Great care should be taken to ensure that all building regulations are followed. [. . . ] The RJ45 hub connection should be wired to EIA/TIA568A standard (see below opposite). The Cat-5 connection from AH10 to the AS10-A should not exceed 30m /100 ft. The AS10-A is then connected to the AS10-P using either a run of high-quality speaker cable (preferred) or Cat-5e cable (optional) terminated at 8-way colour-coded punch down connections (all eight cores must be connected). Only one method of connection between the active and passive speaker is necessary. and black (-) terminals on your active speaker to black (-) terminals on your passive speaker (fig. 2 below). 100mm 10mm fig. 2. The speaker cable is coded with a bead or stripe down one lead's insulation, or has differently coloured wires. Press the spring-loaded red or black tab to reveal the connecting hole. If your speakers are wired incorrectly they will be out of phase and sound hollow and indistinct, with a weak bass. Re-check your connections for correct polarity and reverse the connections if necessary. Do not compromise the performance of your system by using inferior quality speaker cables. powered components before making any loudpeaker or component connections. This will avoid the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment. Separate about 100 mm of speaker cable at each end, then using a wire stripper, remove about 10mm of insulation from both ends of the conductor, and then twist the strands (see fig. 1 above opposite). When connecting the AS10-A to the AS10-P, observing polarity is of the utmost importance. Ensure that the red (+) terminals on your active speaker are connected to the red (+) terminals on the passive speaker, WIRING GUIDE EIA / TIA 568A wiring standard (View from contact end) 1 white /green 2 green 3 white /orange 4 blue 5 white /blue 6 orange 7 white /brown 8 brown Cat5e cable terminated at AS10 8-way punch down connector 12345678 1 white /brown 2 brown 3 white /blue 4 blue 5 white /green 6 green 7 white /orange 8 orange Incognito active ceiling speakers 7 USING THE REMOTE HANDSET The AS10 s are operated via the LR10 which is a learning remote control capable of controlling not only the AS10 but also the source equipment. 1.

This might be a games machine or CD player in the bedroom, for example. There are two ways of connecting a local source: INCOGNITO LM10 WALLPLATE The LM10 wallplate has a line input and and IR output socket for IR control of the local source via the AH10/VH10. AS10 ONBOARD LOCAL INPUT A local source can be connected directly to the AS10. IR control of the source can only be done `line-of-sight' in this case as the AS10 does not have an IR output. Connection to the local input socket on the AS10-A should be via screened audio cable, terminated at a suitable faceplate.
