2.8  Rear Panel Connections

1. 

Mains Power

 – ON\OFF switch.

2. 

IEC Mains Inlet

3. 

Direct/Remote Switch

 – when set to 

‘Direct’, the source available to the system is 
that connected to the Phonos.

When set to ‘Remote’, the source located in 

the zone (via CAT5 cable) is available.

Note:

 

IR is unaffected by this switch.

4. 

Analog audio outputs

 – phono 

connectors from the 8 Zones to Power 

Amplifiers. 

5. 

Keypad

 – RJ45 for connection to the 

keypad in the Zone.

6. 

IR Window Emitter

 – 3.5mm jacks for 

connecting window emmitters to the 6 

sources. An emitter may not be necessary if 

a source is to be controlled via RS232. 

7. 

RS232 ports

 – can be used to control 

audio sources or can be used to control 
other devices such as lighting controllers.

8. 

Analog audio inputs

 – phono connectors 

from the 6 Sources.

9. 

Loop analogue audio output

 – The audio 

loop out allows audio inputs to be connected 
to a second S6.2 controller using a jack 
to phone cable. Only available if using the 
phono audio input sockets.

10. 

IR Output 

– 3.5mm jacks for driving 

Window Emitters. Signal is ‘Global’ IR – all 
zones added together.

11. 

Video Matrix RS232 port 

– for control 

of an Armour 4X8 HDMI matrix or Kramer 

matrix.

12. 

Control RS232 port

 – external control 

systems such as KNX and Lutron can 

control each of the 8 zones using the S6.2 
RS232 control protocol available from www.
systemline.co.uk.

Note:

 Only control of the audio zone is 

possible through this port, no external RS232 
device control such as iPort or Music server 
can be accessed

13. 

Ethernet RJ45 socket

 – This must 

be plugged into a suitable network switch 
or router in order to configure and upload 
software into the S6.2 Controller.

14. 

Link RJ45 socket

 – This is used if two 

S6.2 Controllers are used in one system, a 
standard patch cable is needed for this link.

2.9  Switching on the S6.2 

Controller

Note:

 All wiring should be completed before 

switching on the S6.2 Controller.

When ready, switch on the S6.2 Controller at 
the rear panel.

After a short power-up delay, the S6.2 

Controller will show all zones on standby and 
the standby LED showing red.

2.10 Installation of Sources, 

Lighting Controls and 

Other Units

Refer to the installation and operating 
instructions of the respective equipment for 
other parts of the system.
