System Wiring Diagram

Using the A0315 as a local source input module

Using the A0315 as a main source input module

• In this configuration, either the satellite radio tuner or the A0315 connected to the System Input of the P-2014 can act as the main system input.
• If audio is present from both sources, then the Priority switch will determine which source is heard.
• In this example the switch is set to give the A0313 priority.
• A0301 and A0315 can be used as primary system inputs feeding the main hub or as local input modules in each room to override the primary audio source.
• The A0301 is a generic input module that provides a standard L/R RCA input and the A0315 is an iPod® docking station.
• These local input modules should be installed in the CAT5 line between the P-2014 and the A0125.
• Multiple input modules can be installed in one CAT5 run.
• If audio is present at more than one input module the unit closest to A0125 will take priority and be played through the speakers.

Installing the Wall Dock

Installation Steps

1. Connect all wiring.
2. Attach the main chassis to the j-box using the provided four 6-32 screws.
3. Feed the dock connector circuit board through the opening in the front cover.
4. Hang the front cover on the main chassis from the two top tabs.
5. Secure the front cover with the two small screws at the bottom. Place the dock platform over the slide rail and push downward until the retention snaps are engaged. Slide the side protectors
6. into the slots on the main chassis.

Installing the Wall Dock (3-gang Installation)

In some installations it may be desirable to mount a single gang control keypad next to the A0315. To accomplish this, the single gang trim plate can be installed next to the A0315 in a 3-gang junction box.

Follow the steps below: Installation Steps

1. Connect all wiring. Use the correct installation tools: J-110 tool, or 1014 crimp tool.
2. Install keypad and single-gang trim plate in the far left position of the 3-gang junction box. (See details on page 3)
3. Leave off the right side flange and trim piece.
4. Install the iPod dock in the left side of the 3-gang j-box. It will overlap and snap into the single gang trim plate. (See page 5 for details)

Docking the iPod

• The dock platform can slide up to hide the dock connector when the system is not in use.
• Make sure the dock platform is in the down position so the dock connector is exposed (as shown here).
• The sliding dock lever beneath the dock adjusts the position of the dock connector to create a perfect fit for all compatible iPods (see pg. 3 for compatibility).

Using the A0315 with the A0350 & A0127

• The A0350 can accept the signal from one Channel Vision’s CAT5 Audio Devices, such as the A0315.
• Audio from the iPod dock is transmitted via CAT5 into the A0350 while power is supplied from the A0350 to the iPod dock.
• The power supply for the A0350 can be connected directly to the front of the A0350 or via a pair of 16AWG wires to the power screw terminals on the back side.

Stripping and Connecting

Stripping and Connecting CAT5 Wire

CAT5 cable should be stripped with a proper stripping tool, such as ChannelVision’s J-110 tool.

TIA-568A RJ-45 Modular Plug

Troubleshooting

Connection Tips and Troubleshooting

1. Be sure you have connected the CAT5 cable correctly. Follow the TIA-568A standard at both ends. Incorrect wiring can cause distorted sound or prevent the system from working at all!
2. Be sure you have connected the speakers in phase. Follow the label on the product. Out-of-phase speakers can rob the system of its bass. Especially when driving dual-voice-coil speakers.
3. Trouble with IR control?
   • a. Make sure you are using the correct remote control. The A0315 will only respond to IR signals from the Apple Remote produced by Apple Computer or the A0505 produced by Channel Vision. Other 3rd party remote controls are not supported.
   • b. Check the batteries in the remote control and change them if necessary.
4. The A0315 is designed to charge the iPod (see compatibility notes on the page). When the iPod is not playing music, the screen should indicate that the iPod is being charged. If this does not occur, make sure the power is reaching the volume control keypad (press the volume buttons to see if the LED indicators light up).
5. Observe wiring distance specifications. The maximum recommended wire length between the wall dock and the CAT5 audio hub is 250 feet. Although the A0315 may work at greater distances, extreme distances are not recommended because erratic performance may result due to the power loss caused by the CAT5 wire.
6. If you are experiencing problems with your iPod that occur even when it is not docked in the A0315, then please contact Apple customer service for support.
7. If you need additional help troubleshooting the A0315 please contact Channel Vision technical support or check our website for more details: www.channelvision.com.
