User and Installation Manual Compact MPA 5.2.7 AMPLIFIERS The number of loudspeakers, their tapping (actual power output) and, in some cases, the zone segmentation determines the necessary number of amplifiers in the amplifier pool. In a fixed line level (100V) system such as the Compact MPA, the requirement for amplifier power is exactly the same as the loudspeaker output figure.
This is a part of the system setup and must be determined either in the factory (FAT) or during System installation and commissioning. Configuration of the GA characterisics is an option within the MPA 1600 web configuration facility, which is described in section 6.
User and Installation Manual Compact MPA 5.5 POWER The operating power is 115/230 VAC as primary, and 24VDC, alternatively 115/230 VAC as secondary. The Compact MPA system will automatically switch between primary and secondary power sources in case of power supply failure. A secondary power supply must be present at transition to emergency power supply in order to avoid the system boot sequence of approximately 30 seconds.
User and Installation Manual Compact MPA 5.9 FASTENING Where applicable, the cables and the conductors shall be clamped to the structure with cable ties. 5.10 PRECAUTIONS Prior to, during, and after installation the equipment must be handled with care. And protected against acidic fluids, pollu- tion, moisture, impacts etc.

The tests will also show that the basic performance requirements (e.g. Signal Levels and functions) are met. These commissioning tests are targeted towards a IMO/SOLAS certified system and relies on the MPA 1600 to configured to comply with those requirements. Please see the Prerequisites section of the Operating Procedure for details on the necessary configuration options.
User and Installation Manual Compact MPA 8.4.2 MPA 1601/1643 TALK UNITS The 1643 unit is an EX variant of the MPA 1601 talk unit, and the procedure to test this unit is identical to the 1601. 8.4.2.1 NORMAL PAGING Paging may be performed in any combination of the six zones. Zones are selected by the MPA 1601 zone-keys, and activated by the PA-key.
User and Installation Manual Compact MPA 8.4.2.4 PRIORITY BY NORMAL PAGING "PA" The MPA system is a single access system. Meaning that only one operator can use the system at any time. The priority is programmable by software. If operator I has higher priority than operator II, then operator I can override operator II. However, the operator II can override I with the use of Emergency PA (EM-PA) key.
8.4.4 MPA 1603 ALARM PANEL 8.4.4.1 ALARM SETTING The MPA 1600 can handle 4 different alarm types. The General Alarm is mandatory by the IMO/SOLAS specifications, the others are optional and thus of lower priority and significance. The alarms can be activated from the MPA 1603 alarm panel. All alarms will temporarily override any PA activity from any users.
In no cases should the sound level exceed 120 dBA. To ensure this, the MPA 1600 system makes use of the industrial standardized 100 V line distribution system. This is a distribution system that is based on a fixed line level (100V) and where the loudspeaker output power is determined by means of loudspeaker type and power tapping.
