Channel Vision AB-114 dimensions Remote BUS-Aand ABT2454, 404-AB 301,-AB 202,-AB 114,-AB, Status

Pre-Installation:

Before connecting the AB-114, confirm the following:

•The power supply is not connected to the AB-114.

•The status power supply is not connected.

•The lengths of the CAT-5 wires connecting the AB- 114 and AB-404 modules do not exceed 1000 ft. (For longer runs over 1000 ft., use multiple AB-404 modules in a cascaded system.

Once all connections have been checked, the power supplies may now be connected to the modules.

CAT-5 Connectivity:

Use a CAT-5 minimum to connect the AB-202 Single Source Distribution Module’s RJ-45 outputs to the RJ-45 wallplate (optional). You may also connect the AB-202 directly to the AB-404 Distribution Module. The AB-404 then snaps-in conveniently into any Channel Vision Central structured wiring panels of your choice (C-0112, C-0119, C-0138, or C-0150).

Punch down the CAT-5 pairs into the AB-404’s 110 connector inputs using a 110 punch down tool (e.g. model J-110-Tool). Using the same tool, punch down the four 110 connector outputs to the 110 connectors on the back of each AB-114 being installed. The connectors are color-coded for your convenience. (See diagram on the other side.)

Note: The AB-404 is expandable by connecting its 110 connector output to another AB-404 module (see diagram). However, each module must be powered individually. The AB-404 can be placed at any

Volume Trim Potentiometer:

Two trim potentiometers (“trim pots”) are located on the back of the AB-114. Using a small Phillips-head screwdriver, these trim pots may be manipulated to set the maximum volume level desired and to adjust the left /right balance.

Speaker Connections:

The output terminals of the AB-114 accepts both 16/2 and 16/4 speaker wires.

Status:

The AB-202 is factory shipped with the status port auto- matically set to power down the AB-114 when using an auto sensed source. This will preserve the life of the AB-114 volume control as well as conserve energy. A 12-volt power supply (e.g. model 5018) can be plugged into the status port of the AB-202 only if the source is not auto sensed. The AB-202 does not need to be

Operation:

The AB-114 can be powered on/off and volume can be controlled using the buttons on the unit.

If IR emitters have been installed as a part of your A-BUS system, you may operate sources with their own remote control (or a universal remote) by aiming it at the IR window on the AB-114.

The AB-114’s LED display will flash red to indicate it has received infrared signals from the remote control.

Local Source:

If you need to connect a local audio source to the A-BUS system, use the AB-301 to connect the source to the closest AB-114 installed.

Mounting:

Check all wire connections and test the system perform- ance before installing the AB-114 into a standard UL/ CSA approved electrical J-Box.

Remote:

An A-BUS remote may be used to adjust volume and switch sources by aiming it at an AB-114 keypad.
