GPIO

3-pin Control Connector 

See 

GPIO Wiring

 for pinouts

GPIO Input

: When configured as an input the 

processor will look for a low (<0.8V DC) or a high 

(>2.4V DC) state. 

Minimum 0V DC / Maximum 12V DC.

GPIO Output

: When configured as an output, the 

port provides a binary output of 0-12V 

DC 150mA max.

RS-232

8-pin RJ-45 port used to transmit and receive 

serial binary data to and from serial controllable 

devices. CTS/RTS handshaking availability based 

on component profile. See 

RS-232 Connections

 

section for pin-outs.

Speaker wiring connections are made 

using 4-pin Speaker Connectors  

supplied with the device. The wire slips 

into the hole and locks with a screw 

located at the top of the connector. 

Speaker connectors accept up to 

12AWG speaker cable.

NOTES

 

– Wire order shown does not represent any wiring standard.

 

– While not shown in the diagram above, Zones 2 to 4 follow the same 

wiring as Zone 1.

IMPORTANT

: When wiring to 

this port, do not connect any 

wires within the cable that are 

not required for  

communication.

NOTES

:

 

– CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for flow control based on the 

profile used in the configuration.

 

– Wire coloring is included to identify the pins used for this  

connection. Colors shown do not represent any wiring standard.

 

– The IP Audio 125 does not support RS-422/485.

RJ-45 to DB9 Adapter

: Savant offers RJ-45 to DB9 adapters in a  

variety of configurations that can be used for RS-232 control.
Refer to the 

RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and Pinout Application Note

 

located on the Savant Customer Community for more information on

IR connections are made using 

6-pin IR Connectors supplied with 

the device. The wire slips into the 

hole and locks with a screw  

located at the top of the  

connector.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

 

– Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the 

controller’s location.

 

– Use of 3rd party blinking IR emitters with Talk Back is 

not  

supported

. These types of emitters can draw voltage away from the 

IR signal that can degrade IR performance.

 

– While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 4 to 6 follow 

the same wiring as 1 to 3.
