Introduction

Voltage Control Box

The Voltage Control Box (VCB) is an external control
device, which provides four analog potentiometer
inputs and four logic inputs/outputs. When a VCB is
placed, an Initialization Properties dialog box appears
for assigning the quantities of logic inputs/outputs (4
total). Although the quantity of logic connections on a
Voltage Control Box (4) is different from those on a
Logic Box (20), their operation and behavior are
identical. (See

Logic Box

for further explanation of

logic inputs/outputs).

Once a VCB block has been placed, double-clicking it will produce a dialog for assigning Analog
(potentiometer) controls.

A single VCB allows potentiometer adjustment of up to four selectable

Nexia levels. Levels can be individual or ganged levels within Nexia. This includes

Level Control

blocks, as well as levels within other component blocks (such as Inputs & Outputs,

Mixers

,

Equalizers

, etc.). Object Code selects from a list of blocks found in the layout, and Instance ID is

entered automatically, but both can be found easily using

Object ID Inspector

. Control ID selects

from a list of available levels within the chosen block. Identifier provides a custom label for the
assigned control.

External controls must be identified (see

Device Maintenance

) and associated with their

corresponding component blocks within the layout (see

Equipment Table

). The VCB will assume

a full range of 0~5 Volts returning from connected potentiometers, unless the

VCB Calibration

procedure is followed (see

Device Maintenance

). Please refer to the 'Installation Guide'

(included with controls), or see

Remote Control Bus

for more information.
