SP2400 – 13

The 

REMOTE

 connector is wired as follows:

Pin 1 = Ground (Shield)
Pin 2 = Data + (with +24V DC power)
Pin 3 = Data – (with +24V DC power)

Note:

 See the instructions with the remote

control for more information.

Connecting the RS485 Serial Port

This is a 3-pin Phoenix-type connector that

follows standard RS485 protocol. Select either a
data-grade shielded twisted pair cable or a standard
3-conductor microphone cable for this connection.

The 

RS485

 port is wired as follows:

Pin 1 = A (non-inverting I/O)
Pin 2 = G (Ground)
Pin 3 = B (inverting I/O)

The SPLinker Sound Palette Control PC

application uses the 

RS485

 serial port to connect

between a computer and the SP2400. Connect the
PC RS485 port to the first SP2400, and then inter-
connect up to 16 SP2400s in the system using their

RS485

 connections.

Note:

 It may be necessary to install an RS485

interface card in the PC, or to use an RS232 to
RS485 converter.

Since the two 

RS485

 ports are internally

connected in the SP2400, one can be used as an
input from the previous SP2400, and the other as
an output to the next SP2400.

Up to 16 SP2400s can be connected together

with 32 independent zones (each zone assigned a
unique 

AMP ADDRESS

), or up to 32 SP2400s in

stereo operation (each SP2400 assigned the same

AMP ADDRESS

 on both sides, with one side

assigned Master and the other side Slave).

Bus Assign Switch Chart

Internal Settings

Note:

 There are several settings that can be

changed inside the SP2400. These settings should
be made prior to installing the SP2400.

CAUTION:

 These servicing instructions

are for use by qualified personnel only. To
avoid electric shock, do not perform any

servicing other than that contained in the Operating
Instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Make sure the power is off and the power cord
disconnected before removing the top cover to gain
access to the inside of the SP2400.

Bus Assign

There are two 8-position DIP switches on the

Input Board that allow you to assign a Program
Input source to the balanced expansion bus. Each
Program Input Source has four corresponding
switches: Left (+), Left (–), Right (+), and Right (–).
Typically, you would move all four switches either
down (off) or up (assign to expansion bus).

CAUTION:

 Never assign more than one

program source to the same channel on
the Expansion Bus. Assigning sources

from more than one SP2400 onto the same bus
may damage the unit.
