[. . . ] Use it when making audio connections to other devices, changing cable routings, etc. Move the switch to the left to mute the AV-P2 audio output and to the right for normal operation. A-Net Active LED Whenever a valid A-Net signal is connected to the AV-P2 via the A-Net In port, the A-Net Active LED will light. Power LED The Power LED lights whenever the AV-P2 DC power supply is connected to a valid AC power source, or when it is receiving power over the Cat-5 connection. It does not, however, indicate that a valid A-Net digital stream is being received. That is the job of the A-Net Active LED. A-Net Channel Selector The AV-P2 can output single channel, dual mono, or stereo audio signals. The rotary channel selector knob is used to select a mono or 0 AV-P2 Rear Panel The rear panel of the AV-P2 Output Module contains the DC power connector, the left/right audio output Euroblock connections, and the A-Net connections. The outputs on the AV-P2 use 5. 0 mm Euroblock connectors, and can be connected to balanced or unbalanced audio devices. Male Euroblock jacks are provided. 18-24 VDC DC POWER 500mA LEFT AUDIO OUTPUT RIGHT AV-P2 OUT IN +­ +­ Euroblock connectors plug into the sockets on the AV-P2 panel. The Euroblock plugs can be connected using only a small flat-blade screwdriver. The AV-P2 rear panel interface Power Connector The AV-P2 Output Module comes with an external DC switching-type power supply. This type of power supply can be used worldwide with a wide range of AC wall current output voltages (100-240VAC). When traveling, you do not need to replace the power supply in countries where voltages are different. You may, however, need plug adapters to allow the power supply to be connected to wall outlets in some countries, since many countries use different physical plug layouts for their power systems. If a replacement power supply is required, always choose a power supply with equivalent specifications: 18-24 VDC, 500mA, center pin positive. 18-24 VDC A-Net Connections Two A-Net connections are provided on the rear panel of the AV-P2 Output Module. There is one A-Net In port and one A-Net Out port. The A-Net In port receives digital data in Aviom's proprietary A-Net format. The A-Net Out port is used to pass incoming A-Net data to additional A-Net compatible devices in a system. The A-Net Out port will always transmit the full 16-channel A-Net stream regardless of the settings on the AV-P2. LEFT AUDIO OUTPUT RIGHT AV-P2 OUT IN Audio Outputs Audio outputs on the AV-P2 are provided via locking Euroblock connectors. Each channel's output level can be set individually using the DIP switches on the front panel. DC POWER 500mA +­ +­ The AV-P2 rear-panel A-Net connections Connecting Audio The audio outputs on the AV-P2 Output Module can be connected to balanced or unbalanced devices via the Euroblock jacks. Wiring a Euroblock Euroblock connectors provide an easy, solder-free way of making audio connections between the AV-P2 and other audio components. Only a small flat-blade screw driver is required to make connections. For extra strength, you can add solder to each bare wire on an audio cable to stop the wire strands from unwinding (called "tinning"). The Euroblock plug, showing the screws that hold the individual wires in place (left-to-right), hot (+), cold (-), and ground Connecting to an Unbalanced Device The AV-P2 audio outputs can be connected to unbalanced audio devices; connections can use single-conductor or two-conductor shielded cable. IN 18-24 VDC DC POWER 500mA LEFT AUDIO OUTPUT RIGHT AV-P2 OUT Single-conductor shielded cable To connect the AV-P2 audio output to an unbalanced line-level device using single-conductor shielded cable: 1. Strip the insulating jacket of the cable back about . 75 inch (18 mm) to reveal the individual hot and ground wires within. Remove a small amount of each individual wire's insulation (approximately . 25 inch, 6 mm). On the Euroblock plug, use a small screw driver to loosen and open the sockets that will receive the individual wires. [. . . ] Plug a Cat-5e cable into the A-Net iN port on the first output module. This cable will be used to span up to 500 feet/150 meters between the two sides of the network. Connect the cable from the A-Net iN port in Step 4 to the A-Net out port on the second Pro16 Series input module. Connect the second group of 16 audio sources to inputs 1-16 on the second Pro16 Series input module. [. . . ]
