Installation
To install the device in a 19-inch server rack:

Ensure the rack space meets the requirements mentioned in the Installation Considerations section.

Attach the rear support brackets to the server rack.
Secure the brackets with M6 mounting screws ensuring proper spacing for mounting brackets.

Front Panel Indicators

Power LED Indicator: Green indicates device on with power, yellow for sleep mode.

System LED Indicators: Green for no alarm, yellow for minor alarm, red for major alarm.
Channel LED Indicators: Display temperature, fan speed, signal level, and mute status.

Rear Panel Ports
The rear panel includes ports for power inlet, logic connectors, line inputs, factory reset pinhole, Ethernet ports, and loudspeaker outputs. Refer to the specific model for detailed port descriptions.

FAQ

What do the different LED indicator colors signify?
- The Power LED indicates device power status, System LED indicates alarm conditions, and Channel LED displays channel status like temperature, fan speed, signal level, and mute status.

How to reset the device to factory settings?
- Locate the factory reset pinhole on the rear panel and use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds to restore factory settings.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Install the device away from heat sources, such as vents, radiators, heat registers, and stoves.

Do not exceed the maximum ambient operating temperature of 32 – 104 F (0 – 40 C).
Avoid installing near water or steam.

See the product datasheets on Biamp.com for each Voltera device’s specification.

INSTALLATION

19-INCH SERVER RACK
Perform the procedures described to install the device in an AV equipment rack.

Verify the installation rack space meets the listed requirements in the Installation Considerations section of the title page.
Note: The included rear support brackets are designed to work in racks with a rear rack rail situated 280 to 600mm behind the front rail. If the rack rails are less than 430mm, mount the supports in the opposite direction.
Secure the included rear support brackets to the server rack.

Screw the M6 mounting screw into the appropriate hole for both rear support brackets. Leave enough room between the head of the screw and rear bracket for the slotted end of the mounting brackets.
Place the device in the rack using the slotted ends of the mounting brackets and securing the device to the rear support brackets using the M6 mounting screws.
Secure the mounting plate to the server rack.

Advance to the Connections procedures on page 7.

CONNECTIONS

PORTS / TERMINALS
Connect the amplified loudspeaker controller to the input and output devices in the AV system, as well as any voltage control, and input / output logic. See the descriptions in this section for details.

CONNECT THE INPUT DEVICES TO THE LINE LEVEL INPUTS

Connect input AV devices to the 3-pin inputs. The number of inputs varies by device model.

CONNECT THE LOUDSPEAKERS TO THE OUTPUTS

When connecting speakers to the outputs keep the following points in mind.

The number of outputs varies by device model.

To minimize power loss, use a speaker cable of appropriate gauge for the load impedance.
Use the supplied euroblock plugs to connect loudspeaker outputs.
If stranded speaker wire is used, be sure to incorporate all strands into the connector, as stray strands can short to the adjacent terminal or chassis.

Do not leave excessive bare wire outside the terminals, as this can lead to shorts.

OPTIONAL: CONNECT THE GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT / OUTPUT

Pin Functions
Note – the pin functions are factory set.

Pin 1 Input: Mute all / Active low
Pin 2 Output: Health output / Fault exists if low

Pin 3 Output: Sleep mode status / Unit asleep if low
Pin 4 Input: Sleep mode / In sleep mode when low

Potential: These ports are not potential-free. External relays may be needed to prevent ground loops depending on the application.

Pin Data

When activated, the ports are tied to GND through a FET transistor. (Also known as an open drain)
(Also known as an open drain)

OPTIONAL: CONNECT THE LOGIC INPUT / OUTPUT

These Logic I/O connections can be used as either inputs or outputs. They can be assigned to actions within Tesira software using Logic Input and Logic Output.

CONNECT THE RJ-45 ETHERNET PORTS

Connect network port 1 to a PoE+ switch to enable quick recovery of audio when the mains supply is temporarily lost. Audio from the device, including from the analog inputs, is not available while the device is powered from PoE+. Powering the device requires a compliant PoE+ class power source or above.

If using single cable mode for networking, use port 2.

If using separated networks, use port 1 for control and port 2 for media.

PLUG IN THE AMPLIFIED LOUDSPEAKER CONTROLLER
Always use the supplied detachable power cord, or an identical replacement with the current rating, with the amplified loudspeaker controller.

Attach the power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the device.
Plug the connected power cord into a grounded power outlet.

Begin by pressing the grille on the side that includes the amplifier type indicator text.
The opposite side of the grille lifts away from the device for easy removal.
Use the lifted side to remove the grille from the device and proceed to the cleaning the filter steps on page 14.

CLEANING THE DUST FILTERS

Remove the filters from the device.
Use a dry cloth to clean the chassis and the front panel.

Clean the filters using compressed air or wash with clean water to remove dust. If water is used, let the filters dry completely before reinstalling.
Reinstall the filters.
Carfully return the grille to the front of the device. Use the magnetic snap points and avoid pinch points.

Note: Air filter cleaning should be scheduled in accordance with the dust levels in the amplifier’s operating environment.
