Information fed into the MSU from the whole-house repeater system will only be output
through flashers 1 through 8 on the IntelliControl MSU. IR fed in via the MSU’s “Second
Zone IR” input will not be passed to the flasher outputs dedicated to the “Preamp”, the
“TV”, or through flasher outputs “9“ or “10”.
Figure 11
The ”IR Data” output of the IR Main System Unit (IRP/IRZ) is routed to the
“Second Zone IR” input of the IntelliControl MSU. IR commands received at this terminal
will be output through the MSU’s flasher ports 1 through 8 only, and will flash those source
components shared by both systems.
An IRC-2 Flasher is connected directly to the IR Main System Unit’s flasher output and
attached to the second zone receiver.
Turning On Common Sources in Multi-Zone Systems
It is possible to share sources between a whole-house music system and the IntelliControl
Home Theater System. Those sources with latching power may be left “On” all the time, or
plugged into a Niles AC-6+ (or any other Niles iPower product). The AC-6+ features two
diode-isolated 12V trigger inputs, can be fed by the IntelliControl’s “Audio 12V” control
voltage output, and a 12V control voltage created by the whole-house music system.
Typically, the control voltage for the second zone is created by plugging a 100mA (or
larger) 12V DC wall adapter into the switched outlet of the second zone preamp/receiver.
Note: The IntelliControl’s Control Output is diode-isolated internally.
