INSTALLATION SETTINGS
ALL ON Volume Level
When a system-wide ON command is issued, zones that are turned OFF turn ON to the ALL ON volume level
set by the factory in the A4.6Ci. (Volume levels in zones that are already turned ON do not change during a
system wide ON command.) The factory level for ALL ON is a relatively low volume level. It can be adjusted
individually for each zone using the acoustic setting mode detailed in this section of the manual.
The All on volume level is also adjustable individually for each of the six zones using A4.6Ci Windows con-
figuration software.
Page Volume Level
When a Page occurs, all zones produce the page at the page volume level set by the factory in the A4.6Ci. The
factory default value for paging is a medium volume level.
The page volume Level is adjustable individually for each of the six zones using A4.6Ci Windows configura-
tion software.
INSTALLER SETTING MODE
The installer setting mode is provided for initial set-up. You enter this mode when you press and hold the ZONE
SELECT button.
Once in the installer setting mode, you can perform three functions:
• Manual operation of individual zones.
• Preamplifier output mode setting.
• Acoustic adjustments.
MANUAL OPERATION OF INDIVIDUAL ZONES
The A4.6Ci can be operated manually from the front panel to test the preamplifier if a zone suddenly stops
playing, or if it doesn't activate after the system is installed. Because they are not meant for the end user, all the
buttons used for manual operation of the A4.6Ci are hidden behind a removable cover.
Generally, four variables will cause system activation problems: the keypads, the IR sensor, the four-pair twist-
ed wire, or the A4.6Ci itself. If you use the hidden controls to operate the A4.6Ci, you can select a zone and a
source, and operate volume up/down. If you now have music in that zone, you've just narrowed the problem
to the wire, the keypad, or the IR sensor.
While in the installer setting mode, installers can control the A4.6Ci to turn zones ON or OFF, to select input,
and to control individual UP or DOWN volume in each zone. The keypads are disabled for normal operation
while in this mode, so no IR can be triggered from the rooms. IR sensors are disabled as well.
