initial set up / bus assignment
For the initial setup the CAN ADDRESS selection is the most important setting. To avoid address conflicts
with other C8k modules the CAN address setting must be done with care, because each CAN address
has to be unique! See C8k System manual for details.
The Dip-Switch #4 serves as +16 address range extension for the CAN address switch.
The Dip-Switch #1 is the BUS-EN switch which turns the audio driver circuits on when power is turned on.
This allows you to insert a new module into an existing system without the risk of disturbing signals on
other busses, if the actual bus configuration is unknown.
The INIT button will initialize the module to factory default if one holds it down while power up.

BUS-EN: ON
Connects the outputs to the C8k audio buses on power up
OFF
Disconnects the module outputs from the C8k buses on power up

ID +16: ON
CAN address is extended by +16 (counting from 0x10 to 0x1F)
OFF
CAN address is standard (counting from 0x0 to 0xF)
Important note! To avoid audio bus conflicts when you replace a C8685 or install an additional one and
the configuration is unknown, the output bus drivers must be disabled before inserting it. If all settings are
done remotely and the unit fits into the bus assignment scheme of a frame, you must remove it and place
the switch back into position BUS-EN=ON.
rotary encoder settings
ADDRESS: This rotary encoder sets the CAN ID of the C8685. The 16 switch positions
are hexadecimal numbers (0x0 to 0xF).
remote control operation
- Web-server based remote control of parameters via frame controller C8702
- 3rd party remote control by http protocol based API
(please contact Junger Audio for details)

PRESETS
8, 4, 2 Channel Audio Delay
C8685
The C8685 has 16 Audio (Delay) presets (# 1 … 16) and 8 Setup/Routing presets (# 17 … 24).
The status window at the left hand side shows the names of the active presets. The phrase
“modified:” will appear in line with the preset name, if a preset parameter was changed by the
operator.

The bus status may be presented to external monitoring systems
via SNMP. The frame controller summarizes such status
information and generates SNMP traps for the frame as an
entity or may activate GPOs (if GPI/O module(s) are installed).
The SNMP manager may afterwards poll the “modulesStatus”
for more detailed status information per input (see SNMP

GPIs are useful if you want to recall settings remotely (e.g. by presets).
The C8k frame can handle 127 different GPIs. You must assign a
unique number to the respective function. Such numbers will be
generated by the brc8x Broadcast Remote Controller or by a GPI/O
interface module. If the C8685 receives such a number via the CAN
GPOs (Tallies) may signal the status of a module. If you load a preset the C8685 puts

turn on a relay or the brc8x may turn on button LEDs (see respective
manuals for details). The 8817 relays have NO (normally open) as well
as NC (normally closed) contacts. This allows for easy interconnection
with more generic monitoring equipment or very simple push button
controls.
