DAS-SIRIUS Satellite Radio Tuner Module (FG1110-02).

“SIRIUS”, the SIRIUS dog logo, and channel names and logos are trademarks of
SIRIUS Satellite Radio Inc. All rights reserved.
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 Module as either TUNER 1 or TUNER
2), and the rear board pin-bus of the Audio Controller (to enable/disable Tuner Module slots 1 and 2).
Disconnect all power sources before opening the chassis. Failure to disconnect
power before performing this installation may cause injury or death.

Make sure to 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 primarily describes installing the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into Position 2 on the Audio
Controller (as TUNER 2), leaving the DAS-AMFM Tuner Module in position 1 (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.

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 preinstalled in position 1, as Tuner 1, the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module, is typically installed in position #2
(labeled Tuner Option), as Tuner 2.

Installing the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module
Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers are shipped with a DAS-AMFM Tuner Module preinstalled in the Tuner 1 position (on the rear panel of the Controller - see FIG. 9), the DAS-SIRIUS
Tuner Module, is typically installed in position #2 (labeled Tuner Option).
Installing the DAS-SIRIUS Module Into Position 2
To install the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into the Position 2 Tuner slot:
1. Remove the cover from the Audio Controller.
2. Remove the Tuner Option cover plate on the rear panel (FIG. 9) to expose the Position 2 mounting
slot for the Tuner Module.
3. Carefully insert the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into the Controller, with the
electronics facing up, and replace the cover plate screws to secure the Module to the Controller.

Be careful not to damage the white ribbon cable on the top of the Tuner Module.
The Rear Panel connector at the end of the Tuner Ribbon Cable is connected to the
Controller’s rear board pin-bus (see FIG. 2).
Keep the Tuner Ribbon Cable oriented so that the red stripe is always on top, as indicated in
FIG. 10:

4. Connect the Tuner 2 connector on the ribbon cable to the 20-pin Tuner Ribbon Cable connector on
the DAS-SIRIUS Module (FIG. 11).
Keep the Tuner Ribbon Cable oriented so that the red stripe is always on top, as indicated in
FIG. 10.
Verify that all of the 20-pin connectors of the Tuner Ribbon Cable are securely plugged into
their respective boards.
5. The Controller should only be powered back on once all Tuners are installed.
Removing Tuner Modules
In some cases it is necessary to remove the existing Tuner Module, in order to install a different Tuner
Module. Since each Tuner Module uses 1 source input on the Audio Controller, you may choose to use
the source input for other purposes.
1. Remove the cover from the Audio Controller.
2. Carefully remove the ribbon cable from the Tuner Module.
3. Remove the screws from the Tuner Module cover plate (on the Controller’s rear panel) and carefully
slide the Tuner Module out of the chassis.

Connecting and Positioning the SIRIUS Antenna
1. Connect the provided SIRIUS Antenna to the DAS-SIRIUS (see FIG. 1).
2. Verify the Signal strength
Activating Your SIRIUS Subscription
SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscription service. In order to use your DAS-SIRIUS module, you will
have to activate your SIRIUS subscription.
a. Access the programming menus via the front of the Controller.
b. Select Setup\SIRIUS.
c. Select "Status". In this menu, you can check the following:
"ANT = Antenna Status"
"ACT = Activation Status"
"SAT = Satellite Signal"
"TER - Terrestrial Signal"
d. Select "SAT" to determine the Satellite Signal Strength. Values are "None", "Weak" and
"Good".
e. Ensure the signal strength is at a minimum of "weak". Adjustments may need to be made to the
position of the Antenna in order to get a better signal.
Until you have activated your subscription, you will only be able to tune to channels
0 and 184.
1. Once you have installed the DAS-SIRIUS module, you can activate your SIRIUS subscription by
phone: Call 1.888.539.SIRIUS (7474).
2. You will be asked for a “Sirius ID”. This ID can be found in several places:
If using a Matrix LCD keypad, select channel "0" to display the Sirius ID.
If using either a Metreau or Matrix tactile keypad with the optional numeric keypad, select
channel "0". The Sirius ID will be displayed on the LCD display on the front of the Controller.
If using either a Metreau or Matrix tactile keypad without the optional numeric keypad, access
the programming menus via the front of the Controller by pressing the centre Nav button on
the Controller: Select Setup\SIRIUS, then select "ID" from the SIRIUS menu, and the SIRIUS
ID will be displayed.

SIRIUS - Favorites
Favorites is a standard functionality of the Matrix Controller and is available for all sources.
One minute after an “ALL OFF” has been performed, or 10 Minutes after every zone/room has been
turned off, the controller will send a Power OFF command to all sources.
The first time a source is turned on in any room (after a system power off), if a favorite has been set for
that room and that source, the favorite station/channel will begin playing.
For example: A “favorite” channel of “7” is set in Room 1 for the SIRIUS source type. If Room 1 is the
first room to be turned ON after a system OFF, Channel 7 will begin playing (whether it was the last
channel played or not.

SIRIUS Messages
Overview
Messages specific to the DAS-SIRIUS tuner module that can be displayed on the Controller or LCD
Keypad include:
Loss of Signal: “Acquiring Signal”
Antenna Error: “Antenna Error”
Subscription Updates: “Subscription Updated”
Channel Map Updates: “Updating Channels”
Invalid Channel: “Invalid Channel”
Unsubscribed Channel: “CALL 888-539-SIRIUS TO SUBSCRIBE”
When first powering ON the Controller, and the user selects the SIRIUS source, the
Initializing SIRIUS message is displayed, until the signal is detected.
Channel in Tuning is displayed until the channel is tuned, then the standard SIRIUS metadata
is displayed.
SIRIUS Messages
When initially powering ON the Controller, the display of metadata on the LCD
Keypad may be slower until it is buffered by the SIRIUS module. Since the Controller
is always ON, therefore, the SIRIUS module is always on, so this delay is only
noticeable when first installing the Matrix Distributed Audio system.
SIRIUS ID Display
The SIRIUS ID can be displayed from two places:
Controller > Setup/SIRIUS/ID
LCD Keypad by keying in channel 0 from the numeric screen (or by tuning to channel 0 using
the CH + / - buttons).
Invalid Channels
Invalid Channels will be automatically skipped when navigating channels via CH+/-.
