c) Up to eight QED speaker cable pairs (two
for each zone) terminated with quick-fit
plugs.
d) Four six-conductor (+shield and drain)
CAT-5 data cables, each terminated with
the proper IDC connector.
NOTE: CAT-5 cables normally have eight
conductors, six of which can be used for
Systemline.
e) One shielded PHONO to PHONO
interconnect for RC-5 remote control code
connection (if required).
f)
Up to four pairs of PHONO to PHONO
interconnects to power amplifiers from
the corresponding zone’s “Pre-out”
terminals (if required).
g) Up to four IR window emitters for
connection to the S4.3 Controller's TX
Infra-red outputs (if required).
h) Additional PHONO to PHONO shielded
cables and loudspeaker connections as
required for systems using more than one
S4.3 Controller amplifier.
i)
Up to six “TX-FORMAT” terminal block
jumper wires when cascading multiple
S4.3 Controllers.
j)
3.5 mm to 3.5 mm stereo jack lead. Only
the top and middle ring of each jack
should be connected. This lead is used
when a.c. mains outlet control is required
from multiple controllers. Connection of
this link also enables all zones to be
turned off from any zone on any
controller.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you
attach a tag or strip to each cable and
wire that permanently and positively
identifies it. This will help in any required
troubleshooting immediately after the
installation as well as make future service
calls or system add-ons much less
frustrating.
Avoid vague identifiers (“Tape Deck,” for
example) in favour of carefully defined
lines such as “To Input 3 from tape deck.”
However well you remember each
installation just after completing it, you
WILL FORGET by the next time you see it.
3.23 IR “Flood” Emitter
The S4.3 Controller has a high intensity
front panel IR “flood” emitter designed to
transmit commands from the remote
zones to the appropriate source
component. Although exact performance
will vary, this high power transmitter has
an effective operating range of
approximately 6m under normal
conditions.
If the S4.3 Controller is on an open shelf,
the emitter’s signal must first travel to an
IR-reflective surface (an opposing wall, for
example) and then to the source
component.
WARNING:
It is very important that the Flood
Infra Red output does not reach any
DMS modules. If this happens the
system will not perform correctly. Do
not forget that Infra red can be
reflected by walls and doors into
other rooms. If you suspect that this
may be happening disconnect the
wire link between terminals 2 & 3 of
the TX format connector and
connect stick-on IR emitters as
described in section 3.24.

Keep total IR signal travel to 12m or less. Remember that it
must travel to a hard reflective surface and then back again.
3.24 IR Emitter Jacks & Cabling
Remember that the S4.3 Controller also has
four rear panel IR output jacks for use with
IR window emitters. Use these where
output from the front panel “flood” IR
emitter is blocked from the source
components by a door, full depth shelf, etc.
3.25 N/C Jack
This PHONO connector, located just to the
left of the RC-5 output, is unused at present.
