Universal wall panel – Bluetooth receiver

The WP220 is a remote universal wall panel with Bluetooth receiver input that can be used in combination with various
AUDAC devices. It was never easier connecting your Bluetooth-enabled device with your audio installation using this wall
plate. It will enable you to transfer high-quality audio over long distances between the wall panel and the loudspeaker, by just
using inexpensive twisted-pair CAT5e or better cabling. On the front side of the wall panel, you’ll find a Bluetooth pair button with a handy LED status to check if its in pairing mode or already connected to a device. Bluetooth pair names can be customized as desired. The Bluetooth receiver works with iPhones, iPods, iOS & Android smartphones, tablets, PC, Laptops, Desktops, etc… The WP220 is available in 2 colors and is compatible with most standard EU (80×80 mm) style in-wall boxes for solid and hollow walls. With the Elegant ABS front panel with glass, it will blend into any environment.

  Pressing the Bluetooth button will put the WP220 into pairing mode. This can be recognized by the blinking of the blue LED. If the wall panel is connected to a device the LED will be constantly lit. If the button is pushed again, the connection will be disconnected and the WP220 will go back into pairing mode.
  

Overview rear panel

The rear of the WP220 contains an 8-pin Terminal Block connector, which is used to connect the wall panel to the twisted pair cabling. Below of the 8-pin connector are some DIP switches. These switches allow certain functions to be turned on or off, depending on the situation the WP is in.

Rear panel description

• 8-pin terminal block (3.81 mm pitch) output connection
  The rear of the WP220 contains an 8-pin Euro-Terminal Block connector, where the wall panel must be connected to twisted pair cabling. For more information on how to make the connections can be found under “Connecting” in Chapter 3 of this manual.

Quick start guide

This chapter guides you through the process for a basic setup where a WP220 should be connected to a loudspeaker system with wired network. Install your wall panel on the desired location by means of the optional available WB45S/FS (for solid walls) or WB45S/FG (for hollow walls) installation boxes. Provide a twisted pair cable (CAT5E or better) from the receiving device to the wall panel. Connect the 8-pin terminal block to a receiving device with a twisted pair cable. After all those connections are made, just plug-in the connectors of the twisted pair cable, plug in the mains power on the loudspeaker side and your system is ready for operation. You can connect your audio sources to the wall-panel with Bluetooth, and your sounds should be audible through the system.
