Installing the Wall Dock

(3-gang Installation)

In some installations it may be desirable to mount a single gang control
keypad next to the A0314D. To accomplish this, the single gang trim plate
can be installed next to the A0314D in a 3-gang junction box.
Follow the steps below:
Installation Steps

1. Connect all wiring. Use the correct
installation tools: J-110 tool, or
1014 crimp tool.

2. Install keypad and single-gang
trim plate in the far left position
of the 3-gang junction box.
(See details on page 3)

3. Leave off the right side
flange and trim piece.

4. Install the iPod dock in the
left side of the 3-gang j-box.
It will overlap and snap into
the single gang trim plate.
(See page 5 for details)

Docking the iPod

The dock platform can slide up to hide
the dock connector when the system is
not in use. Make sure the dock platform
is in the down position so the dock
connector is exposed (as shown here).

The sliding dock lever beneath the dock adjusts the position of the
dock connector to create a perfect fit for all compatible iPods (see
page 3 for a list of compatible iPods).

MOD

The volume, mute, power, and source buttons
on the A0505 are designed to control Channel
Vision’s whole-house audio systems such as
the A4603 and P-1044.

Please note that this remote will only function
when your iPod is docked in the A0314D wall
dock. It can be pointed directly at the wall
dock or at an IR receiver that is part of an
external whole-house IR system. An IR-4180
cable can be used to connect the emitter
output of the whole-house IR system into the
IR IN of the A0314D output wall plate. See page
5 of this manual for an example.

We realize that custom integrators way wish to design advanced control systems. To
provide assistance we have published the hex codes for the IR commands (see below).
(IR codes can be downloaded at: www.channelvision.com)

Connection Tips and Troubleshooting

1) Be sure you have connected the CAT5 cable correctly. Follow the
TIA-568A standard at both ends. Incorrect wiring can cause distorted
sound or prevent the system from working at all!

2) Be sure you have connected the speakers in phase. Follow the label
on the product. Out of phase speakers can rob the system of its
bass. Especially when driving dual-voice-coil speakers.

3) Trouble with IR control?

a. Make sure you are using the correct remote control. The A0314D will

only respond to IR signals from the Apple Remote produced by Apple
Computer or the A0505 produced by Channel Vision. Other 3rd party
remote controls are not supported.

b. Disconnect anything that is connected to the “IR IN” on the output

wall plate. Point the A0505 remote at the Wall Dock and see if you
can control the iPod. If this works, you need to troubleshoot your IR
repeating system.

c. Troubleshooting an external IR system: Some IR receivers have a

feedback LED that flashes whenever IR signals are received. If the
IR receiver you are using has this feature, check to make sure the
LED flashes whenever you press buttons on your remote control.

i. If you don’t see the feedback LED, try replacing the batteries

in your remote control.

4) The A0314D is designed to charge the iPod (see compatibility notes

on page3). When the iPod is not playing music, the screen should
indicate that the iPod is being charged. If this does not occur, make
sure the power supply is connected to the output wall plate of the
A0314D.

5) Observe wiring distance specifications. The maximum

recommended wire length between the wall dock and output wall
plate is 350 feet. Although the A0314D has been proven to work at
distances of 500 feet, such extreme distances are not recommended
because erratic performance may result due to the power loss
caused by the CAT5 wire.

6) If you are experiencing problems with your iPod that occur even

when it is not docked in the A0314D, then please contact Apple
customer service for support.

7) If you need additional help troubleshooting the A0314D

contact Channel Vision technical support or check our website for
more details: www.channelvision.com.

Stripping and Connecting CAT5 Wire

CAT5 cable should be stripped with a proper stripping tool, such as Channel
Vision’s J-110 tool.

1. Place the CAT5 between the blade and the first notch of the J-110 tool.

Cat5

Blade

2. Rotate the tool only once. Multiple turns

will cause you to cut into the inner wires.

1 turn only

3. Inspect the inner wires for damage.
If any wires are cut start over at step 1.
