SAMPLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 4

A-BUS Ready Sub-Zone Addition

Adding A-BUS allows sub-zoning of the audio dis- tribution of the CAV6.6 system. This configura- tion demonstrates sub-zoning of the first zone through the use of an A-BUS expansion hub. Only the first four (1-4) CAV6.6 zones can be expanded using the same numbered (1-4) A-BUS Ready Sub-Zone ports.

Powering the A-BUS Ready Sub-Zones The four A-BUS Ready Sub-Zone ports must be powered by a Russound A-PS 24VDC 2.5A power supply, which is plugged into the 24VDC 2.5A POWER INPUT jack on the rear of the CAV6.6. This is only required when amplified control modules are used without an A-BUS hub.

A-BUS Hub

The A-BUS Hub is used with A-BUS amplified control modules to create additional audio sub- zones and listening options. Using an A-H2 Hub connected to a CAV6.6 A-BUS Ready Sub-Zone port provides two additional A-BUS Sub-Zones. The A-H2 requires a 24VDC 2.5A Power Supply such as the Russound A-PS power supply. Mount the A-H2 near the CAV6.6 and source equipment using screws or hook and loop fastener.

CAT-5 Connections

The A-H2 Hub connects to the CAV6.6 A-BUS Ready Sub-Zone Port using RJ-45 CAT-5 cables. The cable connects from the CAV6.6 Sub-Zone port to the Expansion Input port on the Hub, then from the Hub keypad output to the RJ-45 wall plate.

Keypad Connections

The A-BUS A-KP2 amplified keypad and the A-VC2 amplified volume control connect to the Hub via the wall plate. Use the CAT-5 T568A RJ- 45 wiring configuration for these connections.

Multi-Source Mode Switch

The Multi-Source Mode switch is located on the side of the A-KP2 keypad. It can be set to multi or single source. When the switch is set to "multi," it allows the selection of sources 1 through 4 on the CAV6.6. If "single" is selected, the A-KP2 will not allow source selection from the keypad, but will allow selections by IR remote.

Speakers

The speakers for the A-BUS Ready Sub-Zone are connected to the individual A-BUS amplified con- trol modules. The speaker wire is connected to the keypad using the screw terminal on the rear of the keypad.
