ABUS-HUB4X8 Multi-Source Multi-Zone Hub

Audio Input (1) (2) -

There are four stereo line-level source inputs (2). Each input has individual level adjustments (1) (left and right).

Trigger (3)

- The trigger is activated when any part of the system is on; its output is 12 volts at 300mA.

Emitter Ports

(5) (7)

- Each

source input

has its

routed emitter

port (5)

if more

that one

component of

the same

type is

used the

remote control

commands

will not be confused. Eg. 2 tuners. There is also a common emitter port (70) to control components that are common to all zones.

Indicators (4)

(6) (10)

- The

green status

indicator (4)

is on

when the

system (one

or all

zones) is

in operation.

The red

emitter indicator

(6) ﬂashes

when

there is an infrared data command passing through the hub. The power indicators (10) indicate when the corresponding power supply is on.

ABUS Outputs

(8 A

& B)

- Each

of the

ABUS Outputs

provides the

power, audio

and data

signals to

feed a

Volume

Control Module.

There are

four output

zones, each

zone may

independently select

from any

of the

four sources.

Each zone

has two

outputs bank

“A” and

bank “B”.

One power

supply is

supplied

with the

hub to

power the

outputs for

one bank.

A second

power supply

can be

added to

power the

second bank

or alternatively

the second

output can

used as an expansion port to feed one or more single source hubs with expansion capability.

CAUTION: Only

an approved

ABUS 4-Room

Power Supply

(12) should

be used.

Substitutes which

may appear

to be

suitable are

not recommended

and

could void warranty.

DC Power Input Sockets (13) -

There are two power sockets one for each output bank “A” and “B”.

Data Expansion

Ports (In/Out)

(9) -

Another ABUS-HUB4X8

may be

connected to

this port

if additional

zones are

desired. Up

to four

ABUS-HUB4X8

Multi-Source Multi-Zone

hubs may

be connected

together, providing

for a

maximum of

16 zones.

CAUTION: The

Data Expansion

Ports pass

the control

data between multi-source hubs and may not be used for any other purpose.

Note: The data expansion (9) and audio expansion (1

1) ports must be connected to additional hubs for proper function.

Expansion Ports

(Audio) (1

1) -

The RCA

Expansion

Outputs allow

expansion of

the audio

sources to

the main

system ampliﬁ

er or

to an

additional ABUS-

HUB4X8 Multi-Source

Multi-Zone Hub.

The audio

levels adjusted

at the

input will

be the

same on

the output

so no

level adjustments

will be

required on

the additional hubs).

IR Remote

Control (14)

- One

ABUS ABO-41RC

remote control

handset is

supplied with

the ABUS-HUB4X8

Multi-Source Multi-Zone

Hub. This

remote

control includes

a dedicated

ABUS bank

and includes

keys for

most standard

functions including

color cable

box buttons

(not used

in all

countries). The

remote control

has a

code library

built in;

however, it

is capable

of providing

advanced functions

for user

convenience. All

keys have

learning capability

including the bank keys; all keys can also learn multiple commands (macros). See separate instructions.

ABUS-VC3 Keypad Volume Control Module

The ABUS-VC3

(RJ) Keypad

Volume

Control Module

was designed

to work

with in

telligent ABUS

Multi-Source Multi-Zone

Hubs using

standard ABUS

commands. The

ABUS-VC3 provides the following function:

Volume Up/Down

Input Selection Up/Down

Room Off

System Off

Infrared repeating

Status indication

Infrared talkback

Volume level change identiﬁ

IR Remote Control ABO-41RC

The ABO-41RC

Remote Control

is a

very ﬂexible

device; it

has been

designed for

easy operation

and to

allow users

to tailor

the operation

for more

sophisticated operation.

It includes

a code

library for

easy

selection of

codes, a

dedicated ABUS

code bank,

all buttons

can learn

commands (including

bank buttons)

all buttons

can learn

macros (in

cluding the bank buttons).

Quite often

there are

products not

listed in

the library

so it

is possible

to encode

commands into

the Remote

Control from

the ones

supplied

with the

source components.

It is

also possible

to encode

multiple

commands into

one key

(macros). For

example; you

could encode

into

the SA

T bank

button commands

to turn

on your

television monitor, the

cable box

and select

the audio

input in

the ABUS

Multi-Source Multi-

Zone hub.

The operator

will then

only need

to press

one button

to turn

the system

on and

set it

up for

normal TV

operation. Additional

ABO-

41RC can be purchased if required.

Note: Macro

strings take

time to

emit, the

operator should

take care

not to

turn the

re-

mote control

away from

the infrared

receiver on

the Volume

Control Module

or speaker

before all commands have been generated.
