Volume Control Power Distribution
Module

IS-0370 REV. O

1. Introduction

The lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad Volume
Control Power Distribution Module, P/N AU1001
(see Figure 1), is a component used to power
multiple lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad
Volume Controls. It is typically installed in the
On-Q Enclosure and provides power for up to
four volume controls.

2. Description

The lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad Volume Controls, P/N AU1000-xx utilize two on-board 20 Watt per channel
class D amplifiers. These amplifiers require more current carrying capability than Cat 5 cable can support. That is
where the AU1001 Power Distribution Module comes in. The front panel of the lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad
Volume Control Power Distribution Module, PN AU1001 (see Figure 1), contains four sets of four spring loaded
terminal blocks, each supporting up to 14 gauge speaker wire. Th e connections are labeled “+” (plus) and “-“
(minus) and are also color-coded red for the two plus connections and black for the two minus connections.
Although each connection is designed to support up to 14 gauge speaker wires, we recommend utilizing 16/4
speaker wire, since it is more readily available in a paired fashion with Category 5 cable. In that way, one cable
can be run to each volume control location as shown in Figure 2.

3. Installation

Installation of the Power Distribution Module is typically accomplished at “Trim-out”.
NOTE: “Rough-in” steps should have included running cables from the enclosure to each volume control

location. Before connecting the volume controls, make sure that power supplies are not connected to the
lyriQ™ Audio and Power Distribution Modules. For instructions on pre-wiring and installing other
components of the lyriQ™ Audio System, please see the Instruction Sheets included with those
components.

Volume Control Power Distribution
Module

IS-0370 REV. O

A. “Trim-out” steps: Connections in the enclosure (see Figure 3):

1) The Category 5 cable that was run to each volume control
location should be terminated with an RJ45 plug according
to the T568A wiring standard and inserted into one of the
zone output jacks of the associated lyriQ™ audio distribution
module.

2) For the 16/4 speaker wire power cable that was run to each
volume control location, strip 3/8” of insulation from each of
the four conductors and insert the red and white wires into
the red (plus) portion of TB1. Insert the stripped black and
green wires into the black (minus) portion of TB1.

NOTE: The two red connections are tied together, as are the
two black connections. They are provided in pairs to
provide flexibility of wiring.

NOTE: Electricians may prefer to think of the black and red
wires as plus and the green and white wires as minus. That
wiring will also work, as long as it is also followed at each
end of the cable.

3) After all Cat 5e and 16/4 cabling is connected, connect the one or two 24VDC power sup plies to the
Power Distribution Module, and any associated power supplies to the lyriQ™ Audio Distributio n Module
and plug those power supplies into an AC outlet.

NOTE: Each power supply is capable of powering up to two volume controls.

4. Important Safety Precautions:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE lyriQ™ AUDIO SYSTEM.

• Do not attempt to service, move or change any component of this system unless you are qualified to do so.

• This system should be installed by a qualified installer and must conform to all local building and electrical codes.

• Do not apply power to the lyriQ™ Audio System until all compo nents have been installed and all wiring has been properly

terminated.

• Do not attempt to terminate, change or un-install any wiring without first turning off power at the lyriQ™ Audio System which
is located in the enclosure. Unplug the power transformer/s that is/are p owering the lyriQ™ Audio System from the power
outlet before proceeding with wiring terminations or changes.

• Install each component of this system away from heat sources such as HVAC ducts/registers, stoves or any other heat
source.

• Do not expose any component that was designed for indoor use to moisture. Doing so can create electrical hazards or
render the component unusable. Exposure to moisture will also void the warranty on the system.

• Only use a damp cloth to clean the cover plates of th e system components. Do not use vacuum cleane rs, liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
