Redback® A 6514
Two Input Serial Volume Controller
SERIAL CODES
The Redback
®
A 6514 Serial Volume Controller is controlled by sending serial codes sent in the following format.
The serial data sent has to transmitted at 9600 baud, with the stop bit set to 1, data bits to 8 , parity to none and the
format must be ASCII.
Note: If the Redback® A 6500 wallplate is being used to send the serial codes, set the delay to 100ms.
Function:
Setting Output Level
The output level can be set to a given level between 0 (Off) and 79 (maximum).
To set these levels simpy send the code VOLUME? where ? is the number betwen 0 and 79.
The output level can also be increased or decreased by sending the following codes.
Increase Level = VOLUMEUX (where U stands for UP).
The X is the value to increase the volume. e.g VOLUMEU5 would increase the volume 5 steps.
Decrease Level = VOLUMEDX (where D stands for DOWN).
The X is the value to decrease the volume. e.g VOLUMED10 would decrease the volume 10 steps.
Selecting Input
Either Input 1 or Input 2 can be selected by sending the following serial codes.
To select Input1, send the code VOLUME, capital i and the number 1, eg. VOLUMEI1.
To select Input2, send the code VOLUME, capital i and the number 2, eg. VOLUMEI2.
If power to the A6514 is removed, the unit will remember its last Level setting, and which input was selected when power
is restored.
