Controller Termination 
The 400DA is packed with control options: 
•  USB: Intended for initial installation 
Programming or firmware update. 
Not intended for permanent connection 
to a PC or other control system. 
•  ETHERNET: 100BaseT connection to a 
Home network router or switch. 
•  RS232 Serial: Electrically isolated 
Prevents hum in analog input circuits. 
•  CONTROLLERS: Conveys +12VDC, 
IR and Data between the 400DA and 
Axium keypad controllers, connected 
using CAT5 cables. 
•  BUS RUN: (Legacy) Port conveys 
+12VDC, IR & Data to remotely connected 
IR controllers. 
•  AMPON: +12VDC 100mA trigger 
output when a Zone is ON. 
•  PRESETS: P1 and P2 Inputs are active low. 
Connect C (common) and either P1 or P2 
across an illuminated door bell switch. 
The illuminated doorbell switch must have an 
External 12V – 24V AC/DC supply and 
current limiting resistor connected. 
If a dry contact is to be used for PRESET 
Activation, it must be normally closed or a             FIG 3 
Push to break contact. 
The BUS RUN 0V and +12V can be 
connected as shown in FIG 3 
•  EXPANSION BUS: Simple Patch cable 
interconnection for Axium amplifiers that 
conveys control and data between  
amplifiers in a stack. 
The cable length must be < 0.5m. 
Interconnection to older Axium amplifier 
models is possible only for the Control 
functions. 
A special cable must be made. See FIG 4. 
In older Axium amplifier models Analog 
audio was conveyed through a 34 way IDC 
cable. This is no longer supported, and 
connections must be done using RCA 
splitters in the analog audio inputs.
