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 AtlasIED 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 AtlasIED systems, and associated products. It is strongly recommend that such personnel read and understand the entire manual.

WARNING: IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INSTALLATION AND TESTING ARE NOT PERFORMED PROPERLY, CONDITIONS COULD EXIST IN WHICH THE ATLASIED 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 AtlasIED factory for direction on how to operate and maintain an AtlasIED 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 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.

General Precautions
Changes, modifications, or additions in connection with the AtlasIED system equipment shall not be made without explicit authorization of AtlasIED. Safety devices found on mechanical, and 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 AtlasIED 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 AtlasIED manuals and literature, and performed only by qualified personnel.

Whenever operation and maintenance is ongoing, personnel in the equipment areas shall have an effective communication among these areas in order to protect people if any accident occurs.

Preliminary Precautions
Precautions which 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.
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. 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.
D. 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 ground, connect the discharge network between the other terminal and 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 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.

Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltage should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation. Such information and training is available from the Red Cross or local emergency response personnel such as the police and fire department.

Introduction

The 1544ZOP 4×4 Smart Zone Output Processor provides all the network audio routing and zone digital signal processing functions of a DNA2404D integrated network amplifier unit. This includes Dante network audio input, equalization, level control, and IED’s patented AlwaysHEAR™ smart ambient analysis automatic level adjustment. The 1544ZOP provides four line-level balanced analog audio outputs for driving external amplifiers or powered line arrays. The 1544ZOP integrates with AtlasIED’s GLOBALCOM.IP announcement controller. Optionally, the processed zone output audio may be routed back out over the network as Dante digital audio.

In addition to the four zone outputs, the 1544ZOP has four balanced line-level analog inputs that may be used as automated test inputs associated with the four zone outputs. Alternately, the analog inputs may be routed out over the network as Dante digital audio for such uses as for background music or auxiliary audio sources.

The 1544ZOP also provides eight (8) logic inputs. Four of the inputs are standard closure detection and four are supervision capable, which provides the additional means to detect open or short conditions on the incoming links.

Inputs are provided for connecting up to eight (8) 540S ambient noise sensors (2 sensors for each output channel). This allows the output of each channel to be automatically adjusted in real time based on the measured ambient noise level in the zone.
