REMOTE CONTROL SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

To set up the remote control:
Connecting the system to the controlling computer
- The RS485 adaptor is plugged into the back of the computer and the cable (which must be 2-
core with a screen) runs from this adaptor to the 9-pin D connector on the back of the first
amplifier in the sequence and then on, via 9-pin D connectors, to all other amplifiers in the
system, thus creating the daisy chain link from one amplifier to the next.
NOTE: All amplifiers in the sequence must be connected at all times to enable the selection
of any one amplifier for individual remote control.
- There needs to be a D connector at either end of the cable and connected as follows:
Configuring the PC
