Introduction

Welcome to the world of all-digital media networking. This is a companion guide to the

audioShare®Basic System Installation Guide. Please refer to that document for a complete

description of the audioShare®system.

audioShare®isthefirsttrulynetworked,direct-dialall-masteraudio(voiceandmusic)networkand

home automation control system. As such, it is probably unfamiliar to most installers so a brief

tutorial is in order.

Power, data and media buses are distributed to all units via Cat. 5 (or better) wiring. Although

standardEthernetwiringandRJ45connectorsareused,audioShare®usesaproprietarynetworking

scheme that is NOT COMPATIBLE with Ethernet. However, there are some devices in the

audioShare®family that include Ethernet connections for adapting to external computers and

networks. TheseconnectionsareclearlylabeledtodistinguishthemfromtheaudioShare®network

connections.

Power (50 VDC) is supplied on pins 4 and 5 of all RJ45 connectors of the audioShare®network,

except the uplink connector on hub model #ASH01.

Design precautions have been taken to prevent damage in case of mis-wiring. For example, the 50

VDC power is protected against accidental reverse wiring of pins 4 and 5. Additionally, data and

media buses are similarly protected. If the RJ45 wiring is backwards to standard, the worst that can

happen is the offending unit will not work properly. However, if wiring is completely wrong,

serious damage can occur. Please follow the wiring diagram carefully (see RJ45 Wiring on page

10) and test each run with a standard Ethernet cable tester before applying power to the system.

The system is further protected against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) at each unit by several

semiconductor devices which are grounded via pin 4 (blue wire) of the Cat 5, back to the system

power supply. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to ensure that the system power supply is

properly grounded to the electrical system as called out in the National Electrical Code (NEC).

However,in ordertoprevent groundloopswhich createhumin anyaudio systemit isalsonecessary

to make sure that no other grounding occurs in the system other than at the system power supply.

Each unit in an audioShare®system has its own unique number or “address.” The Control Relay

Module (CRM) has a setof address selectorswitches inside the cover which can be set from address

201 through 239 to allow for up to 39 CRMs to be included in a given system.

For a complete list of audioShare®features, please refer to the User Guide. The latest version of

the User Guide can be downloaded in pdf format from our website at www.audioshare.net under

the Support tab.

SYSTEM PLANNING

Before installation begins, in fact, before the wiring phase of construction even begins, we

recommend that you plan where each type of unit will be installed. This will greatly simplify the

system configuration after installation. Appendix C is a Location Worksheet that will help

identify where each unit is placed in the home along with other pertinent information needed during

the configuration process. Make additional photo copies as needed. A complete list of units is

found in the audioShare®User Guide.

CRM Placement

CRMs may be placed anywhere in the audioShare®system where control of external devices such

assecuritygates,garagedoors,yardlights,security(alarm)systems,thermostats,irrigationsystems,

etc. are located. The only site preparation required is the installation of a Cat 5 cable from the

audioShare®system, in any configuration of home run and/or daisy chain (see the audioShare®

Basic Installation Guide). Power and control signals are supplied to the CRM over the Cat 5 so

no other wiring is needed. The CRM includes dry relay contacts, both normally open (N.O.) and

normally closed (N.C.), to operate any device up to 120 VAC or 30 VDC at up to 2 Amps. Relay

operation can be momentary or continuous and is completely configurable from any wall station.

There are 14 pre-defined modes of operation as well as a user definable mode which can be

configured from any personal computer attached to the system via an Ethernet port (ASPEM or

ASHB3).

CRMs also accept input signals from any external device that provides a switch or relay closure or

a TTL voltage level from 0 - 24 VDC. These input signals may be used to send control information

to the audioShare®system to acknowledge the completion of an operation, or to trigger an audible

signal,orto start or stop theoperationofanother external device,orwhateverotherpurpose the user

needs.

CRM Addresses

Use a logical address numbering system, one that will be easy for the users to remember. There are

up to 39 addresses available for CRMs, 201 through 239. The address book feature allows users to

assign names the addresses for easier access.

audioShare Control Relay Module Installation Guide v00r01-090421.wpd 6

Mechanical Installation

Tools Required

The following tools are required for the installation of various audioShare®devices:

• Phillips Screwdriver - small tip

• Wire Stripping Tool for Cat. 5 wire preparation.

• Crimping Tool for RJ45 connector installation.

• Ethernet Cable Tester for Cat. 5 cable and RJ45 connector installation checking.

• Various pliers, wire cutters and screwdrivers.

• Multi-Meter (DMM or mechanical movement) with DC Volts, Resistance and Continuity

functions.

CAUTION:BeforeinstallinganyaudioShare®unitsoraccessorymodules,makesurethe

power supply is disconnected to prevent accidental damage to the units and to prevent the

possibility of electrical shock.

WARNING: It is common practice to acid wash exterior brick or stone walls or to power

wash homes withsiding or stucco exteriors. Doing this with an audioShare®CRM exposed

to the wash will damage the unit. Resulting damage is not covered under the warranty.

Always be sure to remove the unit and protect the Cat 5 wires and the RJ45 connectors

before performing these washes.

The CRM should be installed where it will be protected from weather, excessive heat and moisture,

and tampering by unauthorized persons. There are no particular orientation issues. The unit is

completelyself-contained andispoweredfromthe main audioShare®systempower supply via the

Cat.5 (or other) cable.

Wiring Information

WARNING: audioShare®devices contain complex electronic circuitry that is highly

sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). audioShare®CRMs have been designed to

shuntelectrostaticdischarge awayfromthesesensitivecircuits. Inorderfor thisprotection

to be fully effective, the system power supply must be connected directly to an

electrical/earthground. FailuretoproperlygroundtheaudioShare®powersupplywillvoid

the warranty and is in violation of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

NOTE:Nospecialprecautionsneedtobetakenwhen runningCat5wiring astoproximity

to other electrical wiring or appliances.

The audioShare®system is designed for optimum performance using Cat. 5 (or better) eight-

conductor cables (4 twisted pairs). This is the recommended wire type. However, other types of

twisted pair cables such as Cat. 3 will work with a decrease in the maximum length of a run. Six-

conductor, 3 pair cables may also be used (Nutone IW-6 for example), but limit the system to only

one media bus unless the ASA468 Retrofit Adapter is employed. Use of non-recommended wire

types should only be considered when upgrading existing installations where old wiring is too

difficult or too expensive to replace. For more information regarding retrofit wiring visit our

website or contact DHC Tech Support.

Pre-Wiring

Pre-wiring for a CRM is as simple as running a Cat 5 (or equivalent) from an audioShare®hub or

PIM or PEM in a home run or daisy chain configuration to the location where the CRM will be

connected to the devices needing to be controlled.

The Cat. 5 may be daisy chained through the CRM to another audioShare®device or may be the

end of the line with a network terminator installed in the unused RJ45 port.

If the CRM is the only device that is or will ever be attached to that run, the wiring may be as little

as 2 twisted pairs (no flat, un-twisted ribbon cable is permitted). The system power (RJ45 pins 4

& 5) and the Data Bus (RJ45 pins 7 & 8) are the only required connections to operate a CRM. Of

course, it is highly recommended that Cat. 5 be used in an audioShare®system whenever possible.

TheCRMshould be attached to theexternaldevice(s)by the appropriate length andtypeofwire (up

to 14 ga.) suited to that particular operation. The terminals inside the top cover are clearly labeled.

A ground terminal (#1) provides a direct connection to earth ground (if needed) via the Cat. 5 to the

system power supply which should be connected to the electrical (earth) ground. The ground

terminalis notintendedtobe grounded at the CRM. Doingsowillcreate a ground loop whichcould

affect system operation.

As far as power consumption is concerned, ten CRMs are the equivalent of one Wall Station.

Termination

End-of-run network terminators balance the load and guarantee data integrity over the entire

network. Because of the true networking design of audioShare®and because of the guaranteed

maximum distance specification, terminators must be used at the end (last unit) of any run.

Terminators must also be installed on the unused port of the Power Injector Module (PIM) or the

Power/EthernetModule(PEM). Thehubisterminatedinternally,thereforeunusedhubportsshould

Maximum Number of Units

Total system capacity is limited to 255 unit addresses, but all addresses above 200 are reserved for

door stations, special home automation units and other control functions (CRMs, for example) as

wellas futureexpansion. Therefore,a maximumof200 wallstations and/orAudioAccess Modules

(AAM) can be installed in a given system. Door stations count in the upper 55 reserved addresses

(240-247). CRMs also count in the upper 55 addresses (201-239).

The capacity of a single hub is 16 units (up to 5 per port). The capacity of a PIM/PEM is 16 units

(up to 8 per leg). Both of these limitations are based mostly on the capacity of the power supply

which is rated at 130 Watts. It also takes into account the amperage rating of the Cat. 5 wire and

the maximum length of 500 ft. (150 meters).

CRMs use one tenth the power of a wall station, therefore ten CRMs are equivalent to one wall

station (one unit).
