Connecting c-bus devices

Digital Sprite Lite uses the c-bus networking system to allow multiple Digital Sprite
Lites, remote keyboards, alarm modules, video switchers, and other accessories to
be connected together. The total length of the c-bus network can be up to 1500m.
Connecting alarms
An optional alarm module is required if alarms are to be added to Digital Sprite
Lite. The advantage of using alarm modules is that all the alarm connectors do
not have to be routed back to the Digital Sprite Lite. Multiple alarm modules can
be used on the c-bus network with alarms connected to each module.
To add alarms:
• Connect the corresponding alarm contact to the alarm input, i.e. Alarm 2
would be connected between ground (GND) and A2.
• If multiple alarm modules are required then each will need to be addressed;
consult the alarm module documentation for details.
• Connect the c-bus cable from the alarm box to one of the c-bus sockets on
Digital Sprite Lite.
• The polarity of the alarms (normally open/closed) is set using the 'Alarms and
Presets' menu page.
