Please consider these general instructions in addition to any product‐specific instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual. Unpacking Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit, it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable. Repair must only be performed by trained personnel in accordance with the applicable regulations. Installation Site Install the unit in a place where the following conditions are met: The temperature and the relative humidity of the operating environment must be within the specified limits during operation of the unit. Values specified are applicable to the air inlets of the unit. Condensation may not be present during operation. If the unit is installed in a location subject to large variations of ambient temperature (e.g. in an OB‐van), appropriate precautions must be taken. Unobstructed air flow is essential for proper operation. Ventilation openings of the unit are a functional part of the design and must not be obstructed in any way during operation (e.g. ‐ by objects placed upon them, placement of the unit on a soft surface, or improper installation of the unit within a rack or piece of furniture). The unit must not be unduly exposed to external heat sources (direct sunlight, spot lights). Ambient Temperature Units and systems by FiberPlex are generally designed for an ambient temperature range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of +5...+40 °C. When rack mounting the units, the following facts must be considered: The permissible ambient temperature range for operation of the semiconductor components is 0 °C to +70 °C (commercial temperature range for operation). The air flow through the installation must allow exhaust air to remain cooler than 70 °C at all times. Average temperature increase of the cooling air shall be about 20 C°, allowing for an additional maximum 10 C° increase at the hottest components. If the cooling function of the installation must be monitored (e.g. for fan failure or illumination with spot lamps), the exhaust air temperature must be measured directly above the modules at several places within the enclosure.

Disposal Disposal of Packing Materials The packing materials have been selected with environmental and disposal issues in mind. All packing material can be recycled. Recycling packing saves raw materials and reduces the volume of waste. If you need to dispose of the transport packing materials, recycling is encouraged. Disposal of Used Equipment Used equipment contains valuable raw materials as well as substances that must be disposed of professionally. Please dispose of used equipment via an authorized specialist dealer or via the public waste disposal system, ensuring any material that can be recycled has been. Please take care that your used equipment cannot be abused. After having disconnected your used equipment from the mains supply, make sure that the mains connector and the mains cable are made useless. Disclaimer The information in this document has been carefully checked and is believed to be accurate at the time of publication. However, no liability is assumed by FiberPlex for inaccuracies, errors, or omissions, nor for loss or damage resulting either directly or indirectly from use of the information contained herein. ...

Introduction The ADP‐2981 / ADP‐2982 is a stand‐alone wall or shelf mountable loudspeaker unit. Each unit houses and powers an 8‐inch speaker and, in the case of the ADP‐2981, a high‐intensity strobe. The unit utilizes FiberPlex FOI series modules to extend Public Address and Mass Notification systems via fiber. External audio signals such as voice announcements, music, a doorbell buzz, etc. are first connected to a FOI‐2981 or FOI‐2983. This FOI unit then transmits the signal via a fiber optic link to a FOI‐4982, conveniently housed and powered by an ADP unit. From there the FOI‐ 4982 drives up to 10 ADP units in a daisy chain. Each ADP unit is equipped with an AC line‐powered supply to drive the amplifier and supply DC power to an attached FOI module. The ADP‐2981 also contains a strobe annunciator, useful for areas with high background noise or those with hearing difficulties. A knob on top of the unit controls the volume threshold that the audio must exceed for the strobe to flash. Key Features Provides power to a single FOI Module Accepts unbalanced line level audio from any FOI audio source including FOI‐4982, FOI‐7280 or other FiberPlex FOI line level audio devices. Backwards compatible with legacy FOI‐2982 with optional spacer installed. ADP units may be linked on a copper audio daisy‐chain scheme, up to 10 units long, with no unit configuration required. Using the FOI‐7280, ADP units can be fiber daisy‐chained The fiber optic isolator is accessible and removable through the front of the enclosure. One standard regionally‐appropriate power cord is included with each panel. The AC mains fuse is of a common type and readily changed without disassembly of the unit. The unit can be mounted at a downward angle to facilitate better sound projection when mounted near the ceiling. The enclosure is durable, corrosion resistant aluminum alloy with an anodized finish. ...
Getting Started Initial Inspection Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection. Mounting the ADP Unit Mount the empty ADP unit using fasteners appropriate to your wall or shelf construction standard. All four (4) mounting points MUST be utilized. Ensure that there exists adequate clearance for the power cable and optical fiber run. The unit should be located in an environment where an ambient temperature between 0° and 50° C may be maintained. The ADP may be mounted in any orientation, provided the speaker achieves acceptable sound propagation and the strobe is visible. The slots in the mounting brackets may be utilized to adjust the speaker angle downward. To adjust the angle, loosen the 4 screws that attach the brackets to the ADP unit, position to the designed angle and tighten screws. SLOTS FOR ANGLED MOUNTING Figure 1 Mounting the ADP Unit ...
Getting Started Power Requirements The ADP module will accept voltages from 100‐240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Maximum power consumption is 19W. The ADP module conveniently supplies power to any installed FOI unit via a backplane connector. Although the FOI communications modules are designed to be hot swappable, it is optimal practice to insert a module into the ADP prior to the application of AC power. Fuse Replacement To access the fuse, disconnect the power cord, then slide open the compartment on the power inlet and replace the fuse. The power supply is protected by a single 0.25A time‐delay fuse (Littlefuse model 218.250 Slo‐Blo). A spare fuse is stored on the outer position of the fuse holder. Replacement fuses must have the required current rating and must be of the specified type. Use of repaired fuses and/or bypass of the fuse holders are prohibited and will void the warranty.

Installing FOI Modules The current generation of ADP module is designed to accept size 4 FOI modules such as the FiberPlex FOI‐4982, but it is backwards compatible with the older FOI‐2982. To use one of these older modules, contact FiberPlex and request a compatibility spacer. This spacer is a foam pad with an adhesive backing that can be affixed to either the inside of the ADP, or directly to the FOI module itself. This will ensure that the FOI‐2982 slides easily into place and fits properly. Please note that older generation of ADP modules are NOT compatible with the newer FOI‐4982.
