Page 9: Planning Your System
The MCU is compact and can be mounted either horizontally, or vertically, such as on a wall, and is powered by a dedicated power supply (Octopus PSA65U). Try to ensure that the MCU and it’s source components are powered from the same set of mains outlets. - Page 10 VSU300 Video Switching Unit The VSU300 video switching unit works in conjunction with the MCU to provide video signals to all connected zones, via RG6/CT100 co-axial cabling. Up to 6 video input sources and a CCTV input may be connected and distributed, with their corresponding audio signals routed through the MCU as one of it's dedicated 6 inputs.
- Page 11 CS165CC Loudspeakers When placing the ceiling-mounted speakers, thought should be given to positions which give the best desired sound coverage throughout a room, while not interfering with existing or planned light fittings or joists. It is advisable to plan all aspects of installation in advance of work beginning, preferably with the house/flat building schematics if available.

Page 12: First Fix Intructions
First fix instructions I I N N S S T T A A L L L L A A T T I I O O N N N N O O T T E E S S Please read all of these installation notes before commencing. MCU100/300 Master Control Unit Fix to a hard surface such as a cupboard surface, not to carpet or a soft-lined surface, as this will inhibit airflow through the unit. - Page 13 Wiring to zones Run a Cat5e cable from the MCU to each wall control unit. Fit a single-gang 47mm (or deeper) back box for each WCU310. Use a fixed backbox as drywall backboxes are not recommended. Run two standard speaker cables from the WCU310 to mounted loudspeakers. If video is required, run CT100/RG6 Co-axial cable from the VSU300 main zone connection either directly to the video display, or to a wall-mounted panel fitted with a suitable co-axial connector.

The WCU310-EU-ST should be fitted into an Opus BB60 (60mm) deep back-box The WCU310-CU should be fitted into a standard single US J-box. The Cat5 cable running from the Master Control Unit is terminated at the 8-way colour-coded punch down connection on the rear face of the WCU310.

- Page 17 CS165CC In-ceiling Loudspeakers Standard installation would specify CS165-CC ceiling mounted speakers which are matched to the Octopus system for optimum audio performance. However, virtually any customer-specified speaker units may be used. Where ceiling or wall-mounted speakers are used, care should be taken to ensure that all building regulations are followed.

Page 35: Faqs
2.What entertainment equipment can I connect? The Octopus system is compatible with almost any type of hi-fi or video separate. 3.What is the difference between a main zone and a sub-zone? A sub-zone can only listen to the same audio source as is being listened to in the main zone. - Page 36 Any type of Cat5e can be used. 6.Do I have to use Octopus speakers? No, but it is highly recommended as the Octopus speakers are optimised and impedance matched to the keypad amplifiers. 7.How many remote controls can the system have? There is no limit to the amount of remotes you can have.
