Product Usage Instructions

1. Rack Mounting: Install the unit in a standard 19-inch rack, ensuring proper ventilation (1U space above and below is recommended).
2. System Connection: Link the DIVA8S to the Master Controller (DIVA8M) using the provided digital audio bus cables. Ensure the daisy-chain address is set correctly via the front-panel display or software.
3. Zone Wiring: Connect zone loudspeakers to the 8 output channels. Ensure impedance matching is observed according to the amplifier power rating.
4. Configuration: Use the ATEIS Studio software to configure zone routing, emergency sequences, and priority logic for microphones and input sources.
5. Monitoring: The front panel displays active zone status, fault indicators, and signal levels. Regular health checks via software are recommended for EN 54-16 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: Can the DIVA8S operate standalone without a Master?

A: No, the DIVA8S is a slave unit and requires a DIVA8 Master Controller to process audio routing, logic, and system-wide monitoring.

Q: Does it support remote monitoring?

A: Yes, through the ATEIS Net interface, the system status can be monitored remotely via a PC connected to the master controller.

Q: Is this system suitable for outdoor use?

A: The unit itself must be housed in a climate-controlled rack (indoor environment). However, it can drive outdoor-rated speakers if they are connected in accordance with local fire safety regulations.
