Page 3: Suite 16 Modules
Suite 16 Modules Suite 16 is appropriately named as it is a system that is built using a suite of modules and components. These modules and other components allow extraordinary flexibility in the de- sign of a distributed entertainment system. This section will focus on the three modules that are inserted into the Suite 16 Multi-Room (MR) Controller Chassis, the AVP-16.
Page 4: A-16 Audio Input Module
To compensate for varying output levels between source components, the Suite 16 System permits a different input level for each of the sixteen audio inputs. This feature is set in software.

Page 6: Pp-1200 Phono-Preamplifer
If you still enjoy playing records, there is no reason not to be able to access them through your whole-house Suite 16 System. Most turntable use a moving-magnet cartridge which requires special preamplification. The PP-1200 Phono Preamplifier provides this preamplification and permits the connection of a phonograph to the Suite 16.

Page 8 The ACC-48 features jumper pins (shunting pins) that determine which sources the outlet will activate with. Several jumper pins can be inserted for any one outlet. In the case of the Trinity Triple Tuner, the Trinity has only one AC cord, even though it acts like three components to the system.
Page 9: Paging Features
(This will remove the page for only that room. If other rooms are part of this paging group, they will still page through.). Resetting power to the Suite 16, will also reset all paging triggers to standby.
Page 10: Preamplifier Module
The P-16 Preamplifier Module is the most advanced stereo preamplifier for multi-room use. With special attention placed on the sound quality of the Suite 16 System, the P-16 has a host of features that are ideal for custom installation. The first AVP-16 can house one or two P- 16’s for up to 32 zones.
Page 11 Volume and Tone Presets Each zone has four volume and four tone presets. Each of these eight presets has a serial command to store the settings and another to recall these settings. The tone presets recall and store both a bass and treble level as well as Loudness and Stereo Enhancement filter settings.
Page 12 (all previously mentioned preamplifier features). This is extremely useful when desiring to include home theater systems or recording devices onto a Suite 16. Nor- mally, the P-16s are inserted into an AVP-16 where zones 1-12 are set to variable (for multi-...
Page 13: Power Amplifier Options
Low Voltage Triggers The P-16 features three low voltage trigger outputs: two 9-pin “D” Zones 1- 6 & 7-12 type connectors (these are not RS-232) and one removable five-pin nes 1-6 screw terminal connector. The top 9-pin “D” connector provides a single ground pin and six pins that go to +12VDC individually with respect to zones 1-6.

Page 15 The diagram below shows that zones 1-6 are running on medium power using a PTM-1225, while zones 7-12 are running on high power using the PTM-1260 (as a six zone/twelve chan- nel amplifier - unbridged). When duplicating this scenario, it does not matter whether the PTM-1260 is running zones 1-6 or 7-12.
Page 16 If zones require ultra-high power amplification, ADA suggests using PF-2501 Power Amplifi- ers (250W/Ch @ 8Ω, 450W/Ch @ 4Ω, stable to 2Ω) along with an ACC-3 AC Controller. If zones require driving a great many speakers (up to sixteen pairs @ 8Ω), ADA suggests using a PF-201 (60W/Ch @ 8Ω, 240W/Ch @ 1/2Ω) along with an ACC-3 AC Controller.
Page 17: Home Theater (Or Recording) Set Up
When working with home theater preamplifiers, whether they are in the form of an AV receiver or separate preamplifier and amplifier, you can assign a Suite 16 zone output to the theater room. As such, the theater preamplifier can play the same components that are playing through the rest of the home.
Page 18: Amp Trigger Jumping On 9-Pin D Connectors
Amp Trigger Jumping on 9-Pin D Connectors When more than just a few zones require greater power, several ADA amplifiers options exist including the PTM-6150 (6 x 150W/Ch @ 8Ω, 250W/Ch @ 4Ω, stable to 2Ω), PTM-8150 (8 x 150W/Ch @ 8Ω, 250W/Ch @ 4Ω, stable to 2Ω), and PTM-1260 (operating in bridged mode - 6 x 175W/Ch @ 8Ω, 350W/Ch @ 4Ω, stable to 4Ω).
Page 19: V-16 Video Switching Module
V-16 Video Switching Module The V-16 Video Switching Module expands Suite 16’s distribution capabilities to include com- posite video as well as audio routing. Much like the P-16 Modules, the V-16 can be used in multiples for up to 96 zones of video switching (up to six V-16 Modules).
Page 20 Programmed Video Triggers The V-16 also features five programmed triggers. The removable 5-pin screw terminal connector features ground (-) on pin 1, and 3- V-16 • Video I/O Module 24V AC or DC input voltage sensing triggers on pins 2-5. These are Programmed Video 8/16 Input Triggers...
Page 21: Avp-16 Baud Rate, Zone, & Paging Settings
AVP-16 Baud Rate, Zone, & Paging Settings The AVP-16 front panel is remarkably void of clutter. In addition to the main power switch, the front panel RS-232 I/O, there is only a smoked plexiglass plate through which several LEDs are visible. During setup, this plate may need to be removed to access options for the A-16, P-16 or V-16 modules.
Page 22 The compression slope trim pot is used to compress the paging audio input signal. This feature will prevent an input signal that is too high from being broadcast at that level. While each room has its own paging volume level to prevent speaker overdrive, the compression slope adjustment is used to prevent the input signal from being distorted.
Page 23: Avp-16 Configuration Options
AVP-16 Configuration Options The AVP-16 is the Suite 16 chassis that can house up to three cards. As both the A-16, P-16, and V-16 are designed to be interchangeable, here are some options regarding configuration of the primary AVP-16. Basic Setup - One A-16 and One P-16 This configuration is the most basic of all Suite 16 options in which 16 audio components are routed to 16 audio zones.
Page 24: Matrix Switching - S-Video, Component, Or Rgbhv
Suite-16 V-16 Video Module may be set up as a slave card. This is useful for S-Video (Y & C), component video (Y, Cr, Cb), or HDTV video (RGBHV) switching. Fur- thermore, because of the Suite-16s value, configuration of a Suite 16 for matrix switching is extremely competitive.
Page 25 17-32 for the matrix switcher. As such, you could connect the Suite-16 audio video system running 16 zones with composite video (addressed for rooms 1-16) and the 16 x 16 component video matrix Suite 16 (set to room address 17-32) on the same ADA Bus network without conflict.

Page 27: Avp-16 Slave-Unit Setup
AVP-16 Slave-Unit Setup When connecting more than one AVP-16 chassis together, the first chassis is considered the Main Unit and all other chassis are considered Slave Units. The importance here is that the Main Unit will become the one unit with a master turn-on switch. It will also be the chassis to house the A-16 module.
Page 28: Avp-16 Main & Slave Unit Power-On Setup
AVP-16 Main & Slave Unit Power-On Setup During initial power up sequencing of multiple AVP-16s, it is important that all chassis initialize together in one step. That is why the system needs to have the AC wired were the first Slave Unit is plugged into the switched AC outlet of the Main Unit and all subsequent Slave Units derive power from the previous Slave Unit’s switched AC outlet.
Page 29: Avp-16 Ada Bus & Control Wiring
AVP-16 ADA Bus & Control Wiring Suite 16 without other ADA components or Keypads If you are controlling just an ADA Suite 16 from a non-ADA control interface (i.e. touch screen control system), you can connect directly to the Suite-16’s rear panel RS-232 jack. Please note, that the front panel and rear panel jacks are in parallel and as such, only one can be used at any one time.

IRT-232. The IRT-232 connects to your PC and features an IR Transceiver. When using the Suite 16 Tester program and an IRT-232, you IRT-232 can generate most any Suite 16 command in IR form. Again, it is important to RS-232 I NFRARED RANSCEIVER remember that all commands are room specific and emit at 1200 baud.
Page 33: Rf Control
RF Control ADA provides an RF control option for Suite 16 Systems operat- ing at either 1200 baud or 19200 baud. This involves using a RFT-3000 single RFT-3000 RF Transceiver per system. The keypads that can be controlled via RF include the MC-5000, MC-3000, MC- 3800, MC-3000 OD, and MC-3800 OD.
Page 34 In the diagram below, you can see that it is possible to mix and match keypads that are both hardwired, hardwired for power but running on RF for control and feedback, or completely wireless using an AC transformer. Only one RFT-3000 is required per system. Trinity Triple Tuner This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Page 49: Rs-232 Connections For Pc' S & Control Systems
The Suite-16 Tester program is most useful for system set up. In most cases, you will need to use a PC to fully access all the feature sets of Suite 16. As such, this program and its ability to connect to the AVP-16 is essential.
Page 50: Keypad Uploader Program (Mc-5Ks Uploader)
Keypad Uploader Program (MC-5KS Uploader) ADA’s MC-5KS Uploader program is designed to speed you through the process of program- ming keypad button input links, source control links, and source labels. Furthermore, you can retain a saved version of the project as a “.5KS” file type, permitting you to open the setup parameter file at future times.
Page 51 Begin by labeling your inputs. Select an input label, by default labeled 1 through 16, which will then be outlined in blue. You can label each source with only 11 characters. - 50 -...
Page 52 Now select the Source button representative of the eight source buttons on ADA keypads and assign a Suite 16 Input to it. Determine if the keypad button is a normal input or if it will activate a Suite 16 Party Group. Finally, assign the source control option, in this example Trinity Tuner, Module 1.
Page 53 For sources that are controlled by the IRL-5000, you can assign both an address and port. For the Special CD option, to control and get feedback from the Aquarius Hard Drive Server, select the source button and assign a Special CD Address. For sources that are controlled by the LVI-388 Low Voltage Relay device, assign as below.
Page 54 Once you have the customer’s MC-5000 configuration established, you can opt to save it as a “.5KS” file type. As such you can reload these settings at a later time. Under File, select Save As and enter a customer name with the “5KS” suffix and press save. To upload the settings to the MC-5000 keypads, simply press the UPLOAD ALL button.
Page 55: Suite 16 Testing & Program
Suite 16 Testing & Program ADA has developed a fully functional PC program for the Suite-16 System, the Suite-16 Test- ing & Programming Software. Using this application, you can control a complete Suite-16 System. This program is also ideal for setting up a Suite-16 System, permitting you to make use of all the system features.
Page 56 Room Control Page Under the Room Control tab, you can set and control all of the audio parameters specific to that room. Begin by selecting a room number using the pull-down room window. To update the PC’s display with this room’s status, you will need to press the little square (orange/red) located in the lower left-hand corner of this window.
Page 57 Input Selection There are several ways to select a source. You can simply use the input up or input down buttons. You can also directly access inputs numerically. If a room is off or if the system in all off, those buttons will be depressed.
Page 58 Volume Control Volume is controlled in two ways, there is the volume up and down commands which will raise and lower volume levels over a range with 40 values (0-40). You can also do a volume direct command which enters a value using the slider control.
Page 59 Party Grouping Party Grouping delivers to the Suite 16 System two functional features. There are a total of four party groups. Much like a room has command sets for selection of input 1, input 2,...,in- put 16, each party group also has an input selection command set for input 1, input 2,...,input 16.
Page 60 Global Room Control Page The global room control tab features both party group and paging triggers as well as the input level trim controls.. The red button in the lower right hand corner is the update informa- tion request button. Input Level Trim Adjustment The trim level adjustment can lower the input of level of a source component.
Page 61 To reset paging for the entire system other than by issuing a serial control to do so, you will need to reset the system by turning the master power switch off on the front of the Suite 16. - 60 -...
Page 62 The reason for this is simple. If a room has no video display of any type connected to the Suite 16, its room output can be used to drive another video device that is not room specific. For example, if room 3 physically has no TV, and room 4 has both a TV and a video capable touch screen, then the room 3 output can be used to drive video to the touch screen, while the room 4 output can be set to video-follow-audio.
Page 63 The video trigger setup tab incorporates the feature sets that determine what events occur when one of the four video triggers is activated. Here, the surveillance feature set of Suite 16 becomes obvious. To update this page, press the red box in the lower left hand corner of the window.

Page 82: Suite 16 Video Card V1.1 Or V1.2 Protocal Explanation
The character echo command is useful when data is to be sent from one remote control device to another. Normally a remote control device can only send data to the Suite 16 unit to request a function. For specialized functions such as label copying, the character echo com- mand can be utilized.
Page 83 VIDEO FOLLOWING AUDIO/INDEPENDANT VIDEO has feedback This function is assignable for every input in any given room. That way if only a few of the inputs are video components only those set will follow audio selections. If following is set for any input in a room, the remaining inputs not set to follow will turn off the room video output when selected.
Page 84 VIDEO TRIGGER DWELL TIME has feedback This serial command globally sets the dwell time. Dwell time is the interval that a video input selection remains on until it switches to the next in sequence. Range is 1-60 seconds. Code examples ‘SDWELG05<cr>...
