Typical connection of the A 4486 and A 4487 with a single amplifier

Connecting the A 4486 and A 4487

The Microphone and Line out box are connected by a CAT5e cable with a maximum run distance of 300 metres. This 

CAT5e cable can be connected to either of the two RJ45 ports provided on the rear of the microphone. A 24V DC power 

supply rated at a minimum of 500mA is required to power the system. Power connection can be made at the microphone 

itself via a 2.1mm DC Jack or by connecting power to the Line Out Box via a 2 way screw terminal. Power is then fed 

through the CAT5e cable to feed the system from either end.
If powering the system at the A 4486 end we recommend fitting the power supply with the Altronics P 0602 2.1mm DC 
Plug with collar which can be screwed onto the DC socket to prevent accidental disconnection of power.
The balanced audio output from the microphone is transmitted down the CAT5e cable to the Line Out Box which splits 
and converts the signal to microphone and line level outputs. These are provided as screw terminal connections.

Volume controls for the microphone volume and chime volume are located on the rear of the microphone.

RJ45 cabling configuration (586A ‘Straight through’)

 

System components are connected using “pin to pin” configuration RJ45 data cabling as shown in fig 4. When installing 

ensure all connections are verified with a LAN cable tester before switching any system component on. 

Failure to follow the correct wiring configuration may result in damage to system components.

and will Void the warranty.
