4. Wiring and Connections
The Savant IP Audio control connections send data to control a device and receive data to display current status on the user interfaces or trigger a
system action. Each port type may support multiple protocols that are determined by the logical connection within Blueprint.
4.1. RS-232 Wiring
SMA-5000, PAV-SIPA125, PAV-AIM7C all use the same RS-232 wiring.
TIPS:
– Savant recommends planning control connections and protocols to be used prior to building any cables and connecting equipment. This will ensure
that devices will respond to commands and will not be damaged by an incorrect cable configuration.
– When installing wire in screw down terminals, strip a 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire and twist the strands together. This will allow for the
exposed wire to be inserted into the terminal up to the insulation eliminating stray strands that may cause shorting.
RS-232 Pinout
RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Control Adapters
Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for more
information on RJ-45 to DB9 adapters.
NOTES:
– CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for flow control based on the profile used in the configuration.
– The IP Audio devices does not support RS-422/485
IMPORTANT!
If you are using RJ-45 to DB9 adapters not supplied by Savant:
– Ensure that any wires required for communication/control are terminated within the adapter.
– Ensure that all wires NOT required for communication/control are NOT terminated in the connector.
– Ensure that the unused wires in the connector are cut to prevent them from shorting out, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45 connector on
the controller side.

4.2. IR Wiring
SMA-5000
PAV-SIPA125/PAV-AIM7C
IR connections are made using 4-pin IR connectors supplied
with the device. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a
screw located at the top of the connector.
IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions
– Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from
the controller’s location.
– Use of 3rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away
from the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.
IR Pinout
NOTE:
While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 3 and 4
follow the same wiring as 1 and 2.
IR connections are made using 6-pin IR Connectors supplied
with the device. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a
screw located at the top of the connector.
IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions
– Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from
the controller’s location.
– Use of 3rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away
from the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.
IR Pinout
NOTE:
While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 4 to 6
follow the same wiring as 1 to 3.
4.3. Speaker Wiring
The SMA-5000 and the PAV-SIPA125 use the same Speaker wiring. Speaker wiring is made using 4-pin Speaker Connectors supplied with the IP
Audio devices. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a screw located at the top of the connector. Speaker connectors accept up to 12AWG
speaker cable.
NOTES:
– Wire order shown does not represent any wiring standard. It may be different than other models.
– While not shown in the diagram above, Zones 2 to 4 follow the same wiring as Zone 1.

4.4. GPIO
The PAV-SIPA125 and PAV-AOM8C have a GPIO that use the
same wiring. General Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIO) are binary
I/O ports used on Savant controllers to trigger an action within
the system. Events can control a device, such as turning on an
amplifier (output) or detecting a state change for a device (input)
to perform a workflow. Pin 2 is used for input or output depending
on configuration.
GPIO Pull Down Resistor (PD) Usage
GPIO pins are configured as inputs and are pulled high to 12V while the host is booting up. To make the GPIO signal low during a host reboot
and/or a power cycle, attach the GPIO 1 pin to the PD pin. The PD pin is a 1K ohm pull down resistor (to signal ground) which keeps the GPIO
output below 0.8V during processor boot times.
4.5. Relay
Relay ports are used when a device is controlled via a normally
open (NO) or normally closed (NC) relay.
4.6. Network Connection
The Savant IP Audio devices use a standard RJ-45 port complying with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. This port also supports Audio Video
Bridging (AVB) or Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) over Ethernet (AVB/TSN, IEEE 802.1). Up to sixteen IP Audio devices can be connected using
AVB/TSN compliant switching. For more information on this, see the Expansion section.
4.7. AC Power Connection
SURGE PROTECTION!
Use a surge-protected circuit for all components and power supplies requiring 100/240V (AC 50/60 Hz) source power.
ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT!
The source power outlet and power supply input power sockets should be easily accessible to disconnect power in the event of an electrical hazard or
malfunction.
Power Management Recommendations
Savant recommends a pure sine wave uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the ability to shut down the Savant Host before the battery runs out
of power. Never remove power from the Savant devices before shutting them down. See Appendix E for more information.

4.8. Checking and Replacing the Fuse
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord from the AC outlet and the unit before replacing the fuse.
IMPORTANT:
The orientation of the cartridge within the unit and location of the fuse within the cartridge are crucial to proper operation. Make note of the orientation
of the cartridge and the fuse location within the cartridge before removing.
1. Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord.
2. Open the fuse cover on the AC power input using a flat head screwdriver or similar thin flat head tool. This will allow access to the fuse
cartridge.
3. Using a flat head screwdriver or similar thin flat head tool, gently loosen the cartridge and pull the cartridge out of the unit slowly. As the

Appendix A: Network Requirements
Savant requires the use of business class/commercial grade network equipment throughout the network to ensure the reliability of communication
between devices. These higher quality components also allow for more accurate troubleshooting when needed.
Device Network Connections
Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN) or subnet as the host. Savant recommends not implementing any type of traffic or
packet shaping in your network topology for the Savant devices as this may interfere with performance.
AVB Requirements
Savant requires a AVB/TSN Compliant Switch. The AVB/TSN switch should be an extension of the current network.
Managing IP Addresses
To ensure that the IP Address will not change due to a power outage, a static IP Address or DHCP reservation should be configured. Savant recommends
using DHCP reservation within the router. By using this method, static IP Addresses for all devices can be managed from a single UI avoiding the need to
access devices individually.
Setting a Static IP Address
Refer to the Appendix C.
Setting DHCP Reservation
Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.
Network Changes
Savant recommends performing one of the following steps to refresh the IP connection after connecting to a new network, changing routers, or if the IP
Address range is changed in the current router. This will reset any IP connection and ensure that the host is communicating with the network correctly.
– Cycle Power
– Disconnect the Pro Audio 4 from the power source.
– Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.
– Hot Plug the Ethernet (LAN) Connection
– Disconnect the Ethernet (LAN) connection from the controller.
– Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.

Appendix E: Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Savant does not recommend any particular brand or model UPS, however there are a couple of factors that should be considered. It is important that the UPS
does not only work during complete power loss but protects devices and their functionality during events like surges and brownouts. It is not uncommon for a
residence or small business to see variations in power service that do not result in a complete black-out. These periods can be the most frustrating to end users
as they do not realize what the cause of the operation disturbance may be.
Below are some specific design considerations when assembling your power management designs.
– Pure Sine Wave Inverter.
– Online/double-conversion power supply.
This type of UPS always supplies power to the equipment this will eliminate any period where the power is interrupted. This will also address many issues if
the site has regular “brown outs” or id the site has frequent under of over voltage situations.
– Max power output.
The UPS needs to be properly sized for the equipment connected to it, and unnecessary loads should not be included on the UPS. For instance, putting an
audio amplifier on the UPS will either drive up the cost of the UPS system to support the load or drastically shorten the period that the UPS can keep
devices up and running.
Remember to consider devices that you may not have directly installed, for instance modems, routers, switches, APs, PoE injectors, and the like. This is
especially important if you are using software that relies on the network for communication. Power cycling segments of the network can cause network
conflicts. It is important to consider this during your network design and configuration to ensure that there is the greatest likelihood of success.
– “Graceful” shut down.
The UPS should communicate with the devices connected to it so that when necessary they are properly shut down. Many UPS manufacturers offer a
software suite so that hard-drive based devices may go through a 'graceful' shut down procedure. This feature should be vetted in a test environment
prior to implementation so that the integrator understands how the system will respond during shutdown and start-up periods.
– Power consumption monitoring.
It is nice to have the ability to monitor the draw from each outlet to determine if an item is running through a remote console.
– Remote Access.
The ability to remotely power cycle an outlet or a group of outlets.
IMPROTANT!
Be VERY CAUTIOUS using with a UPS with the ability to cycle power an outlet remotely, devices with hard drives DO NOT like to be power cycled in this
manner, and will be damaged by this action. Savant Hosts in particular need to be shut down correctly in order to restart correctly when power is
restored.
– Generators
Generators are not a replacement for a UPS and should be considered as an augment to the UPS. Having a generator on site increases the need for a UPS
because the equipment needs greater protection from power cycles when the generator comes online during testing. A generator is also likely to
introduce electrical conditions like under and over voltage or frequency modulation while running. All of these circumstances stress power supplies and
hard drives increasing the odds of premature failure.
Savant does have a variety of IP & Serial controlled UPS devices currently profiled (these can be found under Trigger Devices).
– The UPS profiles are designed to give the integrator a set of variables and triggers to perform actions with. The Savant User Interface has no default
screen(s) that will auto populate for any of these devices.
– For feedback: All devices support a variety of different state information so make sure to put the device in an example configuration and check what
states you can use as a trigger to make sure the profile supports the information you require. The easiest method to accomplish this is to add the desired
device to a configuration, make the necessary control connection, generate services, create a new trigger (Tools->Review->State Triggers...), add a
transition condition then select the UPS device under the component tab. This will show you all of the states that profile supports in the "State Name"
table.
– For Control: Since many devices have different configurations as to what outlets shut off together etc. Savant recommends that you use a CPT kit and test
the control commands prior to install to verify it is possible to accomplish the automation task which is proposed.
