4. Wiring and Connections

The Savant IP Audio control connections send data to control a device and receive data to display current status on the user interfaces or trigger a system

action. Each port type may support multiple protocols that are determined by the logical connection within Blueprint.

4.1 RS-232 Wiring – PAV-SIPA50SM, PAV-SIPA125SM, PAV-AIM7C

The PAV-SIPA50SM, PAV-SIPA125SM, and PAV-AIM7C all use the same RS-232 wiring. Refer to the diagram and information below for pinout and wiring

instructions.

RS-232 Pinout

RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Control Adapters

Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for more information on

RJ-45 to DB9 adapters.

IMPORTANT!

If using RJ-45 to DB9 adapters not supplied by Savant:

• Ensure that any wires required for communication/control are terminated within the adapter.

• Ensure that all wires NOT required for communication/control are NOT terminated in the connector.

• Ensure that the unused wires in the connector are cut to prevent them from shorting out, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45 connector on the

controller side.

HELPFUL INFORMATION:

• Savant recommends planning control connections and protocols to be used prior to building any cables and connecting equipment. This will ensure

that devices will respond to commands and will not be damaged by an incorrect cable conﬁguration.

• When installing wire in screw down terminals, strip a 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire and twist the strands together. This will allow for the

exposed wire to be inserted into the terminal up to the insulation eliminating stray strands that may cause shorting.

NOTES:

• CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for ﬂow control based on the proﬁle used in the conﬁguration.

• IP Audio devices do not support RS-422/485

IR Pinout

NOTE:

While not shown in the diagram, IR

connections 4 to 6 follow the same

wiring as 1 to 3.

NOTES:

• CTS/RTS handshaking for ﬂow control is not supported with the PAV-SIPA1SM.

• RS-422/485 is not supported with the PAV-SIPA1SM.

IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions

• Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of the controller’s location.

• Use of 3rd party ﬂashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away from the IR signal, which

may degrade IR control performance.

4.4 Speaker Wiring

The PAV-SIPA1SM, PAV-SIPA50SM, and PAV-SIPA125SM use the same Speaker wiring. Speaker wiring is made using 4-pin Speaker Connectors supplied

with the IP Audio devices. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a screw located at the top of the connector. Speaker connectors accept up to

12AWG speaker cable.

4.5 GPIO Connections

The PAV-SIPA125SM, PAV-AOM8C, and PAV-AOMBAL8C have GPIO ports which share the same wiring. General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports are

binary I/O ports used by Savant controllers to trigger actions within the system. GPIO actions may be conﬁgured to control a device, such as turning

on an ampliﬁer (output), or detecting a device state change (input) to perform a triggered workﬂow. Pin 2 is used for input or output depending on

conﬁguration.

GPIO Pull Down Resistor (PD) Usage

GPIO pins are conﬁgured as inputs and are pulled high to 12V while the host is booting up. To make the

GPIO signal low during a host reboot and/or a power cycle, attach the GPIO 1 pin to the PD pin. The PD

pin is a 1K ohm pull down resistor (to signal ground) which keeps the GPIO output below 0.8V during

processor boot times.

NOTES:

• Wire order shown does not represent any wiring standard. It may be dierent than other models.

• While not shown in the diagram above, Zones 2 to 4 follow the same wiring as Zone 1.

HELPFUL INFORMATION:

GPIO functionality for Savant Controllers is deﬁned by the associated Proﬁle used within RacePoint Blueprint. All further programming (State Trigger

conﬁguration for example) must also be done within Blueprint. For further information on programming of GPIO and relay ports, refer to the Relay

and General Purpose Input/Output Proﬁles - Application Note, available on the Savant Customer Community.

4.6 Relay Connections

The PAV-SIPA125SM features a relay port, used to control components via a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) relay.

4.7 Network Connection

Savant IP Audio devices use a standard RJ-45 port complying with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. This port also supports Audio Video Bridging (AVB)

or Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) over Ethernet (AVB/TSN, IEEE 802.1).

4.8 AC Power Connection

Read and follow all warnings and instructions related to the AC power connection below.

SURGE PROTECTION!

Use a surge-protected circuit for all components and power supplies requiring 100/240V (AC 50/60 Hz) source power.

ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT!

The source power outlet and power supply input power sockets should be easily accessible to disconnect power in the event of an electrical hazard or

malfunction.

Power Management Recommendations

Savant recommends a pure sine wave uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the ability to shut down the Savant Host before the battery runs out of

power. Never remove power from the Savant devices before shutting them down. See Appendix E for more information.

HELPFUL INFORMATION:

Relay functionality for Savant Controllers is deﬁned by physical wiring (which should follow

speciﬁcations for the controlled component), as well as the associated Proﬁle used within RacePoint

Blueprint. For further information on programming GPIO and/or relay ports, refer to the Relay

and General Purpose Input/Output Proﬁles - Application Note, available on the Savant Customer

Community.

4.9 Checking and Replacing the Fuse

Carefully follow the instructions outlined below to remove, check, and replace the IP Audio device fuses (see subsection 4.10 below for PAV-SIPA1SM).

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:

Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord from the AC outlet and the unit before replacing the fuse.

IMPORTANT:

The orientation of the cartridge within the unit and location of the fuse within the cartridge are crucial to proper operation. Make note of the

orientation of the cartridge and the fuse location within the cartridge before removing.

1. Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord.

2. Open the fuse cover on the AC power input using a ﬂat head screwdriver or similar thin ﬂat head

tool. This will allow access to the fuse cartridge.

3. Using a ﬂat head screwdriver or similar thin ﬂat head tool, gently loosen the cartridge and pull

the cartridge out of the unit slowly. As the cartridge is removed, make note of the orientation,

as it is important to proper operation.

4. Remove the old fuse from the cartridge and discard.

5. Gently place the new fuse in the cartridge and place the cartridge part way into the receptacle

aligning it as deﬁned in the diagram.

6. Gently press on the cartridge the rest of the way until it seats into the terminals at the rear of

the slot.

4.10 Checking and Replacing the Fuse [PAV-SIPA1SM]

The PAV-SIPA1SM uses a dierent model/design of fuse from the other IP Audio devices outlined in this document. Carefully follow instructions below to

check or replace fuse.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:

Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord from the AC outlet and the unit before replacing the

fuse.

1. Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord.

2. Remove the fuse cartridge by pulling the tab marked in the image below.

3. Remove the old fuse from the cartridge and discard.

4. Gently clip the new fuse into the cartridge and slide the cartridge part way into the receptacle, ensuring that the
