Speakers

The AS10 active speakers can be used where it is not desired to

have a keypad fitted in the wall. The AS10 active speakers feature

an IR receiver and amplifier in one of the speakers and like the

KP10 keypad do not require mains power.

1. Using a single Cat-5e cable, connect the AS10-A to the

AH10/VH10 via an RJ45 plug at the AH10, and the eight-way

colour-coded punch down connection at the AS10-A.

The RJ45 hub connection should be wired to EIA/TIA568A

standard as shown in the wiring guide on page 6.
The Cat-5 connection from AH10 to the AS10-A should not

exceed 30m / 100 ft.

2. The AS10-A is then connected to the AS10-P using either Cat-5e

cable terminated at eight-way colour-coded punch down connec-

tions (all eight cores must be connected) or using a run of

standard speaker cable. 
Only one method of connection between the active and passive

speaker is necessary.

Full details of installation, connection, operation and special features

can be found in the guide that accompanies the AS10 speakers.
