    VA-8600/VA-8600c FRONT PANEl Figure 1 . Front Panel System Indicators The LED indicators on the front panel provide information about the function and operational status of the VA-8600 and VA-8600c chassis and any installed AM-600 or AM-600c amplifier modules. Columns one through eight correspond to the eight amplifier module slots. The remaining LEDs correspond to the VA-8600 and VA-8600c chassis.

  • Page 6: Chassis Indicators

    VA-8600/VA-8600c FRONT PANEl Signal is a tri-color LED that indicates audio signal presence on the channel. Green indicates that the audio signal level is between -50 dBFS and -3 dBFS, yellow indicates a signal level between -3 dBFS and 0 dBFS, and red indicates clipping. Chassis Indicators Amp Fault is a yellow LED that illuminates when a chassis fault has occurred.

    VA-8600/VA-8600c REAR PANEl Figure 3 . Rear Panel Layout Device ID Switches The rotary ID switches are located on the back of the VA-8600 and VA-8600c and give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in hexadecimal format. All VA-8600 and VA-8600c units must have a unique Device ID to function properly within a Vocia Paging World (i.e., it is not possible to have two VA-8600 and VA-8600c units with the same Device ID of hex 07).

  • Page 8: Network Connection

    VA-8600/VA-8600c REAR PANEl Network Connection The VA8600 and VA-8600c are CobraNet devices. All CobraNet routing and bundle assignments are processed by the Vocia devices locally. Vocia makes dynamic use of available bundles in CobraNet. Vocia devices are currently not interoperable with non- Vocia devices.

  • Page 9: Amplifier-To-Amplifier Failover

    VA-8600/VA-8600c REAR PANEl Amplifier-to-Amplifier Failover Vocia supports one-to-one automatic amplifier failover in case of fault. Failover is triggered by one of the following conditions: • Chassis fault • Channel fault • Loss of power • Loss of CobraNet link • Loss of Logic I/O Only faults (e.g., heat sink fault and channel failure fault) trigger the failover mechanism.

  • Page 10: Channel-To-Channel Failover

    VA-8600/VA-8600c REAR PANEl Channel-to-Channel Failover In addition to entire amplifier failover, Vocia supports channel-to-channel failover, which is triggered by one of the following conditions: • Heat Sink fault • Short Circuit fault • Channel Failure fault The wire failover link cable is not required when wiring channel-to-channel failover.

Then refer to the column that describes the type of audio levels the amplifier will be producing. If your configuration uses more amplifier modules than the number shown, add 0.1 amps and 37 BTU for each additional module in the chassis.
