5 NEXUS AUDIO SYSTEMS C-612 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION Welcome to Nexus Audio Systems and congratulations on your purchase of the C-612 Multi-Zone Controller. The C-612 supports six independently operated zones and infrared (IR) control of four external line level audio source components. Two Audio Input Module Option Bays provide additional source input capability for devices such as ipods and XM Tuners. The C-612 also features a built-in AM/FM Tuner with twenty Channel Presets. Each zone features a solid 50 Watts per channel stereo amplifier for clean, unfatigueing listening. Each of the routed source IR outputs can be set for 38 KHz or 56 KHz output for optimum source control. The unit includes a RS-232 Port that allows the C-612 to be controlled with a touch-screen or easily integrated with other home automation control systems. The Nexus C-612 provides a mute function that can integrate with a doorbell or telephone system to ensure no important call or visitor is ever missed, and audio paging for whole-house voice communication. The system is expandable to 12 zones using two C-612 Controllers. Source power management is referenced to system status with all sources being automatically turned on when the first zone is activated and turned off when the last zone turns off. Programming power management takes only seconds and requires no additional connections or components. The C-612 Keypads provide simple, intuitive control of zone power, source selection, source control, volume, treble and bass and tuner functions. The blue backlit high-resolution keypad LCD indicates zone status, source selection, volume as well as tuner frequency and preset. Zone names, source names and tuner preset names are all configurable in the C-612 Setup and are all displayed on the Keypad LCD. The C-612 features six programmable buttons that can be used for basic device control such as chapter skip, stop or pause for transport devices and tuner up/down or preset up/down for tuners. The keypad features a built-in infrared receiver that can be used with the included R-3 Remote Control or any properly programmed IR remote for additional flexibility and armchair control. The R-3 includes an additional 23 buttons that are programmable by source to include vital source control commands. The Zone Sharing feature allows up to three zones to be linked together for ease of use in common areas that would typically have the same source selected and playing. Zone Sharing includes two modes. One links the zones for power, source and volume, the other has the same source selected in all three zones, but each zone retains independent power and volume control. The Nexus C-612 is a flexible, full-featured multi-zone controller that is easy to install, program and operate. At Nexus that s our goal. To provide you with well thought-out system components that reduce the time spent on-site allowing you more time for managing other important parts of your business such as selling and installing more Nexus Audio Systems!

14 DESIGNING AND INSTALLING A C-612 SYSTEM System Design It is always good to get as much information from the client/user/homeowner as possible when designing a multi-source, multi-zone system. What sources are they going to use? How many zones will be included in the system? Some zones may only require speakers for background music, while other zones may include a TV or video display for movies, sports and news. It s all part of the same system and planning ahead will insure that the system does what the user requires or asks for later. Head End Considerations When planning a whole-house system, for either new or existing construction, always try to find the most convenient location for the system components. Try to find a central location to pull the wire runs to with adequate space for the components and room to work on them. Certainly not the least important consideration should be convenience for the user. Remember: once the system is installed, the user is still going to need to load discs and dock/undock the ipod easy access is essential. For service or upgrading components, an equipment closet with rear access to the components is ideal but not always possible. Consider a pull-out rack mount system if rear access is not possible. Leave plenty of extra wire to be able to easily remove components should they need service or replacing. Zone Considerations Think the system through in terms of how the system will be used. What is the layout of each room? Where will the speakers go? Where will the keypads go? Are there going to be any other system components in the remote zones such as TV s or video displays? Be sure to pull all required cabling and observe all local building and electrical codes. INSTALLATION Controller Location The C-612 should be located at the main termination of all wire and cable runs. The source components (Tuner, CD, DVD, SAT, Music Server, etc) should also be installed at this location. The C-612 and source components can be placed on shelves in a wall unit in a media room, or rack mounted in a standard 19 rack mount system. Always provide convenient access for loading CDs and DVDs. Easy access for service should also be a consideration. Ventilation The C-612 must be placed in a location that allows adequate airflow. Leave at least two inches above and below the unit to allow air to flow freely through the vent holes on the top, bottom and sides. Blocking the vent holes can inhibit airflow and possibly damage the unit. Removing the feet a placing the unit on a shelf or another component will inhibit airflow and is not recommended. Additionally, care should be taken to leave plenty of extra room for wires and cables. Extra wire cramped in around the unit can block side vents and inhibit proper airflow. 14

15 Rack Mounting Figure 7. C-612 Rack Ears Rack Ears (Nexus Part #RK 3.5) are available as an accessory item that can be ordered from Nexus for rack mounting the C-612. The Ears mount behind the C-612 Front Panel as shown in Figure 7. The Ears, when secured to the rack, have the same height as other rack panels and allow use of Middle Atlantic Trim Strips for a clean finish. To attach Rack Ears: 1. Align Rack Ears to the Chassis Screw Holes in the sides of the C-612. Secure with Rack Ears Chassis Screws included with Rack Ears. 2. Secure to rack using appropriate rack mount hardware. NOTE: When rack mounting the C-612 Controller and other system components, it is recommended that one, one rack space vent panel be used above and below the C-612 Controller to provide adequate airflow for cooling. Keypad Location & Mounting The C-612 Keypads should never be mounted in the same J-box with AC house wiring or any other high voltage device such as a light switch. Avoid mounting the keypads in areas with high moisture such as around sinks, bathtubs, showers or outdoor locations that will be exposed to rain or high humidity. Care should also be taken to avoid mounting the keypads in locations that will be exposed to direct sunlight. Sunlight can interfere with the IR sensors on the keypads and interfere with system performance. 15

16 WIRING One of the most important aspects of system design and installation is the wiring infrastructure. When planning the wiring infrastructure, always pull extra wire. In new construction, wires can be damaged during construction, so it is a good idea to use wire with additional conductors in case a nail or staple gets run through a wire. Additionally, even though the system has been designed and contracted based on extensive interviews with the homeowner, things change. The homeowner may decide to add music, video and control to additional rooms long after the walls have been sealed up. In new construction, always pull wire to every room that could ever possibly be added to the system, so when the homeowner decides to add a room, the wire is already in place. Pull speaker and control wires for audio and control as well as coax or other appropriate cable (HDMI over CAT5, etc), for video distribution, even though the C-612 does not switch video and the system will only initially be used for audio sources. Pull each wire or cable to an appropriate location for keypads, speakers and video displays. Terminate with appropriate wall plates or keep a map detailing exactly where the wire runs are terminated in the walls. Always label the wire runs by room and device to assist in installation and troubleshooting. Figure 8. Typical Zone Configuration Keypads Pull CAT-5 in home-runs directly from each keypad location to the C-612 Controller location. Terminate with RJ45 plugs in a pass-through (pin to pin) configuration using the TIA568A Standard pin-out.

RJ45 TIA568A Standard Pin-out 16

17 Speakers Pull four conductor wire in home-runs directly from each speaker location to the C-612 Controller location. WIRE GAUGE: 16AWG stranded up to 75 ; 14AWG stranded up to 100. Non-shielded preferred. NOTE: MAX LOAD: 4 ohms per zone. Do not load more than one pair of 4 ohm speakers per zone. This can cause the unit to go into protection and may possibly blow fuses. Video (Option) Though the C-612 does not switch video signals, video cable should be pulled to allow whole-house video distribution with audio signals routed through the C-612 rather than the TVs for improved audio performance. Pull RG6 coaxial cable in home runs directly from each possible TV or video display location directly to the C-612 Controller location. RG6 quad shield preferred. Coaxial cable length will vary with system design. Terminate with appropriate quality gold-plated connectors. NOTE: Coaxial Cable is appropriate for distributing composite video. If distributing component video or HDMI, there are varying schemes and wire specifications for multiroom high resolution video distribution. (Component video over component cable, component video or HDMI over CAT5/5e/6, etc.) If using a Component Video or HDMI Extender, please refer to appropriate documentation for wire specification. Mute Pull two conductor stranded wire from the 12VDC control output on the device that will trigger audio muting to the C-612 Controller location. Terminate with a 2.1mm coaxial plug on the C-612 end. POLARITY: TIP = +12VDC, SLEEVE = GND. WIRE GAUGE: 20AWG up to 500 ; 18AWG up to Non-shielded preferred. MAX VOLTAGE IN: 32VDC. NOTE: Audio mute function will mute all active zones when 12VDC is present on this input. No additional programming or configuration is required. RS-232 When controlling the C-612 from an external controller such as a whole-house control system or touch panel, use a DB9M (male) cable for the C-612 RS232 Port and terminate the control system or touch screen end as appropriate. NOTE: RS-232 connections should not exceed 50. Figure 10. RS-232 Pin-Out Audio Page Audio Pull quality audio cable from the telephone system line audio or paging output to the C-612 Controller location. Control - Pull two conductor stranded wire from the Contact Closure control output on the device that will trigger Audio Page to the C-612 Controller location. 17

18 CONNECTIONS When connecting source components, or making any connections, be sure that the C-612 Controller and all system devices are turned OFF and disconnected from AC power to prevent electrical shock and to avoid possibly damaging components. HEAD END CONNECTIONS Keypads Using CAT5 cable properly terminated with a RJ45 plug (see section: Wiring/Keypads) connect the zone CAT-5 cable to the appropriate zone terminal on the C-612 rear panel. Speakers 1. Using 14-16AWG two-conductor stranded wire, strip approximately ¼ of insulation from each conductor. Twist the strands until tight. 2. Connect the bare wires to the appropriate L+,L-,R-,R+ terminals on one of the included four-position plug-in connectors. Be sure to maintain proper polarity. Be sure there are no loose strands sticking out that could cause a short. When screwing down the wire clamps, be sure that the wire insulation does not get caught in the clamp. 3. Plug the connector into the appropriate zone speaker terminal. Source Audio Using one quality stereo RCA audio cable with gold connectors for each audio source, connect the left & right audio outputs of each source to the appropriate left & right audio inputs on the C-612 Controller for Sources 1-4. IR Emitters Sources 1-4 Use one of the included IR emitters for each external source component. 1. Plug each emitter into the appropriate source IR output jack (1-4). (If the CD player is source 1, plug the emitter for the CD player into emitter jack 1.) 2. Attach the emitter to the front panel of the device being controlled over the IR eye. If the eye is not obvious, refer to the owner s manual for that product or shine a small flashlight into the front panel to locate the eye. NOTE: IR commands initiated by a C-612 Keypad or R-3 Remote will be routed to the emitter for the selected source. (Commands for Source 1 will only output from emitter 1.) IR pass-through, (IR Commands initiated by the original equipment remote or a programmed remote) will output from all source emitters (but not the 'All" emitter). All Use one of the included emitters or any standard IR emitter with 3.5mm mini-phone plug to control a single common device. (IR controlled lights, drapes, lifts, screens etc.) If there is more than one common device, use a 3.5mm mini-phone plug with pig tail to connect to the IR and ground input terminals on an amplified IR connecting block to drive additional emitters. POLARITY: TIP = SIG; SLEEVE = GND. NOTE: The All output will output IR from any keypad or remote in any zone, but not IR passthrough, (IR Commands initiated by an original equipment hand held remote). Mute Using a properly configured 2.1mm coaxial plug, (see section: Wiring/Mute) connect the 2.1mm coaxial plug to the Mute jack on the C-612 rear panel. Terminate the other end as appropriate and connect to the 12VDC control output terminal on the device used to trigger audio mute.

20 EXPANDED SYSTEMS Two C-612 Controllers can be linked together to expand a C-612 system to up to twelve zones. The fundamental installation and connections are similar to those on a single controller system with a few minor changes. Figure 14. Expanded C-612 System 20

21 Nexlink Connection This connection allows communication between the Master and Slave Controllers for zone/system status, system/source power management, page control, mute control and external common source IR control from the keypads or remotes used in the zones connected to the Slave Controller. Using a RJ11 patch cable configured in a crossover configuration, connect the Nexlink jack on the Master Controller to the Nexlink jack on the Slave Controller. See Figure 15b for construction of cable. NOTE: Two linked C-612 Controllers must be configured for Master/Slave configuration in the Main Menu Master /Slave Setup (Main Menu item 10). IR emitter and mute/page connections are made to the master. Source Audio Source audio must be distributed to both the Master and Slave Controller source inputs to have source audio signals available to all zones. Use either Y adapters or an audio distribution amp to split the line level audio signal from the source outputs to the source audio inputs on both controllers as shown in Figure 14. NOTE: If using an A/V Source an audio/video distribution amp is recommended to split the audio signals to the C-162 Controllers and provide multiple video outs that can be distributed to the zone video displays and maintain proper signal level. IR Emitters The IR Emitter are connected to the Master Controller IR Outputs as done in a single controller system. The Slave Controller will communicate IR control to the Master via the Nexlink connection. See section: Connections/IR Emitters for additional information. Speakers Speakers are connected to the appropriate Master or Slave Zone Speaker Outs as described in section: Connections/Speakers. Mute The Audio Mute control IN is connected to the Master Controller Mute jack as done in a single controller system. The Master Controller will communicate Audio Mute to the Slave Zones via the Nexlink connection. See section: Connections/Mute for additional information. Page Audio Page Audio The audio for paging must be distributed to both the Master and Slave Controller Page Audio inputs to have the Page Audio signals available to all zones. Using quality audio cable, jump the Page Audio terminals on the Master Controller to the Page Audio Terminals on the Slave Controller as shown in Figure 15a. Though polarity from the Page Audio Source to the Master Page Audio IN is not critical, do maintain proper polarity between the Master and Slave Page Audio Terminals. Be sure there are no loose strands sticking out that can cause shorts. Page Control - The Page Audio Control IN is connected to the Master Controller Page Audio Control Terminals as done in a single controller system. The Master Controller will communicate Page control to the Slave via the Nexlink connection. See section: Connections/Page Audio for additional information. 21

23 PROGRAMMING Programming IR Commands C-612 System programming takes only a few minutes and provides power management and basic transport control for the connected sources. Out of the box, the system has default programming for Controller & Zone ON/OFF, Input Select and Volume UP/DOWN so those functions do not require programming. When finished, the buttons on the C-612 Keypads and R-3 will have the same functionality. NOTE 1: IR commands are stored in memory locations in the C-612 Controller that are associated with the keypad and R-3 remote buttons. When a button on a keypad or the R-3 is pressed, the C-612 recognizes the button location and outputs the associated IR command. If programming a universal remote for IR control, the appropriate R-3 button IR commands will need to be learned by the universal remote to trigger system functions and source commands stored in the C-612. NOTE 2: The programmable keypad buttons can only be programmed for single IR commands with the exception of the Power Buttons. The Power buttons can be programmed for two commands, (ON/OFF). If discreet ON/OFF commands are available, teach both as prompted in Learn IR Commands/Source Power Commands. If only Toggle commands are available, teach the toggle command twice as prompted. Macros can be created in a separate programming function. See section: Programming/Macros. Button Mapping All buttons on the C-612 Keypad have matching buttons on the R-3 Remote. These buttons only need to be programmed once, and once programmed, the learned IR commands are available to the keypad and remote. The R-3 has additional buttons, not available to the keypads that can be programmed for source IR control. These IR commands are not learned by the R-3. These commands are learned by the C-612 Controller using the same method as programming the common buttons. Once programmed, when a R-3 button is pressed, the R-3 command will be recognized by the C-612 Controller and the C-612 will then output the associated source IR command via the appropriate source IR Emitter. In Figure 16, the white buttons are programmable for the same IR commands on the C-612 Keypads and R-3 Remote. The gray buttons on the R-3 Remote are only programmable for the R-3. The black buttons are factory default functions and are not programmable. Figure 16. C-612 Keypad and R-3 Remote Button Mapping 23

24 Programming utilizes the R-3 Remote Control, the original manufacturer remotes for the sources to be controlled and requires that the C-612 Controller has AC power. All sources should be connected and have IR emitters attached to test commands. Note: in a master/slave configuration, teach the IR commands into the master only. You may turn off the Slave to void having it responds to commands from the R-3 remote during programming. To program C-612 source control: NOTE: TO NAVIGATE THE SETUP MENUS, USE THE LOWER CURSOR ON THE R-3 REMOTE. Learn IR Codes 1.

USB From time to time Nexus Audio will release firmware updates for the C-612 Controller and Keypads. Sometimes these updates will be improvements to system functionality and sometimes they will be new feature additions. Updating firmware on the C-612 is done with a USB Flash (thumb) Drive. Updates can be obtained by contacting Nexus Audio Systems Inc. The file for the C-612 Controller (if included) will be named C612Vx.xx.bin. The "Vx.xx" denotes the code version. Before copying the file to the flash drive, it must be renamed to C612.bin or the C-612 will not 32

33 recognize it. Similarly, the file for the keypads (if included) will be named C612K1Vx.xx.bin. It will have to be renamed to C612K1.bin, or it will not be recognized by the C-612. The USB flash drive to be used for the upgrade can have other files on it, but if there are a lot of files, the C-612 may take a long time to initialize before the upgrade begins. If the C-612 does not initialize or download the update, delete the extraneous files, or use another flash drive with less or no files on it. Upgrading the C-612 Controller 1. Rename, and copy the file C612.bin to a USB flash drive. 2. Turn off the C Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the C-612 Rear Panel. 4.

35 RS-232 PROTOCOL The C-612 Controller has an RS-232 Port that allows the system to be controlled with a touch screen controller or become a sub-system in a whole-house control package. This allows system operation such as turning on certain zones for background music when the alarm system is deactivated. Conversely, a command can be sent to turn all zones off when the alarm system is activated. The C-612 RS-232 Port allows full control of all system functions. In addition to being able to control the C-612 Controller s on board functions (ON/OFF, input select, etc) RS-232 control also allows control of the connected source components. When the C-612 sees a command for one of the on board functions, it responds accordingly. When it sees a command such as CD play, the incoming RS-232 command is interpreted in a similar manner to a keypad button press and the C-612 will then output the appropriate corresponding IR command. The RS-232 Port on the C-612 is a DB9 female jack. Tx (transmit) = PIN 2, Rx (receive) = PIN 3, Ground = PIN 5. Communication settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Figure 45. RS-232 Port Pin Out Baud Rate Parity None Data Bits 8 bits Stop Bits 1 Flow Control None Each command must be terminated with a carriage return: <cr>. A carriage return is a single, nonprintable character with a hexadecimal value of 0x0D, or decimal 13. This character is represented in this document by the string <cr> If an invalid command is sent, the C-612 will respond with ERR<cr>. If a valid command is sent, the C-612 will respond with OK<cr> unless it is a query type command, in which case the C-612 will respond with information terminated with <cr>. Every response from the C-612 is terminated with a carriage return. The C-612 sends out unsolicited information whenever a keypad is operated. The syntax is the same as that used for controlling the C-612. The information will be terminated with <cr>. The RS-232 commands for the Nexus C-612 are outlined in a separate document titled "Nexus C-612 RS-232 protocol". Please contact Nexus Audio Systems Inc. for a copy of this document. 35

36 OPTION BAYS On the back of the C-612 are two option bays. Looking at the back of the unit, the bay on the left is tied to input 5, and the bay on the right is tied to input 6. See figure 46. Slot 1 = Input 5 Slot 2 = Input 6 Figure 46. C-612 option bays. There are two types of module available: 1. An ipod dock adapter module. This module enables connection of an ipod dock to the C-612. See figure to right. 2. An audio input module. This module enables the addition of extra audio inputs on the C-612. See figure to right. MODULE INSTALLATION The installation of modules in the C-612 is the same regardless of which module is being installed: 1. Turn off the C-612 and unplug the unit from the mains. NOTE: failure to follow this step may result in injury. 2. Remove the cover of the C-612 by removing the thirteen screws holding it in place. Set the cover and the screws aside. 3. Remove the cover plate from the option bay in which you want to install a module. The two screws will be re-used to secure the module being installed. 4. Gently insert the option module through the opening in the back of the C-612, and secure it using the two screws saved from the cover plate. 5. Inside the C-612 you will see a grey ribbon cable coming from the just installed module with a black connector on the end of it. Gently push this connector into the socket directly below it on the large circuit board. 6. If you have another module to install, do it now using the same procedure. 7. Re-install the cover. Make sure all screws are accounted for, and none have made their way inside the unit. 8. Make all the required connections to the installed module(s), then plug the C-612 in and turn it on. 36

37 CONNECTING AN IPOD DOCK Please refer to figure 47 when connecting one or more ipod docks to a C-612. No audio connections need to be made, as audio is transfered through the DATA I/O cable. When connecting more than one ipod dock, it is important that the address switches on the rear of the ipod docks are set differently. Using a small screwdriver, set the address on ipod dock #1 to 0, and set the address on ipod dock #2 to 1. Figure 47. ipod dock connections Please refer to Figure 48 when connecting one or more ipod docks on a stacked system. The master has ipod modules installed, and the slave has audio input modules installed. Audio is passed from master to slave through the use of RCA patch cords. As in the single chassis system above, each ipod dock needs a unique address. Using a small screwdriver, set the address on ipod dock #1 to 0, and set the address on ipod dock #2 to 1. Figure 48. ipod docks on a stacked system Using the configuration shown in Figure 48, audio and control of the ipod docks is available from all twelve zones in the system. Some points to remember when setting up a stacked system; Make sure that the Master unit is setup to be a master in the menu settings, and the Slave is setup to be a slave. See the section on MASTER/SLAVE on page 34. Also, in order for the ipod docks to work across all twelve 37

38 zones, make sure that the ipod inputs are named the same on the master and slave. For example, if input 5 (ipod dock #1) is named "ipod 1" on the master, then it should also be named "ipod 1" on the slave. Same goes for input 6 (ipod dock #2), it could be named "ipod 2" on both chassis. Please see SOURCE NAMING on page 27.
