Introduction

This guide was written with the aim of guiding you through the installation of a Soundweb Contrio wall controller. We recommend that you read this install guide before attempting to install and operate the controller.

BSS Audio Soundweb Contrio wall controllers are the next-generation controllers for use with BSS Audio Soundweb London and other compatible devices. Attractively priced analog and Ethernet HiQnet™ controller options are available. Each controller model is available in black or white and in US or EU mounting variants.

The analog controllers consist of simple resistor-based switches and rotary potentiometers to control Soundweb London devices though their Control Input ports via 2-conductor wire.

Front Panel

BSS Audio Soundweb Contrio AC-5S - Front Panel - 1

1. Volume Potentiometer

This resistor-based potentiometer is used for controlling volume.

2. 5-Position Selector Switch

This resistor-based, 5-position switch can be programmed to control source selection, preset selection, or any other assignable state variable.

Mechanical Installation

The US versions of the Contrio wall controllers were designed to fit into standard 1-gang wall boxes. The EU versions were designed to fit into standard EU 1-gang square or round boxes. Screws are provided with each controller to fix them in place. Both 3mm and 3.5mm screws are provided with EU models for mounting as required.

Dimensions of each analog wall controller model are shown below.

Connections

The analog Contrio controllers have 2 terminals: one which carries the voltage for source or level control (depending on controller type) and one for ground (or common). The below diagram shows how a single controller would be connected to the Control Input ports for control over port 1. Each Soundweb London chassis can support connections of up to twelve analog Contrio controllers.

NOTE: The Soundweb device must be configured for 2-wire mode when using the analog Contrio controllers. This is the default mode.

Ground Lug Connection (Optional)

A ground lug is provided on all Contrio controllers for connecting to an earth ground. This can provide further protection against ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). In most cases this connection should not be necessary. However, if you experience irregular behavior when testing a Contrio controller, connecting this lug to an earth ground may resolve the issue.

Applying Labels To The Controllers

The analog Contrio controllers allow you to remove the window lens overlay so you can apply labels to the window insert beneath it.

To apply labels to an analog controller:

  1. Carefully pull the knob straight off.
  2. Hold the controller upside down in the palm of one hand. With the fingernails of the other hand, press and release the tab closest to the pot first and then press and release the other tab, allowing the insert and overlay to fall into the palm of the hand holding the controller.
  3. Remove the window insert from the window lens overlay then affix labels to the window insert.
  4. Place window insert back into window lens overlay and insert the tab furthest from the pot into the slot first, then insert the tab closest to the pot so that the lens clicks into place.
  5. Place the knob back on the pot shaft, ensuring to align the flat side of the knob with the flat side of the pot shaft.
