Ethernet LAN Connection (Models 1681
EQ , 1660, 1281 EQ and 1261) – This en-
ables control of the Architect via a standard
10BaseT computer network. The internal
web server of the Architect also allows the
technician to remotely monitor the status of
the amplier. See page 14 for more informa-
tion.
Bypass Switch – For diagnostics only. This
button disables all the Ethernet control
functions and forces all channels on. This is
useful in case there is a problem with the
home automation system and you really
need some music.
Signal Sense Defeat – The signal sensing
circuitry activates a zone when a signal is
present. To leave the Architect ready to play
at all times, press this switch “In” (to Defeat).
Bus Inputs 1 and 2 – These RCA inputs
provide two distribution busses to provide
a common signal to multiple zones. These
inputs are used in conjunction with the Bus
Input Switches on each amplier zone.
Speaker Outputs – These terminal blocks
are designed to make an installer smile.
You can unplug the blocks and connect all
of the speaker wires to them without bal-
ancing the Architect on your lap. This also
makes it very simple to pre-wire a system.
Local Trigger Inputs – This 1/8” mini-jack
uses an external 12 volt trigger to switch
the zone between the bus input and the
local zone input. This is great for switching a
room between the whole-house audio sig-
nal and a local source such as a television.
The LED next to this jack indicates when the
trigger is active. The trigger over rides signal
sense.
Mono – This button sums (Monos) the
left and right inputs of the selected zone.
This button is active when pressed in and
does not aect any other zones. The Mono
feature is also used when you are bridging
a zone.
Input Level Controls – This screwdriver
adjustment controls the input sensitivity of
the Architect amplier.
