REFER TO THE DIAGRAMS INSIDE. A-VC2 OVERVIEW INSTALLATION NOTES · Before connecting the A-VC2: - Make sure that the A-PS power supply is not connected to the A-BUS Hub or, if you are using an A-BUS-Ready receiver, that the receiver is off. · The recommended maximum length for use with standard CAT-5 cable is 250 feet. [. . . ] A-BUS Hubs: All components of the A-BUS system must be wired centrally to a Hub located near your source equipment. The Hub provides the connection for source equipment, volume controls, infrared emitters and power supply. The Russound A-PS 24VDC/2. 5A unit is an example. The A-VC2 is an in-wall, A-BUS Amplified Control Module with a rotary control for speaker volume level and power on/off. The A-VC2 connects to A-BUS Hubs or A-BUS-Ready receivers using CAT-5 wiring, and to loudspeakers using conventional speaker wire. 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. 6 MOUNTING Check all connections and test the system's operation before installing the A-VC2 into the wall. Using the included hardware, install the A-VC2 into a standard UL/CSA approved electrical J-Box as shown. A-VC2 FEATURES 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Power On/Off Volume Level LED indicator for source component on/off status Volume Trims for setting max. allowable level and L/R balance Line Out for connecting to external amp or powered subwoofer Matches Decora® faceplate (not included) 7 OPERATION · Rotate the knob to switch the A-VC2 on and off and to adjust the volume level. · If you are using the STATUS feature in your A-BUS system, the LED indicator on the A-VC2 will illuminate green when your source equipment is on, even when the A-VC2 is off. 1 CAT-5 CONNECTIONS A CAT-5 cable is used to connect the A-VC2 to a keypad output on an A-BUS Hub or A-BUS-Ready receiver. For clean installations, use RJ45 CAT-5 patch cables to connect from the Hub to an RJ45 Wall Plate (optional), and then wire from the Wall Plate to the Amplified Module (see diagram). The Amplified Control Modules have 110 punchdown connectors for the 8 individual conductors of the CAT-5 cable (use a punchdown tool with a 110 blade to insert conductors). NOTE: When wiring directly to an Amplified Control Module (i. e. , not using an RJ45 Wall Plate) use T568A RJ45 wire configuration for connection to the hub.
