Bose ControlSpace AMS8 Safety Instructions & Installation Manual page 13

Adding ControlSpace ™ AMS-8 units to create a system up to 80 audio zones
Optional Audio Link Cards are required. The number of required Audio Link Cable sets depends on the
total number of connected sources (incl. paging panels and internal tuner cards). One Audio Link Cable set
is required to link up to four analogue sources.
For each added rack frame, also add a piece of communication cable (2 wires + shielding) to link the
'Racklink 1 or 2' connection of the added rack to a free racklink connection on the previous installed rack.
Make sure that the termination jumpers are only placed on the RS485 communication cards of the first and
last AMS-8 system.
Master & Slave configuration
1) Turn each AMS-8 unit on, while pressing the arrow UP and RIGHT navigation button at the same time.
This action will activate the Bootloader mode.
2) Select 'Master' for the first AMS-8 unit in the system. Select the appropriate number of racks on the
master AMS-8 unit, e.g.: "Nr. of Racks: 10"
3) Every added rack will be a 'Slave' rack with a number starting at 2, 3, 4, 5 .... up to 10. E.g.: "Select
rackNr: 2"
4) Notice the 'live-mask' indication at the bottom of the graphic display. This indicates the number of AMS-
8 systems which are installed and connected. This live-mask is displayed as follows:"Racks: 00000011
11111111", which indicates 10 installed AMS-8 systems
5) As soon as all slave units have been detected, select 'Finish' on the master unit.
6) Re-start all racks (due to re-grouping of all the racks), by turning all units off and on again.
NOTE:
To link the digital signal of a Message Storage Card, Digital Input Card or the digital signal
(instead of analogue) of the Twin Tuner Card, one should add a Digital Input Card and Digital
Coaxial Cable (RCA-RCA) per added rack frame.
