Redback® A 6514 Two Input Serial Volume Controller
OVERVIEW
This compact module has been designed to alter the volume of any low level signal source feeding any amplifier or mixer
remotely, via RS 232 or RS 485. The unit includes two RCA inputs which are selectable by serial control and remote volume
which is also serial controlled.
The Redback® A 6514 will interface directly to the Redback® A 6500 wallplate or any other third party control system which
utlises RS232 or RS485 serial codes.
Fig 1 shows the layout of the front of the A 6514.
1
24V DC input
Connects to a 24V DC Plugpack with a 2.1mm Jack (Please observe the polarity, centre positive).
2
24V DC Input
Connects to a 24V DC source via a euro block (Please observe the polarity).
3
RJ45 interface
This RJ45 port is for connection to other Redback® compatible devices.
4
RS485 Serial Input
This input takes an RS485 input signal. This can be connected to the RS485 serial output of the Redback® A 6505
or to a third party system. Follow standard RS485 wiring when connecting these terminals.
4
RS232 Serial Input
This input takes an RS232 input signal. This can be connected to the RS232 serial output of the Redback® A 6505
or to a third party system. Follow standard RS232 wiring when connecting these terminals.
6
RJ45 interface
This RJ45 port is for connection to the Redback® A 6500 wall plate.

Summary of Contents for Redback A 6514

  • Page 1 RS 232 or RS 485. The unit includes two RCA inputs which are selectable by serial control and remote volume which is also serial controlled. The Redback® A 6514 will interface directly to the Redback® A 6500 wallplate or any other third party control system which utlises RS232 or RS485 serial codes.
  • Page 2 Either Input 1 or Input 2 can be selected by serial control and the output volume of the Redback® A 6514 can also be set by the serial codes sent to the unit as outlined in the Serial Codes section.
  • Page 3 Cat5e/6 cable which then passes through serial codes to the Redback® A 6514 via the RS485-1 terminals or RS232-1 terminals. The Redback® A 6505 can then control relays, the IR repeater and send serial codes out the second serial port to other equipment.
  • Page 4 The serial data sent has to transmitted at 9600 baud, with the stop bit set to 1, data bits to 8 , parity to none and the format must be ASCII. Note: If the Redback® A 6500 wallplate is being used to send the serial codes, set the delay to 100ms. Function: Setting Output Level The output level can be set to a given level between 0 (Off) and 79 (maximum).
