Figure 1- SPA 1500
1.1 Entertainment control
Both sources are directed to the selected zone by means of the entertainment control
toggle switches on the SPA 1500 unit. When activated the green ENT led on the STATUS
panel will light up.
When duplicated system (A and B system), the same toggle switches must be operated on
both systems! Normally the entertainment source is mounted in A-system only. (An
entertainment audio cable is used between the A to B systems for entertainment audio
interconnection).
IMPORTANT:
If the two sources are both activated into the same zone they will be mixed together.
1.2 Entertainment source A
The integrated car radio/CD player (Option) in the SPA 1500 unit serves as entertainment
source A. Turn the car radio on, tune to a strong station or insert and play a CD and switch
the source/zone switches for the desired distribution.
1.3 Entertainment source B
The entertainment source B is an external audio line from e.g. a TV / video system.
Make sure the signal is present, and operate as in 1.1 and 1.2.
1.4 Paging from an SPA 1501, 1506, 0012 or external PA and PABX
General:
PA messages should always be as brief as possible.
PA messages should also be of "non-personal" kind, since this message is public.
PA messages should be repeated once to ensure the message is received.
Any Paging activity will lit the green PA led on the STATUS panel.
Normal operation:
The PA Control Units SPA 1501 and 1506 have three zone keys and one TALK/ALL key.
Paging may be performed in any combination of the three zones, including all.
