DESCRIPTION
The Bluetooth Remote Input Module (BRIM) is a remote audio input (Bluetooth or wired) and infrared output module designed to be installed in rooms that will have music sources.
Bluetooth devices can connect and act as a music server or a wired audio source can be connected directly to the BRIM, which allows that music to be shared with any audio zone
in the house. Each BRIM ships with an IR flasher that is used for sending IR data to source equipment. When you point your source equipment remote control at the IR receiver
in a VSC and send a signal, the IR data is routed to the appropriate BRIM (to which the source is logically connected), which then sends the IR signal through the IR flasher to the
source equipment.
INSTALLATION
Remote Input Modules connect directly to the Hi-Fi2 Main Assembly using Cat 5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP) for communications. Each end of the wire is terminated with an
RJ45 connector. The correct wiring scheme for the Cat 5 cable is standard EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the Cat 5 cable is crucial for the operation of the system.
It is best that no single run of Cat 5 exceeds 500 feet.
Insert the RJ45 connector on one end of the cable to the respective source input jack (1-8) under “Remote Audio In / IR Out” on the Hi-Fi2 Main Assembly. Insert the RJ45
connector on the other end of the cable to the jack labeled “Remote Audio” on the BRIM.
SETTING THE FREQUENCY OF THE IR OUTPUT
When using the BRIM to send IR data to source equipment, there are two different IR carrier frequencies in which the BRIM can transmit the IR signal. The default setting of 38 kHz
is used for most audio sources. However, most cable and satellite converter boxes operate at a higher IR carrier frequency closer to 56 kHz. Each BRIM has a switch that allows
you to change the frequency of the IR output when using such devices.
To change the frequency setting, remove the faceplate and insert from the BRIM using a small-blade screwdriver and gently depress each latch on one side while lifting up on the
insert. Once the latches are released on one side, remove the insert from the other side.
Once the insert has been removed, move the frequency switch (SW1) from the “38kHz” position to the “56kHz” position.
Reinstall the insert by aligning the latches of the insert to the openings on the BRIM and gently snapping it into place. Then, attach the faceplate.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• Read and understand all instructions. Follow all warnings and instructions marked
on the product.
• Do not use this product near water - e.g., near a tub, wash basin, kitchen sink or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
• Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may
touch dangerous voltages.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• Never install communications wiring or components during a lightning storm.
• Never install communications components in wet locations unless the components
are designed specifically for use in wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated wires or terminals unless the wiring has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying communications wiring or components.
