The two low voltage triggers can also be used to en-
gage an “On” and an “Off” IR command when using
ADA’s IRL-5000 to control source components.
The IRL-5000 is an advanced version of ADA’s IRL-
3000 Infrared Learner and uses the same PC soft-
ware program to capture, test, layout, and label IR
commands from standard source components. While
the IRL-5000 is used on Suite 16 Systems when em-
ploying ADA keypads (so that the keypads transport
function buttons can control the source components),
the IRL-5000 can also be controlled serially making it
an ideal component to add to a Suite 16 even if no
ADA keypads are being used. A single IRL-5000 can
operate as many as eight source components. Two
IRL-5000’s can be used to control sixteen components
when set to different addresses. The IRL-5000 has
nine address settings.
The IRL-5000 features two 9-pin “D” connectors. The connector on the upper left side is used
for programming and is connected to a PC. The connector at the bottom of the IRL-5000 is
wired in parallel with the ACC-48(s). By using this feature of the IRL-5000, one can initiate an
IR signal or sequence (macro) when a source is first selected and also initiate an IR signal or
sequence when that source is no longer being used. Since the IRL-5000 permits the use of
delays, you can use both the ACC-48 and IRL-5000 together such that as a source is se-
lected, it gets AC from the ACC-48 and then is issued a command (i.e. play). Another option
for DSS receivers would involve programming the OFF function with a macro to reset the
DSS receiver to the favorite music channel. Thus, every time the DSS is no longer being
used on the system, the IRL-5000 resets it to this station. When it is again selected, the
favorite channel is already tuned in. This permits one button operation while completely
removing AC from the component when it is no longer being used.
Naturally, one can simply use the IRL-5000 without employing ACC-48s. When using an ADA
Trinity Tuner, ADA recommends using at least one IRL-5000.
The diagrams on the next two pages show an IRL-5000 employed with two ACC-48s. The
diagram on page 6 details the complete sixteen source system with two IRL-5000s and four
ACC-48’s.
LVI-3800 Low Voltage Relay
The LVI-3800 is used when controlling source components that
are not capable of control via either serial or IR control interfaces.
Older sources or for example, slide projectors fall into this cat-
egory. The LVI-3800 features eight relays which close momen-
tarily when transport buttons are pressed on the MC-5000, MC-
3000, and MC-3800 keypads. The LVI-3800 is an ADA Bus de-
vice and connects to an open ADA Bus jack on any wire harness.
