DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Zone Considerations (continued from page 8) What is the performance requirement for each zone? Some zones may only require a keypad controller and speakers. Some may need an additional IR receiver. One may need a more flexible keypad and a high-power amplifier. A master suite may require a multi-channel amplifier to distribute audio to the bedroom, bathroom and patio.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Audio Source Connections Source Source Source Source Output Output Output Output #1 #2 #3 #4 CAUTION : Always unplug the DAB1’s power cord from the wall outlet before making source signal or speaker connections. The DAB1 has input and output connections for four source components. The corresponding S OURCE I NPUT and S OURCE O UTPUT connectors are arranged vertically (see Figure 6 ). The S OURCE O UTPUT connections are buffered.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Wiring the Speaker Connectors Use Screwdriver to Tighten Set Screws The DAB1’s speaker outputs are rated for 8-ohm nominal speakers. 1. Run speaker wire from each speaker to the controller location. We recommend that you mark each wire’s positive (‘+’) and negative (‘–’) leads, its channel (left or right) and which zone it is from so that you can connect it to the proper speaker terminals. 2. Strip no more than ¼” of insulation from each speaker lead.

DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Programming Keypad Macros for the DAB1 All commands executed by C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypads and DAB1 Keypads must be programmed into the the buttons as macros. Even the keypad functions that operate “out-of-the-box” are actually macros that have been factoryprogrammed into the buttons.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM 4) The DAB1 is factory-programmed for the following keypad functions: • P R E S S a n y S O U R C E B u t t o n : Turns the local zone ON with that source. • P R E S S - A N D - H O L D a n y S O U R C E B u t t o n : Activates PARTY MODE with that source for all zones. • P R E S S t h e V O L U M E U P / D O W N B u t t o n s : Raise and lower the volume in the local zone.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM The Macro Editor Screen (see Figure 46) M a c r o W i n d o w : Displays each step of the macro programmed into the selected button. Each line shows one action of the macro sequentially, with the first action at the top. If a macro has not been programmed-into the button the M ACRO W INDOW for that button will be empty. You create macros by dragging commands into the M ACRO W INDOW (see below).
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM NOTE: If the desired remote is not in the library, try using a similar product remote from that manufacturer. If that doesn’t work, see Adding IR Codes to the User IR Library with the OptiLinQ® IR Learner, on page 39. 5. Select the device. Its commands will appear in the small IR C OMMAND W INDOW on the M ACRO E DITOR Screen (see Figure 47 ). IR Command Window 6. Select the desired command in the list and drag it to the screen’s large M ACRO window.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM 3, and that all the IR macro commands for the S OURCE 4 CD player are routed to P ROGRAMMED IR P ORT 4. This way each CD player will receive only the commands intended for it. M ODIFYING THE IR L IBRARY To add new remotes or change commands in the M ASTER IR Library you must first create a U SER IR Library. This preserves a clean copy of the M ASTER IR Library and prevents codes from inadvertently being deleted or improperly edited. To modify the M ASTER IR Library: 1.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM E DITING IR C OMMANDS IN THE U SER IR L IBRARY The commands in the U SER IR library will almost always work without editing. However, to get some commands to work you may need to rename a particular function or change its IR carrier frequency, the number of times it is repeated or its sustain characteristic. You can do this in the IR Library Manager window. Edit Tab To edit an IR command for a particular remote: Figure 51: IR Library Manager EDIT Tab 1.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM • The remote will automatically be added to the U SER . CML library. 4. Use the A DD F UNCTIONS drop-down box (see Figure 53 ) to add the names of the new remote functions you’re going to capture. Select the function names in the drop-down box and click the A DD button to add them to the remote.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM 11. The function at the top of the IR Library’s new F UNCTION List will automatically be selected. If you want to learn a different function you can use the mouse to select it. 12. Press and hold the button on the remote control that matches the function selected in Step 11 The IR Learner’s S IGNAL LED will flash RED. Release the button when the the highlighted function on the Function List changes to the one below the one you’re learning.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM U n i t : Assigns the DAB1 Internal Command to a particular DAB1 unit in multi-unit systems. Z o n e : Assigns the DAB1 Internal Command to a particular zone. You can assign commands to any zone being controlled by a particular DAB1, or to all zones. V a l u e : Assigns an action to the Internal Command. Values vary depending on which Function is selected.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM RS-232 Command (Outbound Serial Control) The DAB1 can issue macros containing outbound serial control strings to a device in the system via its RS-232 connector (see Figure 14 , on page 17). To create an RS-232 macro command set the following parameters and then drag the icon into the M ACRO Window (see Figure 60 ): Select Baud Rate Select Format B a u d R a t e — Select the correct baud rate from the drop-down box for the device being communicated with.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM You can edit an RS-232 command after it has been dragged into the M ACRO Window by double-clicking or right-clicking the command string. The E DIT RS-232 C OMMAND window will open. This allows changes to be made to the individual RS-232 commands without having to delete them and replace them with new commands. Figure 62 shows the E DIT RS-232 COMMAND window open, containing a replacement macro command string.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM After setting the number of repeats, drag the Repeat Steps icon into the M ACRO Window. Then drag the command to be repeated into the bracket connected to the Repeat command (see Figure 65 , on page 44). Drag Commands into Toggle Bracket Toggle IR Code The T OGGLE IR C ODE command (see Figure 66 ) causes a button to alternate between two different IR commands each time the button is pressed.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM DAB1 Inbound Serial Commands Each DAB1 inbound serial command begins with a colon character (:), followed by a single letter that indicates the desired command, then one or more parameters, and ends with a carriage return ().
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Inbound Serial Control of DAB1s in Multi-Unit Systems In systems with multiple DAB1 units, serial commands in the above format will only control the DAB1 unit to which the serial control device is directly connected.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM S IMULATE B UTTON P RESS Serial Commands No t e : R e q u i re s f i r m w a re v e r s i o n v 2 . 0 o r h i g h e r The S IMULATE B UTTON P RESS serial command :P (see table on page 46) can be used to allow a serial control device to trigger the macro that is programmed into any keypad button in any DAB1 zone.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Using the DAB1 with Sonance Navigator ® K2 and K1 Programmable Keypads The DAB1 is also compatible with Sonance Navigator K1 and K2 keypads. These programmable keypads provide additional capability for zones that require more sophisticated control than the DAB1 and C4630 SE keypads offer.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Using DAB1 Internal Macros with K1/K2 Programmable Keypads Unlike the DAB1 Keypad and C4630 Main and Numeric Keypads, the K1 and K2 keypads can store and execute their own macros in addition to triggering macros stored in the DAB1. Since the DAB1 will only output one set of IR commands at a time, you must use time delays to ensure that only one set of macro commands executes at a time.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Triggering DAB1 E XTRA C OMMAND Macros From the K1 and K2 The K1 and K2 triggers for the DAB1 E XTRA C OMMAND macros are included in the SonanceIRLibrary_2006 file, which can be downloaded from the Sonance website (www.sonance.com). Once you’re at the website select the E LECTRONICS category. From there, select the DAB1 and go to the D OWNLOADS section. Follow the instructions to download the IR library file.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Getting System Configuration Information The Sonance Control Manager can generate a System Configuration Repor t containing all of the system information and all of the programming information for each device in the system. This report can be a great help when confirming that a system has been properly programmed before turning it over to a client, or when troubleshooting a system that may not be working as expected. Generating a System Configuration Report 1.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Finding RS-232 Commands in Macros As stated on page 45, the DAB1 is capable of serial operation in one direction only , either inbound OR outbound. Placing a single RS-232 command in one macro will automatically configure the DAB1 for outbound serial operation — the unit will not respond to inbound commands from a connected serial control device.
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM Appendix 1: “Party Mode” “Party Mode” allows all zones in the system to be turned-on when any zone is turned ON with a P RESS - AND -H OLD of a Source button. The selected source component will then play in all zones. Party Mode and C4630 activated in between all function the works in a system with a single DAB1, or in a large system with multiple DAB1s (or a combination of DAB1s SEs) that are connected via the S YNC connections (see Sync Connections , on page 16).
DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM 4. Drag the factory-programmed Party Mode macro into the trash. 5. Create a new macro by selecting the following Macro Function parameters in their respective drop-down boxes: C OMMAND T YPE = INTERNAL COMMAND F UNCTION = POWER OFF U NIT = THIS UNIT Z ONE = ALL ZONES 6. Drag the Macro icon into the Macro Window and select the OK button. 7. Right-click on the Z ONE O FF button and select “Make This Key Global”. (This assigns the command to all zones in the system.
