Connection Instructions
Read all instructions before starting the installation.
Determine the ideal location for the BTC-1X Remote
Transceiver based on whether it will be a global or local
source, keeping in mind that structural elements, concrete,
and other 2.4 gHz transmitters may interfere with the
signal. The BTC-1X Remote Transceiver may be located in a
freestanding position or in a standard 18 ci electrical box.
The BTC-1X Remote Transceiver must be accessible for
programming a custom name later.
Route a single CAT-5 cable from the BTC-1 Termination
Box to the BTC-1X Remote Transceiver location. The
recommended maximum CAT-5 cable length is 300
feet (91.44 meters) between the BTC-1X and the BTC-1
Termination Box. If the BTC-1X location is freestanding,
the CAT-5 cable can be terminated to a RJ-45 wall plate
using the T568A standard wiring configuration. A CAT-5
jumper cable would then be connected from the wall plate
to the BTC-1X. If the location is in-wall, the CAT-5 cable is
routed into an 18 ci or larger US standard electrical work
box where it is terminated with a RJ-45 plug which is then
connected to the BTC-1X.
The BTC-1 Termination Box should be placed close to the
amplifier or receiver (distance not to exceed 25 ft). Install
the BTC-1 by either mounting it to a flat surface or to the
back of an A/V equipment rack using screws through the
holes in the mounting flanges. Terminate the end of the
CAT-5 cable connected to the BTC-1X Remote Transceiver
with an RJ-45 plug using the T568A standard wiring
configuration. Connect the cable to the BTC-1 Termination
Box.
Connect RCA audio patch cables from the termination
box’s audio outputs to the designated source input on the
amplifier/receiver.
The provided two conductor 12VDC trigger cable
terminated with a 1/8” male plug at each end is connected
from the termination box’s 12VDC trigger output to the
trigger input on the amplifier/receiver. This will wake the
device from standby once the BSK-1 is actively paired with
a
Bluetooth®
enabled source.
If this is to be used as a local source for a Russound
MCA-Series controller zone, use WebConfig configuration
software to assign it to a Primary Zone and set the Local
Source turn on volume level which is unique from the
zone turn on volume level.
Connect the included 12VDC power supply to the
BTC-1 Termination Box but do not plug into the wall until
installation has been completed.
