Installation
Your RVS-8 is intended for indoor use only; it is not water resistant. If you install it in a remote
location, you must insure that it is protected from moisture and temperature extremes.
1. Connect the audio output from each of your receivers to the screw connections on the header
labeled "Audio In J5". Each audio input is relative to the ground connection on that header.
2. Connect the corresponding COR output from each receiver to the respective screw
connections on the header labeled "COR In J4". Be sure to correctly match the COR inputs to
the audio inputs on J5; that is, COR 1 matches audio 1, etc.
3. If you wish, you can remotely disable receivers via the inputs on the header labeled "Disable
In J3". To remotely disable a receiver, set the corresponding contact on J3 to either a high or
low voltage state, depending on how you set up that channel in the menu; see Setup. You can
disable as many receivers in this manner as you wish.
4. The header labeled "Select Out" provides an output indicating which of the eight receivers is
voted. One of the eight pins on this header will be at +12vdc indicating the voted receiver.
The other pins will be at zero volts. +12vdc at 10ma is also provided on this header. All
voltages are relative to the ground connection on this header. You might use this output to
drive an array of LEDs so you could see which receiver is voted from a distance. Use of these
outputs is optional; you may simply leave them disconnected if you wish.
5. The main voter outputs are on the header labeled "Output". Audio output and its dedicated
ground are the rightmost two connectors on this header. COR output is the leftmost three,
providing normally closed, normally open and common connections. The COR outputs are
"dry" contact closures; no voltages are output on these connectors.
6. DC power input is via the coaxial connector labeled "Power". Connect this to a source of 12
volts DC capable of providing at least 500 ma, using the provided 2.5 by 5.5 mm coaxial
plug. Best practice is a regulated DC power supply connected to the AC line through a high-
quality surge protector.
