Overview
The Unison Heritage AV/Serial Interface station (model# UH1AV) provides a
method for any RS232 capable device to control and interact with the Unison
Paradigm LinkConnect control network. The AV/Serial Interface Station acts
as a virtual station with similar functionality to existing Heritage station types
allowing for virtual buttons, faders and rates to be manipulated with serial
commands.
Installation
The AV/Serial Interface Station may be installed into an industry standard
single gang backbox (provided by others) or a single gang surface mounted
backbox (sold separately and available from ETC).
Installation should follow local codes and standard practices. All control wiring should be installed and
terminated by a qualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices. Leave
approximately 10 inches (254mm) of wiring in the backbox for connection and future service needs.
AV/Serial Interface wiring requirements include:
•
Connection to the Echelon
