RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK- DO NOT OPEN THE UNIT.
THERE ARE NO SERVICABLE COMPONENTS INSIDE.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain
or moisture and do not expose to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus

General operation:
The Smart Router ensures quality data transmission, paging and music integrity across long cable runs
(3000 feet or more). Each router terminates and rebroadcasts paging, audio, and control network
(LON) signals back to full strength allowing the system wiring network to work at best practices standards.
The Smart Router will automatically bypass the music and page audio if the Smart Switch closes due to a
broken data cable.
The Smart Router works with Lencore's iNet Head-End equipment.
Features and Capabilities:
•Amplifies paging and music signals.
•Repeats the LON signal.
•Properly terminates the Data signals.
•Allows adjustment to the amount of amplification to compensate for cable loss for various lengths
of cable.
•Automatic bypass for music and paging if Smart Switch closes due to a broken data cable.

1.Power LED
The power LED indicates that the unit is
powered.
2.Fault LEDs
The Fault LED indicates a fault within
the unit being a processor or general
fault.
3.Data LEDs
The Data LEDs indicate whether the
audio on the Data cable is in amplified
or bypass mode.
4.LON LEDs
The LON LEDs indicate LON activity.
5.Activity LON 1 LED
This LED indicates LON activity.
6.Gain Switch
The Gain adjustment is to be set based
on the length of the Data cable.
(see Table 1)
7.Reset button
The Reset button is used to make a
hardware reset for servicing purposes.

1. DATA IN/OUT
Connect the Data out port to the next
OP. The Data in port receives the data
cable from the previous OP.
2.GND
The ground connector is used to
connect a ground wire from the previous
OP and to the next OP.
3.Power IN (24VDC)
This connector is used to connect an
external 24VDC UPS.
4.AC INPUT
Power cord connector (IEC 60320) 100-
240VAC.

Wiring
Power and Network connections:
1. Plug the unit into a standard 115 or 208 VAC power outlet.
2. Connect the data cable from a previous OP DATA OUT to the Smart Router’s DATA IN port.
Connect a cable from the router’s DATA OUT port to the next OP DATA IN connector.
3.Connect a ground wire from the previous OP power “-“ to the Smart Router’s GND terminal and
another ground wire from the Smart Router’s GND terminal to the next OP.
4.Figure 3 depicts a typical flow diagram showing the wiring of the Smart Router to other Lencore
equipment.
Gain Setting
Set the Gain switch using the chart below:
Switch Position Cable length in feet
0 1500 – 2000
1 2001 – 2500
2 2501 - 3000

UPS Connection:
The UPS output would connect to the terminal block: +24VDC to pin “+” and 24V COM to either pin “-“.
The UPS must be 24VDC regulated until the power supply batteries are exhausted.
Normal and alarm standby load is 75mA.

Testing Procedure
Equipment should only be tested by qualified trained personnel. These instructions are meant as a guide
to what testing should take place; it is not an instruction on how to complete the testing.
Refer to the Operations, Sound Manager, and Configurator manuals for detailed information.
Testing should be performed monthly or more frequently if necessary.
1. Test that the unit is amplifying the audio from input to output based on the Gain setting.
2. Test that the unit is re-transmitting the LON signal.
3.Smart Switch detect test – break the return Data cable to the head-end and verify all routers go
into bypass mode.
8

Maintenance Procedure
Equipment should only be inspected and maintained by qualified trained personnel. These instructions
are meant as a guide to what actions should take place; it is not an instruction on how to complete the
