User manual RUSSOUND A-H1

[. . . ] 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. Every A-BUS System is comprised of components from each of the following three areas. A-BUS Amplified Modules: The Module contains both the amplifier for the room's speakers as well as the control for those speakers. The Russound A-KP2 Amplified Keypad (with built-in IR receiver) and A-VC Amplified Volume Control are examples of A-BUS Amplified Modules. [. . . ] 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.

IR EMITTERS Connect an IR emitter such as the 845. 1 to each of the 4 IR connectors on the A-H1 (you need use only one IR emitter if you've connected a single source directly to the A-H1). The IR signal that is received through a zone's Amplified Keypad is routed to the A-H1's Common IR outputs. This allows remote operation of sources such as CD, DVD, or DSS from each zone.
