Page 7: System Overview
This paragraph intend to briefly described the main DIVA properties. 1.4.1 General The DIVA8M module unit houses: audio digital processing (DSP), a matrix, a digital message player, a fully monitored fireman microphone, amplifiers monitoring with switchover to backup amplifier and loudspeaker lines monitoring.
Page 8 • Do not expose the DIVA to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, humidity, or dust, which could cause fire or electrical shock hazard. • Keep away water or other liquids from the DIVA. Otherwise fire or electrical shock may result. • Connect the power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as marked on the unit.
Page 9 • Do not use benzene, thinner, or chemicals to clean the DIVA. Use only a soft, dry cloth. • If the DIVA is moved from a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car) to a warmer environment, condensation may form inside the unit, which may affect performance. Allow the DIVA to acclimatize for about one hour before use.

Page 141: Explanation About Monitoring Process
10 Explanation About Monitoring Process The monitoring can be split into 2 different parts: Line monitoring (zones) and amplifier monitoring. Line monitoring is based on impedance measurement and amplifier monitoring on amplifier's gain measurement. Amplifier monitoring: The amplifier monitoring used a pilot tone at 18kHz or 20kHz that is adapted to pull out 2 Vrms. By measuring the output signal of the amplifier and computing it in the DSP, we can adjust the level of the pilot tone.

When music is routed to zone 1, the display shows 540 Ohm. As soon as a Voice call is routed on the zone 1, the display will show 545 Ohm. If no music or no voice call is routed on zone 1, the display will show 530 Ohm.
Page 143 Figure 1 : Chronogram for Coexist mode with 2 common zone Cancel All mode: when the highest priority event overwrites at least one zone of the lowest priority event, the lowest priority event will be totally deactivated while the highest priority event is active. The chronogram on figure 3 describes the process for cancel All mode situation: Event 1 lowest priority, zone 1, 2, 3 and 4, conflict mode: Cancel All.
