Hardware installation & connection
BTQ-VM/SG/SL mounting
Mount the BTQ-VM4/8 controller in any standard
19-inch 2U audio equipment rack using the supplied
mounting brackets and screws. Installing a BTQ-SL8/
SG8 secondary unit is similar to installing a BTQ-
VM4/VM8, except the secondary units are installed in
19-inch 1U rack-mounting.
Consider leaving enough ventilation space above and
below the unit. Do not mount the controller directly
above the heat generating devices like power supplies
or power amplifiers.
BTQ-VM/SG/SL power supply
The BTQ-VM controller has two types of power supply input, AC mains and 48VDC for battery
backup via phoenix euro-block connector, and secondary unit by 24VDC.
Connection-mains power
Connection-battery backup
To activate the power supply of BTQ-VMW wallmount controller, connect the AC mains power
first, then 48VDC battery backup input. If the order is not correct, the BTQ-VMW can not be
operated.
Ethernet (RJ45)
Connect the BTQ-VM4/8 controller and BTQ-
SG8 unit to a computer by using CAT5/6
cable.
ATEIS network (digilink and global-net)
DIGI-LINK
The BTQ-VM4/8 controller has 1 digi-link port for BTQ-SL8 secondary unit. Use STP CAT5/6 cable
with shielded RJ45 connector to connect a BTQ-SL8 secondary unit to BTQ-VM4/8 controller. Up to
31 BTQ-SL8 units can be connected under the local digi-link network.

To identify the connection among the secondary units, each secondary unit has an unique ID.
And the ID must be set orderly based on the Digi-link connection. For example, if the ID of BTQ-
VM8 controller is 1:1, then the ID of the first connected BTQ-SL8 unit on BTQ-VM8 will be 1:2,
and 1:3 for the second BTQ-SL8 unit. See Device ID to know the ID configuration.
GLOBAL-NET
Connect the BTQ-VM4/8 controller and SG8 secondary unit together through A, B port via global-net.
Device ID
The BTQ-SL8, BTQ-SG8 secondary units and DPM-MAIN paging consoles are identified by device
ID, which is configured by a DIP switch.
BTQ-SL8
BTQ-SG8
DPM-MAIN
The DIP switch of device ID is followed by the binary code
with 5 digit (BTQ-SL8), 6 digit (BTQ-SG8), 4 digit (DPM-
MAIN).
The Device ID cannot be repeated. The range of ID can be
set as the table on the right.
DIP switch
BTQ-SL8
1~31
BTQ-SG8
0~63
DPM-MAIN
0~15
Please set the ID of BTQ-SL8, BTQ-SG8 and DPM-MAIN orderly, starting by the first number.
How-to:
1. Set the device ID for BTQ-SL8/SG8 and DPM-MAIN. See
the example of BTQ-SL8 on Figure 1, the order (4~0) of
the device ID is set as 00101 by the binary code. And the
ID will be converted by the decimal code as 5, that is to
say this device will be identified with the ID number of 5.
Figure 1
2. After the ID setting and the rest of the device hardware wiring are completed, go to Web Browser
> Device Management > System Size to build a BOUTIQUE system by adding the number of

controller/secondary units in the same group based on the hardware wiring.
3. Then go to Device Management to check if all the BOUTIQUE units are ''online''.
External power amplifier
The BTQ-VM4/8 controllers have an internal 250W or 500W amplifier built-in. For system power
sharing and/or backup, connect a second power amplifier (DPA or BPA) externally.
The BTQ-SL8 secondary unit can share power amplifier from BTQ-VM4/8 controller, secondary units
or connect to an external power amplifier.
Both of the controller and secondary unit are capable to handle the power up to 1000W per speaker
zone, 2000W per unit.

Battery charger (power sharing)
For DC battery backup power sharing, connect the battery charger to BTQ-VM4/8 controller and
external power amplifier as the picture below.
The example below is using the BCU-4830A/BCU-4875A battery charger and BPA or DPA power
amplifier from ATEÏS.

6Hardware installation & connection
DPM-MAIN / DPM-EVA/ DPM-KPD DPM-KPD / DPM-EVA/ DPM-MAIN
The BTQ-VM4/8 controller and BTQ-SG8 secondary unit has 2 remote connections with RJ45
connectors, and the BTQ-SL8 secondary unit has 1. Each port can address up to 8 DPM-MAIN
consoles. The maximum communication cable length is 250M (820 ft.) between the controller/
secondary unit and DPM console, DPM and DPM via STP CAT5/6 cable with shielded RJ45
connector, subjects to the power supply is sufficient. Multiple DPM consoles can be wired in a
daisy-chain or redundant loop using 2 ports.
Each DPM-MAIN can attach one DPM-EVA, and up to 15 DPM-KPD can link to one DPM-MAIN by
flat cable as shown above. If the control signal of DPM units is not strong enough, the DPM needs to
connect to DLR01 digital loop repeater for expanding the distance to 250M longer. And if the power
of DPM units is not enough, connect a 24VDC local power on DLR01 Digital Loop Repeater, see the
picture below.
Daisy-chain
Redundant loop
1. Connect the [Remote Port 1] on BTQ-VM4/VM8/SG8 to the [Remote Port B] on the first set of
DPM-MAIN.
2. Connect the [Remote Port A] on the last set of DPM-MAIN to the [Remote Port 2] on BTQ-
VM4/VM8/SG8 via redundant loop.
Once completed the hardware connection, run the [New Setup] Setup Wizard with 6 steps from front
LCD panel.
