Installation Manual / Warranty InformationCustom HubABX-88Multi-Source HubTo complete your Forté A-BUS installation, also refer to the manual of theroom units either the volume control module or the A-BUS/direct speaker.ABR-43 IR Learning Remote Keypad - Please see individual manual foradditional instructionsAB-45 Volume Control Module - Please see insdividual manual foradditional instructionsSystem DesignThe ABX-88 Multi-Source Hub is compatible with any A-BUS room unit,either an IR Volume Control Module or A-BUS/direct speaker. It is possibleto mix Multi-Source Hubs with single source Hubs.There are many reasons you may want to do this, the most common reasonis because in an open plan house you may have interconnecting areaswhich are acoustically the same (family rooms, dining rooms and kitchens).So if you change the source in one area the other rooms can track the samesource. Another example is bedrooms with ensuites. In the master bedroom,the full-function Volume Control Module would normally be used; however,in the bathroom a less featured Volume Control Module may be all that isneeded. The Multi-Source Hub has a second output port (the second bankrequires a separate power supply) in each zone to cater for this requirement.If additional areas are required within the zone the second output port maybe connected to a separate 4-Room Hub to expand that zone.A-BUS RemoteSource EquipmentABX-88APS-40ABD-C6Dining Room (Listening to CD)IR RemoteABO-45OperationThe ABX-88 Multi-Source Hub is controlled by A-BUS infrared (IR)commands. When the Hub receives a command for any one of the fourinputs in any zone, the Hub will switch on. This will be indicated by the greenstatus indicator. The 12 volt trigger will also activate. If source componentsare activated by a power strip switched by the trigger, they will also activate.Each zone with a Volume Control Module must have a keypad that includesbuttons with A-BUS functions (inputs 1-4 or input Up/Down, Room Muteand System Mute commands). Alternatively, any Volume Control Modulecontaining an IR receiver may be used in conjunction with an A-BUS remotethat has these IR commands built-in. Volume Control Modules without RoomOn/Mute switches will activate when any Zone is turned on. Other moduleswith individual ON/MUTE capability require either an ON command or avolume Up/Down command to activate the module. These units will resetto a low volume level the next time the system is turned on. The A-BUSMUTE command will only mute the room unit. To mute the whole system, theSYSTEM MUTE command must be used.HubInputsOutputsSize (WHD)SpecificationsABX-88AudioControlPowerAudioControlA-BUSTriggerInfraredFour-Source, Multi-Zone Hub4 x Stereo(RCASockets)1 VrmsAdjustable(-6dB)ABX Control (RJ-45 Socket)2 x 2.5 mm DC Sockets +V Centre (Banks A and B)4 x Stereo (RCA Sockets) 1 VrmsABX Control (RJ-45 Socket)2 x 4 Zones (RJ-45) (Bank A and B)12 VDC 100 mA (3.5 mm Socket)4 x Routed, 1 x Common (3.5 mmSockets)241mm (9-1/2” ) x 106mm (4-1/8”) x38mm (1-1/2”)Power SupplyInputsOutputsSize (WHD)APS-40PowerPowerPower Supply(1 Req. for each bank, 1 Supplied)120~240 VAC 50/60Hz 96w24 VDC 4A (2.5mm DC plug)70 mm (2.8”) x 151.5 mm (6”) x 36.4 mm (1.4”)Remote ABR-43 Learning Remote Keypad with CradleColour WhiteBattery 2 x 3v DL2032Size (WHD) Cradle 73.8 x 117.8 x 10mmRemote 49.8 x 99.9 x 7.8mmThank you for your Forté A-BUS purchase |
