Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna; increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver; connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
dierent from that to which the receiver is connected, or consult the
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB003 du Canada.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas
produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un
gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à
l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.

BTA-1
Inline Bluetooth Local Source Module
for A-BUS® Systems
Preliminary TUV Manual
Overview
The BTA-1 Bluetooth Module is an A-BUS compatible Local
Source Module that enables the use of a portable media
player, smartphone, or other Bluetooth equipped device to
wirelessly transmit audio content to an A-BUS keypad. Like
all A-BUS Local Source Modules, the BTA-1 will interrupt
any audio signal that precedes it automatically when in
use. It easily integrates with existing systems and does not
require dedicated wiring. It is installed anywhere inline of the
CAT-5 cable between the A-BUS keypad and hub or controller.
There are no other connections or power supplies required.
It can even be programmed with a custom name for easy
identication using a USB cable and a free software download
from Russound.

Read all instructions before starting the installation.
Determine the ideal location for the BTA-1 Inline Bluetooth
Local Source Module, keeping in mind that structural elements,
concrete, and other 2.4 gHz transmitters may interfere with
the signal. BTA-1 Inline Bluetooth Local Source Module may
be located anywhere inline between the A-BUS hub/controller
and A-BUS keypad. It will work with other inline A-BUS local
source modules noting that the one closest to the keypad will
have priority. The BTA-1 Inline Bluetooth Local Source Module
can be programmed with a custom name using a USB cable.
If not programmed before installation, it should be accessible
to do so after installation.
Route a single CAT-5 cable from the A-BUS® Audio
Distribution Hub to the BTA-1 Inline Bluetooth Local Source
Module location. Then route another single CAT-5 cable
from the BTA-1 to the A-BUS keypad or another A-BUS local
source module if used i.e. A-LC3. Terminate the end of the
CAT-5 cables connected to the BTA-1 with RJ-45 plugs using
the T568A standard wiring conguration. Once connected
to the A-BUS® hub, the blue LED will light (solidly) indicating
the local source module is powered and ready to be paired to
your Bluetooth enabled device.
You can rename the BTA-1 device ID by connecting a USB
cable to your computer. Free programming software can be
downloaded from the Support Center at www.russound.com
along with instructions to rename the BTA-1 to identify the
zone it belongs to, (ie. bedroom, kitchen, outdoors, etc…).
Pairing your BTA-1
Turn on a Bluetooth enabled source i.e. media player,
smartphone, or computer. Open the Bluetooth menu and
enable the Bluetooth pairing feature on the device. Select
the A-BUS® Bluetooth product by its congured name from
the list of available Bluetooth products. Once paired, the blue
LED will blink once every three seconds to show there is an
active connection to the Bluetooth source.
playback. The blue LED will ash slowly, and return to a solid
blue state when the connection is lost due to range limitation
or disconnected manually.
Select the desired audio from the device and start the
Connection Diagram
Testing
For Local Source congurations
The congured zone should turn on, select the Bluetooth
source input, and set the volume level accordingly.
Test function
Use the Bluetooth source to change volume level – a change
should be heard.
Use the Bluetooth source to change the audio content.
Disable Bluetooth on the source device then re-enable it
and reconnect to the BTA-1 and recheck all functions.
Normal Use
Only one device at a time may be actively paired with the
BTA-1. Activate the Bluetooth feature from the source device
and connect or ‘pair’ with the BTA-1 selecting its assigned
name. Choose your music and start playing. The BTA-1 will
automatically override any audio signal that precedes it in the
system. Note that any additional local source modules in line
between the BTA-1 and the A-BUS keypad will override the
BTA-1 audio. When nished, disconnect your device from the
BTA-1 or turn o the Bluetooth feature of the source device.
If you move your device out of range from the module it
will automatically sever the connection. If you are unable to
connect to the receiver, another device within range of the
receiver is probably connected.
Troubleshooting
My music is not coming out of the stereo speakers
Solutions
Ensure the A-BUS® Amplied keypad is turned on and
volume is set at a suitable level and not muted.
Ensure the volume on your Bluetooth enabled source i.e.
media player, smartphone, or computer is set to a suitable
level.
Ensure the RJ-45 input and output cables are correctly and
rmly connected to the receiver module.
Ensure your Bluetooth enabled source i.e. media player,
smartphone, or computer is within the 50 ft. (15m) range of
the BTA-1 module.
Ensure the BTA-1 module is powered and the blue LED is
solidly on (device not connected to a Bluetooth enabled
device).
Ensure the BTA-1 module is powered and the blue LED is
ashing once every three seconds (indicating your device is
connected via Bluetooth technology).
