INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING DOCUMENTATION
Why Document?
There are three important reasons why you should keep thorough documentation of the installation and the
programming procedure:
• It enables you to program the system properly. When using multiple preamplifiers or programming
sequences, knowing where individual IR commands are programmed is critical. Precise documentation
minimizes delays due to poor planning, and avoids duplication of effort.
• It creates a detailed record that will be invaluable for future upgrades and troubleshooting.
• It enables Niles Technical Support to assist you more efficiently.
Documentation Overview
This section covers the various fill-in schematics and worksheets available to document quickly the basic archi-
tectural and programming information regarding the system you are installing. For specific information on actual
connections and how to configure the system, see System Configurations.
The system documentation was designed to minimize your time investment, while still providing all the neces-
sary information that will be required to design, install, and troubleshoot an A4.6Ci preamplifier. As you com-
plete the various forms, you will find that the information is simply the normal questions you are required to ask
when designing a typical distributed audio system.
The documentation sheets provided with this manual are divided into two categories: schematics and worksheets.
• Schematics keep a record of your system's architecture (Figures 43 and 44).
