5. PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Pre-Wiring: All cabling between the ready amplifier/
interface module and the distribution hub should be
Cat 5 cable or better (eg. Cat 5e cable). The maximum
cable run should be 30 m [150 feet]. Speaker wire
should be run from the power module to the in-wall or
in-ceiling speakers. The power modules will accept up
to 14 AWG cable. It is also recommended to run Cat 5
cable from the power modules to the speaker points
for future requirements. It is recommended that the
Cat 5 cable run to the main sound system be
terminated to a Cat 5 outlet jack and a standard 568A
patch lead be installed between the outlet jack and the
ready/interface module output.
Recommend the Cat 5 cable from the MCC to the
Power Module be looped past the LIM mounting
location. This will allow a LIM to be easily added at
a later time.
During installation, do not connect power to the
hub(s). Before powering up the system, make sure
all volume levels are on minimum level. Power
modules should be connected and left out of the
wall for adjustment. Do not install the power
modules into the walls before starting up the
system.
6. SETUP
Follow these steps to give the volume control
maximum flexibility. On the back of the power modules
are trim pots (L and R), that fine-tune the output level
in each room to compensate for the length of the cable
run, the efficiency of the speaker, or the size of the
room.
There are also situations where the output level
should be limited. The main volume control of the
system should be set to about 2 o'clock. The trim pots
should then be adjusted to a point, just below the
amplifiers clipping point, using a popular music
source. (Clipping is the point where the sound starts to
distort).
Using the included hardware, install the power module
into a standard UL/CSA approved electrical J-box.
7. FAULT FINDING
•
Check all connections carefully.
•
Make sure all speakers are wired in phase.
•
Check for status (red LED indicator on power
module).
•
Disconnect power modules from hub and check
operation - one by one.
•
A short in the speaker line will cause the output to
shutdown until fixed.
•
Some second zone outputs have their own power
command.
