When wiring the AAE Adagio Audio Expander, APAD controller, or C2N-DBF12
keypad to the AADS, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.

CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system
(

).

• For larger networks, Use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain

signal quality

Hardware Hookup

Ventilation

The AADS should be used in a well-ventilated area The venting holes should not be
obstructed under any circumstances. If the AADS is hot to the touch, consider using
forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units.

To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consideration
must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient.
Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides of the unit.

Out-of-the-box Connections

WARNING: To prevent injury and / or equipment damage due to electric shock,
disconnect power from the AADS prior to making any wiring connections.

When using the out-of-the-box functionality, the AADS can support up to one AAE,
one CEN-IDOC, one AAS-1/-2/-4, and any combination of six APAD or
C2N-DBF12 control devices (plus an additional six on the AAE if connected).
Observe the following when connecting hardware to the AADS.

• CEN-IDOC (Optional): The audio output of the CEN-IDOC must be

connected to source input port 4 on the AADS when using the out-of-the-
box configuration. The CEN-IDOC and AADS must be connected to the
same DHCP router.

• AAS Devices (Optional): Source input ports 1 through 3 are reserved for

the different variations of the AAS. The AAS and AADS must be
connected to the same DHCP router.

⇒ AAS-1: The audio output of the AAS-1 must be connected to source
