dmc1 Introduction Designed for installation in new home, the dmc1 is a whole-house music communications system. It is designed to provide years of enjoyment and service to the homeowner. M&S audio products are backed with more than 50 years of experience in the design and manufacture of precision acoustical equipment for the home.
dmc1 Important Safety Instructions READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE DMC1 SYSTEM FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE REPLACE THE FUSE IN THE POWER SWITCH MODULE ONLY WITH SAME TYPE 6 AMP, 120 VOLT FUSE. THE dmc1 MUST BE INSTALLED BY A M&S SYSTEMS DEALER OR INSTALLERS, AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND ELECTRICAL CODES. Warning: always follow these safety instructions. Retain these instructions for future system reference.
dmc1 The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
dmc1 • Do not over-tighten the screws for the remote stations or the master as the plastic face panels may crack or strip out. • Use only M&S Systems certified replacement parts and have them installed by an M&S Systems dealer or installer. Unauthorized substitutions can result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. • Upon completion of any service or product repair, have the M&S Systems dealer or installer conduct a safety check to ensure the system is in proper operating condition.
dmc1 Connect each colored conductor to its respective screw terminal. The screw terminals are marked with the appropriate wire colors. Note: Some screw terminals have more than one wire connected to them. Mount each room station to its mounting ring using the two screws provided with each dmc1 room station as shown in figure 2.
dmc1 Satellite Volume Control MVC1 Series At each MVC1 location strip approximately 4 inches of jacket from wires and separate colored conductors from each other. Connect drain wires together from both cables using a wire nut. Wire nut each colored conductor to its respective wire as shown in figure 4. Connect blue and violet wires to the corresponding terminals of the satellite speakers.
dmc1 Door Stations At each door station location, strip approximately 4 inches of jacket from wire and separate colored conductors from one another. Strip ½ inch of insulation from conductors as shown in figure 1. Cut each shield drain wire at jacket to prevent them from touching each other (MS4DCXSC only). Terminate yellow and orange wires to the screw terminals on the bell button (if equipped). Connect the red and black wires to the red ban black wires on the speaker respectively. Refer to figure 6.
dmc1 Important: Verify all cable run locations prior to connecting if they were not labeled at rough-in. Incorrectly connecting cables to the master, room stations or door stations may result in system damage. Install the optional chime module MC3 or MC8 in the wall housing by pressing the chime module over the 4 plastic standoffs attached to the wall housing as shown in figure 8. Refer to the instructions shipped with the chime module.
dmc1 Connect each yellow wire to a note selection terminal. (Do not connect more than one yellow wire per note terminal.) Plug in the modular chime plug to the 4 pin connector labeled as CHIME on the dmc1 master unit as shown in figure 10. Figure 10 - dmc1 connections Antenna Connection Connect the FM dipole twin lead antenna to the FM 300 Ohm terminals on the dmc1 master as shown in figure 10. Connect the orange AM antenna wire to the AM terminal on the master.
dmc1 may result in poor range of the wireless remote control system. Connect the wire harness from the MCRC to the connector labeled REMOTE on the master as shown in figure 10. Door Release Connection To use of the DRW door release, connect the VM127X cables from the remote power transformer and the DRW door release striker. The 24volt/4amp dry contact switch closure may also be used for home automation or security panel panic alarm interface.
dmc1 Figure 13 – Stereo wiring connections Figure 14 – Mono wiring connections Satellite Speakers At each speaker location, strip approximately 4 Inches of jacket from the MS2SXSC cables and separate the colored wires from each other. Strip 1/2 Inch of insulation from each wire. Connect the MS2SXSC cable to the speaker as shown in figure 8. NOTE: The bare drain wire from the cable is not connected and should be cut off.
dmc1 marked locations with the screws provided as shown in figure 17. FAILURE TO PROPERLY MOUNT THE AMPLIFIER MAY LEAD TO AMPLIFIER DAMAGE AND/OR VOLUME CONTROL/PREAMP WIRING DAMAGE. dmc1 Connection Locate the MS7X5SC cable from the dmc1 master. Connect each of the 7 colored wires and shield drain wire from the MS7XSC cable to the 8 pin terminal block as shown in figure 18. Plug the 8 pin connector into the jack labeled PREAMP INTERCONNECT.
dmc1 Stereo/Mono Configuration Each MC960PA remote amplifier is equipped with a stereo/mono select jumper. All MC960PA amplifiers are shipped from the factory with this jumper in the STEREO position. If an amplifier is required to drive more than 10 monaural speakers, this jumper must be set to the MONO position (refer to figure 20). Setting the jumper to the MONO position will cause monaural output to all speakers whether they are connected via stereo controls or mono controls.
dmc1 Powering Up The dmc1 After all connections have been made, insert the power plug into the transformer and secure the master to the wall housing using the 2 screws provided. If using the dmc1F frame with a dmc1CD player, install the master unit over the frame. Do not over tighten the screws as the plastic may distort or crack. Install the speaker panel on the master as shown in figure 22. Please be careful to only apply pressure on the speaker panel at the corners and not in the middle.
