Forte A-BUS AB-BT20 Instruction Manual

Installation Guide / Warranty Information
Product Installation Overview
Bluetooth LIM
AB-BT20
The A-BUS Bluetooth LIM provides a local wireless input connection
for the purpose of streaming audio from sources such as smart
phones, tablets and computers, etc. with Bluetooth capability,
to individual A-BUS equipped rooms. When the Bluetooth LIM is
paired, it will automatically switch the music source from the main
system source to the local Bluetooth source. This local connection
will remain until pairing is disconnected or the Bluetooth device is
out of range. If pairing remains selected on the Bluetooth device,
when it comes back into range, the connection will automatically
be reengaged.
Operation
To pair to the AB-BT20, consult instructions on pairing supplied with
your Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth LIM identication code will have
the prex AB in front of the individual code number. When pairing
occurs, a blue LED will light on the front plate. For systems with
multiple Bluetooth LIM’s, it is recommended the codes be changed
to easily, identify each room before completing installation. (See
below.)
Bluetooth as a Main Source
The Bluetooth LIM can be used as an input device in small instal-
lations, such as hotel rooms, where transmission range is not a
problem. The Bluetooth LIM is connected from its output socket to
any A-BUS hub with an A-BUS/Ready input or Expansion Input. It can
also be inserted in a main source CAT5 cable between input module
and hub, overriding the main source when paired.

Installing Your Bluetooth LIM
The Bluetooth LIM is connected to the Cat5 cable line between the
hub and the rooms A-BUS Keypad or A-BUS/diRect speaker using
RJ-45 connectors (TIA568A). It also can be wired in series with other
LIM’s along the Cat5 cable. The LIM closest to the rooms A-BUS
amplied module, will be the master.

Establish an appropriate listening level with the main source before
pairing.
• If no sound is heard, do not adjust output level, as damage may
occur to your speakers.
• Check the music source is active before pairing.
• The blue LED indicates when devices are paired.
• Check source device is connected to WiFi.
• Change music source or app.
• Make sure device is in play mode.

Pairing each AB-BT20 requires the identication of an individual code
number beginning with the prex AB (ABxxx). This code number can
be replaced with individual room name identication such as Bedroom
1, Study, Patio, etc. prior to installation.
To download the renaming software visit www.a-bus.com/bt. Once
downloaded and installed, connect the AB-BT20 via the mini USB
socket located at the side of the unit to your PC and start the program,
follow the on screen prompts to rename the device.
Room Identification
Bluetooth Source Volume Level Compatibility
The audio output level from Bluetooth enabled devices, can vary from
brand to brand. The Bluetooth LIM has been adjusted to be equal to
the output of most Bluetooth devices, in some cases the level may be
higher. Most devices have their own adjustable volume level and it is
recommended that this is used to adjusted the output level to match
the main audio source’s volume level.
Operating Range
Bluetooth devices are intended to provide wireless communication
between enabled devices within a room. The AB-BT20 has been
designed to provide reliable operating range in difcult situations. In
good situations, its range can be up to 15 meters (50’); however, this
distance can be reduced signicantly by a number of local factors
such as transmission interference from other communication devices,
electrical wiring and room construction materials, such as brick walls
and concrete oors, etc. When the Bluetooth LIM is operating near
maximum range, the signal may intermittently drop in and out, as
signal strength varies.
