Russound Switch A H1 User Guide

A-H1 OVERVIEW  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING AND USING RUSSOUND® MODEL A-H1. REFER TO THE DIAGRAMS INSIDE.  
The A-H1 is an A-BUS Audio Interface Hub that provides an inter-  
face for audio, status, voltage and infrared between the source  
equipment and the A-H4P A-BUS hub (cannot be used with the A-  
H4D). The A-H1 can interface a stereo receiver to an A-BUS system  
using the A-H4P.

Note: When making all connections, be sure that the power supply  
is not connected.  
Although the A-H1 has only 1 audio input, it can be connected to  
multiple audio sources via the Tape 2 or Zone 2 output of a stereo or  
home theater receiver. Connecting to a receiver gives the A-H1 access  
to any audio source connected to that receiver. Alternately, a single  
audio source can be connected directly to the A-H1.

A-H1 KEY FEATURES  
The A-H1 must be connected to the Link In connector on the  
A-H4P or other A-BUS ready product or hub. Connect the hub out-  
put to an RJ-45 wall plate. Wire the RJ-45 for the T568A standard  
using CAT-5 conductor wire. When using pre-made CAT-5 RJ-45  
patch cables, be sure they are straight through and do not swap  
conductor pairs.

A-BUS® SYSTEM OVERVIEW  
The product you have just purchased is an integral part of the Russound  
A-BUS Multi-Room Audio System. It is a component which, when combined  
with other essential components and your source equipment (receiver, CD play-  
er, etc.), creates a versatile whole-house audio system that will fill your rooms  
with high-quality sound for years to come.  
2) 4 common IR outputs, with confirmation LED

INDICATORS  
5) Compact size for mounting near audio equipment  
POWER - The Power LED will be illuminated when the 24VDC  
power supply attached to the A-H4P is on.  
Run the CAT-5 from the rear of the wall plate to the structured  
wiring panel and then to the A-H4P. Use the following color code  
markings to connect the CAT-5 to the Input 110 punchdown con-  
nector on the A-H4P. (Use a punchdown tool with a 110 blade to  
insert conductors).  
A-BUS technology is a new, innovative method of providing high quality audio  
to remote locations with a single 8-conductor cable such as CAT-5. A-BUS  
technology provides many advantages over other methods of audio distribu-  
tion, including: simple, single CAT-5 wiring scheme; infrared control of system  
components; infrared control of the optional A-KP2 amplified keypad module;  
and system power status.

STATUS INDICATOR - The Status Indicator will be illuminated when  
12VDC is present at the Status Input connector, indicating the  
source equipment is on.

IR - The red LED will flash when IR signals are received by the  
A-BUS keypads. This is used to confirm IR reception from the  
A-H4P.

1. A-BUS Amplified Modules: The Module contains both the amplifier for the  
room’s speakers as well as the control for those speakers. One Module  
should be used for each room you choose to control. The Russound A-KP2  
Amplified Keypad (with built-in IR receiver) and A-VC Amplified Volume  
Control are examples of A-BUS Amplified Modules.

2. A-BUS Hubs: All components of the A-BUS system must be wired centrally  
to a Hub located near your source equipment. The Hub provides the con-  
nection for source equipment, volume controls, infrared emitters and power  
supply. The A-H484, A-H4, A-H4P, and A-H2 are examples of A-BUS Hubs.  
LIMITED WARRANTY  
Run the CAT-5 from each of the A-BUS keypad modules to the  
structured wiring panel. Follow the above color code and punch  
down the CAT-5 for each keypad output 110 punchdown  
connector.  
The Russound A-H1 is fully guaranteed for two (2) years from the date of pur-  
chase against all defects in materials and workmanship. For this warranty to  
apply, the unit must be installed and used according to its written instructions.  
During this period, Russound will replace any defective parts and correct any  
defect in workmanship without charge for either parts or labor. Accidental dam-  
age and shipping damage are not considered defects under the terms of this  
warranty. Russound assumes no responsibility for defects resulting from abuse or  
servicing performed by an agency or person not specifically authorized in writ-  
ing by Russound. If service is necessary, it must be performed by Russound.  
Damage to or destruction of components due to excessive power voids the war-  
ranty. In these cases, the repair will be made at the owner’s expense. To return  
for repairs, the unit must be shipped to Russound at the owner’s expense, along  
with a note explaining the nature of the service required. Be sure to pack in a  
corrugated container with at least 3 inches of resilient material to protect the  
unit from damage in transit.  
The status feature requires that the source component has a  
switched AC outlet.  
3. Power Supply: The power supply plugs into the Hub. The Russound A-PS  
24VDC/2.5A unit is an example.  
To enable the status feature:  
- Move the status jumper on all Amplified Modules to the  
“Enabled” position.  
- Move the status switch on the Hub to the “STATUS” position.  
- Using a Russound Model 846C 120V/12VDC or comparable  
adapter, connect the coaxial plug end to the STATUS input on  
the Hub, and plug the adapter into a switched AC outlet on the  
source component.  
After all of the punchdown connections are made, route the cables  
in the box so they avoid power lines and are not grouped with  
other cables in the panel.  
IR EMITTERS  
®
A-BUS is a registered trademark of LeisureTech Electronics Pty Ltd Australia  
Connect an IR emitter such as the 845.1 to each of the 4 IR con-  
nectors on the A-H1 (you need use only one IR emitter if you’ve  
connected a single source directly to the A-H1). The IR signal that  
is received through a zone’s Amplified Keypad is routed to the  
A-H1’s Common IR outputs. This allows remote operation of  
sources such as CD, DVD, or DSS from each zone.  
When the source is on and supplying status voltage to the Hub, the  
Amplified Module’s LED indicator will illuminate green. When the  
source is turned off, all Amplified Modules that are on will also  
turn off (the A-VC will mute).  
Before returning a unit for repair, call Russound at (603) 659-5170 for a Return  
Authorization number. Write the RA number on the shipping label and ship to:  
Russound, ATTN: Service, 5 Forbes Road, Newmarket NH 03857  
IMPORTANT: When the status feature is enabled, it must be used  
(i.e., supplied with power) in order to ensure proper operation with  
accessories such as the A-LC2 Local Source Input Module.  
Russound sells product only through authorized Dealers and Distributors to
