Cabling Instructions
CAUTION: Be sure to check for any wiring restrictions required by the electrical code in your area.
This installation uses low voltage cabling similar to telephone and alarm wiring, and as such does not commonly have very many restrictions on their installation. However rules may vary in different regions.
Cable Type
The Tango Controller is cabled using standard
Connecting Sources (Audio Inputs/Outputs)
Up to 8 audio devices can be connected to the Tango Controllers via the Sources INPUT and OUTPUT RCA connectors on the rear panel (see FIG. 1 on page 1). Industry standard RCA connectors provide
Each audio input has a corresponding buffered output used to connect the audio sources to additional Tango Controllers or to other devices that share the audio sources (FIG. 2).

Note: Tango controllers support RC5 IR codes. Codes that fall outside of this range may not function with the Controller.
Connecting Zone Outputs
Tango Controllers can be accessed by SWT Metreau keypads
Note: The Matrix Pushbutton
SWT Connectors
SWT cabling follows a specific pinout configuration that is labelled on the Tango Controller, Metreau keypads, and other Matrix devices, as shown in FIG. 4.
L D | G R | L = Left audio channel (+) |
|
| D = Data / Power (+) |
|
| G = Ground |
|
| R = Right audio channel (+) |
FIG. 4 | SWT pinout configuration |
Paging Inputs are for Phone Systems or Communications Boxes. If the paging override is used, connect the output of the phone system or communication box to the Paging Input connector on the Tango controller. (FIG. 7):
