AVC PRODUCTS

The AVC system is a new, modular approach to amplifying and
distributing audio for residential and commercial applications.
Depending on installation requirements, your AVC system will be
made up ofthe following products,as shown in Figure 1:

WARNING:TO PREVENT THE RISK OF FIRE OR

ELECTRIC SHOCK,DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - DO NOT OPEN

AVC100R

The AVC100R is a rotary-knob Amplified Volume Control.It provides
the equivalent of 30 watts of amplification at the head end of
conventional audio system run over 100 feet of wire.The knob action
continuously va r ie s t he volu me of the internal amplifier from zero to
maximum volume.The unit provides 4-conductor quick-disconnect
terminals for input, a looping output, and connection to local
speakers.The AVC100R fits into a standard single-gang plaster ring.

AVCDWP2

The DWP2 is a Driver Wall Plate for audio distribution ofa connected
stereo source and routing of AVC power from a connected
recom m e n d ed power supply.The unit fits into a standard single-gang
plaster ring. Three parallel four conductor outputs with quick
disconnect terminals are provided. One DWP2 may be used with up
to 100 AVC100R/SLs via standard 16/4 or 14/4 wire.The DWP2 also
provides installer-adjustable gain controls for setting the maximum
system volume level (see the detail in Figure 2 on the next page).

AVC100SL

The AVC100SL is a slider-controlled Amplified Volume Control.It is
identical in operation and specifications to the AVC100R, except a
continuously-variable slider is provided in place of a rotary knob.

Recommended Power Supply

Any UL Listed regulated switching power supply, input rated
90-240Vac, output rated 24Vdc, 2.5A with 2.1mm mini-plug and
marked “Class 2”(see specifications on page 4).

AVC SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION

The AVC system can be connected in any of the following ways:

•Daisy-chain (series) wiring

•Home-run (parallel) wiring

•Any combination of daisy-chain and home-run wir ing
Study the examples in Figures 2 through 3 (on the next two pages) to

learn how to interconnect systems using these wiring schemes.

NOTE:Do not connect a signal power cable to the “SPEAKER” output
connector on any AVC100R/SL.Doing so may damage the unit.

System Expansion

There is virtually no limit on how many AVC100R/SLs are
interconnected in a system, as long as the following conditions
are met:

1. One (1) recommended po w er s up pl y +24 Vdc pow ers u p to s ix (6)
AVC100R/SLs. If additional AVC100R/SLs are required in the
installation,connect one (1) recommended power supply for each
additional group ofsix (6) AVC100R/SLs (see detail in Figure 2 o n
page 2).

2. One (1) AVCDWP2 Driver Wall Plate can drive a system of up to
100 AVC100R/SLs.Beyond that,you will need to divide the sys t em
so it is driven from two or more AVCDWP2s.

Adjusting System Levels

The AVCDWP2 Driver Wall Plate includes two trim pots for individual
adjustment of the system’s left and right audio channels (see detail in
Figure 2 on p age 2).At the factory,both trim pots have been set for
+10 dB gain on all three sets of outputs. However, the trim pots
provide an adjustment range from OFF (full CCW) to +19 dB
(full CW).

Mono Operation

Each AVC100R or AVC100SL is preset at the factory for stereo
operat i on . However,thi s c a n b e e as i ly ch a ng e d to m ono op e r at i on by
moving an internal jumper (see detail in Figure 3 on page 3).In this
mode, the blended mono signals are routed to both left and
right outputs.

Fuse Replacement

Each AVC100R/SL or AVCDWP2 is protected by an internal fuse (see
detail in Figure 3 on page 3).For safety concerns,only replace a fuse
with the same type and rating.
