is turned on (15mA max). This can be used to trigger external equipment.
When all zones are turned off, 0VDC is present.
12. +12VDC
This 3.5mm mono connection provides a constant +12VDC output (500mA
max).
13. RS-232
DB-9 jack for RS-232 control of the AD-8x from a control system.
14. ID Number
Installations can have up to 8 AD-8x units installed providing up to 64 output
zones. Each AD-8x can have a unique ID number to allow discrete IR control.
Discrete IR code libraries are available for each unique ID. Refer to the ID
assignment chart to the right of the 3 switches and adjust as necessary to
set the unique ID for each AD-8x unit.
15. Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port (RJ45) allows for bi-directional control from an RTI XP
series control processor over an Ethernet network (LAN). A two-way driver
is available on the RTI website (dealer section) that will enable this type of
control.
16. AC Power Socket and Fuse
A three-pin grounded socket that connects with a removable AC power cord
with a T5AL 250V fuse.

as the RTI CP-450 or CP-1650 ampliers. The switch can be set to
VAR or FIX.
• VAR - The ouput level is variable and will ramp up and down with the
corresponding AD-8x zone volume control.
• FIX - The ouput level is xed and is not affected by the corresponding
AD-8x zone volume control. Using this setting requires an external
amplierwhichsupportsvolumecontrol.
