CALCULATE HUB LOAD
Devices can be located further from the Control 2 by connecting the devices to hubs installed
within the recommended wire length of the device. Each Network Hub has adequate supply to
power eight Audio Keypads. If MagicPads or Relay Controllers are used in the system, the hub
load must be adjusted to account for their higher power draw. To accomplish this, each device
has been given a “hub load.” Each Network Hub can power 15 power points. If you have
more than 15 points when all devices are added up, you need an additional hub.
Device Points:
Sample System:
Audio Keypads =1 point
Audio Keypads x 6 = 6 points
Audio Matrix = 1 point
Audio Matrix x 1 = 1 points
MagicPad= 5 points
MagicPad x 1 = 5 points
Relay Controller = 3 points
System Total = 12 points
When connecting devices to the hubs, pay close attention to the status LEDs. These LEDs indi-
cate the condition of the network’s power. If one or more of these LEDs dim or extinguish,
then a network device or wire may be damaged or shorted.
The system is limited to 10,000' of total network wire length. Please consult with dealer sup-
port for solutions designed for longer wire length requirements.
MAGICPAD
MagicPads are optional components for the system, though they may be added to upgrade a
system at any time. MagicPads can be used along with the Audio Keypad for control of the
music system. The MagicPad’s six LCD backlit buttons allow easy access to advanced features
like music schedules and advanced transport control of audio components. In the future, fea-
tures, such as HVAC control, lighting control, and advanced home theater control, will be
added.
MagicPads should be mounted within a standard three-gang plastic electrical box.
Description
The MagicPad is used to provide status
and control of the Facility Manager System.
Up to eight MagicPads may be used to pro-
vide localized controls. Only the primary
MagicPad may be used to configure the
system.
