The DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module can be used with both Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers.
All Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers come equipped with a DAS-AMFM AM/FM Tuner
Module. Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support 2 Tuner Modules in any
combination, the DAS-SIRIUS Module can either be installed in addition to the DAS-AMFM
Module, or the DAS-AMFM Module can be removed to allow 2 DAS-SIRIUS Modules.
Each Tuner Module uses 1 source input on the Audio Controller.

Installation
Installing/removing Tuner Modules requires removing the cover from the Audio Controller, removing the
Tuner Option cover plate from the rear panel of the Controller, installing the Tuner Module, and setting
Jumpers on both the Tuner Module to specify each Tuner as either TUNER 1 or TUNER 2, and on the rear
board pin-bus of the Audio Controller to enable/disable Tuner 1 and 2.
Disconnect all power sources before opening the chassis. Failure to disconnect
power before performing this installation may cause injury or death.
FIG. 2 provides orientation for the various internal components that must be accessed to install the Tuner and
set the Jumpers.

FIG. 2 Audio Controller - Internal view
Discharge all static electricity from your body before touching any components of the
Tuner Modules or the Audio Controller. Failure to do so may lead to permanent
damage to the Tuner or Controller.
Setting the Jumpers
While Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support 2 Tuner Modules in any combination, this document
describes installing the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into Slot 1 (as TUNER 2), leaving the DAS-AMFM Tuner
Module in Slot 2 (as TUNER 1).
Because of the location of the Jumpers in the Controller and on the Tuner Module, it
may be easier to make all jumper settings before installing the Tuner Module in the
Controller.

Move the TUNER 2 jumpers to the ON position by connecting the top 2 sets of pins (pins 3-2) and leaving the

DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module Jumper Settings (Standard Installation)
There are 2 sets of Jumpers on the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module (FIG. 6). These must be set to differentiate
Tuner 1from Tuner 2 in the Controller.
Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers are shipped with a DAS-AMFM Tuner Module pre-installed in
Slot 2 (as Tuner 1), the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module, is typically installed in Slot 1(as Tuner 2).
