Suite 16 is appropriately named as it is a system that is built using a suite of modules and
components. These modules and other components allow extraordinary flexibility in the design of a distributed entertainment system. This section will focus on the three modules that
are inserted into the Suite 16 Multi-Room (MR) Controller Chassis, the AVP-16.
AVP-16 Multi-Room (MR) Controller Chassis
The AVP-16 is a chassis that can hold up to three Suite 16 Modules. Several AVP-16s can be
used in a single system. The AVP-16 features a front panel power/reset switch, front panel
RS-232 9-Pin “D” style connector, and a removable plexi-glass window. This window will
permit access to Suite 16 Module adjustment controls as well as permitting Suite 16 Module
Status LEDs to be seen during normal operation.

AVP-16 MR Controller
The Suite 16 is completely modular including the Power Supply and Control I/O section. The
Power-Control Module slides in from the back of the AVP-16 chassis and can be removed in
the event service is required.
The back of the AVP-16 also features two Expansion ribbon cable connections. These are
only used when multiple AVP-16s are employed on a single project.

Audio Inputs
The A-16 features 16 stereo RCA jacks which are the sixteen audio inputs to the system.
Input Level Trim Control
By and large most audio source components put out audio signal levels that are close to each
other. However, some sources run significantly louder while other sources are significantly
softer. This becomes an issue as you change inputs in a room, as volume levels can vary
between selected components, even though the room’s volume control has not been altered.
To compensate for varying output levels between source components, the Suite 16 System
permits a different input level for each of the sixteen audio inputs. This feature is set in
software.
Input Tracking Low Voltage Triggers
In 1-8
The A-16 also features two 9-pin “D” style connectors (non-RS-
232). The top connector includes a common ground pin and
then eight other pins corresponding to inputs 1-8. The bottom
connector also features a common ground pin and eight connectors which correspond with inputs 9-16. When an input is
selected, its corresponding pin produces a 12VDC output. This

trigger can be used to activate a source component function.

be attached to up to two ACC-48s each. This
will provide AC component switching (based
on activity) for as many as sixteen source
components. As with most every ADA System, Suite 16 permits the AC to be removed
from source components when they are not
being used. This is intended to preserve the
life of the device as even standby-power is
removed when the component is not in use.

The two low voltage triggers can also be used to engage an “On” and an “Off” IR command when using
ADA’s IRL-5000 to control source components.
The IRL-5000 is an advanced version of ADA’s IRL-
3000 Infrared Learner and uses the same PC software program to capture, test, layout, and label IR
commands from standard source components. While
the IRL-5000 is used on Suite 16 Systems when employing ADA keypads (so that the keypads transport
function buttons can control the source components),
the IRL-5000 can also be controlled serially making it
an ideal component to add to a Suite 16 even if no
ADA keypads are being used. A single IRL-5000 can
operate as many as eight source components. Two
IRL-5000’s can be used to control sixteen components
when set to different addresses. The IRL-5000 has

The IRL-5000 features two 9-pin “D” connectors. The connector on the upper left side is used
for programming and is connected to a PC. The connector at the bottom of the IRL-5000 is
wired in parallel with the ACC-48(s). By using this feature of the IRL-5000, one can initiate an
IR signal or sequence (macro) when a source is first selected and also initiate an IR signal or
sequence when that source is no longer being used. Since the IRL-5000 permits the use of
delays, you can use both the ACC-48 and IRL-5000 together such that as a source is selected, it gets AC from the ACC-48 and then is issued a command (i.e. play). Another option
for DSS receivers would involve programming the OFF function with a macro to reset the
DSS receiver to the favorite music channel. Thus, every time the DSS is no longer being
used on the system, the IRL-5000 resets it to this station. When it is again selected, the
favorite channel is already tuned in. This permits one button operation while completely
removing AC from the component when it is no longer being used.
Naturally, one can simply use the IRL-5000 without employing ACC-48s. When using an ADA
Trinity Tuner, ADA recommends using at least one IRL-5000.
The diagrams on the next two pages show an IRL-5000 employed with two ACC-48s. The
diagram on page 6 details the complete sixteen source system with two IRL-5000s and four
ACC-48’s.
LVI-3800 Low Voltage Relay
The LVI-3800 is used when controlling source components that
are not capable of control via either serial or IR control interfaces.
Older sources or for example, slide projectors fall into this category. The LVI-3800 features eight relays which close momentarily when transport buttons are pressed on the MC-5000, MC3000, and MC-3800 keypads. The LVI-3800 is an ADA Bus device and connects to an open ADA Bus jack on any wire harness.

Triple Tuner, the Trinity has only one AC cord, even though it acts like three components to
the system. As such, three jumper pins would be inserted into the Trinity Tuner’s ACC-48
outlet such that, whenever any of the three tuner modules is accessed, the tuner will get AC
and engage.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1 This device may not cause harmful interference.
2 This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Party Functions
d
d
There are four “Party” functions which when activated, cause rooms to switch to the selected
source. As room outputs are programmed to track party groups, this feature is discussed
under P-16 features.
Paging Features
The A-16 also features a seventeenth input for paging. Unlike other systems, the Suite 16’s
paging feature is extensive. Included are three types of triggers (audio sensing, voltage
sensing, and serial controlled). Each trigger activates its own “paging group” of which there
are eight (six paging groups can be activated serially). Each paging group can be disabled
(from ever occurring) and any room can be a member of none, one, several or all paging
group(s). Serial control also permits room specific paging (for room-to-room paging). When
a paging trigger is activated, rooms that are directed to engage with that page load all current
settings into memory and then recall a paging volume preset, while setting tone controls to flat
and filters off. When the page is terminated, the previous settings are recalled. While each
paging feature needs to be turned off in order to return the room to normal operation, a user
can also clear a page while in progress by selecting another source in that room or by turning
the room off (This will remove the page for only that room. If other rooms are part of this
paging group, they will still page through.). Resetting power to the Suite 16, will also reset all
paging triggers to standby.
Paging Audio Input
This balanced audio input (600Ω) is accessed through the removable 5-pin screw terminal connector on the far right side of the A-16
Module. Here Pin 1 is common (shield), Pin 2 is Positive (+), and
Pin 3 is Negative (-). This input can be connected to the audio

Paging Input/Trigger
The A-16 also features a paging compressor that limits the level of the audio paging signal
regardless of the actual input level. There is a trim pot to adjust the compressor, which is
located behind the AVP-16’s removable front panel plexi-glass plate.
Paging Volume Preset
Each room has a paging volume preset that is set in software. This volume level is independent of the volume level of the music playing in the room.
Paging Triggers
The A-16 features two non-serial controlled paging triggers. The
first is based on audio sensing through the balanced audio input

Paging Input/Trigger
ing trigger engages a group of rooms. The rooms that are activated with the audio sensing
trigger are predetermined in software by the installer. The audio sensing trigger can be defeated in software so that it never triggers the paging function. The audio sensing trigger,
once activated, must be deactivated in order to return the rooms to their prior state.
- 8 -
Page 10
The second trigger is a low voltage input trigger (3-24V AC or DC). It connects to the A-16 on
the removable 5-pin screw terminal connector on the far right side of the A-16 Module (Pin 4
is [+] and Pin 5 is [-], polarity does not matter for an AC trigger). The low voltage trigger, once
activated, must be deactivated in order to return the rooms to their prior state.
The A-16 Paging trigger can also be controlled serially. Here the paging functions are much
more robust. There are a total of six paging room groups. Rooms can be programmed by the
installer in software to either be part of one or several groups. Rooms can also be excluded
from all pages. Also, individual rooms can be selected to receive a page. This will permit
room specific paging. Again, once a serial trigger is engaged, it must be deactivated in order
for the room to return to its prior state.
P-16 Preamplifier Module
The P-16 Preamplifier Module is the most advanced stereo preamplifier for multi-room use.
With special attention placed on the sound quality of the Suite 16 System, the P-16 has a host
of features that are ideal for custom installation. The first AVP-16 can house one or two P16’s for up to 32 zones. Additional P-16s can be installed into additional AVP-16s for up to 96
zones (six P-16 Modules).

Audio Outputs
The P-16 houses sixteen stereo RCA audio outputs. Each audio output operates as its own
zone with independent: source selection; on, off, and muting; volume, bass and treble control;
maximum volume level; balance control; and even loudness and stereo enhancement filters.
The P-16 can be set so that zones down-mix to mono. Zones can also be set to provide either
a variable (signal to amplifiers) or fixed (signal to home theater preamplifiers or recording
devices) level audio output.
Input Selection
Each zone of the P-16 can directly access any one of the sixteen audio inputs independently
of each other. A zone turns on with an input selection. There are a total of eighteen serial
commands for a zones input selection, sixteen for the direct access of sources, and two more
commands for input up and input down selection.
Volume and Tone Controls
Each zone of the P-16 features independent volume, bass, and treble control. Serially, each
of these features has three commands, up, down and direct. As expected, the up and down
functions will raise or lower these parameters. The direct function is a numeric command that
immediately engages that specific level. This feature is ideal when creating sliders on touch
screen controls.
- 9 -
Page 11
Volume and Tone Presets
Each zone has four volume and four tone presets. Each of these eight presets has a serial
command to store the settings and another to recall these settings. The tone presets recall
and store both a bass and treble level as well as Loudness and Stereo Enhancement filter
settings. ADA suggests recalling both a Volume and Tone Preset when a room is turned on to
ensure that acoustic levels are appropriate.
Maximum Zone Volume Level
To prevent speaker damage, the installer can set in software, a zones maximum volume level
such that the user can never exceed this volume level.
Paging Volume Level
Because audio being paged has different characteristics than music, special concern needs
to be placed on the level of the audio signal during a page. If for example, music is playing
loud in a zone, should a page be introduced at the same volume level, one might expect to
speaker damage. To prevent this from occurring, each zone of the P-16 features a paging
volume preset level. During a page, the zone will set all tone controls flat, turn off all filters,
and recall the paging volume preset. Once the page is terminated, the previous settings are
recalled if that zone was previously on.
Balance Control
In some zones, it will be necessary to alter the balance of the audio levels between speakers.
To facilitate in this matter, the P-16 features a powerful balance control section. There are
three serial commands that control a room’s balance level: balance left, balance right, and
balance equal. Balance equal will instantly center the audio between the two speakers. There
are also two balance presets with four serial commands: balance preset 1 recall and store,
and balance preset 2 recall and store. If a room’s balance needs to be altered from the equal
position, ADA suggests storing the appropriate balance level in one of the two presets and
recalling it on start up.
Zone Turn-On Preset
Each zone of the P-16 can be set to either turn on to its last used state or presets 1. When
engaging with preset 1, Volume Preset 1, Tone Preset 1, and Balance Preset 1 are all recalled
as the zone turns on. This provides the installer with the ability to load into memory, ideal
acoustic characteristics when a room is first turned on. This will prevent a room from coming
on with inappropriate volume, bass, treble, or balance settings, even if these settings where
used the last time the room was on.
Party Zone Groups
There are four party zone groups which are set, cleared, and engaged serially. This feature
permits rooms to track the same source component and can be used to engage several
zones to the same source during a party. The feature can also be used for rooms that are
open to each other. In this application, it may be inappropriate to have one source component
playing in one room, while another is playing in an adjacent area because of interference. As
such, these rooms can have their control source selection buttons transmit one of the four
party commands. All rooms set to track that specific party function will turn to the same
source. For example, an entry foyer, living room, and dining room are open and adjacent to
each other. Each room has its own control. While it is desired that each area maintain
independent volume, tone, balance control, etc., it is not ideal that each area be capable of
- 10 -
Page 12
playing different sources at the same time. As such, the installer can program the controls in
these rooms to send party input commands instead of the standard input commands. As
such, whenever someone selects CD in the living room, the dining room and entry foyer will
turn on to CD as well. There are no restrictions as to which rooms track which of the four party
presets or whether they do not track any. Rooms can track several party presets as well.
Rooms do not have to have a control to engage with a party function from another room.
Mute and Room Off/All Off
Each zone features three serial mute commands: mute on, mute off, and mute toggle. There
are also two additional commands involving audio, room off and all off.
Stereo Enhancement and Loudness Contour Filters.
Each zone provides the option to engage/disengage two filters. These filters are used when
either speaker size, placement, or room acoustics are less than perfect. The Stereo Enhancement filter opens the sound stage between two speakers. If speakers are extremely
close together or in a position that is less than ideal, this filter may be of use. The Loudness
Contour Filter is used to enhance the bass output of speakers. If speakers have small bass
drivers or are in a position that baffles most of the bass information, this filter may be of use.
Both filter settings are encompassed in the Tone Presets.
Stereo & Mono
Here the P-16 is uniquely outfitted with both software and hardware options. Serially, one of
three preamplifier mixing options exist: stereo, mono input left, and mono input right. Stereo
(normally used), passes right and left channel audio inputs to the preamplifier stage. Mono
input left or right, pass only that channels information to the preamplifier stage. This feature
is useful if stereo recordings contain two completely different channels of information whereby
it is desired to eliminate one channel completely (language recordings).
While the software features may be of little use, the hardware mono/stereo feature is extremely important. While most rooms will most likely be set (hardware) for stereo (the P-16s
default state), it may be desirable for some zones to output a mono signal. Examples of such
areas may include hallways, galleries, outdoor areas, or even rooms that might contain only
one speaker (sauna). To down-mix to mono, the installer must alter a jumper-pin located on
the P-16 Module. This will require powering down the AVP-16, removing the P-16 Module,
locating the appropriate jumper (shunting pin) on the P-16 circuit board and inserting the
jumper. At this time, that zones audio output will be same on both right and left channels,
regardless of the separation of the input signal.
Variable and Fixed Outputs
The P-16 also permits any zone to have its output at either a fixed audio level (unprocessed)
or variable level (all previously mentioned preamplifier features). This is extremely useful
when desiring to include home theater systems or recording devices onto a Suite 16. Normally, the P-16s are inserted into an AVP-16 where zones 1-12 are set to variable (for multiroom audio) and zones 13-16 are set to fixed (the line-level audio signal can be routed to the
input of a high-end home theater preamplifier, A/V receiver, high-end two channel preamplifier, TV audio input, or recording device). To alter any zone, you must locate that zones
appropriate jumper pins (shunting pins) which are located on the P-16 Module circuit board
and move them to the alternate setting. There are two jumper pins per zone (for left and right
channels). This will require powering down the AVP-16 and removing the P-16 Module.

The P-16 features three low voltage trigger outputs: two 9-pin “D”
type connectors (these are not RS-232) and one removable five-pin
screw terminal connector. The top 9-pin “D” connector provides a
single ground pin and six pins that go to +12VDC individually with
respect to zones 1-6. Likewise, the bottom 9-pin “D” connector provides a single ground pin and six pins that to go +12VDC for zones 7-
12. These zone triggers can connect directly to the PTM-1225 or
PTM-1260 Twelve Channel Power Amplifiers. These amplifiers utilize the zone triggers to mute and unmute zones as they are engaged by the P-16. A standard straight-through 9-Pin “D” male-tomale cable can be used (both PTM-1225 and PTM-1260 Power
Amplifiers come with this cable).

Home Theater (or Recording) Set Up
When working with home theater preamplifiers, whether they are in the form of an AV receiver
or separate preamplifier and amplifier, you can assign a Suite 16 zone output to the theater
room. As such, the theater preamplifier can play the same components that are playing
through the rest of the home. To do this, connect a zone’s line-level audio signal to your
home theater preamp or receivers multi-room input (or Auxiliary input). Prior to making these
connections, you will first need to set that zone’s preamplifier output to fixed. This will require
pulling the P-16 module out slightly so that the Fixed/Variable jumper pins can be moved from
the Variable position to the Fixed position. This same procedure is used when connecting a
Suite 16 zone output to a recording device which also will require a fixed line-level signal.
In the example above, zone 16 is set to fixed audio output and is sending signal to the Cinema Rhapsody Mach
II on input 8 (Multi-Room). For zones 13, 14, and 15, a
PTM-6150 Six Channel Amplifier is used in conjunction
with an ACC-3. Here, the low voltage triggers for these
zones are combined to trigger the ACC-3 when any of
these zones is turned on.

When more than just a few zones require greater power, several ADA amplifiers options exist
including the PTM-6150 (6 x 150W/Ch @ 8Ω, 250W/Ch @ 4Ω, stable to 2Ω), PTM-8150 (8 x
150W/Ch @ 8Ω, 250W/Ch @ 4Ω, stable to 2Ω), and PTM-1260 (operating in bridged mode 6 x 175W/Ch @ 8Ω, 350W/Ch @ 4Ω, stable to 4Ω). While the PTM-1260 has zoned triggers
built-in, the PTM-6150 and PTM-8150 will require an ACC-3 to turn them on. Again, one can
combine zone triggers together to engage a single amplifier, even if it is powering more than
one zone.
There are two ways one can combine triggers together. ADA suggests using the DB-9 9-Pin
Termination Block but you can also cut and splice a ribbon cable. If you choose to use the
DB-9, you will need one for every P-16 D connector you will be triggering from and another for
every PTM-1260 that is running in bridged mode. When doing so, remember to switch the
appropriate channels to bridged mode on the back of the PTM-1260 and that in this mode, the
amplifier is only stable to 4Ω. The PTM-1260 can be bridged from 12, to 10, 8, or 6 channels.

V-16 Video Switching Module

o
5
The V-16 Video Switching Module expands Suite 16’s distribution capabilities to include composite video as well as audio routing. Much like the P-16 Modules, the V-16 can be used in
multiples for up to 96 zones of video switching (up to six V-16 Modules).

Video Inputs
The V-16 features sixteen video inputs per V-16 Module. When using multiple V-16 Modules,
one must Y split the composite video signal of a source component to distribute it to more
than one V-16. The V-16 features Hi-Z termination making video splitting possible without
signal loss.
Video Outputs
The V-16 features sixteen video outputs per V-16 Module. These can be connected to TVs,
monitors, plasma TVs, projectors, video touch-screen controls, etc.
Video/Audio Tracking
The V-16 can be programmed in software such that any of its sixteen inputs tracks the corresponding audio input. As such, when either a DSS, DVD, VCR, or computer game input is
selected, the appropriate video signal can automatically be routed to the room’s TV or other
video display. Alternately, video inputs can be selected independently of audio signals, ideal
when one might want to listen to music while viewing a stock-ticker or sporting event.

Video Options
Because the V-16 has sixteen video inputs and sixteen video outputs, it may have more
connections than one might think can be used in a single system. For example, one might
only have 10 audio/video sources, 6 audio only sources, and only 8 rooms with a video display. That would leave six video inputs and eight video outputs unused. This may leave open
the door to include up to 6 closed-circuit TV cameras which could be switched to any of the 8
TVs. On the output side, the eight unused video outputs could be used to drive video-capable
touch screen controls. This makes the V-16 not just an ideal video switcher for entertainment
purposes, but also ideal for integration of security cameras and touch screen preview video
displays.
Video Output Triggers
The V-16 features two 9-pin “D” type connectors (non-RS-232) that
Output Triggers
ut 1-8
engage a +12VDC signal when the corresponding video output is
selected. The top connector includes a common ground pin and the
eight other pins correspond to video outputs 1-8. The bottom connector also features a common ground pin with the remaining eight
pins corresponding to video outputs 9-16. These triggers can be
used to trigger video monitors or other source devices when a video
output is selected.

The V-16 also features five programmed triggers. The removable

used to engage multiple switching functions in that are programmed
by the installer. All four triggers can also be serially engaged. The
fifth trigger can only be engaged via serial control.

Interactive Use of Triggers
Input Triggers
The video triggers can engage more than just a single video input
when a trigger is activated.
For example, the main entrance of the home has the door bell set to engage an audio and
video trigger. The audio trigger is set to line-sensing using the door chime mechanism as the
audio trigger source. When the door bell is pressed, the chime will play through selected
rooms using the audio sensing paging input. The main entrance also has two closed circuit
TV cameras monitoring the doorway. These input into the V-16 module on inputs 14 and 16
(completely arbitrary inputs). When the door bell is pressed, not only will the chime play
through the system, but also the video cameras can be displayed. During setup, you can
determine which video outputs follow any one of the triggers. If an output is dedicated to a
video capable touch screen and that touch screen is set to monitor Trigger 1, then when the
door bell is pressed, that touch screen will get the cameras at the front door.
Cycle Count & Dwell Time
In the case where more than one camera is set to a specific trigger, the V-16 features both a
cycle count setting (1-99 cycles) and a dwell time setting (1-60 seconds). In the example
above, when the door bell is pressed, the touch screen will display both camera 1 and camera
2 where you can determine how long each camera is held in frame and how often the cycle
repeats itself. Cycle count and dwell time are global settings affecting all four triggers. All
sixteen inputs can be set to follow a trigger if desired. When only a single camera is set to a
trigger, its image remains steady even if numerous cycles are employed due to the requirements of other triggers.

The compression slope trim pot is used to compress the paging audio input signal. This
(
)
feature will prevent an input signal that is too high from being broadcast at that level. While
each room has its own paging volume level to prevent speaker overdrive, the compression
slope adjustment is used to prevent the input signal from being distorted.
The input level adjustment trim pot is used to determine the level of the audio input signal.
With this adjustment, low level signals can be raised or signals that are too hot can be lowered.
The trigger level trim pot is used to adjust the sensitivity of the audio input trigger. There are
a total of eight paging triggers. Six of these are serially controlled, one is a voltage trigger,
and one trigger is audio sensing. This trim pot is used to set this trigger such that it engages
and disengages appropriately.
P-16 Module Front Panel Setup
The P-16 Preamplifier module features twenty-two LEDs which indicate data transmission

Basic Video Setup - One A-16, One P-16, and One V-16
This configuration adds video to the basic 16 audio sources to 16 zone configuration. Because the video card can have outputs either track or not track the 16 audio inputs, one can
treat the 16 video sources as additional inputs and outputs. For example, out of the 16 audio
sources, only 10 have a video signal. That would leave 6 video inputs available for non-audio
video input devices such as cameras.

Matrix Switching - S-Video, Component, or RGBHV
(
)
For applications where an installation requires simultaneous switching of multiple discrete
video signals, any Suite-16 V-16 Video Module may be set up as a slave card. This is useful
for S-Video (Y & C), component video (Y, Cr, Cb), or HDTV video (RGBHV) switching. Furthermore, because of the Suite-16s value, configuration of a Suite 16 for matrix switching is
extremely competitive.
As such, a single video switching command can activate switching of inputs for more than just
a single V-16 module. For example, when using the S-Video configuration below, if video
input 1 is selected in room 1, both video cards (one for C and one for Y), will switch together.
There are special technical issues that do come into play when switching multiple videos
cards with a single command. In order for this feature to work, all V-16 modules need to be
set to the same room address. As such, when a single command is issued, all cards will
switch. The only problem that occurs when using standard V-16 addresses, stems from the
feedback created by all cards. As each card switches, it will return conformation of the switch
in the form of ASCII feedback. It is this feedback that may cause problems. As multiple cards
respond, the feeback may get corrupted. To prevent this from occurring when using the AVP16 and V-16 modules as a matrix switcher, ADA has added two additional V-16 addresses that
defeat feedback, preventing data corruption, while still permitting full control.
Changing of the V-16 Address
Located behind the removable plexiglass
panel on the front of the
AVP-16, each V-16
module has a rotary

to rooms 1-16 for systems operating at 19200. Address 1 is for rooms 17-32 at the same
baud rate. Alternately, address 9 is for rooms 1-16 for systems operating at 1200 baud while
address 10 (sometimes noted as address A) is for rooms 17-32 at the same baud rate.
There are V-16 Video Module addresses that are specifically designed not to provide feeback.
Address 6 refers to rooms 1-16 at 19200 without feedback and Address 7 refers to rooms 1732 at 19200, also without feedback. For 1200 baud systems without feedback, address 14
(also known as address E) refers to rooms 1-16 while address 15 (also known as address F)
refers to rooms 17-32. These addresses are to be used on the second, third, fourth, and fifth
V-16 modules. The first module uses the standard address. Here it is important that all room
and baud rate groups match.

Page 25
If you have a Suite-16 for 16 rooms that is switching composite video and you have a component video switching matrix in a separate AVP-16 chassis, then you might opt to use the room
group address of 17-32 for the matrix switcher. As such, you could connect the Suite-16
audio video system running 16 zones with composite video (addressed for rooms 1-16) and
the 16 x 16 component video matrix Suite 16 (set to room address 17-32) on the same ADA
Bus network without conflict.
In the event, you have 17 or more rooms on a Suite-16 setup for audio and video switching,
you will need to communicate to the Suite-16 setup for component video switching, through a
separate com port. Here you could opt to run the matrix switcher on any of the two room
group addresses, as this switcher is not going to be connected directly to the Suite-16 audio
video system.
S-Video Switching
This configuration uses a
single AVP-16 chassis outfitted with two V-16 modules.
One module is connected to
up to 16 S-Video “Y” outputs.
The second module connects

AVP-16 Slave-Unit Setup
When connecting more than one AVP-16 chassis together, the first chassis is considered the
Main Unit and all other chassis are considered Slave Units. The importance here is that the
Main Unit will become the one unit with a master turn-on switch. It will also be the chassis to
house the A-16 module. Note, that audio is passed to Slave units via two 50 pin ribbon cables
(Ribbon-50). Also, the Slave Unit will derive power from the Main Units switched AC outlet
using an IEC Female to IEC Male AC cord (IEC-MF). If additional AVP-16 Slave Units were
employed, these would connect in line to the previous Slave Units switched AC outlet. Also,
the Ribbon-50 cables would have additional connectors on the cable to permit connection of
the other Slave Units.

AVP-16 Main & Slave Unit Power-On Setup
During initial power up sequencing of multiple AVP-16s, it is important that all chassis initialize
together in one step. That is why the system needs to have the AC wired were the first Slave
Unit is plugged into the switched AC outlet of the Main Unit and all subsequent Slave Units
derive power from the previous Slave Unit’s switched AC outlet. For this reason, ADA will also
remove the front panel power button from all Slave Units preventing accidental power sequencing events from ever occurring. As such, Slave Units will have a cover cap in place of
the front panel power button.
In order to make certain
that the Slave Units sequence power properly,
in addition to the appropriate AC wiring and removal of the front panel
power switch (on Slave
Units), a special switch,
located on the bottom of
all AVP-16 chassis,
needs to be set in the
correct position.

In the case of multiple

AVP-16 ADA Bus & Control Wiring
Suite 16 without other ADA components or Keypads
If you are controlling just an ADA Suite 16 from a non-ADA control interface (i.e. touch screen
control system), you can connect directly to the Suite-16’s rear panel RS-232 jack. Please
note, that the front panel and rear panel jacks are in parallel and as such, only one can be
used at any one time. Thus, if you use the rear panel connection for the control system, the
front panel connection will not operate in the event you wish to use your PC and the Suite-16
Setup software.
Suite 16 with other ADA Bus Components (i.e. Trinity Tuner) but no ADA Keypads.
If you are using other ADA Bus Components, such as the Trinity Triple Tuner or a Cinema
Rhapsody (or Reference) Home Theater Preamplifier, yet still only using a non-ADA control
system, you will most likely want to network the ADA Bus components on the ADA Bus. By
using a WH-2000 Wiring Harness and an ISO-232 ADA Bus to RS-232, you can connect the
Suite-16 and other devices directly to the WH-2000 along with the ISO-232. By using the
ISO-232 as your RS-232 interface, you can now communicate to all ADA Bus Components
through a single control system I/O. Furthermore, you free up the Suite-16’s RS-232 port
(either front or rear panel but never both at the same time) for connection to PC for programming using the Suite-16 Setup software.
ADA Bus Wiring Connection
ADA Bus wire by specification is a three conductor 18 gauge tin-coated copper wire with an
overall braided shield that is 90% braid. These connections are shown in the heavy black
lines in the diagram to the right. In the event ADA Bus wire is not available, you can use a four
conductor 16 gauge speaker cable. Please note, that ADA Bus connections are intended
strictly for short runs, to connect ADA Bus components to the WH-2000 Wiring Harness.
Because Suite-16 runs at a baud rate of 19200, long runs of this cable will cause inter-component communication to fail. To maintain the best operation at the faster baud rate of 19200,
ADA recommends limiting ADA Bus wiring to a total of 15 feet in length (that is the total
distance of all ADA Bus runs). As ADA Bus components are typically in the rack with the
Suite-16, several short ADA Bus connectors, 2 feet in length, are usually employed.
Suite-16 with ADA Controls
When using ADA Keypads including the MC-5011, MC-5000, MC-3000, MC-3800, MC-3000
OD or MC-3800 OD, you will need to wire them with a Cat. 5 cable and RJ-45 connectors at
both ends. Standard Cat. 5 cable can be used in runs up
to 700 feet in length per run. Clean termination of the RJ45 jack is essential as this wire carries both control and
feedback in addition to voltage. A short in this wire can
disrupt control and even damage both keypads and mainframe components. Tone out all terminations prior to connection. In the
event a Cat. 5
cable is damaged,
see alternate wiring options on the
next page.

CAT-Link and ADA Bus Wiring
In some cases, you may end up upgrading a project previously wired with ADA Bus four
conductor wiring. As all Suite 16 keypads have only RJ-45 Cat
Link termination, you will require the BUS-CAT Module per keypad. This in-line ADA Bus screw terminal connection to male RJ45 jack will permit the keypads to connect to the system. Here
ADA suggests using the WH-3000 Wiring Harness (all ADA Bus
jacks) to terminate the ADA Bus keypad wiring at the mainframe,
while the keypads themselves terminate with RJ-45. In this situation, you will need to run the Suite 16 System at a baud rate of
1200 because the ADA Bus wire to the keypad location is not fast
enough for the optimal system baud rate of 19200. When running
the Suite 16 System at 1200, the initial (when the power switch on
the Suite 16 is first turned on) power up sequence will take slightly
longer. Also, at 1200 baud, using more than two Aquarius outputs
will most likely slow system operation down some. Otherwise,
most system features will work without incidence.

IR Repeating
Whether you are running a Suite 16 System at 1200 baud
or the standard 19200 baud, the IR receivers mounted in
the MC-5000, MC-5011, MC-3000 and MC-3800 can IR
repeat to source components via the IRL-5000. This will
permit you to use the original source remote control from a
remote room location. Please note, that while most source
components operate at 40KHz, some do not and as such,
will not IR repeat through the IRL-5000. The IRL-5000 has
a trim pot adjustment for the IR carrier frequency which is
only used to fine-tune IR repeating. Also, in order to employ IR repeating, the keypad’s IR needs to be active. On
the MC-5011, this requires that the jumper pin on the circuit board be in place. On the other keypads, the IR receiver is turned on and off via on-keypad programming.
Also, the ports on the IRL-5000 need to have their jumper
pins set so that IR repeating is active.

ADA provides the RC-40 hand-held IR Remote Control for wireless infrared control of the Suite-16 and source components.
This unit features the same button layout as an MC-5000 and
like any system keypad, the RC-40 is programmed for a specific room. As such, it cannot be taken from one room to the
next. If this is done, the RC-40 will still control the room it is
programmed for. The RC-40 issues commands at 1200 baud
(IR cannot be passed at 19200 baud) and can be aimed at an
IRR-5000 or any ADA keypad (providing that
its IR receivers is active).

need to be set to 1200 baud. ADA strongly suggests avoiding running systems at 1200 baud,
especially when using more than 32 zones and/or the Aquarius Hard Drive Jukebox, as there
will be too much bus traffic for smooth operation of the system.
ADA also provides the IRR-5000 peep-hole IR
Receiver that features an RJ-45 connector. This
receiver is ideally run to an open RJ-45 connec-
tor on the system wire harness.
The IRR-5000 can also be used

You can also generate IR commands for capture by other IR transmitting devices using the IRT-232. The IRT-232 connects to your PC and features an IR

Transceiver. When using the Suite 16 Tester program and an IRT-232, you
can generate most any Suite 16 command in IR form. Again, it is important to
remember that all commands are room specific and emit at 1200 baud.

RF Control
ADA provides an RF control option for Suite 16 Systems operating at either 1200 baud or 19200 baud. This involves using a
single RFT-3000 RF Transceiver per system. The keypads that
can be controlled via RF include the MC-5000, MC-3000, MC3800, MC-3000 OD, and MC-3800 OD. The MC-5011 and MC6000 cannot be controlled via RF. Please note, while control via RF is possible, with complete
feedback, the keypads still will require power.
RFT-3000
RF control becomes an option, when wiring is damaged or
not the improper type (a two conductor cable). If the wiring to keypad locations provides only four wires, because
of damage or improper planning, then employing the RF
Control option becomes a viable option. Here, the existing
wires can be used for power only, while all communication

Alternately, you can employ the RF Control option for rooms
where no wire can be run. In this case, instead of using an
in-wall keypad, you can use the MC-5000
Table-Top control with RFT-MOD. This keypad will ship with a power supply which can
be plugged into any AC outlet. The keypad
can be used outdoors but it is not waterproof
in any manner and should not be left outside.
Whether you use an in-wall or table-top RF
keypad, ADA suggests running your Suite 16
System at a baud rate of 19200 for optimum
performance. For the most part, function from

an RF control is identical to a hard-wired control. To the end user, there is no difference.
When installing the controls, in addition to the normal setting of the controls baud rate to
match the system, you must also make certain that the RFT-3000 and RFT-MOD dip switch
settings are set to the same baud rate. Finally, you will also need to make certain that the
addresses match on the RFT-3000 and the RFT-MOD. Both the RF baud rate and address
are set using the four switch DIP switch on the RFT-3000 and RFT-MOD. Please note, that
you select one address setting per system, as these addresses have nothing to do with zones.

MC-6000 Keypad with Video, WH-6000, & TV-6000
The MC-6000 Keypad fits a four-gang box and in
addition to the MC-5000 Rapture Keypad, features
a small LCD preview display. There are also five
navigation buttons below the screen for up, down,
right, left, and enter (select) control. The enter button is also found on the MC-5000 numeric button
area. The IRL-5000 has the directional buttons available and much like any transport function, the
keypad’s 12 character LED display can read these
function names when pressed.

The MC-6000 runs on the same Cat. 5 cable that you would
use for an MC-5011, MC-5000, or MC-3000 OD. Termination is also the same. However, the MC-6000 uses these
eight wires slightly differently, since composite video is also
passed along the single Cat. 5 cable. As such, in order for
the MC-6000 to display video, you will need to use the WH6000 Wiring Harness. The WH-6000 features eight RJ-45
jacks that correspond to the eight composite video input
jacks. If an MC-6000 is connected to RJ-45 jack number
three, then the composite video output for that display must
connect to composite video input number three. Each composite video input on the WH-6000 also has a Hi-Z/75Ω
Normal switch. If you are splitting this video signal to perhaps drive two MC-6000’s on the same zone, then you will
need to set one of these switches to Hi-Z while the second
WH-6000 composite video input is set to normal.
ADA also provides the TV-6000 which is a small black box that
features an RJ-45 input and a composite video output. This
permits you to drive a video signal to a TV by running Cat. 5
cable to the TV which will be fitted with the TV-6000. Again, if a
composite video signal is “Y” split to input to two jacks on the
WH-6000, and one RJ-45 connector is running to an MC-6000
while the other is running to a TV-6000 for connection to a TV
set, then one Hi-Z/75Ω switch would be set to Hi-Z while the
other is set to 75Ω (Normal). In the event you did not run an
Cat.-5 Cable from the mainframe to the TV location but can run
a jumper Cat. 5 cable from the keypad to the TV, you can opt to
run video to the TV this way as well.

The CMB-1 Clock Calendar Module is a master clock
module which calibrates all system clocks (i.e. MC5000 Keypads) on power up and from then on, every
hour. While typically powered by the ADA Bus, the
CMB-1 also features a battery backup to maintain time
during power outages. The CMB-1 will permit the MC6000, MC-5000, MC-3000 OD, and/or MC-3800 OD
keypads to display the date and time when a room is
off. In order for these keypads to display the time,
a single CMB-1 needs to be connected to an open
ADA Bus jack on any wire harness.
The CMB-1 features DIP switches which set the
Baud Rate (baud rates are either 1200 or 19200
and must match the settings of the Suite 16 System, typically 19200), the time mode (12 hour or
24 hour used only during test and setup mode),
Day Light Savings Time On or Off (US DST), and
a test mode. As the CMB-1 features a calendar it
is capable of changing the from Standard Time to
Day Light Savings Time automatically. Only one
CMB-1 is used per system.

MC-5011 Keypad Setup
The MC-5011 Keypad combines both elegance, function, and price into a single-gang Decora
bezel.
The MC-5011 is only available with a Cat-Link connector. As such, the MC-5011 must be
wired on standard Cat. 5 cable. The MC-5011 controls the Suite 16 System. You must use
the WH-2000 Wiring Harness with the MC-5011 Keypad. There are eight standard pre-made
source formats which are listed below.
Format 1FM1,FM2,AM,CD1,CD2,DSS,DVD,AUX
Format 2FM1,FM2,AM,CD1,CD2,CD3,DSS,DVD

note, that custom formats utilize a rubber button pad where the
eight source buttons are black and the lettering is etched clear. All
other keypad buttons are clear with black lettering ADA then etches
away the desired source label using a process that involves a laser.
Up to three characters can be used to describe a source name. This process is functional but
the letters are not as smooth as those of the eight more common formats listed above. Again,
the letters in a custom rubber are clear and the area around them is black. This only applies
to the eight source buttons. ADA suggests using one of the eight formats listed above.

MC-5000 Keypad LED Setup
The MC-5000 Rapture Keypad is designed to permit
you to select different light colors per button groups.
The buttons are grouped together by function and
each group has three DIP switches associated to that
group. The three switches turn on red, green, and
blue individually. These switches are found on the
circuit board attached to the MC-5000 wall plate.
There are two banks of 12 switches, 24 switches total, for eight button groups.
The eight groups are: Numerics, Transports, Sources
Not Selected, Source Selected, Bass & Treble (Party
1 & 2 on Millennium), Extra, Volume, and Off.
Available Colors Include: Red, Green Blue, Purple
(Red & Blue On), Orange (Green & Red On), Light
Blue (Blue & Green On), White/Pink (Red, Green & Blue On), and No Color (All Off).

To set the colors, ADA suggests taking an ordinary paper clip and creating a small tool that will
allow you to turn the switches on and off as you desire.
Open the paper clip so that one end is extended straight. Using a needle-nose set of pliers,
bend the end of the tip so that the extended end has a little hook to it.
As some of the DIP switch groups are hard
to access, in particular Source Used and
Sources Not Used, this paper clip will be of
use.

1200 Baud Rate
For Code 1117, the display will read BAUD 1200. If the display maintains BAUD 1200, the
keypad is not communicating with the Suite 16. As such, this may be the wrong baud rate
setting.
19200 Baud Rate
For Code 1118, the display will read BAUD 19200. If the display maintains BAUD 19200, the
keypad is not communicating with the Suite 16. As such, this may be the wrong baud rate
setting.
Clock and Calendar (This function only works if the control is connected to a system
that includes the CMB-1 Clock Calendar Module. The CMB-1 must be on the bus.)
For Code 1115, the display will read CLOCK SET. Use the < or > buttons to select which of
the following parameters you wish to change.
SET HOURS.-SET MINUTES-SET MONTH-SET DATE-SET DAY-SET 12-24 HR-SET YEAR
The SET 12-24 HR function refers to the clock displaying time in 12 hour mode or 24 hour
mode. This setting is independent of that on the CMB-1 and is set locally. As such, some
keypads can display time in 12 hour mode while others display time in 24 hour mode.
Regarding the setting of seconds, any adjustment to minutes resets the seconds to zero.
All changes are accepted immediately.
SET HOURS - When you navigate to the SET HOUR display using the < or > buttons, pressing the << or >> button only once, will cause the display to read the current state without
changing any of the settings, as an example:
FEB14 23:33 or FEB14P11:33
(“P” stands for p.m. when in 12 hour mode. No character is displayed for a.m.)
While the keypads can be set to display either 12 or 24 hour modes independently of the
setting of the CMB-1, during time/date setup, the CMB-1’s 12/24 hour mode setting will dominate the display. Use the >> or << to alter the hour. If in 24 hour mode (set 12 or 24 Hour
mode using DIP switches on the CMB-1), the time will increment through 24 hours. If in the
12 hour mode, the clock will display “P” for p.m.
SET MINUTES - After setting the hour, use the > button to advance the display to SET MINUTES and then press << or >> once. Again the display will read the current date and time, as
an example, FEB14 23:33. At this time, pressing >> or << will advance or decline through
minutes. When the desired time is displayed, use the > button to advance to:
SET MONTH - After setting the minutes, use the > button to advance the display to SET
MONTH and then press << or >> once. Again the display will read the current date and time,
as an example, FEB14 23:33. At this time, pressing >> or << will advance or decline through
the twelve month. When the desired month is displayed, use the > button to advance to:
- 40 -
Page 42
SET DATE - After setting the month, use the > button to advance the display to SET DATE
and then press << or >> once. Again the display will read the current date and time, as an
example, FEB14 23:33. At this time, pressing >> or << will advance or decline through the
numeric date. When the desired date is displayed, use the > button to advance to:
SET DAY - After setting the date, use the > button to advance the display to SET DAY and
then press << or >> once. The display will read the current day, as an example, THU. At this
time, pressing >> or << will advance or decline through the seven days. When the desired
day is displayed, use the > button to advance to:
SET 12-24 HR - After setting the day, use the > button to advance the display to SET 12-24
HR and then press << or >> once. The display will read 12 HOUR MODE or 24 HOUR
MODE. At this time, pressing >> or << will switch between these two options. While all other
features are loaded into the CMB-1, thus not requiring you to do this process for each and
every keypad, the 12/24 display setting must be altered on a per keypad basis. This is the
only Clock/Calendar associated setting that is not global. When the desired clock mode is
displayed, use the > button to advance to:
SET YEAR - After setting the 12/24 hour mode, use the > button to advance the display to
SET YEAR and then press << or >> once. The display will read the current year, as an
example, 2002. At this time, pressing >> or << will advance or decline through the available
years (2000-2099). For systems that are still operational in 3000, ADA will suggest upgrading
the MC-5000 software. When the desired month is displayed, use the > button to advance
back to SET HOURS or press the EXTRA button to exit this setup mode.
Exiting the Clock/Calendar Setup
If you wish to exit this setup mode at any given time, press the EXTRA button.
MC-5000 Installer Setup
Unlike the previous setup features, those found under Installer Setup are more involved to the
systems underlying programming. It is here, that the feature set of the MC-5000 when used
with the Suite 16 System is fully realized. Prior to entering the code the Version # will appear.
To enter the installer area, press and hold the extra button until the display reads:
CODE __ __ __ __
Enter the code “1867” using the source buttons where the number one is the first source on
the left while the number eight is the last source, that on the far right. When the code is
entered correctly, the display will read:
INSTALLER
The first stage of this sequence is the connection of the keypad’s eight source buttons to the
16 inputs on the Suite 16. Pressing the >> or << buttons will advance through these options:
INPUT CONFIG - SOURCE CNTRL - SOURCE LABEL - CHECK SETUP - PROGRAM ALL
- 41 -
Page 43
Input Configuration
While the display reads INPUT CONFIG pressing the > button will engage the input configuration mode. The display will read:
NORMAL INPUT
Here there are a total of five options, the most common of which the normal input configuration option is the most common:
NORMAL INPUT - PARTYGROUP 1 - PARTYGROUP 2 - PARTY GROUP 3 - PARTYGROUP 4
By pressing >> or <<, you will be able to advance through the above five options. Again,
pressing < will return you to the previous level. When you have selected one of the above
options, such as NORMAL INPUT, press the > button. The display will then read the first input
option:
INPUT 0
Pressing >> or << buttons will scroll through all of the seventeen options under the headings
found in the table below. To return to the previous level, press the < button.
NORMAL INPUT PARTYGROUP 1 PARTYGROUP 2 PARTYGROUP 3 PARTYGROUP 4
Input 0 or any of the party group inputs that read 0 refer to no source selection at all. These
options are useful to prevent a source button from selecting anything on that button (i.e. a
source button that does nothing).
To lock a keypad’s source button into one of the above inputs, press the source button while
the keypad displays the corresponding input setting. The keypad will echo INPUT OK while
the source button pressed will illuminate, indicating that the setting has been locked in. If you
have a 0 input setting displayed and you then press a source button, the display will indicate
NO INPUT OK. Continue setting all eight source buttons. To return to a previous level, press
the < button. To return to the main Installer area, press the < button again.

Party Group Source Selection
The Party Group source selection feature permits multiple rooms to engage to the selected
source when a single keypad accesses that source. This feature is used to setup “party” type
sources in several rooms when entertaining. In this application, not all sources on a keypad
need be set to party. In fact, the keypads in the zones set to party, might not have a single
party function on them. Perhaps only one keypad, (i.e. kitchen), might have a single button
(i.e. CD1) that will cause the living room, dining room, and entry foyer to engage to CD with
the kitchen. Here the kitchen CD1 button will need to access a Party Input which would be
programmed on that keypad’s button as illustrated on the previous page. The three other
rooms would need to be programmed to track that specific party group using ADA’s Suite 16
setup software (PC based software).
The Party Group source selection function is also used to make certain that several zones
turn on together and continuously track the same source. For example, if a living room, dining
room, and entry foyer require independent volume, bass and treble settings, they need to be
each their own zone. However, if these three areas are open to each other, there may be a
desire to prevent different sources from ever playing simultaneously in these zones/rooms.
As such, these rooms can be set to turn on together but never play a different source. To do
so, one of the Suite 16’s four Party Groups will need to be dedicated to this group of zones/
rooms. Each of the rooms keypads will need to be programmed so that the source buttons on
these keypads engage sources specific to that party group. Finally, in software, using the
ADA Suite 16 PC Software, all these zones/rooms will need to be set to the corresponding
party group.
Exiting Input Configuration
To exit the Input Configuration mode from the deepest level, press the < button to return from
the INPUT # to the NORMAL INPUT level. Press the < again to return to INPUT CONFIG and
following options:
NORMAL INPUT - PARTYGROUP 1 - PARTYGROUP 2 - PARTY GROUP 3 - PARTYGROUP 4
Source Control
To advance to the SOURCE CNTRL option press the << or >> button until the display reads:
SOURCE CNTRL
Then press the > button. The display will read IR LEARNER. To advance to one of the
following, press the >> or << buttons. To return to the previous level, press the < button.
IR LEARNER - ADA TUNER - SPECIAL CD - LVI - NO FUNCTION
The above five options refer to the various source control options that are built into the MC6000 keypad. By moving the >> or << so that the display reads IR LEARNER, you are ready
to lock in sources to an IR LEARNER port. Press > to select the IR LEARNER while it is
displayed.
The NO FUNCTION permits you to have a source button perform no transport functions at
all. To do this, while NO FUNCTION is displayed, press the source button. The display will
confirm NONE OK.
- 43 -
Page 45
IRL-5000
Once you press the > button while IR LEARNER is displayed, the display will change to read:

Using the >> and << buttons, you can advance through the following options. Use the <
button to return to the previous level.
While the display reads IRL ADDRESS1, pressing the > button will take you to the next level
where the display will read:
IRL 1 OUT 1
To lock this IRL-5000 output port number to a specific source, press the source button. The
display will confirm IRL OK and return to the above setting. To advance to other IRL-5000

RS-232 Connections for PC’s & Control Systems
The AVP-16 chassis features two RS-232 ports, one on the front of the chassis and a second
one on the rear panel. These two RS-232 ports are in parallel. As such only one port can be
used at any one time. If you have a PC or external control system connected to the rear panel
RS-232 port, the front panel port will not be functional. The same is true if you have the front
port active, then the rear panel port will not be active.
Ideally, you want to leave either the front panel (or perhaps the rear panel) port available for
connection of a PC. This will permit you to connect your lap top PC to the Suite-16 System so
that you can use the two following PC based programs, the Keypad Uploader and Suite 16
Tester.
The Keypad Uploader program permits you to program MC-5000, MC-6000, MC-3000, MC3800, MC-3000 OD and MC-3800 OD keypads without having to enter the keypads program
steps. The Suite-16 Tester program is most useful for system set up. In most cases, you will
need to use a PC to fully access all the feature sets of Suite 16. As such, this program and its
ability to connect to the AVP-16 is essential.
Communication Settings
While the baud rate on the Suite 16 is adjustable between 1200 and 19200 baud, the typical
setting used is 19200 baud. Other settings are 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, & No Parity.
ISO-232 & External Control Systems
If you are also controlling the Suite 16 System
from an external control system (i.e. AMX or
Crestron), ADA strongly suggests adding an
ISO-232 to the system. In addition to leaving
either the front or rear panel RS-232 jack open
for your PC, the ISO-232 provides electrical
isolation that is not internal to the AVP-16’s RS232 ports. This isolation will be useful in helping to eliminate ground loops. The ISO-232
can connect directly to any open ADA Bus port
on the system wire harness or if no other ADA
Bus components are used in the system, including any ADA keypads, directly into the ADA
Bus jack on the AVP-16.
RS-232 Cable
The connection of PC or Control System to an ADA RS-232 port requires a
simple straight through 9-pin “D” style
RS-232 cable. You should not use a
To RS-232 Control
System or AMX or
Crestron Control System
null-modem or cross-over cable. If you
use an alternate type of cable, you will
most likely not get communication, in the
form of feedback or control to occur.
POWER RS-232
AVP-16
Use either front or rear panel RS-232 port
to connect to your PC. Do not use both at same time.

Keypad Uploader Program (MC-5KS Uploader)
ADA’s MC-5KS Uploader program is designed to speed you through the process of program-
ming keypad button input links, source control links, and source labels. Furthermore, you can
retain a saved version of the project as a “.5KS” file type, permitting you to open the setup
parameter file at future times.
To connect the PC to the system, you can use the front panel RS-232 jack on the AVP-16
providing that the rear panel RS-232 is not used. You can also connect using an ISO-232.
Use a straight-through 9-pin RS-232 cable.
After installing the Keypad Uploader program on your PC, open the program and proceed
with these first steps.
Under Configuration, select your Com port and baud rate. Unless you have specifed or have
purposely selected the 1200 baud rate setting for the Suite-16, the factory setting for the
system is 19200. As such, in the setup software, you will need to select 19200 as well.

Now select the Source button representative of the eight source buttons on ADA keypads and
assign a Suite 16 Input to it.
Determine if the keypad button is a normal input or if it will activate a Suite 16 Party Group.
Finally, assign the source control option, in this example Trinity Tuner, Module 1.

Once you have the customer’s MC-5000 configuration established, you can opt to save it as
a “.5KS” file type. As such you can reload these settings at a later time.
Under File, select Save As and enter a customer name with the “5KS” suffix and press save.
To upload the settings to the MC-5000 keypads, simply press the UPLOAD ALL button. The
software will indicate the status of the upload as well as prompting you when it is completed.

Suite 16 Testing & Program
ADA has developed a fully functional PC program for the Suite-16 System, the Suite-16 Testing & Programming Software. Using this application, you can control a complete Suite-16
System. This program is also ideal for setting up a Suite-16 System, permitting you to make
use of all the system features. As many of these features are set and permanently stored in
the Suite-16, setup is typically a onetime procedure.
Use a straight-through 9-pin RS-232 cable when connecting to your PC or an external
control system.
In order to use the PC software, you need to have your PC connected to the Suite-16. There
are several options available to you. The AVP-16 features both a front panel and rear panel
RS-232 9-pin D connector. These two connectors are in parallel. As such, if another control
system or PC is connected to the rear panel jack, you cannot use the front panel. The same
is true if something were connected to the front panel and you desired to connect your PC to
the rear panel. Only one of these two connectors can be used at any one time. As described
on the previous page, if you are using an external control system and wish to, from time to
time, connect a PC to the front panel jack (for service and setup), you may select to include an
ADA ISO-232 ADA Bus to RS-232 Converter to the system. The ISO-232 can be used for the
external control system while the front (or rear panel) RS-232 port on the AVP-16 can be used
for connection to your PC. If you do not have an ISO-232 and are using an external control
system, disconnect the control system prior to connecting your PC.
ADA strongly suggests using an ISO-232 for external control systems because it provides additional electrical isolation and assists in preventing ground loops.
Configuration Page
The first page will access is the Configuration page. Here you will
need to select your
Com port. The Global
Version Request button
will request the version
numbers of the P-16
and V-16 modules. As
these cards’ programs
are loaded at ADA,
knowing the program
release numbers will be
useful if service issues
arise. This page also
permits you to test audio and video inputs
using the Input/Output
Test area at the bottom
of this page.

Page 56
Room Control Page
Under the Room Control tab, you can set and control all of the audio parameters specific to
that room.
Begin by selecting a room number using the pull-down room window.
To update the PC’s display with this room’s status, you will need to
press the little square (orange/red) located in the lower left-hand
corner of this window. The numeric fields for volume, maximum volume, paging volume, treble and bass will populate. Also,
the existing room state will indent regarding all off, room off, or
current audio input as well as turn-on option, stereo-L/R mode, tone
filters on/off, party groupings and page groupings.
The image below details the entire Room Control page. Details for
this page are discussed in the following pages.
- 55 -
Page 57
Input Selection
There are several ways to select a source. You can simply use the
input up or input down buttons. You can also directly access inputs
numerically. If a room is off or if the system in all off, those buttons will
be depressed. When an input is selected, the room turns on.
Bass & Treble Control
Bass and Treble are controlled in two ways, there
is the standard up and down commands which will
raise and lower bass and treble levels over a range
from -12 to +12 with 0 being tone control flat. Tones
levels are stepped numerically in two’s, from 0 to 2
to 4 etc. You can also do a bass or treble direct
command which enters a value using the slider control. Much like a touch screen with sliders, the
numeric tone level is jumped to as the slider is released.
Loudness & Stereo Enhancement Filters
There are two additional filters associated with
tones. The loudness filter engages additional bass.
The stereo enhancement filter opens the stereo
imaging of the sound stage.
Tone Presets
There are four tone presets. To store a preset for a specific bass and treble level, set the tone
controls to that level and then press either one of the four tone preset store buttons. To recall
a tone preset, press the corresponding recall button. Please note, that the status of the filters
will also store with the tone presets. If the loudness filter was on and the stereo enhancement
filter was off when preset number 2 was stored, they will return to these settings when preset
number 2 is recalled. Tone preset number 1 is recalled when the zone turns on providing the
zone is set to turn on to recall 1.
Balance Control
Balance is a feature of a speaker channels volume level and the
range swings from Left 40 to Right 40, with the balance set to
Equal when centered between right and left channels. There are
two balance presets. To store a balance preset, set the balance
control to the desired level and then press one of the two store
buttons. To recall the balance level, press the appropriate recall
button. Balance preset number one is recalled when the zone
turns on providing the zone is set to turn on to recall 1.
- 56 -
Page 58
Volume Control
Volume is controlled in two ways, there is the volume
up and down commands which will raise and lower
volume levels over a range with 40 values (0-40). You
can also do a volume direct command which enters a
value using the slider control. Much like a touch screen
with sliders, the numeric volume level, between 0 and
40, is jumped to as the slider is released.
Maximum Volume Level
The maximum volume level is set to prevent the room’s
volume from ever extending beyond the maximum
volume level. To set this level, simply position the slider
at the desired position.
Mute Commands
Again, there are two options for mute. The mute on
command engages mute, while the unmute command
returns sound. Repeated pressing of the toggle button will switch between mute and unmute.
Volume Presets
There are four volume presets. To store a preset for a specific volume level, set the volume to
that level and then press either one of the four volume preset store buttons. To recall a
volume preset, press the corresponding recall button. Volume preset number 1 is recalled
when the zone turns on providing that the zone is set to turn on with recall 1.
Zone Turn On Settings
When a zone turns on, it can be programmed to either turn on to its last used state or to a preset level.
To select the zone to turn on to a preset level, press
the turn-on w/recall 1 button. At this time, all preset
number 1 settings will be recalled when the zone turns
on, including volume, balance, bass, treble and loudness and stereo enhancement filter settings.
Channel Mixing Selector
While you most likely will never have the need to engage a setting
other than stereo, you do have option here to select a particular
channel to play through both right and left preamplifier outputs.
By selecting mono left, both right and left channels will only play
the source signal’s left input. By pressing mono right, both right
and left channels will only play the source signal’s right channel
information. Again, this feature can best be described as useful
when listening to program material with a specific language on
one channel and another language on the left channel. As this is a feature set that is not tied
to any preset, it will be important to return to the stereo setting if either mono setting has been
previously selected.

Page 59
Party Grouping
Party Grouping delivers to the Suite 16 System two functional features. There are a total of
four party groups. Much like a room has command sets for selection of input 1, input 2,...,input 16, each party group also has an input selection command set for input 1, input 2,...,input
16. Just like room 5 has an input selection command for source 8, party group 1 has an input
selection command set for source 8.
With this in mind, we can proceed to understand how to use the party group functions. As
previously mentioned, party grouping has two useful features. The first is the ability for several zones to turn on to a single source with one command. This is useful for entertaining,
hence the name “party groups”. By assigning several rooms to a party group number, when
an input selection is sent for this party group, all rooms on this party group engage to that
source. If rooms are set to turn on to their acoustical preset, then all rooms associated with
this party group, will turn on to the installers preset levels.
The second feature of party grouping can be used for multiple rooms that are architecturally
open to each other. Here, the system can be set up such that when one room turns on to a
source, the other rooms open to each other also turn on to that source. As sources are
switched, these rooms will always track the same source. Because these rooms exist as
independent zones on the Suite 16, they can still have their own acoustical levels and can
turn off independently, but they will always share the same source.
The MC-5000 keypad has a feature set that permit the source buttons, instead of sending out
input commands for a specific room, to send out input commands for a specific party group. If
for example, three rooms: the entry foyer, living room, and dining room, all have a MC-5000
set to party group 2, when FM 2 is selected in the foyer, the other two rooms will also turn on
to FM 2. If later, you change the living room to CD 1, the other areas will also switch to CD 1.
To set a room to track a particular party group, simply
press the appropriate set button while on that room. To
remove a room from that party group, press the clear
button.
Page Grouping
Page grouping is set and cleared on a per room basis much like party grouping. Paging
groups 1-6 are the serially controlled. Paging group 7 is triggered via audio sensing. Paging
group 8 is triggered via low voltage.
Paging Volume Level
The volume level for pages is inde-pendent of the rooms volume level and is set by the slider
control. When a page is initiated, the
room ramps to that volume level, the
tone controls are set to flat, and the
filters are turned off. When the page
is released, the room returns to the
previous levels and input. If the room
was off, it will return to the off state.
- 58 -
Page 60
Global Room Control Page
The global room control tab features both party group and paging triggers as well as the input
level trim controls.. The red button in the lower right hand corner is the update informa-
tion request button.
Input Level Trim Adjustment
The trim level adjustment can lower the input of level of a source component. As such, the
sources that play louder than the least loud source, can be balanced off to be as loud as the
least loud source. As such, the least loud source becomes the reference input, where all
other sources are lowered so that they are in balance to the least loud source. As such, when
you change inputs, the volume levels between sources remains the same.
Party Group Testing
To test and/or activate a party
group to a specific input, select
the desired input from the pull
down input window. Then press
the desired party group button.
- 59 -
Page 61
Paging Control
The paging control tab permits you to simulate paging triggers.
The first six triggers are only controlled serially. As such, a control code needs to be issued in
order to activate triggers 1 through 6.
Paging group 7 is the audio sensing trigger. The sensitivity of this trigger is set on the front of
the A-16 module by removing the plexiglass panel. Because a page will always cause the
audio to be sensed, if you desire to defeat this trigger entirely (perhaps because you are only using serial triggers),
this page has an option which permits you to disable paging group 7 entirely.
Paging group 8 is the low voltage trigger paging group,
again hardwired directly to the back of the A-16 module.
When engaging any of the paging groups, you can opt to
remove a room from being paged by selecting the page all
except the desired room number pull down window.
You can also activate paging to a single room on this
page. For direct paging, select the room number and
then press the page button.
It is important to remember that when a page is activated, you must turn paging off before rooms return
to their previous state. Once a page is initiated, it will
remain on until it is turned off. In the case of triggers
7 & 8, the paging turns off when the trigger is removed.
In the case of paging group triggers 1-6 or room to
room paging, you must turn all paging off.
If paging is on, there are two ways to turn paging off. If a room is being paged, selecting an
alternate source input will turn the paging off for just that room. To reset paging for the entire
system other than by issuing a serial control to do so, you will need to reset the system by
turning the master power switch off on the front of the Suite 16.

The video control tab permits control video direct selection, activation of the four video triggers, and also features the settings for video-follow-audio switching. To update this page,
press the red button located in the lower left hand corner.
For direct video switching, select the room number from the pull
down window and then press the desired video input. Even if the
output is set to follow an active audio input, this switching will engage the newly selected input. You can also turn an active video
input off to that room by press the off button.
There are four video triggers which can either be engaged serially,
as on this page, or via low voltage. Setting these triggers will be
discussed later on, but they are activated on this page.
The other options on this page involve setting video inputs to track
audio selections. If an audio input has a video follower, you can set
that input to track that audio selection. This function is also room
specific, such that video follow audio tracking can be different in
various rooms. The reason for this is simple. If a room has no video display of any type
connected to the Suite 16, its room output can be used to drive another video device that is
not room specific. For example, if room 3 physically has no TV, and room 4 has both a TV and
a video capable touch screen, then the room 3 output can be used to drive video to the touch
screen, while the room 4 output can be set to video-follow-audio. When using an open room
output to drive a video display that is not intended to track any room’s audio selections, all
video inputs to follow
rooms must be in the clear
(or off) state. This will permit that room (output) to directly access video without
interruption from other
room audio activities. To
cause a video input to follow its numeric audio
counterpart, press the appropriate set buttons. To
remove this feature, press
the clear button. Remember to activate video-follow-audio tracking for each
room. This is a room by
room specific function, not
a global function.

Video Trigger Setup Page
The video trigger setup tab incorporates the feature sets that determine what events occur
when one of the four video triggers is activated. Here, the surveillance feature set of Suite 16
becomes obvious. To update this page, press the red box in the lower left hand corner
of the window.
There are a total of four triggers which can be activated
via serial command sets (as on the previous page) or
low voltage triggers (connected directly to the V-16 module). You can choose to disable any of these four triggers in this page. This will be useful if the system is
already wired for triggers, but you later wish to prevent
a trigger from occurring. Instead of pulling out the rack
to rewire the system, simply disable that trigger completely by turning it off.
To begin we will determine which rooms (or
video outputs) are affected by a video trigger.
We specify outputs because some of the most
useful effects of this feature set revolve around
the ability to use open outputs to drive video
capable touch-screens or closed-circuit TV
monitors. Naturally, this feature also will override video playing on TV, much like the paging
feature overrides audio playing in a room.
To set a room to follow a trigger or several triggers, pull down the room number from the assign trigger for room output section. To set a
room (video output) to activate when a specific
trigger is turned on, press the numeric set number for that trigger. To clear a trigger, press the
clear button.
Now that we know which rooms (video outputs) track which triggers, we can determine what
occurs when a trigger is activated. To start we will discuss the issue of video input trigger
assignments. In this area of the page, select one of the four triggers using the pull down
window. Next, determine which of the 16 video inputs are assigned to that trigger. For example, if video inputs 15 and 16 are open on the V-16, they could have closed circuit TV
cameras connected to them. If in this example, inputs 15 and 16 are the two cameras cover-
- 62 -
Page 64
ing the front door, and you want to assign these cameras to trigger number 1, select trigger
number 1 from the pull down window and then set input 15 and 16 by pressing the appropriate
set buttons. To clear these inputs from these triggers, press the clear buttons.
To determine what triggers do when they are activated, Suite 16 features a cycle count and
dwell time setting. These two settings are global in that they will affect all four triggers. If you
change the cycle count or dwell time for one trigger, you will alter the features for the other
triggers. As such, you will want to give some thought into how you set cycle count and dwell
time when using more than one trigger.
Dwell time refers to the length the input is held and is adjustable from a 1 second to 60 second
time frame. Cycle count refers to the number of cycles that are repeated before the trigger is
released. Cycle count goes from one cycle to 99 cycles. As such, the shortest time interval
can be 1 second (dwell time = 1 second & cycle count = 1) all the way up to 99 minutes (dwell
time = 60 seconds & cycle count = 99). In the example previously used, with two cameras
covering the front door, when the front doorbell is pressed, trigger 1 engages. If the dwell time
is set to 3 seconds and the cycle count is set to 4, then the first camera is displayed for three
seconds, then the second camera for three seconds. This sequence will repeat three more
times and then the trigger will turn off (24 seconds total time - 3x4 + 3x4).
If trigger number two has just one camera by the front gate which is activated with an electronic eye, then when trigger number two is engaged, the gate camera will be held for a period
of 12 seconds (3 second dwell time x 4 cycles). Even though the Suite 16 is cycling, the
image for a single input on a trigger is held steady without flutter.
To set the cycle count and dwell time, use the sliders bearing in mind that these features are
global and will affect all four triggers.

Suite 16 Serial Protocol V1.4 Explanation
PURPOSE:
This document explains the serial data code structure and operation of the Suite 16 MultiRoom Preamplifier. This document is preliminary and is for Suite 16 Audio card with version
1.4 software. All content subject to change.
DISCUSSION:
The Suite 16 Multi-Room Preamplifier is serial controlled at 19200 baud or 1200 baud. The
10 character command structure is as follows:
START CHARACTER ACTIONFUNCTIONROOM#/GLOBAL<CR>
Example‘S or GAD01R01<CR>
The above example demonstrates how you would set room 1 to analog input 1. The start
character must always be a ‘ called an accent grave, located on the key next to the 1 key on
a standard QWERTY keyboard. All letters used in a 10 character string must be upper case.
The end of the string must always end in a carriage return or “ENTER” key. The second
character is “S” for set when performing a function. When updates about system status are
requested this character will be a “G” for get. The third through sixth characters are the function code. Referring to the excel sheet you can look up the various functions that the preamplifier can perform. In some cases, like the volume direct command, some of the characters
are a value entered into the system. The seventh through ninth characters are for telling the
system that the command is for a specific room or a global function. Like the function code,
some of the characters can be a variable for certain functions.
After there is a power failure and power is restored, the system will return to the last active
settings for every room including whether the room was on or off, tone controls, volume, input
trim, balance and input selected. The exception being if any page mode had been activated
by serial command it will be cancelled. If a page mode is being activated manually or by auto
audio level detection then the page will be active on power up.
The feedback response is an 11 character string
STARTAcknowledgePLACEFUNCTIONROOM or
CHARHOLDERGLOBAL
Example‘A X AD01R01<cr>
The “A” is for acknowledge and is in every feedback response
The “X” is a placeholder but is used only for feedback in the volume, tone and balance
presets

INPUT LEVEL TRIM 1-16
This is a global command that allows you to trim louder input sources so they may be at
relatively even volumes with other sources. When properly set any source can be selected
and the volume for that room should not have to be re-adjusted. Every room in the system will
attenuate the source by the value set, if any, with this command. The command structure is
the function code selects which input trim to adjust followed by G for global and the 2 digit trim
value. A trim level set to 00 will cause no attenuation for that input. Each value of trim is about
1.5dB of attenuation.
EXAMPLE‘SIT01G01<cr>Set input trim 1 for 1.5dB attenuation

The party command is a global function of 4 pre-selected groups of rooms. The room members of each party are turned on and set to the same source input in the command string. The
2 characters after the G specify the input to set the party to in the range 01 to 16.

PAGING OVERVIEW
The paging function of the preamplifier actually has 9 ways to accomplish paging. There are
8 paging groups any room can become a “member” of. Each room also has a serial command to pre-set a paging level for that room. When a room is paged all balance and tone
controls are nulled and the preset page volume is set. After completion of page, control
resume their setting previous to the page. If the room had been turned off it will turn on for the
page and then turn off again when the page is completed. The first 6 groups use serial
controlled paging. Group 7 is the auto paging mode and is hardware controlled. This is
controlled by an audio level detector. When an audio signal applied to the auto page input
exceeds a predetermined level, all members that are part of group 7 are paged. In the event
of interference or noise inadvertently activating auto page, there is a serial command which
can activate or deactivate the auto page mode. Group 8 is another hardware controlled
paging mode. This is a simple dry contact input that will page members of group 8. The ninth
method of paging is the room to room page. With this command any room can be discretely
paged. Only one page can occur at one time. The method of page activation must also be
used to cancel the page. For example, a manual page by contact closure must be cancelled
by opening the contact. An auto page by audio level activation must be cancelled by the level
being below the trigger threshold. Any serial controlled page must be cancelled by a serial
command. For serial command page groups 1-6, if the room initiating the page is part of the
group, it will be omitted so no audio feedback occurs. Functions are as follows:

UPDATE ALL ROOM CONTROLS
This is an abridged request that only replies with certain room parameters for all rooms as
follows:
EXAMPLE‘GALRCG00<cr>
Feedback *this feedback sequence is repeated for each room
The character echo command is useful when data is to be sent from one remote control
device to another. Normally a remote control device can only send data to the Suite 16 unit to
request a function. For specialized functions such as label copying, the character echo command can be utilized. The command begins by using a ‘ just like all other commands and is
then followed by E for echo. You then tell the system how many characters you want to echo
in the value of 1 to 255 not including the first 3 characters (‘E and #bytes to send . This is a
binary value, NOT an ASCII value.
EXAMPLE
SEND to suite16‘E 21 send this to a remote
REPLY from suite16send this to a remote
In the above example “send this to a remote” is 21 characters including the spaces. If you
send less characters than specified, the system will time out after about 1/2 second and take
commands normally for any function. If you send more characters than specified, the echo
will complete after the number of characters specified. Any additional characters will be invalid.
Suite 16 Video Card V1.1 or V1.2 Protocal Explanation
1.FEEDBACK DISABLE ****this is not yet implemented or must have traces cut to
accomplish***
For Multiple card ie for S-video set to the same room group, There should be a hardware pin
to disable the serial TX as more than one card with the same address could be confusing to
program serially.
2.DIRECT VIDEO SELECTIONhas feedback
This function is always active. At anytime any output may be assigned a video input or turned
off.
Feedback will be generated from this command.
Code examples
‘SVD01R01<cr>select video input 1 for output into room 1
‘SVD16R80<cr>select video input 16 for output into room 80
‘SVD00R50<cr>turn video off in room 50
- 81 -
Page 83
3.VIDEO FOLLOWING AUDIO/INDEPENDANT VIDEOhas feedback
This function is assignable for every input in any given room. That way if only a few of the
inputs are video components only those set will follow audio selections. If following is set for
any input in a room, the remaining inputs not set to follow will turn off the room video output
when selected. If following is not set for any input in a room, the video functions independently without any audio interaction at all.
Code examples
‘SFS01R01<cr>video input 1 will follow audio in room 1
‘SFC01R01<cr>video input 1 will not change with audio in room 1
4.PARTY COMMAND
Works just like audio party command but with no feedback using same set up commands as
the P-16 audio card. Keep inmind video following settings will affect the party commands.
5.HARDWARE TRIGGER VIDEO INPUT ASSIGNhas feedback
This serial command assigns which video inputs are used in conjunction with each of the four
hardware triggers and fifth serial only trigger. Up to 16 inputs can be assigned to a trigger.
Code examples
‘SHI1SG01<cr>assign to hardware trigger 1 video input 1
‘SHI4SG16<cr>assign to hardware trigger 4 video input 16
‘SHI2CG15<cr>disable from hardware trigger 2 video input 15
6.TRIGGER OUTPUT ASSIGNhas feedback
This serial command assigns room outputs to one of the five trigger groups.
Code examples
‘SHO1SR01<cr>Set room 1 to trigger 1
‘SHO1CR01<cr>Clear room 1 from trigger 1
‘SHO5SR16<cr>Set room 16 to trigger 5
‘SHO3CR08<cr>Clear room 8 from trigger 3
7.SOFTWARE CONTROL OF HARDWARE TRIGGERS
This is a global serial command to activate triggers by command string. Result is same as if
activated by hardware trigger. Trigger 5 is serial controlled only.
8.VIDEO TRIGGER DWELL TIMEhas feedback
This serial command globally sets the dwell time. Dwell time is the interval that a video input
selection remains on until it switches to the next in sequence. Range is 1-60 seconds.
Code examples
‘SDWELG05<cr>set dwell time to 5 seconds
‘SDWELG60<cr>set dwell time to 60 seconds
9.CYCLE COUNThas feedback
This global serial command sets the number of cycles all triggers will have when activated. A
cycle is equal to one sweep of any enabled inputs from 1-16 inclusive. range is 1-99
Code examples
‘SCYCLG05<cr>set to 5 cycles
‘SCYCLG99<cr>set to 99 cycles
10.HARDWARE TRIGGER ENABLE / DISABLE has feedback
This serial command individually enables or disables the hardware trigger control inputs.
Serial commands not affected.
11.VERSION REQUESThas feedback
This serial command will give a response with the software version of all video cards
Code example
‘GVERSG00<cr>get software version number
Response
‘A0VIDV1.1first card
‘A1VIDV1.1second card
