1. Power on / off.

Switch to “ON” position to turn power on and to “OFF” to turn
power off. The indicator will remain illuminated when the unit
is switched off via remote control.

2. IR (infra red) receiver windows.

This is for remote control operation. The remote wall plates
also have IR receivers and remote control operation is
identical for the main unit or wall plates.

3. Volume control for channel left and right output.

This volume knob is used to adjust the system output level.
When the volume control is adjusted, each LED indicator has
10 steps / increments, providing a total of 100 increments (ie
0 - 100%) Note there is no balance control in this unit.

Pushing the volume knob provides a channel mute function.
This switch is a toggle function. Pushing once mutes the
channel and pushing again returns the signal to its
former level.

4A.4B. Tone controls (bass and treble).

The centre LED indicator represents 0dB. Each LED indicator
is either a boost or defeat as follows:
1 LED =2dbB
2 LED’s =4dB
3 LED’s =6dB
4 LED’s =9dB
5 LED’s =12dB

Pressing either the up or down bass or treble selector button
once displays the current setting. Press either up or down to
adjust to the desired setting.

4C. Source input selector.

This selects the input channel that is to be directed to the
output channel being adjusted. Pressing either the up or
down source input selector button once displays the current
input source. Press either up or down to select the desired
source.

5.Microphone ON/OFF switch.

This switch enables or disables the microphone signal to
pass through that zone.

6. LED display for/volume/bass/treble/function.

This displays current volume level. When any of the input
source, bass or treble buttons are pressed the LED’s display
the current setting for the function selected.

7.Level controls for microphone inputs.

This controls the microphone level for either the front panel
jack or the rear panel screw connector inputs.

8.Microphone input jacks.

We only recommend balanced (tip ring sleeve) microphones
for use with this item. The front panel inputs will only accept
dynamic microphones.

9. Microphone bass and treble controls.

These control both the front and rear microphones.

10. Mute function.

Sets muting of input sources to ON or OFF.--

11. External mute input.

This is a 0 volts switch contact. Short the terminals together
to mute the music sources. This is for a push to talk
microphone. For this to function, the microphone button on
the desired “muting” channel(s) must be set to ON.

12. Mute volume

This switch sets the vox muting sensitivity for microphone
input 1.

13. 13 Rear microphone input jack Mic-1, and Mic-2.

This is a terminal for balanced microphones. To connect
unbalanced microphones use a wire link and connect
“negative“ and ground terminals together.
When using phantom powered microphones set the phantom
DIP switch on (down position).

14. Mic / line switch.

This allows a line level input to be connected to the rear
input terminals.

15. Input sources left and right inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4.

16. Outputs left and right 1, 2 3, and 4.

17. Cat 5e sockets for remote wall plate wiring.

18. RS232 control.

See page 5 for RS232 control details and list of commands.

19. 240V ac fuse.

If the fuse blows, please disconnect the power cord and
replace fuse using the same value 1.0Aamp M205 (20 x
5mm) size SLOW BLOW type. If the fuse blows again contact
your dealer for further servicing.

20. AC input. IEC 3 pin type connector

Remote control functions:

21. Power ON/OFF

22. Source selection 1-4.

23. Volume / Treble / Bass adjustment Zone 1.

24. Volume / Treble / Bass adjustment Zone 2.

25. Volume / Treble / Bass adjustment Zone 3.

26. Volume / Treble / Bass adjustment Zone 4.

Optional A 5432 Zone Wallplates

This keypad is programmed at the factory with a range of
user selectable source descriptions. Each keypad has been
preset at the factory with the default zone number of 01 and
all 4 source names have been assigned the name AUX.

Keypad Installation
& Set Up

The zone number MUST be set
BEFORE the keypad is installed in
the wall and BEFORE any changes
are made to the source name. This
will prevent accidentally erasing
programming on one keypad while
changing the zone number on
another keypad (see Fig. 3).

An optional stereo audio source
wall plate (eg 2 x RCA or 3.5mm
plate) can be connected to the
wall plate.

Connect the Cat 5e cable using standard T568A wiring format
(see page 4 fig. 1).

Switch on the power for the A 5430 control unit and press the
mute / power button on the keypad to turn it on. The unit will
display PWR-ON.

Press the zone ID button on the end of the wall plate (see
page 4 fig. 2) and the zone number will be displayed on the
LCD screen. Press and release the zone button again to
increment the zone number one by one until the required
zone number is displayed. Each zone requires a unique ID.

Once the zone numbers have been assigned the keypad can
be installed.

1. To enter the source name set up screen, press and hold

the source up button for approx 7sec. The text name
NAME-Y will appear for a moment and the IR indicator will
begin flashing.

2. The source number will now be displayed to the right of

the volume level numbers on the LCD and corresponds to
the source input number on the back of the controller.
Note that the source number will be displayed for about 10

seconds and will then disappear, but you can continue to
assign a source name to that source number until you are
ready to assign the next source.

3. Press volume up or volume down buttons to identify the

source number to be programmed.

4. Once source number 1 is displayed, use the source up and

source down buttons to scroll through the list of source
names until you select the source you require for that
input. See table 1.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of the 4 sources. Remember

to select NA for any source input in which no component
source is connected or if you want to skip that source in
that zone.

6. Once all sources have been assigned a source name press

Enter to exit set up. Please note that after 10 - 15 seconds
of inactivity the keypad will also automatically exit set up,
saving your last setting.

The text NAME-N will appear for a moment and the IR
indicator will stop flashing once you exit set up.

(Note that if the IR indicator light remains lit after exiting set
up, power off the keypad and then power back on.)

Using the keypad

The keypad will enter sleep mode after approximately 20
seconds of inactivity. To “wake up” the keypad simply press
any button.

Keypad functions:

27. Source up/down: These buttons are used to scroll

through the sources available to the zone that you are in.

28. Volume up/down: These buttons increase and decrease

the volume with range from 00 - 99. The volume level is also
displayed as a 10 position bar graph.

29. Enter: Used when assigning source names during setup.

30. Mute: Once powered on press the button to mute the

speakers in that zone. When muted the LCD will indicate
“MUTE”. Press the mute button again to restore the music to
previous level.

31. 3.5mm Stereo socket: Allows connection of external

music source. This will take priority over rear RCA connected
input source.
