Custom installation (C.I.) use
The 550T features a Control Bus input/output that allow un-modulated
remote control commands (positive logic, TTL level) to be received
electrically by the unit and looped to another unit if desired. These control
commands are typically generated by custom installation (multi-room)
systems or remote IR receiver systems. The Control Bus sockets are
colour-coded orange.
An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated IR remote
control commands to be received electrically by the unit. Commands on
this input operate the unit only and are not looped out demodulated on
the Control Bus Output.
In addition the unit features direct IR/Control codes as well as toggle
codes for many of its features to simplify programming custom installation
systems. Special direct commands can be accessed on the supplied
remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as follows:
