  • Page 13: Connecting The Px-700S

    The PX-700s communicate with each other via the RS-485 bus. Use one or more KPT Keypad Termination Boards for each PX-700, depending on the total number of keypads and other Audioaccess equipment in the System. Once all the equipment is terminated, parallel the Data 1, Data 2 and GND (ground) conductors of each KPT together.

  • Page 16: Audio

    QUICK START GUIDE ➤ Audio To connect audio sources, use regular RCA cables to connect sources to the left and right S jacks on the rear panel of the first PX-700. With OURCE additional RCA cables, connect the S jacks to the S OURCE OURCE jacks of the next PX-700.

  • Page 17: Paging

    QUICK START GUIDE Paging ➤ To connect a Page/Doorbell Module to a multi PX-700 system, parallel the Mute Out from the PDM to the Page Trigger of each PX-700. To parallel the Page Trigger, use a two-way " mono mini plug splitter or "Y" adapter (available at most electronic supply shops) and an extra mini plug to mini plug cable to connect each additional PX-700.

  • Page 19: Physical Installation

    PX-700 needs to power up equipment in a known AC Power state when the Audioaccess Installation comes on. In addition, when the source equipment is shared with another audio system, the PX-700 needs to control the equipment status so that it does not stop transports or power off equipment in use by the other audio system (refer to Switched Outlet on page 3.14).

  • Page 20: Wiring Information

    RS-485 bus on the PX-700 be rated Class II and surface marked VW-1. Wiring Information ➤ In addition to audio switching and routing, Audioaccess Installations are data network control systems that operate in a similar fashion to an office computer network. Consistent polarity and termination of the Audioaccess RS-485 bus is the most critical element in a reliable and problem-free Installation.

    KPT in addition to a jumper to the PX-700. The KPT may be mounted in any location between the PX-700, other Audioaccess equipment, and the keypads. We recommend that it be easily accessible. The KPT is useful when troubleshooting, since individual lines may be tested by unplugging all but the one in question.

  • Page 22: Kps Wiring

    PHYSICAL INSTALLATION In multiple PX-700 Installations, each PX-700 in the Installation should have a dedicated KPT so that the keypads are not all powered from the same unit (see Examples A and B on pages 2.4–2.5). KPS Wiring The wiring code (Power, Data 1, Data 2, and Ground) is shown on both the back plate of each keypad and on the rear panel of the PX-700.

  • Page 24: Length Of Atc Cable Runs

    PHYSICAL INSTALLATION Length of ATC ➤ The resistance of the cable and the voltage of the power supply to the ATC determine the maximum cable length. The ATC requires a minimum of Cable Runs 8VDC at the ATC. The PX-700 supplies 10VDC from the RS-485 bus. This means that up to 2 volts can be dropped due to the resistance of the cable.

  • Page 25: At The Atc Rs-232 Interface Board

    NOTE: Replace this fuse only with the correct type and rating. The ATC and KPS ➤ The IR receiver on Audioaccess keypads is NOT an IR repeater. A repeater takes any IR signal (light), converts it to electrical signals and sends it down a IR Receivers wire.

  • Page 26: Setting The Keypad Dip Switches

    Please see the ATC Installation manual for instructions. Setting the ➤ Audioaccess KPS keypads have a set of 10 DIP address switches. The first Keypad DIP eight of these switches assign each keypad to a specific Zone, Room and System Code.

  • Page 27: System Switches

    PHYSICAL INSTALLATION System Switches For a single PX-700 Installation, the System Code should be set to “1” (switch 5 up). In a multi PX-700 system, the System Code on the keypads must be set to the System Code of the corresponding PX-700. The System Code switches have these values: switch 5=1, switch 6=2, and switch 7=4.

    PHYSICAL INSTALLATION DIP Switch Settings for IR Switch #9 controls the keypad IR receiver. In the “down” position it is in the “up” position it is . When a keypad is mounted outdoors, in a bright, sunny room or within 4" of a manually operated light dimmer, the IR receiver should be turned off.

  • Page 29: Expansion Outputs (Fixed)

    PHYSICAL INSTALLATION Expansion Outputs (Fixed) These are secondary, fixed, unity gain outputs for each Zone which are specifically designed for connection to an MA-361 Twelve Channel Digital Amplifier with up to six EM-401 Volume/Tone Control Modules or a PX-603 Multi-Room Expander. Up to three Expansion Rooms may be added to any Zone.

  • Page 30: Zone Triggers (1-6)

    Use the Trigger In when sharing sources because the PX-700 needs to power up equipment in a known state when the Audioaccess Installation comes on. In addition, when the source equipment is shared with another audio system, the PX-700 needs to control the equipment status so that it doesn’t stop transports or...

    System 1 only. Page Trigger Use the Page (PDM) Trigger with the Audioaccess Page/Doorbell Module or other paging system. When this jack is shorted, all Zones programmed to receive paging and doorbell signals switch to the Page In until the jack is un-shorted.

  • Page 32: Rs-232 Port

    PHYSICAL INSTALLATION RS-232 Port This port enables direct connection of other RS-232 command systems to the PX-700 or connection to a PC for IR and system programming. The programming port is replicated with a mini-jack on the front panel. When the front panel PC Link is in use, the rear panel connector is inactive.
