Chapter 2: AH66T System Design Overview

Introduction

The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, touchpad, volume control, and equipment locations etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring commences so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place. This unit will be interfacing with other components such as amplifiers, source components, communications controllers, serial controllers, and user interfaces, so it is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage.

Secondly, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment, touchpads, volume controls, amplifiers, communications gear and the AH66T itself. Be sure to include necessary electrical boxes, structured wiring enclosures, telephone lines, rough-in brackets, patch cords, power supplies, etc.

Rack Mounting

Use the ELAN RMK3 Rack-Mount Kit when installing the AH66T in an equipment rack. The RMK3 is designed to facilitate mounting ATON dual rack-space integrated Multi-Room Controllers into standard 19” equipment racks in order to provide optimum air flow and heat dispersion for these units. The RMK3 will take up three rack spaces when installed.

Pre-Wire

This section explains the specifics of pre-wiring for an AH66T system. Care should be taken at this stage to ensure a properly operational system.

Most system wiring is “home-run” from the device being installed (a touchpad, for example) back to the equipment location.
