Applications
Broadcast automation audio switcher with trigger inputs, studio source selector, IP codec source selector, and transmitter site (STL) source selector.

CAUTION!
Installation of the ACS 4.4 G2 in high RF environments should be performed with care. Shielded cable is suggested for all control, audio inputs and outputs. All shields should be tied to the “GND” terminal on each channel. The station ground should be connected to the chassis ground screw (GND) located on the right side of the chassis as viewed from the rear. For lightning protection devices, check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com. It is recommended that all cables connected to the ACS 4.4 G2 be looped through ferrite cores to suppress RF. Surge protection with RF filtering such as the Tripp Lite “ISOBAR 4” is also suggested for the power supply.

Front Panel

The ACS 4.4 G2 utilizes a 1/2-rack aluminum enclosure (8.50” x 7.10” x 1.576” (WDH). The front panel features one rotary encoder control knob, a take button, eight input level trimmers, 22 LED indicators, a LED VU meter, a ¼” T/R/S stereo headphone jack  and headphone level control.
The switcher can be configured for the following audio switching modes via dipswitch: Overlap (default): Overlaps the selected (first) audio input with the audio from the new audio input while the button for the new source is held down. Both channels will be fed to the output until the button for the new audio input is released, at which time the first audio source will be switched off.
Interlock: Connects one input to an output, selecting another input disconnects all other inputs from that output.
Mix: Multiple inputs may be routed to the output – Push the take button once to connect, to mute press the take button again.

Front Panel Operation

Rear Panel
The ACS 4.4 G2’s rear panel hosts the audio and remote-control connectors, chassis ground terminal, multi-drop RS-232 modular connector, and 3-pin universal power supply connector. Installation is simplified with RJ45 jacks for balanced audio I/O and plug- in euroblock screw terminals for audio expansion and remote control.
RS-232 Serial Port (RJ-11 Jack)
This RJ-11 jack is used to connect the ACS 4.4 G2 to a computer’s COM port for RS-232 serial operation using the included reverse modular cable with 9-pin “S9” female D-sub adapter. If your PC does not have a built-in RS-232 serial port but does have USB,  then a USB-to-serial adapter cable is a good way to add USB serial capability.
We recommend USB-to-serial adapter cables that use the FTDI chipset and have had good results with the model “SBT-FTDI” from Sabrent.

Audio Inputs
Each of the four stereo inputs are balanced bridging (20K) at a nominal line level of +4dBu. Input connections should be made to the + and – input pins for balanced operation, or to the + input pins and grounding the – side for unbalanced input operation.
Front panel multi-turn level trimmers are provided for adjustment of each input channel.

Audio Outputs

The ACS 4.4 G2 provides four balanced low impedance stereo outputs. Output connections should be made to the + and – outputs for balanced operation, or to the + output and ground for unbalanced output operation.
The output levels may be adjusted with the internal single-turn trimmers. CAUTION: In no case should either the + or – OUTPUTS be connected to ground.
Connecting the Audio Inputs and Outputs  The input channels are numbered from 1 through 4 on the rear panel.
The ACS 4.4 G2 interfaces to external audio equipment through RJ45 jacks using the standard  audio pinout. Follow the RJ45 connection tables below for the desired audio input and output connections, which appear on the rear of the unit.

RJ45 Audio Input Jacks (J5)| RJ45 Audio Output Jacks (J7)

RJ45 Audio Jack Pinout:
The input and output RJ45 jacks conform to the RJ45 audio wiring standards. Please use shielded twisted pair Cat5e or Cat6 cables and connectors (STP).

CAUTION!
Installation of the ACS 4.4 G2 in high RF environments should be performed with care. The station ground should be connected to the designated “Chs Gnd” ground terminal.

Installation

Cable Preparation
The terminals block connectors used for input channel expansion and remote- control connections accommodate wire sizes from 16 – 28 AWG, solid or stranded. Before installing a wire, remove the euro-block screw terminal plug and turn each terminal capture  screw fully counterclockwise. Strip each conductor to a length of 0.25” and insert the conductor fully into the terminal. Turn the capture screw fully clockwise to secure the conductor. Verify that no bare/stray wires are exposed.

Input Channel Expansion
Input expansion may be accomplished by using two ACS 4.4 G2 switchers and connecting a shielded cable between the first ACS 4.4 G2’s EXT1L unbalanced input terminal and the second units’ output.
The cable shield should be connected to the ground terminal. Follow the same procedure for the EXT1R channel. The above example provides 8 inputs, with the first switcher providing the main output.

(Bottom row, TB-1)

Audio Input and Output Level Adjustment
Once the input and output connections have been made, the input levels can be adjusted. The switcher is factory set for unity gain so normally no additional adjustment is necessary. Recommended average input levels would be in the range of 0 dBu to +8 dBu.  Should input levels need to be changed, trimmers are accessible from the front panel. Each stereo input is labeled and has two trimmers, one for the left channel one for the right channel.
Calibrating audio levels on the switcher:

1. Remove power from the unit and remove the circuit board from the chassis by  unscrewing the four rear panel screws and sliding the rear panel and circuit board out of the back of the chassis.
2. Feed a reference signal into input channel 1. A 2 kHz sine wave test tone at +4 dBu is used at the factory. Connect a Hi-Z dB meter to the TEST jack JP2.
3. Re-apply power. Adjust the left and right input 1 trimmers to a zero level on your dB meter.
4. Disconnect the dB meter from JP2 and connect a balanced stereo input dB meter to the output. Adjust the output trimmer R68 (Output 1 Left) and R83 (Output 1 Right) for the desired output level. +4 dBu is set at the factory. Make sure input 1 to output 1  is selected using the front panel controls. Repeat this step for Output 2 (R97, R112), Output 3 (R128, R141), and Output 4 (R156, R170).
5. Once input 1 and the four outputs have been calibrated the rest of the inputs maybe  calibrated by routing them to output 1 and adjusting the input level trimmers.

PIP/Trigger Inputs

The 16 “PIP” (GPI/Trigger) inputs are used to monitor external contact closures and pass that information back to the control/automation computer. Response time is set for 50ms minimum by default but may be configured from 40ms to 2.54 seconds.
The inputs are pulled high to 5 volts through internal 22KΩ resistors and activated by pulling the input low, to ground. These inputs supply status to any polling serial device (when the unit ID is set to 0 (ZERO), no polling of inputs is required. Polling IS  required if the unit ID is set above zero).

Silence Sensors
The each of the four outputs on the ACS 4.4 G2 are monitored by a silence sensor.
The factory default alarm delay is set at 10 seconds, with a threshold of -25 dB, while the restore time is set at two seconds. Upon silence delay detection, the appro- priate “SS” led will illuminate and the corresponding (SSx) open collector will go logic low for the  duration of the silence. The sensor may be programmed for:

• Number of seconds of silence (delay) that must be present before an alarm state is reached or terminated.
• Number of seconds that valid audio (restore) must be present before an alarm state is cleared.
• Alarm threshold of: -20, -25, -30, -35, or off (disabled).

Status Open Collector and Silence Sense Open Collector Outputs
The ACS 4.4 G2 has four open collector status outputs labelled, OC1, OC2, OC3, and OC4 respectively. The status open collector (OCx) output for the selected channel will go low providing a return (ground) for an LED indicator,
TTL/CMOS logic, or relay. External pull-up resistors may be required in some installations, voltages must be limited to 6 VDC at 100 mA maximum.
In addition to the status open collector outputs, four silence sense alarm open collector outputs are also present labelled SS1, SS2, SS3, and SS4 respectively.
When the output silence sensor is enabled, the open collector will go low when silence is detected and stay low until valid audio returns to the output. External pull-up resistors may be required in some installations, voltages must be limited to 6 VDC at 100 mA  maximum.
The open collector outputs are located on pins 1-8 of the bottom TB-2 terminal block connector.

Relay Outputs
The ACS 4.4 G2’s two SPDT relay outputs can be used to control external equipment using contact closures. The relays are controlled by serial commands. Each relay can be commanded by serial command to: pulse, latch on, or latch off. The relay connections  are located on pins 9-16 of the bottom TB-2 terminal block connector.

(Bottom row, TB-2)

Setting Configuration Dip-switches
The ACS 4.4 G2 is equipped with an 8-position configuration dipswitch labelled SW2. The dipswitch specifies a 2-bit unit ID, serial baud rate, audio modes (mix, interlock, overlap), and other features listed below. The unit must be removed from the case to  access the Dipswitches. Remove power and any cables from the unit. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screws holding the rear panel, along with the ground screw. Slide the circuit board assembly out the back of the chassis. Located the dipswitch labeled  SW2. Set the Dipswitches for the desired configuration listed below. When finished, carefully slide the circuit assembly back into the chassis, reinstall the rear panel with the four panel screws. Follow the configuration description below.

Connecting the RS-232 Serial Port

The multi-drop RS-232 transceiver always switches between transmit and receive mode, unless the unit ID is zero. In that case, the unit will always leave the RS-232 transceiver enabled. Use the provided modular (S9) 9-pin D-sub connector adapter and reversed modular cord to connect the ACS 4.4 G2’s serial connector to your serial port.  

The ACS 4.4 G2 is supplied with a standard reverse modular (RJ11 6p4c) telephone voice cable and a Broadcast Tools S9, 9-pin female D-sub modular adapter for serial control. Only use the modular cord that is supplied with the ACS 4.4 G2 or a replacement that reverses (X-over). Connect the cable between the ACS 4.4 G2 and your computer’s COM port or USB adapter cable (optional). The ACS 4.4 G2 may be serially controlled at baud rates of 9600 or 38400 baud. The unit is shipped set for 9600 baud, with 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit. Use a serial terminal like PuTTY, Tera Term, or HyperTerminal using the protocol of 9600-N-8-1. Set the mode to: DIRECT, Flow Control to: NONE and emulation to: ANSI. PuTTY and HyperTerminal set up instructions are available on our web site under “Downloads”.

Connecting Multiple ACS 4.4 G2’s to a Single Serial Port
Multiple ACS 4.4 G2 switchers may be cascaded serially to operate from the same serial port. The first step is to assign unit IDs to each ACS 4.4 G2. For example: you can assign unit ID 1 to the first switcher and unit ID 2 to the second switcher. You must parallel  the serial ports of the ACS 4.4 G2’s, to do this plug the male end of a duplex modular adapter (Allen-Tel AT202-6) into the supplied female (S9) DB-9 to RJ-11 adapter, then attach the supplied modular line cords into each of the duplex modular adapter  receptacles and the other ends into each ACS 4.4 G2 modular receptacles. See the diagram below. NOTE: Up to four ACS 4.4 G2’s may be daisy chained by using the above description and an Allen-Tel AT150, 5-jack modular adapter.

Serial Burst Mode Commands
Burst mode allows a computer or ASCII terminal to control and interrogate the unit. This section defines all burst mode commands accepted by the ACS 4.4 G2. Each burst mode commands starts with an asterisk (*) followed by a single decimal digit that corresponds to the unit (ID) address 0-3 and one or more ASCII characters specifying the command. No carriage-return or linefeed is required to terminate the command except for those few commands of variable length if the maximum length is not sent. If the command requested a response, the response would consist of an upper case “S”, followed by the unit address, and then the specific response. If acknowledgements are enabled, successful commands are responded to with “RRR” while errors get an “EEE” response. The syntax of each command is given below. The syntax shows the command exactly as it should be sent, except that lower case characters represent values that should be substituted.
