The  SIA2-150  can  be  used  with  mains  voltages 
from  100V  to  240V, 50/60Hz

, when set accordingly.

The P1 and P2 can be used with mains voltages from 
115V to 240V, 50/60Hz

, when set accordingly

Mains  voltage  is  factory  set  and  should  only  be 

adjusted by ATC or your local dealer or distributor. 
Please  ensure  that  the  local  mains  voltage  matches 
that  specified  on  the  rear  panel  before  applying 
power  to  the  SIA2-150,  P1 or P2.

The  mains  cable  has  been  specifically  supplied  to 
comply  with  local  statutory  safety  approvals  and 
alternatives should not be substituted. If you 

i

ntend 

to  use  your  unit  in  an  alternative  territory, 
please contact ATC 

for advise.

ATC equipment MUST be earthed. Do not remove 
the earth wire in the mains plug.

Mains power supply fuses are fitted within the CA2 
and  SCA2,  but  they  are  not  intended  to  be 
user replaceable. 

The  mains  power  supply  fuse  for  the  SIA2

P1  and  P2  Amplifiers  is  located  on  the  rear  panel. 
Should  the  Amplifier  fail  to  switch  on  when  the 
power  switch

  is  operated,  the  fuse  should 

be inspected. PLEASE  ENSURE  THAT  THE  UNIT 
IS  DISCONNECTED 

FROM 

THE 

MAINS 

SUPPLY  BEFORE  INSPECTING  OR  REPLACING 
A  FUSE. Lift out  the  fuse  holder  cover  using 
a  small  screwdriver,  remove  the  fuse  and 
inspect  it  for  damage.  Fuses  most  often  fail 
due  to  a  serious  electrical  fault.  Only  replace 
fuses  with  the  same  type  as  that  suspected  to 
be  blown.  All  fuses  are 20mm “Type T anti surge”. 
The  fuse  rating  is  printed  on  the  rear  panel 
adjacent  to  the  fuse.  If  a  replacement  fuse 
also  fails  then  the  Amplifier should be returned 
to ATC for service.

The  SCA2  is  supplied  with  an  SCA  R  remote 
handset.  Provided  that  the  SCA2  is  connected 
to the mains power and its rear panel power switch 
is on, the SCA R provides for remote operation of 
all the  SCA2  functions. The  SCA  R  also  includes

a standard set of CD Player commands, which may be used to control any CD or 
DVD/S

ACD Player that supports the standard RC5 control code set.

Use  the  handset  On/Reset  button  to  switch the  SCA2 into  active mode  and the 
Standby button to return the SCA2 to Standby mode. Monitor and Record selection 
can  be  made  by  pressing  the  desired  monitor  or  record  button. The  SCA2  front 
panel source indicators will illuminate but the rotary controls will not rotate.

Volume is controlled through the handset Level + and – buttons. The SCA2 front 
panel Level control will rotate in response to handset level commands. The handset 
Attn button is equivalent to the front panel Gain function. The handset Mute function 
operates in exactly the same way as the front panel control.

The red indicator on the handset will flash as functions are operated. Failure of this 
indicator  points  to  exhaustion  of  the  handset  battery. The  battery  should  be 
replaced, an

d the old battery disposed of, by your local dealer or distributor.

The  CA2,  SIA2-150,  P1  and  P2  are  supplied  with  the 

ATC

  remote  handset. 

This  provides  for  remote  operation  of  all  functions  of  the  units,  and  includes  a 
standard set  of  CD  Player  commands  that  may  be  used  to  control  any  CD  or 
DVD/SACD  player  that  supports  the  RC5  control  set.  Power  is  supplied  by 

2

 

X AAA batteries (included).

Reliable operation of the remote handsets require direct line of sight between the 
handset and the unit front panel. Correct operation of the handset on the SCA2 is 
indicated by illumination of a red indicator on the left hand side of the front panel as 
handset commands are received.
