AMX DAS-T0804X/8X-SIG Connecting Zone Outputs, Connecting Paging Inputs/Outputs, SWT Connectors

Connecting Zone Outputs

Tango Controllers can be accessed by SWT Metreau keypads (DAS- MET6SRC and DAS-MET-NUM) to provide basic transport control, source selection and volume up and down, as well as enhanced controls including direct access capability, favorite’s source selection, zone grouping, alarm clock setting, and Keypad lockout.

Note: The Matrix Pushbutton (DAS-KP series) and LCD Keypads (DAS-KP-LCD series) are also supported by Tango Controllers.

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. 3.

L	D	G	R	L = Left audio channel (+)
				D = Data / Power (+)
				G = Ground (-) - also provides return for L/R Audio
				R = Right audio channel (+)

FIG. 3 SWT pinout configuration

Connecting Paging Inputs/Outputs

Paging Inputs are for Phone Systems or Communications Boxes. If the paging override is used, connect the paging Output connector on the Tango Controller to the Tango Zone Expander (FIG. 4):

Tango Audio Controller	Paging
	Out
From phone system or
communication box	Paging In
Tango Zone Expander (#1)	Paging
	Out

Paging In	To "Paging In" connector on
	Tango Zone Expander #2

Connecting To Tango Audio Controllers

FIG. 5 provides a wiring diagram illustrating the connections between the Tango Audio Controller and multiple Tango Zone Expanders:

Audio Device (L/R)

3.Connect the source inputs. Patch each source from the source output on the Tango controller to the source inputs on the Zone Expander.

Note: Ensure the left and right source connections are properly matched and seated to the left and right terminals of the both the Tango Controller and the Zone Expander.

For example, Source 1 Output, on the Tango Controller to Source 1 Input on the Zone Expander).

Continue this procedure until each source is connected.

4.Paging Inputs are for Phone Systems or Communications Boxes. If the paging override is used, connect the paging output loop from the Tango Controller to the Zone Expander (see FIG. 5).

5.Connect the keypads to the Tango Controller and Zone Expander(s). Fol- lowing the same wiring code you used at each of the keypad locations, plug each SWT connector into the desired Zone Output connectors on the Tango Controller and Zone Expanders (see FIG. 5).

6.SWT Speakers connect to the Tango Controller via the SPEAKERS con- nector on the SWT keypads.

•Alternatively, you can terminate the speakers directly to the back of the Controller. Speakers connected directly to the zone output must be com- mon grounded.

•The minimum impedance for each zone should never be less than 4 ohms.

Note: Installing more than 2 pairs of speakers on any Zone output is not recommended without installing an external amplifier.

7.On the Main Controller, make the necessary NIC Port connections for the (optional) Network Interface Card and AM/FM Antennas.

8.Connect the power supply and power up the units.

Zone Expander Addressing

Use the Address switch on the rear panel of the Tango Zone Expanders (FIG. 6) to set the Address for each Expander, according to the values in the following table:

Address 1

FIG. 5 Connecting the Tango Controller to Zone Expanders

1.Connect the RJ-11 jack labelled "Expansion Out" on the Tango Controller to the RJ-11 jack labelled "Expansion Port In" on the rear panel of the Zone Expander. This connection provides the Tango Controller with the ability to control the Zone Expander (see FIG. 5).

2.Set the Address switch on the rear panel of the Zone Expander to "1" if the Zone Expander services zones 9 – 16, set to "2" for zones 17 – 24 and so on until all seven Zone Expanders are utilized (see FIG. 5). Refer to the Zone Expander Addressing section on page 2 for further details.
