LED Power on LED Error On/Off Volume RS 232/485 Audio in 12V DC power in• Only use the supplied power supply.
- First connect the loudspeaker to the audio source with the supplied audio cable.
• Then connect the 12V plug from the power supply.
• Only then plug the power supply into a mains source.
Manualoperation:
• Switching on and volume up: turn volume knob right, clockwise.
• Switching off and volume down: turn volume knob left, counter clockwise.
- The amplifier will not switch on immediately after turning the volume knob, it will wait till the green LED has flashed once. This is part of the power saving function.
- When the amplifier is switched on the green and red LED will flash once. After that the green LED will stay on.
- When the amplifier is switched off, the green LED will flash every 3-4 seconds as stand-by indication. This is also the RS232/485 monitor moment.
RS232/RS485operation:
- When the amplifier is switched on (green LED on), it will scan the RS232 and RS485 ports on activity.
- When the amplifier detects activity on one of the ports it will switch to this port. The other port will be ignored as long as power is on.
• Scanning of the ports will be resumed only when the power is switched off and on again. - When the amplifier is RS232 / RS485 operated, the position of the volume knob will be ignored.
- When the amplifier is switched off via the RS232 / RS485 ports is will scan these ports every 3-4 seconds on new activities.
RS232 / RS485 Protocol:
• The amplifier is operated by readable ascii commands.
• These commands can, as example, be send and viewed by a terminal emulation program.
○ Baudrate: 9600
○ 8 Bits (8n1)
• The operation is based on the Basic Control Structure (BCS) Protocol of AMX/Crestron.

Supporting BCS commands:
- BCS commands are used as much as possible, however for some functions there exist no BCS codes, for these functions dedicated * commandos are used.

• Volume in dB (value -100 tot 0) 0 is maximum amplification.
- At -100 the amplifier will be switched in stand-by.
- When no value is set, value 0 will be used (attention this is max. volume)
Status replies:
| Answer | Meaning |
| Ok | Everythinh working okay |
| E | Amplifier IC is giving an error signal. |
| W | Amplifier IC is giving a Warning signal. |
| EW | Amplifier IC is giving both an Error and a Warning signal. |

RS485 SubD 9 pinout:
Attention the RS485 pinout for SubD9 is not standardized. It is important to check documentation of the RS485 interface before connecting.
Recommended is an UT-850 USB-RS485 cable, this has SubD9 pinout connections as in the diagram:
