DAS-SIRIUS 

Satellite Radio Tuner Module

Overview

Add Sirius satellite radio functionality to your AMX Distributed Audio system with the 
DAS-SIRIUS Satellite Radio Tuner Module (

FG1110-02

). 

“SIRIUS”, the SIRIUS dog logo, and channel names and logos are trademarks of SIRIUS 
Satellite Radio Inc. All rights reserved.

The DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module can be used with both Mi-Series and Tango Audio 

Controllers.

All Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers come equipped with a DAS-AMFM AM/FM 

Tuner Module. Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support 2 Tuner Modules 
in any combination, the DAS-SIRIUS Module can either be installed in addition to the 
DAS-AMFM Module, or the DAS-AMFM Module can be removed to allow 2 
DAS-SIRIUS Modules.

Each Tuner Module uses 1 source input on the Audio Controller.

Installing/removing Tuner Modules requires removing the cover from the Audio Controller, 
removing the Tuner Option cover plate from the rear panel of the Controller, installing the 
Tuner Module, and setting Jumpers on both the Tuner Module (to specify each Tuner Module 
as either TUNER 1 or TUNER 2), and the rear board pin-bus of the Audio Controller (to 
enable/disable Tuner Module slots 1 and 2).

WARNING

: Disconnect all power sources before opening the chassis. Failure to disconnect 

power before performing this installation may cause injury or death.

FIG. 2 provides orientation for the various internal components that must be accessed to 
install the Tuner Module and set the Jumpers. 

CAUTION: Make sure to discharge all static electricity from your body before touching any 
components of the Tuner Modules or the Audio Controller. Failure to do so may lead to 
permanent damage to the Tuner or Controller. 

Setting the Jumpers

While Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support 2 Tuner Modules in any combination, 
this document primarily describes installing the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into Position 2 on 
the Audio Controller (as TUNER 2), leaving the DAS-AMFM Tuner Module in position 1 (as 
TUNER 1).

Note

: Because of the location of the Jumpers in the Controller and on the Tuner Module, it 

may be easier to make all jumper settings before installing the Tuner Module in the Controller.

Audio Controller Jumpers - Location

Examine the configuration of the jumpers on the left-side Rear-Board Pin Bus, as seen when 
viewing the rear board from the front of the Controller (FIG. 3). 

Audio Controller Jumpers - ON/OFF Settings

ON position = pins 3 and 2 jumpered (with pin 1 exposed). 

OFF position = pins 2 and 1 jumpered (with pin 3 exposed). 

Audio Controller Jumpers - Dual Tuner Setting

With the DAS-AMFM Tuner Module installed in position 1, and the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner 
Module installed in position 2, the Audio Controller jumpers should all be set to ON, as shown 
in FIG. 5: 

Move the TUNER 2 jumpers to the ON position by connecting the top 2 sets of pins (pins 3-2) 
and leaving the bottom pins (pin 1) exposed.

DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module Jumper Settings (Standard Installation)

There are 2 sets of Jumpers on the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module (FIG. 6). These must be set 
to differentiate Tuner 1from Tuner 2 in the Controller.
Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers are shipped with a DAS-AMFM Tuner Module 
pre-installed in position 1, as 

Tuner 1

, the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module, is typically installed in 

position #2 (labeled 

Tuner Option), as
