Before the RL-1 will operate, the zone’s 

REMOTE

 port must 

be enabled by setting the adjacent 

FR/REM

 push-button 

switch ([9] on “Description of rear panel” on page 8

to  REM  (i.e.,  pressing  it  in).  In  this  setting,  the  zone’s  front 

panel 

MUSIC LEVEL

 and 

SOURCE

 controls become 

inoperative. As music source selection will still be required 
from the mixer’s front panel when an RL-1 is in use, the REM 

setting may be overridden 

for the source selection control only

 

by  moving  internal  jumper  J20  (Zone  1),  J22  (Zone  2)  or 

 

J24 (Zone 3) on the internal rear sub-board. See 

“PCB jumper 

location and settings” on page 19 for location of internal 
jumpers.

Connecting an RSL-6 Series remote control plate

Wire the remote control plate as shown below. Twin-and-
screen cable should be used. Maximum reliable cable run is 
100 m.

Before the RSL-6 will operate, the zone’s

port must be enabled by setting the adjacent

push-button switch ([9] on “Description of rear panel” on

)  to  REM  (i.e.,  pressing  it  in).  In  this  setting,  the

become inoperative.

Music Mute

External muting of music is available at the 

MUSIC MUTE

 

connector. National or Local Authority regulations governing 

such systems may require that normal programme material 

(i.e., music) should be muted in an emergency, to ensure that 

any emergency messages are clearly audible.
The Music Mute input is on a 2-pin 5 mm-pitch screw-terminal 

connector. It should be connected to the appropriate alarm 

output on whichever building management system registers 

the alarm (typically the Fire System). The alarm output must 

be volt-free; if no such output is available, an intermediate 
relay or other isolation device must be installed between the 

alarm output and the Music Mute input.

The Mute input can be set to operate on either normally 

open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C) contacts via an internal 

jumper (see “PCB jumper location and settings” on page 
19

).  The  factory  default  setting  is  N/O,  thus  requiring  a 

 

short-circuit to be applied across the two pins of the 

connector for muting to occur.
Visual indication of muting being activated is given by the 

MUSIC MUTE

 LED on the front panel.
