Wiring Diagram CONTROLLER (optional) Connect to controller or other serial port device. With a controller, select zone and source and control volume and power from an OmniTouchTM Touchscreen or via controller program. RIM VSC Remote Input Modules allow any source from anywhere in the house to be listened to in any or all zones. RIMs also have an IR emitter port for routed IR commands from VSCs.
Introduction Thank you for choosing the Hi-FiTM 2 by LEVITON audio distribution system. Hi-Fi 2 is an affordable high fidelity Central Controller Distributed Audio System that powers speakers through digital amplification. This installation guide is intended as an aid to installing the Hi-Fi 2 Eight Zone, Eight Source Kit. The installer should also have thoroughly reviewed and understood the Hi-Fi 2 User’s Guide which has important information regarding operation and configuration of the system.
5 6 8 7 10 9 11 13 14 5. Local Audio Inputs These jacks are where local line-level audio inputs are connected. 6. Variable Output for Zone 1 This is a variable audio output used for attaching additional amplification to Zone 1. 7. Variable Output for Zone 8 This is a variable audio output used for attaching additional amplification to Zone 8. 8. Page Input When this input is triggered, all audio zones are turned on at their preset paging volume (or muted) and switched to Source 8. 9.
Installation The Hi-FiTM 2 Main Assembly houses the Hi-Fi 2 processor, power supply, and amplifiers. It is also the termination point for all components and connections to Hi-Fi 2.
Setting the Frequency of the IR Output TOP 38kHz 56kHz SW1 FREQUENCY SWITCH When using the RIM to send IR data to source equipment, there are two different IR carrier frequencies in which the RIM can transmit the IR signal. The default setting of 38 kHz is used for most audio sources. However, most cable and satellite converter boxes operate at a higher IR carrier frequency closer to 56 kHz. Each RIM has a switch that allows you to change the frequency of the IR output when using such devices.
Installing Volume-Source Control (VSC) Keypads The audio sources can be selected and controlled by any Volume-Source Control (VSC). Additionally, each VSC includes an IR receiver that allows you to remotely control the Hi-FiTM 2 system and/or audio sources from any audio zone in the house. Volume-Source Control (VSC) Keypads connect directly to the Hi-Fi 2 Main Assembly using Cat 5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP) for communications. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.
3. Remove the rubber keypad. 4. Insert the new rubber keypad. Align the latches of the new insert to the openings on the VSC and gently snap into place. 5. Attach the new faceplate. Serial Control be remotely controlled through an LEVITON controller or by a device with a serial interface. When connected, the remote device can select an audio zone and change its power state, source, volume setting, and mute setting, completely configure the Hi-Fi 2 system, and issue transport controls to compatible sources.
Ethernet Control Hi-FiTM 2 is equipped with an Ethernet port which makes it network accessible. When connected to the local network, the Hi-Fi 2 can be completely controlled and configured by other compatible IP devices on the network. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with a compatible audio source, the Hi-Fi 2 VSC can display metadata (album, artist, and track) from the source and is able to control the source using transport control commands.
Speaker Wiring When running the cables for speakers, use 16-gauge two-conductor or four-conductor (fourconductor stranded is recommended for neater installation) speaker wire. Speaker cable is homerun from the speaker location to the location of the Hi-FiTM 2 Main Assembly. The Hi-Fi 2 System is designed to work with one pair of 8-ohm speakers per audio zone.
Variable Outputs Zone 1 and Zone 8 are equipped with a pre-amp variable output for use with an optional power amplifier that allows you to deliver more power to the zone speakers. This is ideal for outdoor areas or a large living room where more power and/or additional speakers are desirable. To connect Zone 1 and/or Zone 8 to an optional power amplifier using a stereo patch cable: 1) Connect the power amplifier to the Hi-FiTM 2 Main Assembly by inserting a 3.5mm stereo connector into the 3.
Powering the HI-FITM 2 System The built-in power supply powers the entire system including the Hi-Fi 2 processor, zone amplifiers, Remote Input Modules, and VolumeSource Control keypads. 1) Insert the supplied IEC Power Cord into the power jack (above the Expander connector) under the section labeled “Power” on the Hi-Fi 2 Main Assembly. 2) Plug the power cord into a 120 VAC outlet. The “Standby” LED indicator will flash for several seconds as the Hi-Fi 2 system starts.
