URC HDA-130 Single Zone Amplifier Owner’s Manual

URC HDA-130 Single Zone Amplifier

Introduction

URC’s HDA-130 amplifier delivers incredible performance, reliability, and powerful amplification to any audio zone.
The HDA-130 amplifier is designed with ICEpower technology to provide a robust distributed audio system.
Using URC’s HDA amplifiers in conjunction with URC architectural in-ceiling speakers delivers an incredible high-fidelity audio experience throughout the home or business.
HDA products are NOT compatible with URC’s legacy DMS amplifiers.

Features and Benefits

• Single-Zone Amplifier: Each amplifier channel is rated @ 30 Watts RMS/Channel into 8Ω, 70 Watts Peak Power Output per channel.

• HDA Audio Streams: This device supports up to two (2) audio sources that are converted into a digital “high resolution” audio stream over the network.

• Source Sharing: Any zone controlled via an HDA amplifier or I/O device has access to the system’s HDA Audio Streams

• Flexible Zone Linking: Link one or more zones on the fly via Total Control’s Rooms Menu or have your programmer configure a “Party Mode” button. Room Linking is an easy way to distribute audio across the system.

• Preamplifier Output for Subwoofer: Connection available for simple setup and addition of a subwoofer.

• Integrated Audio Sensor: Each available input on the HDA-130 has
  built-in audio sensing capabilities. These sensors can be used to trigger programmed events or activities.

• Zone Input Ducking: The HDA-130 has the ability to “fade in” an audio input over the currently selected audio input.
  The perfect solution to briefly lower the volume on the current source to make an audio announcement or doorbell chime.

• Power Configuration Options: The HDA-130 can be powered via PoE+, PoE++, or the supplied 48V DC adapter.

Parts List

The HDA-130 amplifier includes:

• 1x HDA-130 System Controller

Front Panel Description

There are three (3) LEDs and a button on the front panel of the HDA-130:

1.  Power LED: Indicates one (1) of the following:
   • Solid Blue: Power has been applied to the device and it has successfully initialized.
   • Off: Power has been removed from the device.
2.  Status Light: Indicates one (1) of the following:
   • Solid Blue: The device has been programmed with Total Control software and is ready for operation.
   • Blinking Blue: The device is receiving a download from the Total Control programming software.
   • Blinking Green: The device is receiving a firmware upgrade, this light continues to blink until the update is fully applied.
   • Off: The device has not been programmed with Total Control software.
3.  Ethernet LED: Indicates one (1) of the following:
   • Solid Blue: The device has received an IP address from the local network.
   •  Blinking Blue: The device is connected to the local network; however, it has not received an IP address.
   • Off: The device is not connected to the local network.
4.  Reset Button: There are two (2) ways to press this button:
   • Single Press: Tap the Reset button to power cycle the device.
   • Factory Reset: Press-n-hold the Reset button for 10 seconds or more. This option cannot be reversed, once the device has been factory defaulted it requires re-programming.

Rear Panel Description

Below are the ports located at the rear of the HDA-130:

1.  DC IN: Connect the supplied 48V DC adapter to this port to power the HDA-130 amplifier.

2.  LAN: Full Duplex Gigabit LAN ONLY, for audio streaming and zone control (Wi-Fi NOT supported, device must be hard-lined to the network).
   This port is also used for PoE+/++.

3.  Analog/Digital Inputs: Both of the following inputs can be used simultaneously to provide two (2) HDA “high-definition” audio streams:

   • Analog – With supplied 3.5 mm adapter.
   • PCM Toslink (Optical)

4.  Sub Out: Standard RCA connector, signal is left + right full range.

5.  Speaker Output: Terminal block/phoenix style connector that can be configured one of the following ways:

   • Powered by External 48V DC Adapter (supplied): Output power of the amplifier is 2 x 30W RMS per channel @ 8Ω.
   • Powered by PoE++ Adapter (not included): Output power of the amplifier is 2 x 30W RMS per channel @ 8Ω.
   • Powered by PoE+ Adapter (not included): Output power of the amplifier is 2 x 15W RMS per channel @ 8Ω.

Installing the HDA-130

The HDA-130 amplifier is supplied with two (2) “L” shaped brackets for mounting on the wall or secure vertical surface.

1.  Insert the supplied screws into the two (2) keyed slots on the L shaped bracket (as displayed on the image at the right). This L shaped bracket can be pre-installed and the HDA-130 amplifier can be inserted afterwards.

2.  Insert the supplied screws into the four (4) keyed slots for wall mounting.
   Please note, the keyhole diameter is 0.48”/12.5mm.

3.  Ensure that all screws have been installed securely.

Connecting Speakers

The HDA-130 can be placed nearly anywhere and deliver power to a local zone. To connect a speaker wire:

1.  Connect the speaker wire to the positive (red) and negative (black) to the wire terminals available on the speaker (be mindful of proper polarity). Please refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for specific instructions on wiring the speaker.
2.  Loosen the integrated slotted-style screws (turn counter-clockwise) and remove the phoenix connector from the terminal block on the HDA-130.
3.  Secure the speaker wire into the phoenix connector (using the integrated slotted-styled screws), and reinsert it into the terminal block.
4.  Using the integrated slotted-styled screws on the left and right sides of the phoenix connector (image at the right), secure the phoenix connector to the terminal block.

Verify the polarity of the speakers and the wires before returning the phoenix connector into the terminal block on the amplifier.

Network Setup

When using more than one (1) HDA device, URC’s HDA-SW5 Network Switch is REQUIRED on the local network.
For more information of the HDA-SW5 Network Switch, please refer to the HDA- SW5 Owner’s Manual.
Although 3rd Party AVB switches may be utilized, they are NOT supported by URC’s Technical Support team.

Connecting the HDA-130 to the Network

1.  Connect an ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the head-end network switch. If no switch is connected to the network then connect the ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the local router (Luxul preferred).
2.  Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to any available LAN port on the HDA-SW5.
3.  Connect another ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the HDA-SW5 Network Switch.
4.  Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to the ethernet port found at the rear of the HDA-130 (page 3).
5.  Configure the HDA-130 to a DHCP/MAC reservation within the local router and program the device into the new or existing Total Control system. A certified URC integrator is REQUIRED to integrate the HDA-130 into a new or existing Total Control system.
