[. . . ] Alternately, a single audio source can be connected directly to the A-H1. Audio Interface Hub for A-BUS® System Instruction Manual A-BUS® SYSTEM OVERVIEW The product you have just purchased is an integral part of the Russound® A-BUS Multi-Room Audio System. It is a component which, when combined with other essential components and your source equipment (receiver, CD player, etc. ), creates a versatile whole-house audio system that will fill your rooms with high-quality sound for years to come. A-BUS technology is a new, innovative method of providing high quality audio to remote locations with a single 8-conductor cable such as CAT-5. A-BUS technology provides many advantages over other methods of audio distribution, including: simple, single CAT-5 wiring scheme; infrared control of system components; infrared control of the optional A-KP2 amplified keypad module; and system power status. [. . . ] - Using a Russound Model 846C 120V/12VDC or comparable adapter, connect the coaxial plug end to the STATUS input on the Hub, and plug the adapter into a switched AC outlet on the source component. When the source is on and supplying status voltage to the Hub, the Amplified Module's LED indicator will illuminate green. When the source is turned off, all Amplified Modules that are on will also turn off (the A-VC will mute). IMPORTANT: When the status feature is enabled, it must be used (i. e. , supplied with power) in order to ensure proper operation with accessories such as the A-LC2 Local Source Input Module. Run the CAT-5 from each of the A-BUS keypad modules to the structured wiring panel. Follow the above color code and punch down the CAT-5 for each keypad output 110 punchdown connector. After all of the punchdown connections are made, route the cables in the box so they avoid power lines and are not grouped with other cables in the panel.
