conventional multimeters are not efficient). For more information, you can consult more specific documentation on impedance measurement on the LDA Support website. a) Backup amplifier: ONE has two amplifiers and an amplification output matrix system, each of the 6 ONE outputs can have 3 different sources: amplifier 1 (audio 1), amplifier 2 (audio 2) and mute (without audio). -
Page 17: Ptt Mic Input
2.2.6 PTT Mic input A dedicated input is available for connection of a PTT microphone with emergency microphone function. At the physical level, the audio connection is shared internally with input 1, so that when enabling the PTT operation the use of the input 1 will be blocked. -
Page 18: System Expansion Output. Link-Out
In expanded systems, with several ONE units, this input will change its functionality in the device(s) that does not occupy the first position, becoming a connection between the different ONE devices. This mode of operation is discussed in detail in section 2.2.12. Figure 15: Example of ACSI devices connection 2.2.8 System expansion output. -
Page 19: Pre-Amplified Audio Outputs. Pre-Amp Outputs
2.2.9 Pre-amplified audio outputs. PRE-AMP OUTPUTS There are 4 line level outputs (1V RMS) for connection to external devices, such as backup amplifiers. These outputs can be configured to obtain the same audio as the zones or as a recording output of the messages from the evacuation microphones. -

Page 23: Configuration And Startup
3 CONFIGURATION AND STARTUP Once the needed connections are made, the elements and options used in the system should be configured. 3.1 Power supply Before activating the power, first check the service switches that disable the AC and battery source inputs, see figure 3 Connect the device to the mains, it must turn on correctly. -
Page 24: Evacuation Messages
3.2.2 Evacuation messages. When the insertion of a USB memory in the unit is detected, the user will be asked if he desires to import pre-recorded messages from the USB memory. In this case, the user will also be asked if he wants to delete the messages already stored in the unit. See section 3.3.5 for details about the messages import process and the requirements that these must meet in order to be copied to the unit. -
Page 25: Manual Configuration.
c) Battery Battery management depends on the installation of the charger accessory EN54-4. The system checks if the memory card is installed with the charger module. In this case, the system detects that a battery is installed, checking voltage and internal impedance. The minimum working voltage is 10.5V with a maximum impedance of 200 mOhms. - Page 26 • Eq. Enable, Eq Settings: These controls allow you to activate and configure the input parametric equalizer. • Compressor: It activates a compressor expander to improve input dynamic range. • Override 24V: When a priority input is activated, it turns on the override outputs of the zones where it is routed.
- Page 27 d) PTT Microphone input • Main Config: ◦ Enable on PA: enables the operation of the PTT Mic during the PA status ◦ Enable on VA: enables the operation of the PTT Mic during the VA status ◦ Supervision: this option activates the monitoring of the PTT microphone. If enabled the correct link to the PTT mic and its capsule will be checked.

Page 37: Expandable System Operation
After the Discover process, each unit will display an overview message indicating the number of units and zones that have been detected and that will constitute the new system. 3.5.4 Expandable system operation a) Zones The new system will group all the zones included in each unit. The zones will be ordered under a new nomenclature using common indexing. -
Page 38: Expandable Systems With Different Versions Of One
3.5.5 Expandable systems with different versions of ONE The ONE V3 system is compatible with ONE V2 expandable systems and can be mixed seamlessly. It is important that the ONE V3 system contains firmware v03.01.01.00 or lower, which maintains backwards compatibility with all ONE V2 systems. -
Page 39: Preconfigured Routing Memories
By default, the PTT microphone on the main unit will be set to global mode. This means that it will compete with all other global microphones (such as ACSI microphones) when making a call to the system zones. This will occur even when there is no conflict in zone selection between the two microphones, as the audio channel for sending microphones to the rest of the extended system is unique and can only be used by one global microphone at a time. -
Page 40: Example Of A Expandable System With Ptt Mics
Figure 23: View of the PTT status info on the LCD display Here the messages "PTT Talking" or "PTT Busy" will be displayed, depending on whether the PTT microphone is talking or has been blocked. It can also be seen the message "PTT Mic Busy Invalid Sel."... - Page 41 • In the event of a collision between two microphones having exactly the same priority, (e.g. PTT MIC 1 in global mode and PTT MIC 3), the first to make the talk request will be the one that can speak, and the second request to arrive will be blocked.

• EMG-EVAC: Zone in emergency, issuing the evacuation message; • EMG-EMIC: Zone in emergency, issuing a live voice message from an emergency microphone. NOTE: in the default configuration, it is usual for all zones to enter the IDLE-Muted status when the system faces an emergency. This is due to a block of the PA sources during this status. -
