Audio Authority 906G Installation And Operation

Model 906G Installation and Operation
Model 906G control panel is designed to control a
single product group in AccessEZ
demonstration systems. The 906G can switch up to
99 products in a group (with the appropriate number
of switch modules), deselect products, and perform
A/B comparisons. Multiple 906G control panels may
be used in one system, each panel controlling a different
product group (see Figure 2). A single group may also
be controlled by two different 906G control panels (see
Figure 3).

Setup
Before permanent installation, set the GROUP rotary
switch (Figure 1) on the back of the 906G to match
the product group number of the group it is to control.
Set the ELEX / SPK switch to ELEX unless the 906G
will be controlling 932, 934 or 939 speaker switching
modules (e.g., Figure 3). If you want to control one
product group from two different room locations
(Master/Slave configuration, Figure 3) set the 906/906A
switch to 906A on one of the control panels.

are differentiated by changing the Group setting, or in this case, the Slide Switch setting.

Making Connections
Connect the 906G system bus port (Figure 1) to any
Access module's vacant system bus port and power
up the system. When the system first boots up, the
906G displays the "product type" (E for Electronics or
S for Speakers) and product group number, reflecting
the switch settings on the rear panel. (Example: "E2"
= Electronics group number 2.) Next the display reads,
"Po" which indicates that the 906G is polling the system
to see how many modules it can detect. After polling,
it displays "– –" which indicates that the control panel
is ready for operation, and no products are selected.
Important: If you change the settings on the 906G
switches, you must reboot the system (disconnect,
then reconnect DC power) to activate the changes.
Limiting Selection Numbers
When a display has blank positions where product will
not be connected, it may be desirable to reduce the
number of products that the 906G can select. To
customize the number of available positions, use a
paper clip to press the setup button, located behind
the pinhole on the left side of the front panel. Turn the
knob to the highest position you wish to allow, and
press the setup button again to save. The 906G will
now remember the custom product number even after
reboot. To return to the default settings, reboot with
the SELECT PREVIOUS switch held down.
