Overview
The Russound
A-LC3
is
an
in-wall local source
input
mod-
ule used
with
A-BUS· hubs and controllers in a distributed
audio system.
An
A-LC3
in a room lets a local source or
portable audio component be heard over the room's
speakers independently from other rooms in
the
A-BUS
system.
The
A-LC3
connects between the
A-BUS
hub/controller
and
an
A-BUS
amplified keypad
via
CAT-5
cable. The
A-
LC3
automatically selects between
an
independent local
source
(e.g.,
portable
CD
player) and the source
of
an
A-BUS
system. It
can
be used
with
both single- and multi-
source
A-BUS
hubs/controllers.

8 Installation
Check all connections and test
the
system's operation
before installing the
A-LC3
into
the
wall. Using
the
included hardware, install
the
A-LC3
into
a standard ULI
CSA
single-gang electrical J-box.

Auto
ON/OFF
with
A-K5L
The
A-LC3
allows a local source
to
play
through
that
room's speakers, instead
of
what's playing
on
the main
source, and its volume
is
controlled using
that
room's
amplified keypad.
When
the
local source
is
activated,
the
A-LC3
automatically turns
ON
(if
it
is
OFF)
the
A-K5L
keypad
in the zone.
Ifthe
keypad
is
on,
when
the
local source
becomes active
it
overrides the main source audio in
that
room, and when inactive, returns
the
room
to
the
main
source audio.
When the
A-LC3
is
active
with
the
A-K5L keypad,
the
local source will
turn
the
keypad
ON
to
a
preprogrammed volume. This value (LsVol)
is
set in
the
A-K5L
programming menu.
The
A-K5L
LCD
screen displays
"Ls
On"
to
indicate the
local source
has
turned
the
zone on.
If
the
keypad
is
turned
off
but
the
local source
input
is
still active, the
keypad returns
to
the
"Ls
On" state.
When the
A-LC3
loses the signal (no audio present on
the
line level inputs),
the
A-LC3
turns
off
the
A-K5L.
The
zone status
LED
remains
lit
until
the
A-K5L
is
power
cycled.

4
Adjustment
for
Switching
Delay
The rotary

potentiometer
provides adjustment
of

takes
to

is
no longer detected. Fully
counter-clockwise
is
the
lowest level; turn

until

Adjustment
for
Switching
Sensitivity
The rotary

potentiometer
provides adjustment
of

the level
of
signal
that
must
be present before the
A-LC3
will switch from
the
main source
to
the
local source. Fully
counter-clockwise
is
the
lowest level; turn
the

clockwise until switching occurs.

RJ45
Connector
for
CAT-5
(Keypad)
The
RJ45
"Keypad"
input
provides a connection
for
the
CAT-5
cable
to
the
amplified keypad.
Use
the T568A
wiring standard. The recommended maximum
length
for standard
CAT-5
cable
is
150 feet. Before connecting
the
A-LC3,
disconnect
the
power
supply from
the
A-BUS

the

supply
if
used.
5
Sensitivity
and
Switching
Delay
LED
The green
LED
indicator next
to
the
sensitivity
adjustment control helps the installer set the levels
during installation.
When
the
A-LC3
is
powered
by
the
hub/controller
(through
RJ45
connection),
the
LED
flashes three times
to
confirm
hub
connection. This takes
1.5
seconds,
during which
time
the
local source will
not
be looking
for external audio. After this period, normal operation
is
initiated, and
if
any external audio
is
sensed
it
will be
routed
to
keypads. This short power-up delay also allows
A-K5L
keypads
to
properly
boot
up.
It
is
important
not
to
send any codes
to
it
before
it
is
fUlly on-line,
as
the
system could
go
out
of
sync.
The
LED
turns on
when
the
A-LC3
switches
to
the
local
source input.
Use
the
sensitiVity adjustment
with
local
source audio present
until
the
LED
is
just
above steady
ON,
then turn the sensitivity adjustment and additional
1/8th turn.

Adjustment
for
Switching
Delay
The rotary
trim
potentiometer
provides adjustment
of
source switching delay. This adjustment determines
the
time
it
takes
to
return
to
the
main source after
the
local source signal
is
no longer detected. Fully
counter-clockwise
is
the
lowest level; turn
the
trim
screw
clockwise
until
switching occurs.

Adjustment
for

Sensitivity
The rotary

the level
of
signal
that
must
be present before the
A-LC3
will switch from
the

RJ45
Connector
for
CAT-5
(Keypad)
The
RJ45
"Keypad"
input
provides a connection
for
the
CAT-5
cable
to
the
amplified keypad.
Use
the T568A
wiring standard. The recommended maximum
length
for standard
CAT-5
cable
is
150 feet. Before connecting
the
A-LC3,
disconnect
the
power
supply from
the
A-BUS
hub/controller and disconnect
the

supply
if
used.

Sensitivity
and
Switching
Delay
LED
The green
LED
indicator next
to
the
sensitivity
adjustment control helps the installer set the levels
during installation.
When
the
A-LC3
is
powered
by
the
hub/controller
(through
RJ45
connection),
the
LED
flashes three times
to
confirm
hub
connection. This takes
1.5
seconds,
during which
time
the
local source will
not
be looking
for external audio. After this period, normal operation
is
initiated, and
if
any external audio
is
sensed
it
will be
routed
to
keypads. This short power-up delay also allows
A-K5L
keypads
to
properly
boot
up.
It
is
important
not
to
send any codes
to
it
before
it
is
fUlly on-line,
as
the
system could
go
out
of
sync.
The
LED
turns on
when
the
A-LC3
switches
to
the
local
source input.
Use
the
sensitiVity adjustment
with
local
source audio present
until
the
LED
is
just
above steady
ON,
then turn the sensitivity adjustment and additional
1/8th turn.
