3 4 1 Access Panel Connection
If hardware Access Panels need to be connected to the Remote Controller, use CAT5/6
cables connected to the eight (8) Access Panel ports to connect to the remote access
panels. If Access Panel CAT5/6 cables are not terminated to fit the RJ45 interface of the
Remote Controller ports, the termination can be done on a Passive Terminal Block I/O
(P-PTBC-G) card, and a CAT5/6 cable can be routed from the Passive Terminal Block I/O
card to one of the Access Panel ports on the rear of the Remote Controller.
3 4 1 1 Using the AP Connection for Audio Input
Any AP connection that does not have a connected access panel can be used as an
audio input by wiring the balanced external audio to pins 4 and 5. See “Table 8 RJ45
Connections” on page 17.
Nominal full-scale audio input is 0 dBu (0.775 V
RMS
). Some adjustment is possible in the
controller configuration by setting gain or attenuation on the input audio. Audio input
levels above twice the nominal input level will clip in hardware.
