LEGACY AUDIO

INTEGRATION MODULE

IM-AUDIO

The IM-AUDIO is an audio interface module that slides into

the card cage on an IntelliControl® ICS Modular MultiZone

Receiver. It provides the connection and control of a legacy

audio source component such as a CD/DVD player, VCR, cable

box or satellite receiver. Source components are controlled

with an IR Flasher output. 12-Volt and video sensing keep

source components in sync with the system when separate IR

ON/OFF codes are not available. The card has memory to

store 20 “Favorites” for tuners, satellite and cable systems.

Cascade audio and IR pass-through allow expansion to

additional IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receivers in

expanded systems.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Voltage Sync Input

Connects to the 12V

DC system component

or sensing device such

as a Niles CS-12V, LS-1

or any external 3-30V

DC control voltage

to determine when

the component is ON

or OFF

IR IN

Connects to the IR OUT

on an IM-AUDIO in the

previous Slave Chassis

in an expanded system

(3.5mm mini jack,

Polarity: Tip=+12V;

Sleeve=GND)

Audio IN

Connects to the Left

and Right audio

outputs on the source

component connected

to the IM-AUDIO

Video Sync Input

Connects to the

composite video

out of the source

component connected

to the IM-AUDIO.

Input senses the

presence of NTSC

video sync to

determine when the

component is ON

or OFF

Cascade Audio OUT

Left and right

line-level audio

outputs for use in

multiple chassis ICS

systems and home

theater receivers

IR Out

Connects to an IR

ﬂasher to send IR

control codes to the

source component

connected to the

IM-AUDIO Module

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Plug and Play Integration

The IM-AUDIO module automatically identiﬁes itself to the

IntelliFile® 3 Conﬁguration Software during system conﬁguration

and maps all appropriate control functions to all user interfaces.

Audio Input

Line-level audio input takes the audio output of a legacy

source and distributes it through the IntelliControl ICS Modular

MultiZone Receiver, then audio is distributed through the zone-

matrix when selected by a single or a group of zones.

Cascade Audio

Left and right line-level audio outputs for use in multiple chassis

IntelliControl ICS systems and home theater receivers.

IR In

Accepts IR commands from corresponding IM-AUDIO Modules

in slave chassis when multiple chassis are used in expanded

systems.

3-30 Volt Sync

Detects the ON/OFF state of the connected source for system

power management when used with a Niles CS-12V Current

Sensor for other device.

Video Sync

Detects the ON/OFF state of the connected source for system

power management of source components using composite video

output.

Guides

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Always turn the power OFF on the IntelliControl

ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver and be sure the AC line cord

is disconnected to avoid damage and electrical shock before

making any connections to the IM-AUDIO Module.

CAUTION: The IM-AUDIO Module is susceptible to static dis-

charge. Be sure to use a grounding strap or touch an earth ground

prior to picking up the IM-AUDIO. Handle the card by its edges.

1. Carefully slide the IM-AUDIO Module into the appropriate

card slot. (Refer to the GXR2 Installation Worksheet to as-

sure proper card slot number.)

2. Concentrate on the GXR2 card cage guides as you insert the

module card.

3. Be sure the multi-pin connector is secure to the header in the

card cage.

4. Tighten thumbscrews. (Do not over tighten.)

INSTALLATION (CONT’D)

Connecting an Component to

the IM-AUDIO Module

Audio

When all IM-Audio modules are installed in the IntelliControI

ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver, connect the Left & Right line

level audio OUT of the component’s source to the Left & Right

audio IN on the appropriate IM-AUDIO card.

IR

Attach a Niles IR Flasher (Niles model MF1, MF1-VF)

directly over the IR eye on the component. (Shine a flashlight

onto the front panel of the component to find the IR eye if it is

not obvious.)

Carefully run the flasher wire back to the IntelliControI ICS

Modular MultiZone Receiver and plug it into the IR OUT jack on

the appropriate IM-AUDIO card.

Sync:

NOTE: If discrete IR ON/OFF codes are available for the spe-

cific source component, 12V or Video Sync sensing is not re-

quired. If “Toggle Power” is the only IR code available, use one

of the Sync methods below to manage turning On and Off the

component.

INSTALLATION (CONT’D)

Connecting a Video Component

and Current Sensor

Video Sync

If the source component has a composite video output, connect

the composite video OUT of the source component to Video

Sync IN.

3-30 Volt Sync

If the source component has no Video output, connect the con-

trol voltage from a current sensing device like the Niles CS-12V

to Voltage Sync IN. Polarity: TIP=+12VDC; SLEEVE=GND.

Using the Niles CS-12V Current Sensor:

The CS-12V will sense the difference in current draw between

stand-by and on for the source it is sensing. The CS-12V will

send 12V to the sync input to let the IntelliControl ICS Modular

MultiZone Receiver know that the source is on. The IntelliCon-

trol ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver will appropriately manage

power commands for the source component by knowing when

it is on or off.

1. Plug the power cord of the source component into the AC

jack on the CS-12V.

2. Plug the power cord for the CS-12V into an un-switched AC

outlet.

3. Connect the 12V output of the CS-12V in to the 3-30V Sync

IN on the IM-AUDIO.
