Installation

You may wish to consult with a qualified custom electronics installer if you are inexperienced with UTP wiring

and cable termination. You should be familiar with Cat 5e/6 cable termination tools, techniques, testing, and

wire routing principles.

1. Assembling Expanders. Follow these steps if you are installing Models 1172BK, 1176BK or other ex-

panders with your AVAtrix. Refer to the diagram on the facing page. Otherwise, skip to Step 3.

All video, audio, and communication signals between sources, Cat 5 outputs, and audio system outputs

travel through the special ribbon bus cable. The AVAtrix normally ships with a 4-port bus cable, leaving

two open ports for expanders. If you need to add more than two expanders, order AVM-562E or call Audio

Authority Technical Support.

AVAtrix opening screen shows expanders recognized.

a. Lay the Model AVM-562 upside down on a protective

surface, such as a terry cloth towel.

b. Remove the four feet and the bus access covers (save

them and their attaching screws).

c. Gently feed the loose end of the bus cable out of the

bus access opening.

d. Plug the next connector into the port visible through the

expander case opening—apply enough pressure with

fingers or a plastic tool to assure that the plug is com-

pletely seated.

e. Turn the next product to be stacked upside down

(e.g. Model 1172BK or 1176BK), thread the bus cable

through its bus access openings, and engage its four

threaded studs with the four threaded holes in the

Model AVM-562 formerly occupied by the feet.

f. Tighten the hex head screws in the bottom of the stack-

ing product in sequence a few turns each, until they are

all snug.

g. Carefully plug the ribbon cable into the bus port. Con-

tinue this stacking procedure until all units have been

assembled. View the bus through the

bus port to be sure all plugs are fully

seated.

h. After plugging the last connector of the

bus into the bottom unit, carefully tuck

any excess cable into the empty space

inside the last unit. Be certain the back

of the connector does not contact the

metal case. To disconnect a bus plug,

squeeze the side latches.

i. Install the bus port cover and feet you

removed from Model AVM-562 onto the

bottom unit and turn the stack right side

up.
