Observe proper channel and polarity of the connections (+ from the ampli- fier to + input on the control, left channel out to the "L" side of the connector marked "ampli- fier" on the selector).

Mounting the AB-S

(See Figure #4)

Once the selector has been wired it is ready to be mount- ed into the wall. Referring to diagram #4, place the com- ponents of the selector into the wall using the enclosed screws. The AB-S is configured to accept a variety of differ- ent colored buttons and plates.

Operating the AB-S

Once installed the AB-S provides the ability to select between two pairs of speakers that are connected to the same amplifier or between two amplifiers that are con- nected to the same speaker pair.

Before operating the switch for the first time, turn your amplifier(s) on (you should have had it off for installation of the selector). Next, slowly turn up the volume to the listening level you desire. To make a choice between the two amplifiers or two speakers, simply depress the button.
