Introduction to the Millennium SystemADA's Millennium System incorporates everything that is required for a sophisticated multi-room home entertainment system. As the Millennium inherits the same flexible "Custom"features from its fabled big brother, System Omega, the Millennium includes a full array ofaccessories permitting you to custom design a system to suit your clients lifestyle. As with anyADA system, the Millennium is engineered to provide these basic points - "ADA Guide-Lines":

1 Ease of Operation - The Millennium keypads' button layouts are intuitive, permittinganyone to quickly master the system's operation.

2 Exceptional Sound Quality - Often overlooked as an unimportant aspect of a multi-roomstereo system and at times difficult to describe as a major selling feature, sound qualityis a critical consideration. If you were spending thousands of dollars on an entertainmentsystem, wouldn't you expect it to sound great. The Millennium delivers superb high-current amplification which will more effectively drive in-wall speakers. The switchingand preamplification stage of the Millennium is also very clean with a fixed line-leveloutput THD rating less than 0.004%.

3 Durability & Value - As with all major ADA components, the Millennium is constructedfrom an all-metal chassis and includes a caliber of parts rarely found in custom installedelectronic products. Unlike some other multi-room system, the Millennium is engineeredto perform for many years.

4 Flexibility & Design Options - The Millennium comes complete with an entire family ofkeypads, IR remote controls, and accessories. While the most common keypad is theMC-1676, many other control options exist permitting you to design the system to betterfit your client's lifestyle and design esthetic. Furthermore, many accessories allow youto truly customize a system without having to include expensive home-automation typecontrollers.

5 Ease Of Installation & Dependability- The Millennium is designed to be swiftly installedpermitting you to proceed to your next project. In addition to being an installer's "dreamsystem", the Millennium is extremely dependable, operating on a control system(System Omega's) that has been in use for over ten years.

Standard FeaturesBased on a single chassis design, the Millennium includes everything that is needed for a full-function multi-room audio video system. These features include the following:

1 Source Switching - As many as eightsource components can be includedon a Millennium System. Button capsare easily interchangeable and a com-plete library of buttons are availablefrom ADA.

2 Source AC Control - The Millennium system provides two levels ofsource AC control. The basic AC is built-in and will turn all sourceson at once when any one source is selected. For advanced sourceAC switching, the ACC-48 or ASU-10 will engage sources only asneeded, preserving the life of the source component.

3 Source IR Control - The Millennium incorporates a built-in IRlearning device which can perform five transport functionsfor each of the first four sources (typically FM1, FM2, CD 1,& CD 2) and four functions for the remaining four sources(typically CASS, LASER, VCR, & DSS). The Millenniumlearns these codes from the source's original hand-heldremote control and can be continuously be changed oradded to.

4 Zone DC Trigger - The Millennium provides a low voltage DC output per zone that is onwhenever its zone is on. This low voltage signal can be used to trigger an ACC-3 or CCS-4 which in turn is used to automatically engage an external zone amplifier or hometheater system.

5 Keypad Wire Harness - Included with each Millennium Package is theWH-8000 Wiring Harness which is used to terminate home-run keypadcontrol cables. The WH-8000 is typically located behind the equipmentrack and wires to the Millennium with 14-pin ribbon cables provided withthe system.

6 6 Zones to 36 Zones- Each Millennium can provide independent audio to sixzones and as many as six Millenniums can be combined to provide audio toup to 36 zones. When using more than one Millennium, the first Millennium willinclude the audio inputs and IR controller while the additional Millenniums(Millennium Slave Units - same price) will not include these circuit boards. TheMillenniums are connected together through a 50-pin ribbon cable which isincluded with the system.

7 Preamplification - Each zone incorporates volume up and volume down control,selectable from the keypad, IR remote control, or the front of the Millennium.

Standard Features (cont.)8 Equalization - Each zone in-

corporates bass and treblecontour control which is ad-justed and set on the front ofthe Millennium.

9 Amplification - Each zone includes high-current fan-cooled amplification stable down to2Ω. Speakers are connected directly to the Millennium using a removable 4-pin screwterminal connector. When using 8Ω speakers, you can include as many as four pairsper zone. The power output is 30 Watts per channel at 8Ω, 50 Watts per channel at 4Ω,and 55 Watts per chan-nel at 2Ω.

10 Line-Level Outputs -Each zone includes aline-level output whichcan be set to provide either a fixed line-level audio signal (for surround sound decoders)or a variable line-level audio signal (for a zone's external power amplifier).

Optional FeaturesIn addition to the standard features found on the Millennium, several optional components existthat make the Millennium ideal for any installation.

1 Infrared Repeating - Since the Millennium has only one IR outputand a system could include as many as eight source components,ADA provides the IRS-8 Eight-Way IR Splitter. The IRS-8 connectsto the Millennium through a mono-1/8" male-to-male mini-jack.Standard IR flashers then connect to the IRS-8 and run directly toeach source component. The IRS-8 can split the Millennium's singleIR output to up to eight flashers.

For keypad transport control of multiple identical components, such as two like CDchangers, you will need to use an alternate infrared routing device other than the IRS-8. Since the Millennium and the IRS-8 parallel all IR outputs together, activating akeypad's transport function for one source (i.e. CD 1) will pass this same IR code to allother sources. If these sources also operated on the identical code, they too, wouldfollow this command. The MIRR-8 Millennium IR Router,permits identical source components to operate independentlyon the same system. Instead of leaving the IR gates to thesources closed all the time, as with the IRS-8, the MIRR-8 hasall IR gates open until a particular source component has afunction activated on the keypad. At that time, that source's IRgate closes long enough for the Millennium to send the appro-priate IR code. Please note, that because the MIRR-8 holds allthe gates open when in standby, no IR repeating is possiblethrough MC-1609 Keypads or IRD-1600 IR Receivers.

2 Advanced AC Control - The Millennium operates perfectly with sources that incorporate"timer-play". These sources, such as CD and cassette players, automatically engageinto play when they are turned on (receive AC). ADA provides two advanced ACswitching devices:

The ACC-48 is used to turn sources on and off only asneeded. The ACC-48 has four programmable AC outletson it. These outlets can be set to turn on with any numbersources. For example, one outlet can engage with anyone source while the remaining three outlets can be setto engage with a specific source. Two ACC-48s can beused to provide independent AC switching for all eightsources.

The ASU-10 is also used to turnsources on and off only asneeded. The ASU-10 is rack-mounted and will provide ACswitching for all eight sources.Two additional AC outlets on the ASU-10 are used for Master AC control using the ASU-10's front panel AC switch (vacation power switch).

3 Video-Follow-Audio Switching -The VSU-8 turns the MillenniumSystem into a complete multi-room AV system. The VSU-8 isused to switch the appropriatecomposite video signal to the remote room while the Millennium switches the corre-sponding audio signal. One VSU-8 can be used to switch video to eight zones.

4 Zone Splitters - The ZS-1 Zone Splitter permits youto take one zone on the Millennium and split it to tworooms where each room has its own keypad. TheZS-1 incorporates a speaker relay and electroni-cally controlled autoformer. For example, if zone 1on the Millennium is the Master Bedroom and Mas-ter Bath, each room will have its own keypad home-run to the mainframe. Speakers are also home-runto the mainframe. Located behind the equipmentrack at the mainframe are two ZS-1s, one for bedroom and one for the bath. When asource is selected in the bath, only the speakers in the bath will engage even though theamplifier for both rooms is turned on. Furthermore, the keypad's volume up and volumedown buttons adjust only the bath's volume while the bedroom's volume is adjusted inthe same manner on its keypad. Thus, two rooms, while sharing the same source,engage independently and adjust volume locally without the addition of a rotary volumecontrol. One Millennium can provide power to only two ZS-1s. Therefore, no more thanone zone can be split per Millennium.

Optional Features (cont.)

5 Privacy Options - One of the system's many op-tions is that of upgrading the system wire harness,the WH-8000, to the SODC-8 Wiring Harness.The SODC-8 has eight removable keypad screwtermination connectors, just like the standard WH-8000. The SODC-8 has additional circuitry whichwill cause the keypads in rooms that are not in use,to flash the source buttons of components cur-rently in use elsewhere in the home. While thisfunction may be ideal for some rooms, the flashingkeypad may be annoying in other rooms (such asbedrooms). Therefore, the SODC-8 allows eachkeypad terminator to be selectively set to eitherflash or not-flash sources in use. Thus, whenentering a room, simply exam the keypad for a fewmoments. If for example, FM1 and CD2 are beingused elsewhere in the home, the keypad's FM1and CD2 buttons will momentarily light up in acycle of eight sources repeatedly. The user canchoose to access these sources or select a com-pletely unused source. Thus, as persons movefrom one room to the next, they can select thesource they were listening to and still control itstransport function even when in a room other thanthe room they started in. ADA recognizes thatusers within a certain household can learn to livewith each other, respecting the source selection ofother family members and the right of the installerto proceed to other projects.

6 Source Selection Detection - The ZT-1 Zone Tracker is in essence, a simple home-automation device which tracks the source selection of a particular zone. The ZT-1 canbe set to engage with one source, several sources, or all sources and when on, providesa low voltage signal which can be used to engage ACC-3 or CCS-4 Low Voltage SensingSwitching devices, video projectors, motorized screens, motor-ized curtains, lighting systems, or many other electronicallycontrolled devices. Thus, in a system incorporating five audioand three video sources, the inclusion of a ZT-1 in the hometheater would permit the projector to automatically turn on, thescreen to lower, and the curtains to close when only a videosource is selected on the room's keypad. When an audiosource is selected or the room is turned off, these devices wouldturn off and raise/open.

Control Options - IntroductionThe following points detail the basic functions associated with the buttons on a MillenniumSystem's keyapd or IR control.

1 8 Source Selection Buttons - Pressing the source button the first time, turns on a zoneand selects that source. Sources with "timer-play" functions such as CD and cassetteplayers, will automatically engage into play with the simple selection of that source.

Note: As with all the keypads, with the exception of the MC-1616 All Weather Outdoor Keypad,the buttons are completely in-the-field interchangeable. While the standard sourcebutton format for the Millennium System is FM1, FM2, CD1, CD2, CASS, LASER, VCR,DSS, Audio Design Associates has an entire library of source buttons. While this librarychanges periodically, if your specific system has a different source configuration, checkwith ADA regarding the availability of alternate source buttons.

2 ROOM OFF Button - The first time the ROOM OFF button is pressed (actually tapped),the room will mute. To regain audio, press (tap) the ROOM OFF button again or pressthe VOL UP or VOL DN buttons.

Firmly pressing the ROOM OFF button will turn off that zone. If the zone is off but thesystem was left on elsewhere, the ROOM OFF button's LED will be on. For MC-1676,MC-16.5, or MC-1616 keypads, the ROOM OFF LED is located directly above theROOM OFF button.

Pressing and holding the ROOM OFF button will turn off the entire system. This can bedone from any keypad or IR control on the system. When the system is completely shutdown, all keypad LED indicators will be off.

3 VOL UP & VOL DN Buttons - These buttons respectively raise and lower a zone'svolume level. When using a keypad connected to a ZS-1 Zone Splitter, these buttonswill raise and lower local volume only.

4 <<, >>, , & > Buttons - These buttons release the IR transport control signalprogrammed into the Millennium. The IR signal released is dependent upon the sourceselected in that keypad's zone. Thus, these functions can perform a different operationfor each of the eight sources on the system. For the first four sources, typically FM1,FM2, CD1, & CD2, a fifth function is accessed by repeatedly pressing the source buttonafter a source is selected. For tuners, this function is typically "tuner preset skip" andfor CD changers this function is typically "disc skip".

Note: Since the Millennium has a single IR output, all sources receive the same IR signal thatis paralleled through the IRS-8 IR Splitter or a common flasher. Therefore, if the systemcontains several components which are of the same make and type, activation of onesource's transport command may cause the other source to advance in the samemanner. Thus, if two CD changers are used, it is advisable to make certain that theseCD changers operate on completely different infrared codes. To make certain that thisis the case, it may be useful to include like components from different manufacturers orsources that have IR control switches(i.e. IR I & II) and operate on multiple settings.

Control Wire OptionsThe Millennium System is relatively simple to wire. The following wiring options exist.

a ADA recommends a 12 conductor, with a gauge of 20 or 22, and a foil shield with drainrun home from each keypad location. The keypads actually require only ten wiresproviding two spare wires in addition to the shield.

b When IR repeating using the MC-1609 Keypad as the IR receiver, an extra wire out ofthe 12 will be used to provide the IR carrier signal to the Millennium leaving one sparewire.

c In cases were there are only ten wires and the shield (with drain), you can use the shield/drain as the ground wire and the remaining ten wires for both control and IR repeating.

d In cases were an 8 conductor with shield (& drain) are run and a four conductor speakercable is run from the speaker location, through the keypad's location and then home, youcan gather the ninth wire from the drain and the tenth wire from one of the four speakerwires. The remaining three speaker wires would be used for positive left channel,positive right channel, and right & left ground.

e In cases were a 6 conductor are run you can opt to use the six wires with any of thekeypads for control without status feedback. In these cases, the LED indicators on thekeypad will not illuminate at all. For these situations, it may be more preferable to provideonly IR control using the IRD-1600 and MC-0016 controls.

f If you have a four conductor cable with shield (& drain) along with the speaker wires runthrough the keypad's location, you can gather six wires using one from the shield andone from the four conductor speaker cable as described in case "d". This will provideenough wires to offer option "e".

Control OptionsOne major factor which separates the Millennium System from all others in its class is the widevariety of keypads and plate finishes available with the Millennium. The following controlsoperate with the Millennium System.

1 MC-1676 Decora Keypad - The MC-1676 is the standard and mostbasic Millennium System keypad. The LED indicators above eachsource button illuminate to indicate which source is selected in aparticular zone. The MC-1676 fits into a single gang wall box andpermits slight lateral adjustments once the box is installed. Thekeypad does not include the Decora wall plate. Keypad bezels areavailable in white, ivory, and black. Keypad buttons are availablein white, ivory, or black.

2 MC-16.5 Keypad - The MC-16.5 Keypad provides an alternative to the single-gang MC-1676 Keypad and also fits a single-gang wall box. The buttons do not light up and sourcestatus is indicated in the window at the top of the keypad. This window contains 8 LEDswhich are used to backlight a "film legend" which has the source names written on it. The"film legend" is an exposed piece of film with the source names (5 letters max) writtenin clear letters such that they illuminate when the LED behind them is lit. The standard"film legend" reads: FM1, FM2, CD1, CD2, CASS, LASER, VCR,DSS. When using this keypad and a source format different from thelisting above, a "custom legend" fee will be added to your ordertypically $100 for the film and $10 per keypad. The MC-16.5 is fittedto an all-metal wall plate that is mounted into a single-gang wall box.The wall box must be completely square as the MC-16.5 provides noplay once installed. The standard wall plates available for the MC-16.5 are white and black anodized. Custom wall plates are availablein brass, chrome, black chrome. The MC-16.5 is also ideal forpainting in a clear anodized wall plate. Additional custom metalfinishes such as gold-plated, nickel, and bronze are also available.

3 MC-1600 Keypad - The MC-1600 Keypad is fits into a double-gang box and providesslightly larger buttons than the MC-16.5 and MC-1676. These buttons incorporate anLED which indicates source selection when lit. To the left side of the MC-1600 is awindow which contains 8 LEDs which are used to backlight a "film legend" which has thesource names written on it. The "film legend" is an exposed piece of film with the sourcenames (6 letters max) written in clear letters such that they illuminate when the LEDbehind them is lit. The standard "film legend" reads: FM1, FM2, CD1, CD2, CASS,LASER, VCR, DSS. When using this keypad and a source format different from thelisting above, a "custom legend" fee will be added to your order typically $100 for the filmand $10 per keypad. The MC-1600 is fitted to an all-metal wall plate that is mounted intoa double-gang wall box. The wall box must be completely square as the MC-1600provides no play once installed. The standard wall plates available for the MC-1600 arewhite and black anodized. Custom wall plates areavailable in brass, chrome, black chrome. The MC-1600is also ideal for painting in a clear anodized wall plate.Additional custom metal finishes such as gold-plated,nickel, and bronze are also available.

4 MC-1609 IR Keypad - The MC-1609 is both a keypad,infrared receiver, and infrared decoder in one. The onlyIR codes that will operate the MC-1609 are from the MC-009 hand-held IR remote control. The MC-1609 has thesame characteristics as the MC-1600 above regarding"film legend", wall plates, and box size. The MC-1609also incorporates an IR receiver and decoder. While the IR receiver is used to acceptIR codes from an MC-009, the on-board decoder converts the MC-009's IR signals tofunction commands directly inside the MC-1609. Thus, all you need to do to provide IRcontrol for a particular room is to install the MC-1609 on the same keypad wiring as anyother ADA keypad. The MC-1609 also permits IR repeating of source components usingtheir original hand-held remote controls.

9 MC-1616 All Weather Outdoor Control -The MC-1616 is designed to be mountedand left outside without a box cover. TheMC-1616 should be mounted in a Mulberry30601 Waterproof three-gang electrical box.The MC-1616 incorporates rubber buttoncaps and is mounted on an all-metal wallplate in white. Sources and keypad func-tions are silk-screened in black on the whiteplate which is then coated for protection ofthe screening. The standard format for theMC-1616-M (Millennium) is:

FM1, FM2, CD1, CD2, CASS, LASER, VCR, DSS

If your source format differs from the above format, a custom silk-screened plate willneed to be created. Each custom plate carries a surcharge of $120.00.

10 MC-0016 Basic Hand-Held IR Remote Control - The MC-0016 isa hand-held infrared remote control designed to operate theMillennium System. The MC-0016 is made of black plastic andincorporates dual IR emitters for a power IR signal. As with all ADAkeypads, the buttons on the MC-0016 are interchangeable. TheMC-0016 must be used in conjunction with the IRD-1600.

The suggested wallplate for the IRD-1600 is a Decora type plate whichwill house the IR filter lens. The IRD-1600 canoperate on six wires. For IR repeating, a seventhwire will be required.

12 PI-1600 Phone Interface - The PI-1600 is a telephone interface that turns a telephone,operating on a standard one or two line system, into a control. Since the PI-1600 hasboth a telephone input and output with line buffer, several PI-1600s can be used in asingle home. The PI-1600 is accessed once a telephone is picked up and the "#" buttonis pressed. The user will hear a distinctive "ADA" tone. Should the "#" button be pressedwhile there is someone on the line, the caller will be placed on hold. While the user hasthe ADA tone, the buttons on the telephone will raise or lower volume levels, select anyof the eight sources, mute the room, turn the room off, or shut down the entire system.The PI-1600 will automatically time-out of the ADA toneor can be turned off by repressing the "#" button. ThePI-1600 is also ideal for outdoor areas when the user isoutside with a cordless telephone.

Programming Source IR CodesThe Millennium includes an on-board source IR learning circuit which is capable of acceptinga total of 36 IR codes. The first four sources of the system can learn five codes each and thelast four sources can learn four codes each. The programming of the sources and subsequenttesting verification of the sources is best done while front and rear access of the Millennium areeasy to get to. ADA recommends bench programming and testing of the IR codes prior to finalinstallation although it is possible to load IR codes while the Millennium is installed in the rack.

Note: When several Millenniums are used within one system, only the first Millennium isprogrammed as the additional Millennium Slave Units do not require any programming.

Prior to programming the IR codes into the Millennium, make certain that the Millennium is onand that the source hand-held remote controls have fresh batteries. To program sources followthese steps:

1 Turn the Millennium on by pressing a room button and then anysource button.

2 Press the source button on the front of the Millennium that youwish to program.

3 Press the PGM (Program) button on the rear of the Millennium.The PGM LED indicator will be lit while in the "Program" mode.

Note: The Millennium will automatically time out of the programmode after approximately 60 seconds. If this occurs the PGMLED will go off. To re-enter the program mode, simply pressthe PGM button again.

4 Select the source function you wish to program into the Millennium andpress and hold the corresponding function button on the front of theMillennium.

5 While the Millennium's transport button is being depressed onthe front of the Millennium, aim the hand held remote at adistance of about 6 inches to the Millennium's IR window on theback of the Millennium. Press the button on the IR remote forthe function you wish to learn. The OK LED will flash when thecode has been programmed.

Note: If the ER (Error) LED flashes you can attempt to reprogram the Millennium. Try movingthe hand-held remote closer or farther away from the Millennium's IR window. Pleasenote, that the Millennium's IR circuitry is designed for IR codes in the 40KHz carrier rangeand that not all IR remote controls operate at this speed.

6 Once you have programmed the first function into the Millennium, continue program-ming the remaining functions for this source by repeating steps 4 and 5.

Note: While the four primary transport functions apply to all eight sources, afifth function, associated to repeated pressing of the source buttononce selected, is available for the first four sources. This function isprogrammed as the primary four functions are, by pressing and holding the sourcebutton while the IR code is programmed into the Millennium. Thus, while programmingthe first four sources it is suggested to program the fifth function at the same time.

7 Once you have programmed the functions for the first source, proceed to program thesecond source by simply pressing the next source button on the front of the Millennium.This procedure does not require you to exit the programming mode. Should this occur,simply press the PGM button to enter the programming mode.

8 When you have finished programming all your sources into the Millennium, press thePGM button to exit the program mode. The PGM LED will turn off once you have exitedthe program mode.

Testing Programmed IR CodesAfter you have programmed all eight sources into the Millennium, you can verify the functionsproviding the source components are available. To verify the programming:

1 Connect an IR flasher to the Millennium's IR output jack andaim it (stick it) at the front of the first component you wish totest.

2 Make certain that you are no longer in the program mode bymaking certain that the PGM LED is off. If it is on, press thePGM button to exit the program mode.

3 Select the source button that this source's IR codes were programmed into on the frontof the Millennium.

4 Press the transport functions on the front of the Millenniumone at a time and verify the components response to eachcode. With each press of a transport function that wasprogrammed correctly, the Millenniums IR LED will flashindicating that an IR signal was sent out of the Millennium.

Note: If the source you are testing is one of the first four sources and you have programmeda fifth function on the source button (by pressing and holding the source button whilelearning in a code), you can test this function as well by pressing the source button.

5 After you have tested the first source, connect the second source to the IR flasher andpress the corresponding source button on the front of the Millennium.

Trouble-Shooting IR ProgrammingIf you are having problems verifying the IR programming with the sources and the Millennium,one of the following may be the cause:

1 Make certain that the source component is loaded with source materials (i.e. CDs,cassette tapes, laser discs, etc.)

2 Make certain that the IR flasher is located over the IR receiver of the source component.

3 Have a few spare IR flashers handy as some flashers may not function even though theyappear new and unused.

4 If no IR LED indicator on the back of the Millennium lights up, the IR flasher is dead (open).

5 Make certain that the source component you are testing has been programmed into thesource button selected on the front of the Millennium.

6 Make certain that the source component is set to the proper IR setting. Some sourceshave multiple IR addresses. While you may have entered the codes for one address,the component itself may be set to an alternate address.

7 If you are using an unusual source component, consult with its owner's manual to seeif the IR remote's carrier level is far above the 40KHz IR range that the Millenniumoperates in.

IRS-8 IR Splitting to Multiple SourcesThe IRS-8 permits the single IR output of the Millennium to be split to up to eight sourcecomponents. To connect the IRS-8 to the sources and the Millennium, follow these steps.

1 Obtain an 1/8" male-to-malemini-phono jack (mono).

2 Plug this 1/8" male-to-malemini-jack into the Millennium'sIR Output port and the IRS-8'sIR Input port.

3 Connect the IR emitters (flash-ers) to each source compo-nent making certain that yourare placing the flasher overthe component's IR receiver.

4 Plug the IR emitter's 1/8" mini-jack into any one of the IRS-8's IR Output ports.

MIRR-8 IR Routing to Multiple SourcesThe MIRR-8 connects to sources in the same manner as the IRS-8. ADA suggests usingstandard IR flashers with the 1/8" male mini-jack. Up to eight sources can be connected to theMIRR-8. The MIRR-8 has two connections to the Millennium. The first connection, like the IRS-8, is a 1/8" male mini-jack to 1/8" male mini-jack, from the Millennium's IR Output to the MIRR-

8's IR Input. This wire carries the IRcommands from the Millennium to theMIRR-8. The second connection pro-vides the MIRR-8 with its steering logic.This connection is made using a 50 pinribbon cable (provided by ADA) and goesfrom the Millennium to the MIRR-8. Whenusing multiple Millenniums, the 50 pinribbon cable will have additional connec-tors permitting it to be run between allMillenniums and the MIRR-8.Please note, that when using the MIRR-8, no IR repeating is possible throughthe MC-1609 Keypad or IRD-1600.

Source Line-Level AudioConnections

The Millennium can operate with up to eight sourcecomponents which connect directly to the Millen-nium. When using multiple Millenniums, only thefirst Millennium has a "Line Driver" module whichnot only contains the audio input circuit board butalso the IR learning circuit board. As multipleMillenniums are connected together via a 50 pinribbon cable called the System Bus, the additionalMillenniums (Slave Units) receive the audio signalsfrom the first Millennium.

IR Signal Control Problems

Depending on the various Millennium System ac-cessories you are using, there may arise a need tomodify the Millennium's circuitry to best provide IRcomponent control to your source devices. Twomodifications exist. To access these modifications,you will need to slowly pull out the Audio Input/IRController board from the Millennium. This board iseasily removed by unscrewing the four screws thathold this board and its back plate into position on therear of the Millennium. Once the screws are re-moved, slowly pull the board out. The control pinsyou need to access are located toward the board'smounting plate. Therefore, you don not need to pullthe board out more than 2 inches.

A When using the MC-0016 or MC-009 IRRemote Controls, I can activate the Millenniumfunctions (source selection and volume control) butI cannot control the source's transport commands,even though these transport commands work per-fectly from the Millennium hardwired keypads.

In this case, the sources are seeing two IR codes which fall on top of each other. The first codethey see is the IR command instructing the Millennium to release the appropriate sourcetransport command and the second function is the actual IR code for that source. In this event,,the source's IR receiver gets activated with the first command and does not deactivate longenough to see the second command as a distinct signal. Thus, the source thinks it is seeinga non-appropriate IR command. To rectify this problem, the Millennium permits you to engagea light delay between the instruction command to the Millennium to release the appropriatecode and the actual release of that code. To engage this delay, pull the jumper pin marked "A"on this diagram. Please note, that all component transport commands, whether from a keypador Millennium IR remote control, will activate after the button is pressed (delayed).

B If you are experiencing problems controlling components via a Millennium IR remotecontrol and your are not using any of the Millennium IR Receivers (MC-1609 or IRD-1600) forIR repeating (pass through of the source's original remote control), you can deactivate theMillennium's ability to IR repeat by pulling the jumper pin marked "B" on this diagram.

As multiple Millenniums are connected together via a 50 pin ribbon cable called theSystem Bus, the additional Millenniums (Slave Units) receive the audio signals from the firstMillennium.

Multiple Millenniums - Installation of the System Bus

The Millennium is uniquely designed to be expandable to up to 36 zones using a maximum ofsix Millenniums. While this flexibility typically exceeds the requirements of the most commonsystem, you may need to provide a system with 12 or 18 zones of audio.

The main (master) Millennium, with six zones, can have additional Millenniums connected toit. The additional Millenniums do not require the source component audio input board or thesource IR controller board because the master Millennium already has these circuits built-in.Subsequently, the additional Millenniums (slave units) will have a blank plate were theseconnectors are found on the master Millennium. All Millenniums are then connected togetherusing a 50 pin ribbon cable (System Bus) provided with the system.

The System Bus (50 pin ribbon cable) carries source selection commands, balanced line-levelaudio, source selection conformation feedback, and system on/system off status. This cleanand professional interconnect between multiple Millenniums makes this system ideal, not onlyfor small six room projects but also for the larger multi-room systems as well. No longer will youneed to split the source components audio line-level output to connect multiple mainframeservers. Best of all, the master Millennium provides a boost to standard audio line-levelpermitting up to six Millenniums to be connected together on one system.

When installing several Millenniums, you will plug each Millennium into its own wall AC outlet.ADA suggests using one 15 Amp - 20 Amp circuit per two Millenniums. The AC cords whichconnect the Millennium to the AC outlets is provided with each Millennium in a U.S. male ACversion.

Note: When using more thanone Millennium, you mustuse either the ACC-48 orASU-10 for source ACSwitching.

Source AC Connection to the Millennium

Source AC switching is a standard options with the Millennium in that sources need not be onwhile the system is off. The Millennium even provides two options to permit independent ACswitching per source based solely on usage. Thus while FM 1 is being used, all others sourceswill remain off until they are selected. This will preserve the life of the source component whilepermitting sources with "timer-play" settings to automatically engage into play once a sourceis first selected. While tuners typically will turn on once plugged into an AC outlet, sources suchas CD changers and cassette players will need to be capable of "timer play". If you are usingsources which do not include "timer play", the user will need to press the ">" (play) button afterthe source is selected.

Option 1 - Basic Source ACThe Millennium has three options for ACcontrol of source components. The mostbasic form of AC control is built into theMillennium and turns on all sources atonce when any one room is turned on.While sources such as tuners, CD players,cassette players, and laser disc playerswill operate well with this function, sourcessuch as VCRs or DSS devices may needto constantly be plugged into an active ACoutlet (VCRs to maintain the correct time,DSS devices for continued programming).

In this option, you will need to acquire anEIC male to standard US female AC con-vertor plug and a power strip. The conver-tor plug is connected to the Millennium'sswitched AC outlet and the power strip isplugged into standard female connectoron the convertor plug. All sources whichwill have their AC switched by the Millen-nium will plug directly into the power strip.

Source AC Connections to the Millennium (cont.)

For more advanced AC switching of sources such that sources engage only as needed, ADAprovides two options, the ACC-48 and the ASU-10. The ACC-48 is a black box which can belocated behind the equipment rack and each ACC-48 can trigger four outlets only as needed.The ACC-48 is designed to provide independent AC switching at a low price as compared tothe rack-mounted ASU-10. While one ACC-48 will switch up to four sources, two ACC-48s canbe daisy-chained to provide independent AC switching for up to eight sources.

The ACC-48 has four AC Outlets and each outlet has eightjumper pins (shunting pins) which determine when thatparticular AC outlet is going to engage. Each outlet cantherefore be set to engage with one source or can engagewhen more than one source is selected. Therefore, whileyou may have eight sources of which six could have their ACswitched, you may opt to use only one ACC-48 to keep thebudget low. As an example using the following sourceformat:

FM 1, FM 2, CD 1, CD 2, CASS, LASER, VCR, DSS

Since the VCR and DSS will need AC at all times and since the Laser disc player could alsobe plugged directly into a wall outlet leaving only five sources to be switched by the ACC-48.While the two CD changers and the one cassette changer will need to be switched indepen-dently (to make full use of their "timer play" function, the two tuners can be switched on the sameAC outlet. Thus, you can provide advanced AC switching without purchasing two ACC-48s orone ASU-10.

To set the ACC-48 for operation as described in the example above, you will need to set1. Two jumper connectors on pins 1 & 2 (sources 1 & 2) for the first AC outlet (#1),

to which the two tuners (FM 1 & FM 2) are connected through an AC outlet strip.2. One jumper connector on pin 3 for CD 1 (source 3) on AC outlet #2.3. One jumper connector on pin 4 for CD 2 (source 4) on AC outlet #3.4. One jumper connector on pin 5 for CASS (source 5) on AC outlet #4.

Source AC Connection Option 2 - Using One ACC-48

In this configuration, using theexample described on the pre-vious page, the two tunersare connected to an AC powerstrip which is plugged into anoutlet set to engage with ei-ther source 1 or source 2.Thus, whenever FM 1 or FM 2are selected, both tuners willturn on. The remaining threeaudio sources are eachconnected to their ownswitched AC outlet. Thethree video sources willnot have their AC trig-gered by the MillenniumSystem.

The ACC-48 connectsdirectly to the Millen-nium through a 9 pinribbon cable providedwith the ACC-48. Thiscable has two 9 pin "D"type connectors, one oneach end of the cableand this cable plugs intoboth the Millennium andthe ACC-48.

Source AC Connection (cont.)

Source AC Switching Option 3 - 2 ACC-48sThis option extends thefunctionality of the systemas described in Option 2such that each source turnsreceives AC only when se-lected with the exception ofthe VCR. Thus, each tunerwill turn on and off only asneeded. Furthermore, theDSS and laser disc playerwill receive AC only whenselected. This will not en-gage these units (turn themon) since most such deviceshave a soft-contact powerswitch which resets to offwhen the unit is unplugged.However, this AC switchingfunction still provides auto-matic power off in thatwhen, for example, some-one is finished using the la-ser disc player, the laserdisc will turn completely offwhen not selected.

The 9 pin ribbon cablewhich connects the Millen-nium to both ACC-48s isprovided with the system.

The diagram below details the jumper pin settings such that each source AC outlet has onlyone jumper pin connector in place corresponding to that sources input position on the Millen-nium.

Source AC Connection Option 4 - ASU-10

The ASU-10 AC Switching Unit is designed to provide the same "only as needed" AC switch-ing that two ACC-48s provide. However, the ASU-10 is rack mountable and thus, more pref-erable for some installations. Furthermore, the ASU-10 features an additional two AC outletswhich turn on with the ASU-10's main power switch (front panel switch). The Millennium canbe plugged into either of these two AC outlets and the client can simply turn off the ASU-10'spower switch while the home is vacant (vacation switch).

The ASU-10 connects to the Millennium using a 9 pin ribbon cable with two "D" type connec-tors, one on each end. Sources connect to the ASU-10 however special care needs to usedwhen plugging in the sources such that sources 1 through 4 connect backwards. The chartbelow details the source numbers (on the Millennium) and their respective AC outlet as la-beled on the ASU-10.

External Power Amplifier - OptionsWhile the Millennium's built in amplifier is quite powerful and capable of handling several pairsof speakers (stable to 2Ω), it may be necessary to provide additional amplification for a zoneor several zones should require more power and/or be driving a load below the Millennium'scapabilities.

A If you require serious power for more thantypical background music, ADA recom-mends using the PF-250 Power Amplifier.The PF-250 provides 150 Watts per chan-nel at 8Ω and 250 Watts per channel at 4Ω.The PF-250 is stable down to 2Ω. The PF-250 is fan cooled and provides high-currentoutput which more effectively drives any speaker, especially in-wall speakers.

B If you are running several speaker pairswhere the overall impedance is below 2Ω(i.e. 6 pair of in-wall speakers) or you arerunning several speaker pairs where morepower is required (i.e. 4 pair of outdoor rockspeakers), ADA recommends using the PF-201 Low Impedance Power Amplifier. ThePF-201 is stable below 1/2Ω and can run over 16 pairs of 8Ω speaker in parallel (32speakers). The PF-200, while providing 60 Watts per channel at 8Ω, kicks out over 240Watts per channel at 1/2Ω. The PF-201 is fan cooled and provides high-current outputwhich more effectively drives any speaker, especially in-wall speakers.

C If you are require more power, are runninga speaker load down to 1Ω, and have lim-ited rack space, ADA recommends using the PT-125 Single Rack Space PowerAmplifier. The PT-125 Provides 50 Watts per channel at 8Ω, 100 Watts per channel at4Ω, and is stable down to 1Ω. The PF-125 is fan cooled and provides high-current outputwhich more effectively drives any speaker, especially in-wall speakers.

D If you are operating one or several passive sub-woofers, ADA recommends using aparametric bass amplifier which operates in the 20Hz to 200Hz frequency range.Special front panel controls permit adjustment of the bass level, frequency roll-off point,and the bandwidth of the roll-off curve. Thus, you can custom tune the bass signal afterthe room has been furnished. ADA manufacturers three different parametric bassamplifiers designed for different power requirements.

PBA-50 - 50 Watts Mono at 8Ω - Stable to2Ω - Single Rack Space - Fan Cooled

PBA-150 - 150 Watts Mono at 8Ω - Stable to2Ω - Triple Rack Space - Fan Cooled

E If you require a combination of both in-creased amplification and a bass amplifierwith parametric equalization, ADA recom-mends using the MPA-6 Six Channel Ampli-fier with Parametric Bass Amplifier. Whilethe MPA-6 is traditionally a home theater amplifier (five channels and a sub channel),using two channels for right and two channels for left with the subwoofer as a fifthchannel, provides exceptional sound quality and power in a single chassis. The MPA-6 provides 55 Watts at 8Ω by five channels, 90 Watts per channel at 4Ω by five channels,and 150 Watts mono for the bass stable down to 2Ω.

Power Amplifier Automatic AC Switching & Installation

The Millennium System provides several built-in features, one of which is, the ability to easilyintegrate an external power amplifier and have it automatically turn on when zone is turned on.ADA recommends using the ACC-3 Low Voltage Triggered Switched AC Outlet. The ACC-3has two AC outlets which switch on and off together. The ACC-3 can handle a 15 Amp load.

The following diagram details the connection of the ACC-3 to the system such that it receivesa low voltage signal, emanating from the Millennium, when a specific zone is turned on. Thissignal is derived from pin #1 (ground) and pin #5 (+5VDC) on the WH-8000 wire harness. Thesetwo wires are connected on top of the keypad's wiring on the WH-8000. Whenever a specificzone is on, regardless of source selection, pin #5 is hot. This signal in turn will cause the ACC-3's two AC outlets to turn on and subsequently, the power amplifier plugged into the ACC-3 willturn on (providing its power switch is left in the on position). When the room turns off, the ACC-3 will turn the power amplifier off.

Please note, that when using an external power amplifier, you will want that zone on theMillennium to provide a "variable' line-level audio signal to the amplifier. Make certain that thejumper pins (shunting plugs) are positioned to the left in the "variable" position.

Connection of the WH-8000 (or SODC-8) to the ACC-3The diagram below details the connection of the ACC-3 to the WH-8000 (or SODC-8). Sinceyou are running a two conductor low voltage cable to the ACC-3, it is easy to locate the poweramplifier and ACC-3 in a room other than the system mainframe. Most typically, you will wantto locate the ACC-3 and power amplifier in proximity to the equipment rack to minimize noiseand ground loops that may occur when running audio line-level long distances.

Wiring Harnesses for the Millennium System

ADA provides two wire harnesses for the Millennium System with removable screw terminalconnectors. These wire harnesses are essential to proper equipment termination and permityou to tone out and connect all keypad wires prior to installation of the equipment rack.Furthermore, these wire harnesses act as a solid ground platform for keypad control cables andshould be terminated on a real earth ground. The remaining connections, from the wire harnessto the system components, is accomplished via flat 14 pin ribbon cables called the Zone Bus.

Standard Keypad WiringThe "MC-1600" Series keypads wire on a 12 conductor/20 gauge with foil shield control cable.Typically, only ten wires are used providing you with two spare wires.

Wiring for the MC-1609 & IR RepeatingWhen using the MC-1609 Keypad with Built-In IR Receiver, an eleventh wire can be used toprovide IR repeating to sources.

Wiring for the IRD-1600 & IR RepeatingThe IRD-1600 IR Receiver and Decoder should be wired with the same control cable as all otherrooms in the event that a keypad is added to the room. However, the IRD-1600 requires onlysix wires for system control and seven wires should IR repeating be required.

All keypad or IR control cables should be individual home runs. Two wire harness choices areavailable.

WH-8000 Wire HarnessThe more basic wire harness is the WH-8000 Wire Harness. This wire harness has screwtermination connectors for up to eight keypads or infrared receivers and one WH-8000 shouldbe used for every eight keypads.

SODC-8 Wire HarnessThe SODC-8 Wire Harness is larger in size than the WH-8000 yet still provides wire terminationfor up to eight keypads. It includes advanced diode lightning protection. Furthermore, theSODC-8 can individually program each "MC-1600" Series keypad to flash its source buttonLED indicators when that keypad is off while other rooms are listening to a source.

Example:If the room you are in is off while a second room is listening to CD 1 and a third room islistening to FM 1, the keypad for the room that is off would intermittently have the CD 1and FM 1 buttons flash indicating that these sources are in use. This permits a user toapproach a keypad and determine which sources are currently being used elsewherein the home. You could then choose to listen to those sources or select an unusedsource. For keypads connected to an SODC-8, once a source button is selected on akeypad, its LED lights up and the flashing stops. This may be useful for some rooms,but may become annoying in bedrooms. The SODC-8 permits each keypad's termina-tion to be set to flash or not flash. This setting can only be accomplished on the SODC-8 prior to final installation.

Zone Bus - Intermediate Crimp-On Connectors

The Zone Bus 14 Pin Ribbon Cable is important in that it connects many components whichare zone specific. Within the Millennium System's configuration, the zone bus will connect thekeypads' wire harness to the Millennium. However, in some systems, it may be necessary foradditional devices to track a zones control function, in particular a zone's source selection andon/off status. In such cases, intermediate connections will need to be made on the zone buscable.

All devices which could accept the zone bus have a 14 Pin Male Connector on them. TheMillennium, WH-8000 Wire Harness, & SODC-8 Wire Harness, ZS-1 Zone Splitters, PI-1600Telephone Interface, and VSU-8 Video-follow-audio Switching Unit all have 14 pin male zonebus connectors. The zone bus cable is provided with 14 Pin Female Connectors on both endsof the cable. ADA will provide a bag of intermediate connectors which are crimped onto the zonebus at convenient points. These connectors will permit other devices to plug onto the zone bus.

Prior to crimping the intermediate connections, determine the distance the connections shouldbe from either end of the 10' ribbon cable permitting enough slack to connect all the componentsrequired. If, for example, the Millennium and VSU-8 are mounted next to each other in theequipment rack, you will only need a short connection between one end of the ribbon cable andthe first interconnect to reach from the Millennium to the VSU-8. The remaining length couldbe used in full to reach the WH-8000 Wire Harness mounted behind the equipment rack.

The crimp-on connectors are in two parts, the front female connector and the back board. Tocrimp on the connector, lay the ribbon cable on a flat surface and position the back boardunderneath the ribbon cable at the predetermined distance. Determine the position of the lock-out keys on both ends of the ribbon cable and note the side and direction of the lock out keywith respect to the ribbon cable. Use a color or color band on the ribbon cable to determine theproper polarity. Place the front female connector in place with the lock out key in the correctposition and line it up to the back board using the back board's sleeve as a guide. Make certainthat the connector is lined-up correctly such that, when it is crimped, the connection pins piercethe ribbon cable on the wires rather than in between the wires. Once you have alined theconnectors, press the back board and front female board together. A pair of pliers may beneeded to fully connect the crimp-on intermediate connectors.

All zone bus connectors need to be firmly pressed into place to insure that proper contacts aremade. Again, it is critical that the female and male connectors have a polarity pin in place,preventing you from inadvertently plugging the female connector in upside-down.

If you improperly install the crimp-on connectors on a zone bus ribbon cable, most functionsspecific to that zone will not operate. It is important to check the ribbon cable, for both continuityand shorts between ribbon cable wires, prior to installing the zone bus ribbon cable. If wireson the zone bus are shorted together, the zone will not function and the equipment may bedamaged. ADA strongly suggests building a system zone by zone, checking the zones functionas you install it. ADA components may be able to sustain a dead short on the ribbon cable fora short time before they in fact fail. Therefore, even though a Millennium looks like it is workingcorrectly, all functions should be tested, using the control built into the Millennium's front panel.If something appears wrong, shut down the system and verify the zone bus ribbon cable.

ZS-1 Zone Splitters

ZS-1 Zone Splitters are electronically controlled autoformersand speaker relays. They permit two or more rooms on thesame zone (same Millennium Room #) to have their speak-ers turn on individually when that room's keypad selects asource. Furthermore, while the zones overall volume level isset on the millennium's front panel, rooms with ZS-1s canadjust their local volume directly on the room's keypad usingthe Volume Up and Volume Down buttons that typicallycontrol the Millennium's volume level. No additional rotary volume control will be required forlocal volume. Each room on a split zone will require its own ZS-1. Thus if three rooms are beingsplit on one zone, you must order three ZS-1's.

The ZS-1 Zone Splitter is electronically controlled and operates exactly as a rotary 50 Wattautoformer and speaker on/off switch. If a room is off, its speakers will be off. When a roomis turned on, by pressing a source button, its speakers will turn on. Pressing the Volume Upor Volume Down buttons will begin to advance and lower the ZS-1 through ten volume steps.These ten steps are the tap off points on the ZS-1's autoformer. When using ZS-1's, the mastervolume, set on the Millennium'sfront panel, is usually set to thehighest possible volume level forthe largest size room. The roomscan then adjust volume down fromthat point. Because the ZS-1 islike a 50 Watt autoformer, thesame considerations as to im-pedance load (number of speakerpairs) and volume levels (ampli-fied power output) that apply to a50 Watt autoformer, apply to theZS-1. Thus, a ZS-1 is perfect tosplit zones where volume levelsare not blasting and impedanceloads don't go below 4Ωs (twopair of 8Ω speakers.)

Note: Because the ZS-1 controlcircuit current draw ex-ceeds that capable of be-ing provided by the Millen-nium, an external powersupply will need to be pro-vide to the ZS-1's. Whenusing external power sup-plies (12VDC @ 500mA),ADA suggests using onepower supply for every twoZS-1s.

Leave the first 2 ribbon wires in tact. Cut the second two wires (3&4). Make certain that the wires being cut line up on the same side as the "V" notch (polarity notch) as the connector going into the Millennium. This will isolate the power supply from the Millennium. Power for the ZS-1's is now provided by the external transformer.

A ZS-1's wiring is simple and is identical to other zones which are not split. The ZS-1s aretypically located behind the equipment rack and can be mounted against a wall. Each room'sspeaker wire and keypad cable is an individual home run. Each room's speaker wire terminateson its respective ZS-1 and the Millennium's (or other amplifier) speaker output is paralleled toboth ZS-1 speaker inputs.

Special Note:When using the ZS-1, in the event theMillennium looses power (AC), theMillennium's internal volume control willreset to a zero level. The user will needto reset that zone's master volume fromthe front of the Millennium. If powerdrops are frequent, ADA suggest using aUPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply - 1.5A)to provide short-term power to the Mil-lennium which will maintain the room'svolume levels during these short powerdrop outs.

Multiple Parallel Keypad Connections

In some zones, you may require more than one keypad for operation of that zone. This maybe quite common in outdoor areas or rooms which are open to each other. While such a zonewill have more than one keypad, all keypads on that zone will operate perform the samefunctions. For example, if one keypad selects volume up, the volume will raise for the entirezone. You can augment the users abilities by providing a local volume control for each roomon the zone. While the ZS-1 Zone Splitter will also provide this function, the fact that only tworooms (two ZS-1s per Millennium) can use the ZS-1 and/or the added cost of the ZS-1, it maybe more effective to provide local rotary type volume controls.

When using more than one keypad per zone, ADA recommends running each keypad's controlcable individually home to the system mainframe. This will permit some flexibility should theclient wish to expand the system at some later date and will also provide for easy trouble-shooting should a problem exist with one of the keypad wires.

When using more than one keypad per zone, ADA recommends that each keypad's controlcable terminate directly on the keypad wire harness (WH-8000 or SODC-8). As the wireharness's screw terminal connector provides enough space for one control wire per screwposition, it will be difficult tosqueeze more than one wire onany one screw position. Thus,to make for the cleanest instal-lation, make certain that eachkeypad has a port on the WH-8000. The WH-8000 (andSODC-8) have space for eight(8) keypads already. If you havemore than eight keypads perMillennium in your system, ADArecommends purchasing addi-tional wire harnesses.

After you have connected thekeypads' control wires to theirown wire harness connector,you can simply use the 14 pinribbon cable (Zone Bus Cable)to connect these common zonekeypads to their respective Mil-lennium control port. The 14 pinzone bus cable has a connectoron each end and you will needto crimp on additional connec-tors for each additional keypad.This process is discussed onpages 22 & 23.

VSU-8 Video-follow-audio Switching Unit

When designing a Millennium System, you may choose to provide composite video distributionthroughout the house with the addition of the VSU-8. The VSU-8 is capable of switching asmany as eight composite video signals to as many as eight zones. Several VSU-8s can be usedtogether to switch video to more than eight zones, one VSU-8 for every eight zones. If you areinstalling a twelve zone system, and four or more of the twelve zones do not have a TV set, youwould need only one VSU-8.

The eight composite video inputs correspond to the eight audio inputs on the Millennium. Forexample, if your system has the following source format:


the composite video signal from the LASER disc, VCR, DSS box will feed into the VSU-8 onsource inputs 6, 7, and 8 respectively while their audio signals feed into the Millennium with therest of the audio sources. The remaining video inputs on the VSU-8 are unused as theycorrespond to audio-only sources. The diagram on the following page details the connectionof sources to both the VSU-8 and Millennium.

The VSU-8 is ideal for systems requiring some type of video distribution. When usingMillennium Keypads, the keypad's source transport functions can operate Laser Disc Players,VCRs, and DSS boxes without having to carry their hand-held remote control to other rooms.When using an MC-1609 Keypad with IR or IRD-1600 IR Receiver & Decoder, you could alsocontrol the video sources from their remote controls providing you have wired these devicesfor IR repeating.

The VSU-8 is only ideal for systems when the source configuration can include the videosources within the central primary eight sources (the eight sources that plug into theMillennium). Therefore, if your system uses seven audio only sources and three central videosources, other video switching options will need to be implemented since typically, the audiosources are more important than the video sources (with respect to central distribution).

Several applications exist regarding how the central video sources are played to the remoterooms. These include, directly running the composite video signal to a projector while the audiois processed in a surround sound decoder, running the composite video signal to a TV'sexternal video input along with a stereo line level signal, running the composite video signal toa TV's external video input without an audio line level signal, or modulating the video sourcesonto an open channel number.

Using the VSU-8 for Composite Video Distribution to All Zones with TVs.

If you are planning on distributing composite video signals to remote TV sets, you may also wishto run a stereo line level cable to these TVs in addition to the composite video cable. The audiosignal is run from the Millennium, using that zone's audio line-level output (set to fixed) to theTV. The line-level signal is required because many installations with local TVs, incorporatesome type of automatic TV switching override such that when the TV is turned on, the speakersin that room trip over to the output of the TV set automatically. If no line level signal were runto these TVs, you would only receive the central video source's video signal without audio.

ADA recommends running both the composite video signal and audio line level to all TVlocations while providing a local TV override. This way, when viewing either a signal from theTV's built-in tuner, a local VCR (plugged into the TV on "External Video 1"), or a central videosource (plugged into the TV on "External Video 2"), the TV's audio signal plays through the TV'sspeakers (if on) for localized dialogue dispersion and through the room's speakers for a stereosurround effect. Both the TV's speakers and room's speakers will track volume, bass, treble,and etc. levels together using the TV's remote control. ADA provides several devices whichwill automatically switch the speakers over to the output of the TV whenever the TV is on. CCS-3 Current Sensing Speaker Switcher utilizes the TV's amplified output and the CCA-20 CurrentSensing Speaker Switcher and TV Amplifier incorporates a 20 Watt per channel TV amplifier.Either combination will permit the same sound and speaker arrays for the TV's tuner, local videosources, and central video sources.

If you are not using any automatic TV overrides, you may still wish to include the audio line-levelcable run to the TV such that the TV's internal speakers can provide audio from the central videosources. If new wiring is a problem, you can eliminate the line level audio signal to the TV andlisten to the central video source's audio signal through the room's speakers only.

Installation of the VSU-8 with the WH-8000 (or SODC-8)

The VSU-8 operates in conjunction with the zone controls which connect to the Millennium. Asa zone on the Millennium selects a source, from either the Millennium's front panel control ora room's keypad/IR control, the VSU-8 is told to track that selected source. This is individuallydone per each of the eight outputs on the VSU-8.

Each composite video output on the VSU-8 has a matching 14 Pin Ribbon Cable Control Input(Zone Bus connector). This connector, just as all other Zone Bus ports, has a lockout key whichwill prevent the 14 pin ribbon cable from being improperly inserted into the connector. Whenworking with the Millennium System and using a WH-8000 or SODC-8 wire harnesses for theZone Bus terminator, you will need to add a crimp-on 14 pin ribbon cable connector as wasdiscussed on pages 30 and 31. Since the Zone Bus is a zone's information highway, it doesnot matter which component plugs into which connector on the zone bus. Naturally, a singlezone bus is particular for a single zone and cross connecting ports on various components willcause one keypad to switch the wrong VSU-8 port or Millennium zone.

As a reminder, when placing the crimp-on connectors on a 14 pin ribbon cable Zone Bus, makecertain to verify the position of the connector with respect to the side of the ribbon cable andthe polarity of the lockout key. Also, make certain that the crimp-on connector perfectly piercesthe ribbon cable. A sloppy crimp-on connector will ground all control lines together, causingthe VSU-8 to lock up on a single source. Prolonged power on a zone bus with a shortedconnector will cause permanent damage to the Millennium. You should test each crimp-onconnection as it is made by verifying all switching control. If you experience peculiar switchingpatterns, shut down the system by turning off the Millennium and check the zone bus crimp-on connections.

Installing a VSU-8 In-Line with ZS-1 Zone Splitters

When connecting the VSU-8 in line with ZS-1 Zone Splitters, use the 14 pin ribbon cableconnection that runs from the Millennium to the Zone Splitter's Output ribbon cable port. Sinceall rooms on that zone track the same source, there is no need crimp each zone bus cablerunning to the input side of the ZS-1s. A single crimp on connection on the output side will do.If you have several TVs on a split zone, extra unused output ports on the VSU-8, and areexperiencing distortion problems when splitting a single VSU-8's output to several TVs, youmay choose to use additional unused ports on the VSU-8 for a single zone. Simply placeadditional crimp-on connectors in line to the first connector and parallel these connections tothe open ports you are intending on using on the VSU-8.

It is not unlikely, that while you may have twelve zones on a system, only some of those zonesmay incorporate a TV or projector. Therefore, not all zones need to connect to the VSU-8.When planning your system layout, predetermine how many VSU-8s you will need based onthe number of zones with TVs or projectors.

The Millennium System and Home TheatersThe Millennium System permits the inclusion of a home theater system on any zone butpresupposes that no ZS-1 Zone Splitters are used and any zone with a home theater standsas a single room-zone. You can include either a home theater receiver or high-end componenthome theater system. As with any high-end home theater decoder it is best to pass a fixed linelevel signal to the processor for both music, TV, and film. ADA's SSD-66 Dolby ProLogicSurround Sound Decoder, SSD-66THX LucasFilm Home THX Controller, or SSD-66 (5.1)Dolby Surround AC-3 Controller operate as a room's preamplifier while the Millennium for thatzone, merely acts as a source selector. This allows a user to select a source on the room'skeypad. Volume can then be controlled using the SSD-66's hand held remote control (SSD-66 REM). The PTM-6150 Home THX Six Channel Surround Sound Amplifier is illustrated inthe following diagrams. Other multi-channel power amplifiers are also available from ADAincluding the Delta-650, MPA-5, MPA-6, and MPA-500/BPA-500 High Powered Home TheaterAmplifiers (THX).

Option 1 - Discrete Surround Decoder and Amp Located Near TVThe most common application for a home theater system is based around a TV and local videosources with the surround sound decoder and surround sound amplifier located near the TVset. The video sources are plugged directly into the TV and the TV acts as both a video tunerand input selector for VCR and Laser Disc. These video sources are usually local to just thehome theater room. The surround decoder and surround sound amplifier are used forprocessing both the TV's output (including video sources) and the central Millennium System'saudio sources. ADA provides two devices, the CCS-4 and LLS-2, which work in conjunctionwith each other, permitting automatic sharing of the home theater decoder and amplifier withboth the central system and the local video system.

The CCS-4 is a both a current sensing device (which triggers its switched AC outlet and lowvoltage output) and also a low voltage sensing device (which only triggers its switched ACoutlet). The LLS-2 is an audio line level switcher which is triggered by a low voltage signal (fromthe CCS-4 when only the TV is turned on). Using these two products together permit the SSD-66 Decoder and PTM-6150 (Multi-Channel Surround Sound Amplifier) to automatically turn onwhen either the that zone on the Millennium or the TV are turned on. Furthermore, wheneverthe TV is turned on, its line level output will override that of the Millennium. When the TV isturned off, the line level input to the decoder will reset to the Millennium (music system). Pleasenote, that ADA recommends using the fixed line level outputs from both the TV and Millennium(set to fixed). When using the fixed line level outputs of the TV and Millennium, you will needto adjust the room's volume levels using the SSD-66's font panel buttons or handheld IR remotecontrol.

Option 2 - High Power System or Centrally Located Decoder and AmpThis application is ideal when all the equipment needs to be located at the central equipmentlocation or you are using a MPA-500 THX Multi-Channel Amplifier (or any other high poweramplification combination regardless of the location of the home theater equipment). Much likeOption 1, this option uses the LLS-2 and CCS-4. However, since the decoder and amp arelocated at the mainframe, an ACC-3 will be used to power the decoder and amplifierautomatically when either the TV or the that zone on the Millennium are turned on (for highpower systems the ACC-3 is used because it can handle 15 Amps while the CCS-4 only handles10 Amps). This combination of LLS-2, CCS-4, and ACC-3 operates the same way as Option1 with the amp and decoder engaging with either the TV or Millennium, where the TV overridesthe music system.

For IR control of the SSD-66 from theremote room, you will need a localADA IR receiver (MC-1609 or IRD-1600) with the IR repeating wire inplace. The Millennium will then passIR repeating signals to the IRS-8.

The IRS-8 in turn can repeat an IRsignal to the SSD-66 using a flasher.

Option 3- Projector with Central (Only) Video SourcesFor Millennium Systems with video sources among the eight possible central sources (usingthe VSU-8 for video-follow-audio switching), the following diagram permits the home theaterequipment to be located at the mainframe, in the home theater, or in a totally different location(i.e. a closet near the home theater room). When using an ACC-3, the SSD-66 and PTM-6150will automatically engage when the zone is turned on.

This illustration also indicates the use of a ZT-1 Zone Tracker. This device is included to monitorsource selection in the theater. It has a "DIP" switch bank with eight toggle switches. Theswitches in the "on" position indicate that when the sources numerically associated with thoseswitches are selected on the Millennium for only that zone, the ZT-1 turns on. When the ZT-1 is on, it can provide a contact closure or low-voltage signal which in turn can be used to engage

the projector. Thus, using theexample where the systemsources are:

FM 1, FM 2, CD 1, CD 2,CASS, LASER, VCR, DSS

When any of the three videosources are selected, the pro-jector will engage and displaythe selected source. Naturally,audio will also play through thehome theater system. If anaudio only source is selected,the home theater system willbe on but the projector will re-main off.

Option 4- Central and Local Video SourcesThis application is common for homes with more than one home theater, where the primaryhome theater system uses a projector which only accesses central video sources as in Option3, while a secondary home theater system (i.e. in the Master Bedroom) accesses both thecentral video sources, local TV's tuner, and perhaps a local VCR connected to and switchedby the TV.

As in Option 1, the CCS-4 and LLS-2 are used together to engage the decoder and amplifierwhen either the TV or the Millennium zone are turned on, with the TV audio overriding theMillennium's audio signal automatically. To access the central video sources on the TV, pressthe appropriate source button on the room's keypad and set the TV to "External Video Input 1".The VSU-8 will pass the corresponding video signal directly to the TV. The audio from theMillennium will need to be "Y" split to pass audio to both the LLS-2 (Normally Closed Input - for

Music) and to the TV ("ExternalVideo Input 1") because when-ever the TV is on, the LLS-2switches over to its NormallyOpen Input (Fixed Line Out of theTV). Although not shown in thisdiagram, the TV could also ac-cess a local video source (i.e.VCR) by passing this source intothe TV's "External Video Input 2".

Option 5- AV Surround Sound Receivers and Central AudioThis application is common for homes were the home theater system is comprised of a singlechassis AV surround sound receiver. In this option, the video sources are only connected tothe AV receiver while the audio sources are connected to the Millennium System for house-wide usage. In such systems, ADA recommends making the home theater room its own zoneon the Millennium and connecting a fixed audio line-level signal from the Millennium directly toan input on the AV receiver. This will prevent the unnecessary splitting of the line-level outputsfrom the audio sources to the both the Millennium and the AV receiver. It will also permit youto use a more sophisticated source AC controller on the Millennium System since theMillennium will be used to access audio sources, even in the home theater zone.

In this type of theater setup, control of audio only sources, including source selection andtransport control, can be accomplished from a keypad or more typically, a learning IR remotecontrol which will not only control the Millennium for that zone but also the AV receiver. Tochange from a video source to an audio source, the user would select the input on the AVreceiver which corresponds to the output from the Millennium and then select the sourceconnected to the Millennium.

If your AV receiver has a hard power switch, one that will keep the unit on when it is unpluggedfrom the wall and then plugged in again, the following diagram indicates the automatic switchingfunctions that can be accomplished when using a CCS-4. When either the TV or Millenniumzone are turned on, the AV receiver will automatically power up.

If the receiver does not maintain its on position when its AC cord is unplugged, the receiver willneed to be plugged into an AC outlet at all times. Using the diagram below as a guide, simplyomit the CCS-4 and connect the receiver's AC line cord directly to an AC outlet.

The ZT-1 Zone Tracker - Home Automation Made Easy

The ZT-1 Zone Tracker is designed to provide simplified home automation functions based ona particular zone's source selection. The ZT-1 receives its tracking information from thesystem's control line (zone bus) and connects to the WH-8000 Wire Harness (or SODC-8) muchlike a keypad. Since the screw terminal connectors on a WH-8000 are small and truly permitonly one wire per screw terminal hole, you may wish to use a separate open WH-8000 terminalport for the ZT-1. If the room operating the ZT-1 has a keypad, the zone bus 14 pin ribbon cablewill connect to both the terminal port for the keypad and the terminal port for the ZT-1 and thenconnect to the Millennium.

The ZT-1 has two screw terminal connectors on it, one ten pin connector which wires to the WH-8000 and one six pin connector which provides:

Pin 1 - Common Ground (-)Pin 2 - Normally Open Relay

Pin 3 - Normally Closed RelayPin 4 - Common (For Relays)

Pin 5 - 12V ConstantPin 6 - 12V Switched

Depending on your requirements, you can use the ZT-1 to open a relay, close a relay, provide12V DC, or switch 12V DC only when the ZT-1 engages. To select which sources the ZT-1triggers on, simply turn the DIP switch for that source number on. The DIP switch numberscorrespond to the sources as they are connected on the Millennium.

In most cases, the ZT-1 is very useful for providing advanced automatic switching in a hometheater room where the video and audio sources are completely selected on the Millennium.If your source format is:


the last three sources are video sources. Thus if the ZT-1 has DIP switches 6, 7, & 8 on,corresponding to the three video sources connected to the Millennium on inputs 6, 7, & 8, youcan open or close a relay and/or provide a low voltage signal when ever these sources areselected and thereby automatically engaging projectors, screens, curtains, and lights.

Installation of ADA Keypads

Most ADA Keypads are provided on a custom plate which is 1/8" thick. Typically, screwsprovided with these plates are 1" long. The plates do not provide any play once installed. Itis therefore essential that the box in which the keypad is mounted into is completely square.If the box is even slightly off-angle, the keypad, once installed will appear crooked.

Furthermore, the box used, should be checked against akeypad to make certain that the keypad and circuit board willfit into the box. The box should be close to flush with thesurface of the wall but should not extend beyond the surfaceof the wall. The plate should rest flush on top of the wall. Thedimension of an MC-1609's circuit board (double gangkeypad) 3.5" wide by 2.8 inches tall and will fit some double-gang masonry boxes but may not fit all types. For MC-1616All Weather Outdoor Keypads (triple gang keypad), ADAsuggests using a watertight masonry box such as the Mulberry 30601.

When installing a keypad, be extremely careful with the handling of the plate and screws. Theplates can easily be scratched if handled improperly.

When wiring the keypad, you can remove the screw terminal connector from the keypad's circuitboard and first connect the wire to the connector. The shield (or ground) wire is typicallycompletely exposed (without a jacket) and will require taping. This protection will prevent theground wire from making contact with circuit board traces once the keypad is installed. Sincethe other wires are not exposed when they are inserted into the connector, they will not requiretaping.

Rack Rail & Hardware andRack Mounting Source Components.

ADA makes available to dealers, custom cut rack railsections and rack hardware. Unlike most rack rail avail-able, ADA Rack Rail is 4.5" deep, capable of mountinginside the cabinet, not just along the front edge, but firmlyagainst a larger section of the cabinet's wall. Further-more, ADA's Rack Rail is not pre-threaded, but rather,has holes spaced at EIA Rack Mount Standard intervalsfor rack nuts which clip onto the rack rail. Thus, if a holeis stripped, the stripped rack nut clip can be removed anda new one can be inserted in its place. Furthermore, theclip-on rack nuts provide some play, permitting you to adjust the component as it is inserted intothe rack. ADA provides the rack nuts, rack screws, and rack washers by the dozen and rackrail by linear inch. Please note, if your rack height is 21 inches tall, you will need to order two21 inch rack rails for a total of 42 inches of rack rail.

If you wish to provide the same 1/8" thick qaulity plate finish for sources (and other non-ADAcomponents), complete with rack handles (some units cannot be rack mounted with handles),ADA can custom rack mount source components to match the look of the ADA rack ofequipment. These surround plates are custom cut to a component'sdimensions and are mounted to the plate itself, permitting easyinstallation into the rack using the functional rack handles to positionthe component into place. Unlike other rack plate manufacturers,components rack mounted by ADA are completely mounted to theplate and do not just sit on a shelf and slide through an opening.Also, because the plate is custom cut to the specific source compo-nent, the fit is much tighter than plates provided by other manufac-tures. To properly manufacture and mount the non-ADA compo-nents, ADA will require the sources in-house for a period of two tofour weeks. As with all ADA components, custom rack plates fornon-ADA components can also be made in Brass, Chrome, andBlack Chrome.

When combining ADA components and other components (such assources) which are racked in another manufacturer's rack plate,ADA recommends you allow a space between the other rack platesand the ADA components. This space can be small and could befilled with a piece of wood from the cabinet, providing a separationbetween the two types of plates. Even though another manufacturer'srack plates and ADA plates are both black anodized, there areusually definite differences in plate finish and thickness which maybe noticeable. The cabinet separation will limit these difference frombeing obvious.

Millennium System WiringThere are several different types of wire and accessories required to install a MillenniumSystem. Depending on your system's configuration they may include:

Control Cable - 12 Conductor/20 Gauge with overall Foil ShieldSpeaker Wire - Typically 4 conductor wire.Line Level Wire - Stereo RCA wires.Composite Video Cable - 75Ω Cable with RCA connectors.Low Voltage Wire - 2 Conductor Wire (Zip Cord).IR Flashers - Mini IR Emitters (For control of sources)Serial Connectors - For sources with serial control inputs.AC Extension Cords - For connecting components to AC outlets.AC Power Strips - Multiple AC Outlets.14 Pin Flat Ribbon Cables (Zone Bus) - Provided by ADA50 Pin Ribbon Cable (System Bus for Multiple Millenniums) - Provided by ADA

Prior to initiating an installation, it will be helpful to assemble all the required cables, sourcecontrol connectors, and AC connectors/extension cords.

Whether you are using ADA's cable or a suitable substitute, make certain that all connectionsare clean. Any frays or loose strands may short a data line and can cause the system to lockupor function poorly. Tone out all cable runs to make certain that you have both, continuity andthat none of the wires are shorting into each other. The most common problems result fromsloppy wire termination.

Home Run WiresPrior to installing any of the equipment into the rack, ADA suggests toning out the keypad, IR,speaker, and any other cables run from remote rooms to the equipment mainframe. Any shortin the control and IR cables will cause problems when you start installing the system mainframe.Shorts in the speaker wire will cause the amplifiers safety fuse to blow. Connecting a speakerpair such that one speaker positive connection is to a negative amplifier connector will makethe speaker pair sound poor.

Keypad & IRs Tips - You can remove some of the screw terminal connectors from the WH-8000 and connect them to keypad and IR home runs after you have tested their wiring. Labelall of your home run wires. In a Millennium, you may connect these wires to the WH-8000 orSODC-8 prior to installation or connection of the main rack.

Speakers Tips - The Millennium provides removable four pin screw terminal connectors whichare connected directly to your home run speaker cables. Follow the markings on the Millenniumas to polarity and right vs. left connections.

ADA power amplifiers are provided with removable "banana" jacks. You can terminate thespeaker wire to the "banana" jacks before connecting them to the amplifier. For convenience,it is important to note that the little tab on one side of the "banana" jack is imprinted with the word"ground". If you maintain the speaker's proper polarity, this tab will limit confusion regardingas to which wire is ground.

- 53 -

ZS-1 Zone Splitters have a removable 8 pin screw terminal speaker connector. Four of the pinsare for the amplified input to the ZS-1 and four pins are for the amplified output to the speakers.The ZS-1 is labeled as to which connections are for input and output as well as positive andnegative. When connecting the ZS-1's amplified input to the zone's amplifier, it will be easierto make a short speaker wire with banana pins on one end and the ZS-1's screw terminalconnector on the other end. Banana pins permit other banana pins to piggyback on top of eachother. This will make connection to the amplifier quick and clean.

Rear AccessIf you have rear access to the equipment rack, you are in luck. This access will permit you towire the system after the components are racked. Furthermore, if there is a problem with anyof your wire terminations, it will be easier to locate and repair the wire when you have rearaccess.

No Rear AccessIf you do not have rear access to the equipment rack you will need to carefully plan theequipment layout such that components which take up large rack space and have few wiresrunning to them are located at the bottom of the rack. These components can be left out whileyou install, wire, and test the system. Furthermore, you can locate non-rack mount units behindthe lowest components such as WH-8000s, ACC-3s, and AC Power Strips. Since wires willalways hang downward (gravity), they will be in reach of these devices. Components, such asamplifiers, can be located at the bottom of the rack when racks begin near floor level.Components, such as sources, can be located at the bottom of the rack when racks begin atcounter top levels.

- 54 -

Millennium System Standard Keypad Termination

The Millennium controls and wire harnesses have matching screw terminal connectors whichare completely removable to facilitate installation. It will be significantly easier to insert and lockthe wire strands into these screw terminal connectors if the connectors are removed from theircircuit boards.

The screw terminal connectors may vary in style depending on the unit they are for. Thus,simply removing all screw terminal connectors and placing them in a single box for termination,may cause problems when on the job site. For example, the connectors for the WH-8000 WireHarness may be different from those used on the WPA-10 Wall Plate Adaptor or MC-1676Decora Keypad. ADA recommends:

1 Taking the entire component, wire harness, keypad, or wall plate adaptor, to the job siteprior to installation.

2 Unpack the component in the room it is to be used in.

3 Remove the screw terminal connector once in the correct room and connecting it to thatroom's control cable lead.

4 If these steps are being done prior to final installation of any hardware (i.e. the room wallsstill require painting), re-box the control minus the screw terminal connector already onthe control cable, label the box, and return to a secure equipment lockup room or youoffice.

5 For control cable leads at the mainframe or at a location with multiple keypads, it isstrongly recommended to label the wire. Thus as you return to the job site for the finalinstallation, you will be able to easily identify the control cable home runs as they zonespecific.

MC-1676, MC-16.5, MC-1600, MC-1616, & WPA-10 ConnectionsThese are the standard ADA controls and require only ten wires for proper connection. Thenumeric order for these ten wires are identical on both the keypad, wall plate adaptor, and wireharness. Prior to installation, it will be useful to establish a color key such that for example, Redis pin 1, Orange is pin 2, etc.

Once you have a color key set, make certain that each control cable connection to the screwterminal connector matches you color code.

ADA also recommends the connection of the keypad control cable's drain wire to both thekeypad and the wire harness. The WH-8000 should then be properly connected to an earthground. This is not essential for keypad control but will be useful in the event of static shocks,induced ground loops, or minor power surges.

Millennium System IR Repeating Termination

The Millennium system provides two types of IR receiver and control. The MC-1609 Keypadwith IR operates with the MC-009 hand-held IR remote control. The IRD-1600 IR Receiveroperates with the MC-0016 hand-held IR remote control.

Note: The MC-009 IR Remote will not function when aimed at an IRD-1600 and the MC-0016will not function when aimed at a MC-1609.

MC-1609 KeypadThe MC-1609 Keypad wires identical to the standard Millennium System keypads with pins 1-10 connected in numeric order to pins 1-10 on the WH-8000 or SODC-8 Wire Harnesses.These are only wires that will be required for the MC-009 to operate the zone.

For IR repeating, an additional wire will need to be connected to both the MC-1609 and the wireharness. On the MC-1609, this wire is connected the pin marked "SO" for "signal out". On theWH-8000, the other end of this wire connects to pin 11.

PI-1600 Phone Interface

The Millennium System can operate have rooms operated from a standard home telephone.These telephones must operate on a standard four line telephone cable with touch-tone buttonpresses. The PI-1600 will not operate on multifunction telephone systems.

The PI-1600 turns a standard telephone touch-pad into a keypad. While the telephone only hastwelve buttons and the keypads have fifteen buttons, you can still turn on a room by selectingany one of the eight sources, change sources, adjust volume up and down, mute a room, turna room off, or shut down the entire system. You can even use the telephone to talk to peopleon.

In order to activate the ADA controller in the PI-1600, you must first press the "#" button on thetelephone. This will activate the ADA dial tone which has its own unique sound. At this pointthe remaining buttons on the telephone will activate the functions as illustrated below.

Note: The PI-1600 will automatically time out of the ADA dial tone. If this occurs you can simplypress "#" to regain access to ADA functions.

After you have performed the desired functions, pressing the "#" button will disengage the ADAdial tone and return the telephone to normal service. You can also simply hang up thetelephone.

The PI-1600 can also be used while a call is on the line. For example, if you are listening tomusic at a high level and a telephone call comes in, you can pick up the phone and tell yourparty to hold. Then press the "#"button to activate the ADA dialtone. Your call is automaticallyput on hold while you lower thevolume. Press the "#" button toexit the ADA dial tone and returnto your call.

The PI-1600 also has a line buffersuch that several PI-1600s canbe used in multiple zones even ifonly one telephone line exists inthe home. These multiple PI-1600s can be located at the maintelephone junction box which inan ideal situation is near the Mil-lennium mainframe. In suchcases, the PI-1600s would go in-line with each telephone line runas it branches out to the variousrooms in the house.

Installing the PI-1600

The PI-1600 is most easily installed at the Millennium mainframe as it connects directly to theMillennium through the zone's 14 pin ribbon cable zone bus. Thus, in an ideal situation, thephone lines should also home run to the Millennium mainframe's location. In the diagram belowillustrates how a local keypad can be paralleled to telephone control using the PI-1600.Naturally, no local keypad is needed for the PI-1600 to function.

If the telephone line home runs terminate in a location other than that of the Millenniummainframe, ADA recommends providing an additional WH-8000 to be placed with the PI-1600sat the telephone line mainframe. It is easier to run a 12 Cond./20 Gauge with foil shield controlcable than a flat 14 pin ribbon cable over long distances. Therefore, you could run control cablefrom the Millenniummainframe to thephone line main-frame and then usea 14 pin ribbon cableto connect from thesecond WH-8000 tothe PI-1600.

PI-1600s can also belocated away fromthe center of eitherthe phone system orthe Millennium sys-tem. If you are run-ning a keypad con-trol cable to a remoteroom, you can alsodaisy-chain an ex-tension to the controlcable to a locationnear a phone jack.

Millennium Installation Steps with Page References

Step A - Programming IR Source Codes into the MillenniumPrior to installing the system rack, it is suggested to program and test the sources function withthe Millennium. Since you will need access to both the rear of the Millennium and the front ofthe Millennium while programming, this step is most easily accomplished with the Millenniumplaced on a table. For information on the programming of the Millennium, see pages 14 - 16.

Step B - Installing the RackThe first aspect to installing the system is to plan the placement of all the ADA rack equipment,amps, and source components. Typically, the equipment is best racked starting at the top andworking downward. If you do not have rear access to the equipment, wires can be connectedto components as they are installed permitting the wires to hang while the next component isadded. Also, by lifting components into position rather than resting them on the componentbelow, you are protecting the face plates and rack handles from knocking together. Whenracking from bottom to top, components can be easily dented and scratched.

ADA suggests planning your equipment rack such that sources are followed by the MT-3000(if used), then the VSU-8 (if needed), then the first Millennium, then the Slave Millenniums (ifused), then the SSD-66/PTM-6150 (or other surround amps), and then all other additionalpower amplifiers (PF-201's). This format for racking the equipment will provide a cleaner flowof components and the respective wires and cables which interconnect all the components. Formore information on rack hardware available from ADA, see page 47.

Step C - System Mainframe AC WiringRunning the high voltage cables prior to adding any line level wires gives you the opportunityto locate the heavier AC cords out of harms way. While wiring the AC is the first recommendedstep, the main switching components (i.e. Millenniums & ACC-3s) should be left unpluggedfrom an actual AC outlet at this time. For information on AC wiring options, see pages 19 -23.

Step D - Connection of System Bus (Multiple Millenniums Only)If your system is using several Millenniums, connect the 50 pin ribbon cable (system bus) fromone Millennium to the next. For information on the connection of the system bus, see page 18.

Step E - Sources - Sources to MillenniumAll central sources will need to connect their line-level wires to the Millennium. For moreinformation on these connections, see page 17.

For source control, the sources will need to connect to the Millennium or IRS-8 if used. Useeither an 1/8" male mini jack to 1/8" male mini jack wire for connecting the Millennium to the IRS-8 and use standard IR flashers which connect to the Millennium or IRS-8 (if used). For moreinformation on the connection of the IRS-8, see page 16.

Step F - Composite Video Wires (if needed)Connect the composite video cables from the sources to the VSU-8 and from the VSU-8 to theTV's, projectors, and/or VCRs. For more information video connections to and from the VSU-8, see pages 36-37.

Step G - Connection of External Power AmplifiersIn many cases, additional power amplifiers are used to engage with a single zone. For thevarious amplifier options available, see pages 24 - 25. At this time, you can connect the line-level audio wires from the Millennium (with its jumper pins set to variable line-out) to the poweramplifier. You can also connect the low voltage wires from the WH-8000 (or SODC-8) WireHarness to the ACC-3 for AC control of external zone amplifiers. For more information on theinstallation of external power amplifiers, see pages 26 -27.

Step H - Connection of Home Theater SystemsThe Millennium system provides several different options when it comes to home theatersystems. These options are discussed on pages 40 - 45.

Step I - Speaker WiresConnect the speaker wires to the Millennium or other power amplifiers. Use the screw terminalspeaker connectors on the Millennium and the banana connectors common found on mostADA power amplifiers. The banana connectors have a tab on one side marked "GND" forground. This tab will permit you maintain polarity even if you cannot see the wires as you plugthem into ADA power amplifiers. For the four pin screw terminal connector on the Millennium,follow the format as printed on the rear of the Millennium. For a diagram of the Millennium'srear panel connection, go to page 6.

ZS-1's do not use banana pins but instead use, a removable 8 pin screw terminal connector.For more information on connecting the speakers and amplified output of CR-8As to the ZS-1, see pages 32 - 33.

Step J - Control Cable Connections to Keypads, IR, & Wire HarnessesAt this time, you should have already toned out control cable lines to verify that no shorts existon the cables and that continuity across all wires is OK. At this time you can proceed to connect(if not done previously) the removable screw terminal connectors to the control cable at boththe mainframe and remote room. Make certain that you have properly labeled all wires as theyare zone specific. Once you have the cables connected to the screw terminal connectors, plugthe connector into the appropriate keypad, IR receiver/decoder, wall plate adaptor (for tabletopkeypads), and wire harness port. For more information on proper keypad and wire harnessconnections, 50 -53.

Step K - 14 Pin Ribbon Cable Zone Bus ConnectionsConnection of the Zone Bus 14 pin ribbon cable will vary from zone to zone and system tosystem, depending on which ADA components you install in your system. For more informationon the connection of Zone Bus cables, see pages 28 - 31.

For ZS-1 Zone Bus Connections see pages 32 -33. For VSU-8 Zone Bus Connections seepages 38 - 39. For PI-1600 Zone Bus Connections see pages 54-55.

Step L - Main AC ConnectionsOnce your system is properly connected, you can proceed to plug the main AC componentsinto an AC outlet. These devices include the Millennium, ACC-3, and any other AC componentsthat may as yet not have been plugged in.
