User manual CAMBRIDGE AUDIO INCOGNITO LR10

[. . . ] The keypads do not require local power and are powered via the cable from the hub. The AH10 hub and KP10 keypad utilize A-BUS TM technology, and can be switched between Incognito A-BUS or standard A-BUS mode (switches located on the underside of the AH10 and rear of KP10 respectively). A-BUS is a standard which provides compatibility between systems from various manufacturers. When using Incognito A-BUS mode and our own keypads, some extra features are possible such as changing sources from the keypad itself and the fitment of local input modules. [. . . ] A fader function on the KP10 can be used to adjust the level between the speakers connected to the KP10 and the external amplifier/active subwoofer, so that the balance between the two can be adjusted. Outlet with two Phono/RCA sockets CCTV A CCTV system may be connected to the Incognito Multi-Room system. Connect the monitor/TV video signal output to the VH10 at the CCTV IN socket located on the top surface of the unit allowing the live video feed to be viewed in all connected zones. If sound is also required, the audio signal output of the CCTV system may be connected to the EXT / CCTV inputs on the AH10. Video IR10 CCTV hub Audio (if available) Cat5 If the CCTV system is to be remote controlled connect an IR-1 infrared emitter to the ALL COMMANDS output on the AH10 and stick the emitter over the IR receiver of the CCTV system. This will allow the user to control the CCTV system from any room in the house. 12 Incognito multi-room Incognito multi-room LARGER SYSTEMS Linking Units For large installations which require more than four main zones and four sub-zones, an AH10 `linking' facility is provided. Units are linked via a Cat-5e patch cable to the `Hub Link' in and out sockets on the top right hand corner of each AH10. In order to share audio input sources with the first AH10, the second may be joined using Incognito CK10 audio couplers (see diagram). These double-ended phono plugs simply connect the `Loop out' sockets of the first AH10, to the `Audio input' sockets of the second, allowing both to access the same sources and distribute them to all available zones. CK10 couplers CK10 couplers Cat-5 patch cable Up to four AH10s may be linked together in this way, providing audio for a maximum of 16 main zones for the AH10, or 16 main zones and 16 sub-zones for the AH10. VH10 Linking Should video also be required in more than the four main zones and four sub-zones provided by the VH10, then these units may also be linked. Each VH10 must be connected to a corresponding AH10 via the Cat-5e patch cable, in order to provide power and switching commands. Cat-5 patch cable Video input sources may then be shared between both VH10 units by using Incognito CK10 couplers (See diagram). These doubleended phono plugs simply connect the `Loop out' sockets of the first VH10 to the `Video input' sockets of the second, allowing both to access the same sources and distribute them to all available zones. Up to four VH10s may be linked together with the corresponding four AH10s in this way, providing video for a maximum of 16 main zones for the AH10. Connections between AH10 and VH10 to allow eight main zones and eight sub-zones z Incognito multi-room 13 PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM It is suggested that you locate keypads: · 138cm height from the floor finish (to centre of keypad) or taking into account light switch locations etc · 25-35cm away from the outer edge of any door frame or wall edge · Away from direct, bright sunlight which may affect infra-red performance When installing your Incognito multi-room entertainment system, r consideration should be given to detailed advance planning. We strongly suggest you read this entire manual before commencing any work. AH10 location is critical See opposite for details AH10 A-BUS audio hub B The AH10 is located alongside source components which means you have two AH10 location options: 1. Run two standard speaker cables from the KP10 to mounted loudspeakers. If video is required, run CT100/RG6 high-quality coaxial cable from the VH10 main zone connection either directly to the video display, or to a wall-mounted panel fitted with a suitable phono/RCA connector.

Cambridge Audio Enhanced A-BUS Cambridge Audio Enhanced A-BUS Standard A-BUS Mode Switch See User Guide for details Standard A-BUS Mode Switch See User Guide for details AUDIO LOOP OUTPUT - CONNECT SOURCES OTHER END Cabling tips Cat5e cable should be run through the installation in electrical conduit, either metal, non-metallic, rigid or intermediate, wherever possible. Should conduit not be available or impractical, cabling running through frames or beams must be a minimum of 25 mm/1 inch from the nearest edge of that structure. If the frame or beam is metallic, then the cable should be protected by a bush or grommet. When routing cables around the installation, care must be taken to prevent kinking and trapping. Any cable ties used must not be tightened any more than is necessary to hold the cable in place. Always re-check the colour code of the Cat5e cable connections to ensure they are correct. Fix to a hard surface such as a cupboard surface, not to carpet or a soft-lined surface, as this will inhibit airflow through the unit. Do not situate in close proximity to any installation which will produce excessive electrical noise such as dimmer racks etc (these may interfere with the unit). Situate within three metres of a power socket. VH10 video hub Locate in close proximity to the AH10 (maximum of five metres away). Fix to a hard surface such as a cupboard surface, not to carpet or a 16 Incognito multi-room Incognito multi-room KP10 CU version KP10 EU version KP10 A-BUS keypad B The KP10 EU version should be fitted into a standard single UK (square) 47mm deep back-box (the stainless steel/silver KP10 EU should be fitted into a 50­60mm deep back-box/pattress). The KP10 CU version should be fitted into a standard single US Jbox.
