CHAPTER 3
Operation
General Instructions
1.
Attach the power pack to the SSA-424A and apply power 
to all components. Confirm the power indicator is lit on 
the SSA-424A front panel.
NOTE: The power indicator flashes when a call signal is 
received from a 2-wire line, if the call signal option board is 
attached. The SSA-424A level displays should help to 
confirm which line is calling.
2.
Use the level adjust trimmers (Figure 8) to fine tune the 
listen levels.
NOTE: For 4-wire systems other than ADAM, ADAM CS, 
and Zeus, you may have to change the setting of the 4W 
LEVEL REF SEL control to establish the correct level. For 
2-wire system other than Audiocom, TW, and Clear-Com, 
you may have to adjust the level at the 2-wire system if you 
cannot establish the correct level with the 2-wire listen level 
trimmers. 
Operating Notes for ADAM, ADAM CS 
and Zeus Intercom Systems
1.
In AZedit use port alpha setup to name each 4-wire 
intercom port that is connected to the SSA-424A. Choose 
names which help indicate which 2-wire line is being 
interfaced.
2.
Key assignment, party line assignment, etc. is the same 
as for any other intercom port.
3.
Optional call signal output using the GPI: you can assign 
the GPI output to a talk or listen key, then activate that 
key to generate a call signal.
Another way to generate a call signal is by assigning the 
GPI output as a level 2 talk key assignment for any key 
that is assigned to talk to the SSA-424A. However, this 
will cause the call lights to flash on the 2-wire line during 
the entire conversation.
Another solution is to assign a dedicated key as a UPL 
resource key (which you could name CALL). Then for 
each key that talks to an SSA-424A hybrid, create a UPL 
statement that will activate the appropriate GPI whenever 
the call key and the talk key are pressed. This lets you use 
the same call key with more than one GPI. To use, simply 
activate the call key and the appropriate talk key. Then, 
when a verbal response is received, release the call key.
