Used to display the control menu, faults, and configuration data. power green Lit only if the unit is receiving DC power from both sources. processor green Flashes to show that the processor is healthy. comms fault SELECT BACK DEFAULT FAULT ACCEPT FAULT CLEAR AUDIO MON LAMP TEST 4 Rotary Encoder green amber Lit to indicate communication activity between the main processor and the amplifier units. Flashes on receipt of a message from an amplifier unit. Lit to indicate that the unit has detected a system fault. Flashes if a fault has not yet been accepted. The left and right arrow keys move the item selection in the direction selected, to the next item in the menu. The selected item is indicated by [brackets] around the selection. The up and down arrow keys toggle a selection, or increment a number, or a letter of the alphabet when editing. The rotary encoder acts in the same manner as these keys, and enables faster editing. Press after selecting an item to confirm the selection. Press after selecting an item to cancel the selection. If pressed repeatedly, this returns the display to the top-level menu. Press to clear previously configured text strings quickly during system configuration, or to return fields to their default values. Accepts all current faults, steadies the flashing fault LED indication, and turns off the audible alarm until a new fault condition occurs. Clears all faults and sets all connected equipment to the 'no faults' state, which also cancels any amplifier changeovers in effect. If there are any faults present in the system then they are detected anew, and reported again. Selects Audio Monitor sub-menu on the LCD display. Tests all indicators on the VAR and on all connected amplifier units. The sounder is also tested. The display shows LAMP + SOUNDER TEST and the menu locks during this time. This function is also available from the Tests menu. Multi-function: An alternative for the and arrow keys for fast increment and decrement of menu items. During Audio Monitoring it also acts as a volume control. 5 Loudspeaker Dual function: Alarm Sounder and Audio Monitor. Page 5 of 20

7 Recommended Installation Procedure Please read and observe the instructions and guidelines in Section 5 Safety and Precautions (page 17) prior to installation. Failure to follow these instructions and guidelines may cause personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. 1. Fit the VAR4 into a 19-inch standard equipment rack on supporting rails, and secure the unit in position using the fixing screws and washers provided; see Figure 1. Ensure that there is at least 1U of ventilated space between the unit and any source of heat (e.g. Amplifier Mainframes). Figure 1 Installing the VAR4 into the rack VENTILATION PANEL VAR4 VENTILATION PANEL 1U 1U 1U GENERIC 19-INCH 1U FORMAT ENSURE 1U VENTILATION PANELS ARE FITTED ABOVE AND BELOW THE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT OBSTRUCT VENTILATION HOLES. M6 POZIDRIV SCREW M6 PLAIN WASHER M6 CAGE NUT SUPPORTING RAILS MUST BE USED. 2. Set the rear-panel EARTH LIFT switch to the grounded position (, ON); see Figure 2. Only set the EARTH LIFT switch to the ungrounded position ( supply is used., OFF) if a +ve ground battery Figure 2 Setting the Earth Lift switch EARTH LIFT SWITCH: ON (RIGHT-HAND SIDE POSITION) Page 7 of 20

Please refer to Section 3 Connections (page 9) for pinout details. Figure 3 Connecting the field wiring RS485 CONTROL PORTS AUDIO INPUTS (UNBALANCED) RS232 AUDIO CAN AUDIO OUTPUTS AUDIO INPUTS (BALANCED) 5. Connect the dual power supply to the rear panel connectors; see Figure 4. 1) Ensure power supply cabling is adequately rated. 2) Always route power supply cabling away from amplifier input cabling in the equipment rack to reduce the risk of noise pick-up. Figure 4 Connecting the DC power supply Wago Connectors: Use one of the two methods shown in the diagram below to terminate the cabling in the Wago connectors. When the screwdriver is removed, the bare end of the wire will be held securely by the contact spring. To remove the wire, reverse the process. DUAL DC POWER SUPPLY: V DC 6. Power the unit on from the central equipment rack. 7. The installation is now complete and ready for system commissioning. Page 8 of 20

16 4 Mechanical Dimensions Figure 5 VAR4 mechanical dimensions 436 mm 222 mm 252 mm 258 mm 44 mm = 1 U 483 mm THIRD ANGLE PROJECTION 1) ASL recommend a rear clearance depth of at least 110 mm for cabling. A 19-inch standard rack with 600 mm depth provides the required room for installation including the rear cabling. 2) In order for customers to produce their own site documentation drawings of the front and rear panel are available from ASL. Page 16 of 20

17 5 Safety and Precautions Environmental Always ensure adequate ventilation is provided for the equipment by fitting 1U ventilation panels above and below the equipment and do not obstruct ventilation holes. The temperature and humidity ranges shown in the specifications for this product must not be exceeded. This equipment must not be installed in an area that is subject to a corrosive atmosphere, excessive moisture or may allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the unit or its external connections. Electrical Safety Ensure power supply cabling is adequately rated. Always route power supply cabling away from amplifier input cabling in the equipment rack to reduce the risk of noise pick-up. Always replace blown fuses with the correct type and rating. Unpacking and Handling The equipment should be unpacked and inspected immediately on receipt. If damage has occurred please advise your carrier or supplier. This equipment contains electronic devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Please take precautions to avoid damage to the electronics by static electricity. It is advisable to retain the original equipment packing in the event that the equipment ever needs returning for service. Ensure that the name and address of the Authorised Distributor from whom you purchased the unit is recorded on the Service and Warranty page of this manual for future reference. Packing for Return for Repair All electronics assemblies must be properly packed in ESD protective packing for transport, to prevent physical and ESD damage. ESD Precautions This product contains static-sensitive devices. Observe ESD precautions when handling this product. An ESD bonding point is provided on the rear panel of the unit. EMC In the close proximity of some radio frequency transmitters, the signal to noise ratio of this product may be reduced. If this occurs, re-location of the equipment or the signal cables is recommended. The filler material used for packing for return for repair must be antistatic or static dissipative, as this may come into contact with exposed connectors, wiring, or PCB assemblies. The use of nonconductive filler material may cause damage to the electronic assemblies reducing their operational life, or even destroying them. Advice on packing the product for return can be provided by ASL. Lithium Battery This product contains a lithium battery. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Dispose of battery carefully to avoid environmental damage. Do not dispose of battery in a fire. Page 17 of 20
