Installation
This device has been designed to be installed horizontally in a conventional 19” rack cabinet.
Front attachment of the device
Refer to the following illustration to attach the front of the device, using four screws and
washers. Because of painted surfaces the connection of the grounding screw at the rear panel
of the device is recommended.
Figure 5.1: Installation of the device into a 19" rack
!
Caution!
The use of rack mount rails is recommended when installing the device in a rack shelf or rack
cabinet to prevent the front panel from twisting or warping. If devices should be stacked in
the rack (e.g. using the self-adhesive foot stands supplied) the maximum permissible load of
the mount rails must be considered. Please refer to the technical specifications provided by
the rack rail manufacturer.
Figure 5.2: Stacking of devices using the supplied foot stands (example with 3 devices, rack mount rails are
used for the bottom device only)
The device must be protected from:
• Dripping water or spray
• Direct sunlight
• High ambient temperatures or immediate sources of heat
• High humidity
• Large dust deposits

• Strong vibrations
If these requirements cannot be guaranteed, the device must be regularly serviced to prevent
any outages that could occur as a result of negative ambient conditions. If a solid object or
fluid enters the housing, immediately disconnect the device from the voltage supply, and have
it serviced by an authorized technician before it is recommissioned.
!
Warning!
The maximum ambient temperature of +45 °C should not be exceeded.
Standby mode
In standby mode, the power consumption of the device significantly reduces. In standby
mode, the following functions are still available:
• Remote control via the CAN bus
• Monitoring of the DC input
• Function of the Control Port
Standby operation is activated via the CAN bus and indicated by the Standby indicator light.

Connection
Audio input
The AMP IN audio inputs allow to connect the 100 V (or 70 V) output signals of up to eight
power amplifier channels to the integrated 2-in-6 router blocks A, B, C or D. Additionally there
are four input channels for spare amplifiers.
The delivery includes 6-pin connectors. Conductor cross-sections of 0.14 mm² (AWG26) to
1.5 mm² (AWG16) can be used.
Recommended connecting cable: flexible CU strand, LiY, 0.75 mm².
Routing
Following illustration gives an overview of possible routings between the AMP IN audio inputs
and the SPEAKER OUT audio outputs using the internal relays of the device. The PMX-4R24
includes four 2-in-6 routing blocks A, B, C or D. Each routing block provides 2 regular inputs, 1
spare amplifier input and 6 outputs.
Spare amplifier input S1 of AMP IN A (C) is for replacing the amplifiers connected to inputs 1
of routing blocks A (C) and B (D).
Spare amplifier input S2 of AMP IN B (D) is for replacing the amplifiers connected to inputs 2
of routing blocks A (C) and B (D).

The audio outputs on the device allow to connect 100 V (or 70 V) loudspeaker zones. The
delivery includes 12-pin connectors. Conductor cross-sections of 0.14 mm² (AWG26) to
1.5 mm² (AWG16) can be used.
Recommended connecting cable: flexible CU strand, LiY, 0.75 mm².
For ease of installation, the connector can be removed. Several loudspeakers can be
connected until the point at which the total power consumption of the loudspeaker network
corresponds to the nominal power value of the amplifier channel, where the rated load
resistance of the power amplifier outputs is not to be exceeded. The nominal power values
and the rated load resistances of the outputs can be found in the documentation of the power
amplifier.
Notice!
Conductor cross-section
The maximum voltage drop must be less than 10% to avoid alarm signal attenuation and
ensure a sufficient signal level of the pilot tone for (optional) EOL modules.
Danger!
It is possible that during operation shock hazard voltages (> 140 V peak value) may be present
at the outputs. Therefore, the connected loudspeaker zones have to be installed in accordance
with applicable safety regulations. When installing and operating 100 V loudspeaker networks,
compliance with the VDE regulation DIN VDE 0800 is mandatory. Especially, when 100 V
loudspeaker networks in alarm system applications are concerned, all safety precautions have
to be in accordance with the safety class 3 standard.
Supply voltage
Connect a 24-volt DC source to the DC power input. The delivery includes a 2-pin connector.
Conductor cross-sections of 0.2 mm² (AWG24) to 6 mm² (AWG10) can be used.
Recommended connecting cable: flexible CU strand, LiY, 4 mm².
The DC input is protected against incorrect polarity and overload. The associated fuse is
located on the inside of the device and is not accessible from outside of the device.

Warning!
Never connect the positive terminal + with ground.

CAN BUS
This section contains information about the connection of the device to the CAN BUS and the
correct setting of the CAN address.
Connection
The device has two RJ-45 jacks for the CAN BUS. The jacks are connected in parallel, and act
as an input and for daisy chaining the network. The CAN bus allows different data rates to be
used, where the data rate is indirectly proportional to the bus length. If the network is small,
data rates of up to 500 kbit/s are possible. In larger networks, the data rate must be
decreased (down to the minimum data rate of 10 kbit/s), please refer to section Configuring
the CAN baud rate.
Notice!
The data rate is preset to 10 kbit/s in the factory.
The following table explains the relationship between data rates and bus lengths/network
size. Bus lengths of over 1,000 m must be implemented only with CAN repeaters.

Cable specification
In accordance with the ISO 11898-2 standard, shielded twisted-pair cables with an impedance
of 120 ohms must be used as the data transfer cable for the CAN bus. A terminating resistance
of 120 ohms must be provided at both ends as the cable terminator. The maximum bus length
depends on the data transmission rate, the type of data transmission cable, and the number
of bus participants.

Table 6.3: Relationships for CAN networks with up to 64 participants
If there are long cables and several devices on the CAN bus, terminating resistors with ohm
ratings higher than the specified 120 ohms are recommended in order to reduce the resistive
load for the interface drivers, which in turn reduces the voltage loss from one cable end to
another.
The following table allows initial estimates for the required cable cross-section for different
bus lengths and various numbers of bus participants.

Table 6.4: CAN BUS cable cross-section
If a participant cannot be directly connected to the CAN bus, a stub line (branch line) must be
used. Since there must always be precisely two terminating resistors on a CAN bus, a stub line
cannot be terminated. This creates reflections, which impair the rest of the bus system. To
minimize these reflections, these stub lines must not exceed a maximum individual length of
2 m at data transmission rates of up to 125 kbit/s, or a maximum length of 0.3 m at higher bit
rates. The overall length of all branch lines must not exceed 30 m.
The following applies:
• In terms of rack wiring, standard RJ-45 patch cables with 100-ohm impedance (AWG 24/
AWG 26) can be used for short distances (up to 10 m).
• The guidelines specified above for the network cabling must be used when wiring the
racks with each other and for the building installation.
Control input
There are two control input ports (input 1–5 or 6–10) on the rear of the device.
The CONTROL IN port is split into two halves:
• The upper half has five freely configurable supervised, not isolated control inputs.
• The lower half has five freely configurable isolated control inputs.
The delivery includes 10-pole connectors. Conductor cross-sections of 0.14 mm² (AWG26) to
1.5 mm² (AWG16) can be used. Recommended connecting cable: Flexible CU strand, LiY, 0.25
mm². The control port is configured in IRIS-Net.
!
Caution!
The maximum permissible voltage on a control input is 32 V.
