The VSI45 is designed to run multiple pairs of speakers without dam-
aging your amplifier or receiver. The adjustment is
made by using bridge clips that can be easily changed.
NOTE: Both
bridge clips must have the same setting - i.e. 1x,
2x or 4x.
Failure to properly set the bridge clips may result in
damage to your amplifier or receiver.
Please follow the recommendations in this section carefully.
Failure to properly set the bridge clips may result in damage
to your amplifier or receiver.
Use the chart in
Figure #4
to determine a) the maximum number of
speaker pairs that can be connected to your amplifier or receiver and
b) the appropriate bridge clip setting (1x, 2x or 4x) to use on the
volume control.
1. In the first column, determine the minimum impedance capability
of your amplifier or receiver.
2. Move across the row to the number of 8ohm speaker pairs you
wish to use.
3. The resulting number (1x, 2x or 4x) is the bridge clip setting
appropriate for your configuration.
NOTE: Both bridge clips must
have the same setting.
4. The gray area indicates a setting that is slightly below the amplifier
or receiver’s minimum impedance but will most likely work.
Mounting the VSI45
Once the control has been wired, it is ready to be
mounted into the wall. Referring to
Figure #5
, place
the components of the volume control into the wall in
the order illustrated. Use the enclosed screws to hold
the components in place.
NOTE:
The rotary switch is shipped with the control
turned as far counterclockwise as it will turn off. If you
changed this, return it to the full counterclockwise
position before starting installation.
