3. Wiring and Connections
The Savant IP Audio Soundbar control connections send data to control a device and receive data to display current status on the user interfaces or trigger
a system action. Each port type may support multiple protocols that are determined by the logical connection within Blueprint.
3.1. IR Wiring
IR connections are made using a 6-pin screw down plug-in
connector supplied with the controller. The stripped wire slips into
the rear of the connector and the screws are used to lock the wire in
hole.
IMPORTANT!
Read precautions below before proceeding!
–
All IR emitters must be installed 15 feet (4.6 meters) or less from
the chassis or receiver being controlled.
–
Use of 3rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away
from the IR signal which degrades the IR performance.

NOTE
:
The Control Connector installs with the screws facing down. On the device
the pins are in the reverse order.
To connect wires into terminal block connector:
1. Remove power if power is applied.
2. Pull to remove the connector from the rear of the controller.
3. With a small flat bladed screwdriver, turn the screws on the top
of connector counterclockwise until the silver crimps in the front
open enough to slide the wire into the square slot.
4. Strip the ends of each wire to ¼ inch. Using the diagram to the
left, insert the stripped wires into the proper slots.
5. Turn the screws clockwise until the screw tightens around each
wire. Tug on the wire a bit to verify it is installed securely. There
should no bare wires protruding from the rear of the connector.
6. Plug terminal block back into the rear of the controller.
3.2. RS-232 Wiring
RS-232 connections are made using a 6-pin screw down plug-in
connector supplied with the controller. The stripped wire slips into the
rear of the connector and the screws are used to lock the wire in hole.

- The Control Connector installs with the screws facing down. On the device
the pins are in the reverse order.
To connect wires into the terminal block connector:
1. Remove power if power is applied
2. Pull to remove the terminal block from rear of the controller.
3. With a small flat bladed screwdriver, turn the screws on the top of
the terminal block counterclockwise until the silver crimps in the
front open enough to slide the stripped wires into the square slots.
4. Insert one of the stripped wires from the devices being controlled
into its respective slot on the terminal block. Refer to the diagram.
5. Turn the screw clockwise until the silver crimp tightens around the
wire. Tug on the wire a bit to verify the wires are installed securely.
Make sure a minimal amount of bare wire is exposed to prevent
contact between adjacent wires.
6. Repeat for each wire till all wires are installed and plug terminal
block back into the rear of the controller.
7. Reapply power.
