  • Page 4: Description Of The Delta System

    The Delta-88 also provides the power supply for the room amplifiers (RAM- 50s and RBM-50s) and is fully fanned cooled. The Delta-88 can accept up to eight sources for direct access from any 3000 Series keypad. If video sources are included among these eight sources for composite video distribution, a VSM-8 Video-follow-Audio Switching Module will be required so that the video sources' composite video outputs connect to the Delta-88.
  • Page 5 VSM-8 takes a card slot inside the Delta-88. Thus, using one VSM-8 (only one per Delta-88) in a single Delta-88, will leave space in the Delta-88 for up to seven RAM-50 Room Amp Cards. A single VSM-8 can provide switching of up to eight video sources to up to seven zones.
  • Page 6 (in software), the ACC-48's AC outlets will engage on and off with respect to the sources in use on the Delta-88. Thus an ACC-48 can provide basic independent AC control of up to four sources. Two ACC-48s could provide basic independent AC control of eight sources.
  • Page 7 Delta-88. Option 2 - Zone Tracking. When the Delta-88's 9 pin "D" connector is set to zone tracking (in software), the ACC-48's AC outlets will engage on and off with respect to a zones use on the Delta-88.

  • Page 21 AUX DC Trigger (Future Delta-88 Feature - Will Require Software Upgrade When Released The AUX DC Trigger is an input to the Delta-88 (not an output). It is designed to provide an automatic muting of the Delta-88 when it receives a 3-24V AC or DC signal from an outboard device such as a door bell or telephone.

    ADA Bus™ components, the Delta-88 or the ACC-3000. In a system using several Delta- 88s, only one Delta-88 (the main unit, not a slave unit) will have a power switch designed to re-boot the system. Follow the guidelines at the top of the pages in this section to determine which Main AC wiring diagram best suits your application.
  • Page 23 Delta-88. ADA does recommends running no more than two Delta-88s off of any single AC circuit and subsequently, off of any one primary Delta-88. Thus when more than two Delta-88s are used, the inclusion of an RPS-1 will be needed for the third and fourth Delta-88.

    Please note, if the special EIC AC line cord for the PCT-8 to Delta-88 connection was not included with your system, you can connect both the PCT-8 and Delta-88 to the ACC-3000's Switched "B" AC outlet using a AC power strip.
  • Page 26 You will therefore need an ACC-3 Low Voltage Controlled AC Outlet which can cut power to the PCT-8 when the Delta-88 is turned off. Since it is easier to run long low voltage cables than high voltage cables, a simple two conductor wire can be used to trigger the ACC- 3 (and in turn the PCT-8) from a 3-24 Volt AC or DC transformer (the ACC-3 accepts a wide range input trigger) plugged into the Delta-88's Switched AC Outlet.

    Its four AC outlets can be set to switch on independently and depending on how you program the Delta-88, they will engage with a particular room or source. To set the ACC- 48 for your particular system, you must first determine how the ACC-48 is to be used.
  • Page 29 Step 4 - Programming the Delta-88's 9 Pin "D" Connector for Zone Tracking Plug the Delta-88 into an AC outlet. Turn on the Delta-88 by first selecting a room button and then any source button. The Delta-88's "Source Display" will first read "POWER UP" followed by the selected source name.
  • Page 30 Delta-88s front panel. In order for this operation to work the Delta-88 will need to have its 9 pin "D" connector set to track source selection. This is done in software on the Delta-88. Depending on the number of sources on your system, you may need one or two ACC-48s.

    ADA Bus™ components should turn on if properly wired. Note - When a Delta-88 is first turned on (receives AC), it will perform a quick self diagnostic test which lasts a few seconds. All the LEDs will appear to turn on and then off while the room button LED's will scroll through all eight room buttons.

    Repeatedly press the BASS UP button until the source display reads the "MAX ROOM #" for that Delta-88. If you have a Delta-88 with 6 RAM-50 Cards and one VSM-8 Video Switching Card, the max room # should read "MAX ROOM 7". If you passed the correct max room #, you can use the BASS DN button to scroll back to it.

Since each character needs to be individually changed, if you are creating your own labels, it will be easiest to initially select a label that is close to your desired label.

    The primary Delta-88 should connect to the first WH-3000 on the WH-3000's J1 connector. The second Delta-88 can be connected to any port, J3-J10 on the WH-3000. If more than two Delta- 88's are used in any one system, they will need to set up on their own WH-3000 networks as described in "ADA Bus Wiring - Networks".

    If the central system is reprogrammed from the Delta-88 (re-downloading of the Delta-88s programming), the specific local functions you are about to proceed with will be rewritten with the Delta-88's programming for that source. Again, before you proceed to programming a keypad locally, it will be important to clearly know the exact address a source button will need to be set to.

Since a Delta System may be used in the same house with a VS-3 System Titanus (VS-3 is used in its "STAND ALONE" version as a linear {not scrolling} one room home theater switcher), it may be necessary to tell the Delta-88 not to respond to VS-3 REM commands.
