary distribution system by means of
a power cable, detach the cable from the receptacle before attempting any
repairs of removal of chassis.
If the equipment is permanently wired to the secondary distribution system,
remove the main fuses or open the power switch. Attach a suitable warning tag
to the switch which will warn personnel not to operate the equipment; only the
person who originally attaches the warning tag should be authorized to remove
it.
Introduction
The IPCSD Series digital communication stations provide immediate high-quality digitization of full bandwidth audio, and transmission over a standard Ethernet connection. The communication stations utilize the 501HH teardrop handheld microphone that includes a programmable push-to-talk switch. The station uses a metal magnet landing area for the 501HH to provide a storage position for the microphone. The IPCSD4 digital microphone station is a 4-button device for initiating audio/visual announcements, messages, and pages with the GLOBALCOM ® IP100 Series Announcement Control Systems. The IPCSD1 is a push-to-talk switch-only digital microphone station. It is a network appliance with a unique IP address that requires no configuration. Just like AtlasIED’s other digital microphone stations, the IPCSD Series uses a single Ethernet interface for audio and control data. The IPCSD Series is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the communication station to be powered directly from any standard, off-the- shelf PoE switch. These communication stations are designed to maximize the benefits of a standard Ethernet LAN-based network, using off-the-shelf switches and structured CAT5e or better cabling. The IPCSD Series utilize Dante ™ technology for transporting high-quality, low-latency digital audio over Ethernet.

Installation
IPCSD1/IPCSD4 Attached to Standard 2-Gang Electrical Box
The IPCSD1 and IPCSD4 are designed to fit on a standard 2-gang electrical box.
Install the unit into a box as shown in Figure 3 below.
This is the preferred installation method for wall mounting or any other
flush-mount applications. When this mounting method is used, the included
plastic back box should be removed and stored for any future needs, and use
the included screws for mounting the device in the 2-gang electrical box.
IEDA520DTB Desktop Base
The IEDA520DTB is available as an option when a desktop mounting solution is
preferred. The IPCSD1/IPCSD4 ships with the plastic back box that can be
attached to the unit as shown in Figure 4 below. The unit is then secured to
the base by tightening the retaining screws using the nuts located on the back
of the base mounting plate. The microphone station can be removed from the
base by loosening the retaining screws using the nuts located on the back of
the base mounting plate. The plastic box contains keyhole slots, so the screws
can be loosened enabling the unit to slide up and be removed from the base.
The DIP switches can then be accessed and the cables can be connected before
reattaching the communication station to the base. Simply tighten the retainer
screws with the nuts to secure the unit to the base.
Alternative Single-Gang Electrical Box Installation
The IEDA524-H is shipped with a plastic back box that can be used if the
installation does not allow for the recommended 2-gang electrical box
installation. This box can also be used later if the unit needs to be mounted
to a desktop base. The box has two keyholes that fit a standard single-gang
electrical box hole pattern. This allows the unit to be easily installed in
applications where single gang boxes may already be installed. The box
provides a slight forward slant which is excellent for surface mounting the
unit in a console.
Figure 5 illustrates the process for mounting the unit in such an application.
The washers shown are optional and can be used to
prevent the unit from being forced off of the box due to the keyhole mounting
points.
Figure 6 illustrates an alternative mounting option where the box has been
rotated 180° to provide a slight backward slant to the
microphone station. In this case, you must use appropriately sized washers
when attaching the box to the electrical box to prevent it from sliding off
due to the keyhole mounting points. When the plastic box is attached in this
orientation, you will need to make any connections prior to placing the unit
in the box. Use care when routing the cables as the clearance between the
connector and the box is minimal.
Complete Unit Configuration
The IPCSD1/IPCSD4 units have no separate configuration. They are configured
and controlled entirely from the GLOBALCOM®.IP
controller by adding them into the system project definition. See the System
Management Center (SMC) user manual or online help for specifics related to
this.
