Standard Features (cont.)
7
Room DC Trigger - The Genesis provides a low voltage DC
output per room that is on whenever that particular room is on.
This low voltage signal can be used to trigger an ACC-3 or CCS-
4 which in turn is used to automatically engage an external room
amplifier or home theater system. The DC trigger for each room
is drawn from the room's 8 pin control connector where pin 1 is
ground (-) and pin 4 is voltage (+).
8
Removable Screw Terminal Connectors - The Genesis rear
panel has six removable 8 pin screw terminal connectors
(control input/keypad feedback) and six removable 4 pin screw
terminal connectors (speaker out), one set for each room.
9
Room Grouping - While the Genesis has a total of six independently switched rooms,
more than one room can be connected to any one of the Genesis's room outputs. This
permits you to create "room groupings", where each room will have its own keypad (with
volume control). While the rooms that are grouped together will all turn on at once when
any of the room's keypads select a source, each room will still have its own local volume
control. This design aspect is ideal for rooms that are open to each other. As an
example, you can group together the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Rooms that
you would want to maintain as independent Genesis rooms would be, for example, the
master bedroom and master bath, as one might want to turn on music in the bathroom
without disturbing someone who might be sleeping in the bedroom.
10
6 Rooms to 36 Rooms- Each Genesis can provide independent audio to six rooms and
as many as six Genesis units can be combined to provide audio to up to 36 rooms. When
using multiple Genesis units in one system, you will want to specifically order all of the
Genesis with the "Slave" modification. This modification will provide a clean interface
for all the Genesis components.
11
Main Power Switch - The Genesis has a single "Main Power" switch
which is typically left in the on position. When servicing the system or
when the system will not be in use for prolonged periods of time
(vacation), this switch can be turned off, thereby shutting down the
entire system. This will also disable all function control from the
Genesis's front panel or keypads.
12
Master Volume Control - The front panel of the Genesis includes the
"Master Volume" control which sets the maximum volume level for the
entire home. Rooms can reach this volume or tap down from it, using
the local room volume controls. Please note, this volume control
should be set once and then left alone.
