User manual RUSSOUND A-H4DX

[. . . ] Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings, or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. [. . . ] Power Supply: The power supply plugs into the Hub. The Russound A-PS 24VDC/2. 5A unit is an example. The A-H4Dx is an A-BUS® 4-zone audio distribution hub used to expand from the 4 modules connected to the A-H4D to make an 8-zone system. The typical system would consist of an A-H4D, A-PS and up to four A-BUS® amplified modules. If more than 4 A-BUS® amplified modules are needed the A-H4Dx expands the system beyond four rooms to eight total A-BUS® amplified modules. When Using the A-H4Dx expansion hub, distributing audio, IR, and status to an additional four A-BUS® amplified modules is possible. IMPORTANT ­ Before installation, review the manuals included with each component in your system. If you are unsure of any of the installation procedures described herein or elsewhere, consult a professional electronics installer. 2 A-H4Dx CONNECTIONS The A-H4Dx connects simply to the A-H4D using the header pins shown. The header pin connection is for IR, audio and status. Another A-H4Dx can be added by connecting the female connection of the first A-H4Dx, located on the right side facing front, to the male header pins of the second A-H4Dx expansion hub. Capabilities are endless pending additional power supplies. Each A-BUS® in-wall hub uses 110 punch down connection to connect the CAT-5 wire to the A-BUS® amplified modules. Connect the A-BUS® amplified keypad modules by using CAT-5 wire to the 110 punch down connector using color coding as shown in the diagram. A-H4Dx KEY FEATURES 1)Mates to A-H4D through an expansion connection. 2)Incorporates individual 110 punch-down connection for up to four 4 A-BUS® amplified modules connectors. 3)The A-H4Dx is a single gang Decora® plate. The A-H4D and A-H4Dx will combine to create a three-gang Decora® arrangement. 4)24VDC 2. 5A power supply connection A-PS required for up to 4 additional amplified modules. 3 POWER SUPPLY Connect the A-PS, 24 VDC, 2. 5A, power supply to the power jack located on the front of the A-H4Dx Decora® wall plate. This will power the A-H4Dx and the connected A-BUS® amplified modules. A-H4Dx SPECIFICATIONS Power Supply: Keypad Connection: Expansion Connection: Dimensions: Weight: A-PS.
