matically detect audio into the loudspeaker and bring the
speaker to its installer congured preset position.
8 – Dip Switch – Dip Switches 1-4 control the delay TIME of
the Loudspeaker returning to the closed position, when Auto
Sense is enabled. See Table 1 for details. Dip Switches 5-8 de-
termine the loudspeakers assigned to each zone. See Table
2 for details.
9 – Activity LED’s – These LED’s allow a user to see which
speakers are active and they also indicate activity when the
unit is rst powered On.
10 – IR Receiver Lens – IR signals from the remote are received
through this lens.
Pre-Installation Considerations
There are some items to consider before installing the TIME
Controller.
1. To use Auto Sense or not
Auto sense is the ability of the TIME Controller to sense audio
being played to the loudspeaker and to activate all loud-
speakers in that zone to go to their default position. The in-
staller has the option to use this function or not depending on
the other control systems being used with the TIME Controller.
For most installations this function will be used.
When using the Auto Sense function, there is a turn on time
and a turn off time. The turn on time is the time it takes for the
loudspeakers to react to a music source being activated.
Once the Controller senses music in the speaker, the speaker
Congratulations on purchasing SpeakerCraft’s TIME Control-
ler. The TIME Controller allows custom conguration and con-
trol of your TIME Series Loudspeakers. With these electronics
you can access and use the full features of the TIME Series
Loudspeakers. This allows the user to control the tilt angle
and direction of the woofer and tweeter, allowing the entire
speaker to be aimed to create the ultimate listening environ-
ment possible from any ceiling speaker available.
The Controller also controls the zoning of the loudspeakers,
the timing of the speakers being lowered/retracted into the
room and communicates/interfaces with external electron-
ics like the SpeakerCraft SmartPath™ Infrared Repeating Sys-
tem and the MZC™ family of control systems.
Note: The TIME Series Loudspeakers and Controller are a very
sophisticated, customizable, and programmable electron-
ics. These attributes add to the value of this system. However,
due to this sophistication and exibility, SpeakerCraft highly
recommends the use of a qualied custom installation spe-
cialist when installing your TIME Loudspeakers and Electron-
ics. If you need assistance in locating an installer, please con-
tact SpeakerCraft at 1-800-448-0976.
ELECTRONICS PLACEMENT
Placing the TIME Controller depends on the overall system
architecture and the equipment that you will attach to it.
A general rule of thumb is to place the electronics near the
location of the amplier with which you will attach most of
the TIME Loudspeakers that the electronics will control. This
allows the installer to run speaker wire and Cat 5 cable from
the loudspeakers to the same location. However, many vari-
ations and options exist for installing this equipment. For in-
stance, if the area that the system will be used in is remote
to the listening area, you may need to attach a SmartPath™
IR repeating system or a remote IR Sensor. Please contact an
authorized SpeakerCraft dealer if you need assistance with
choosing the proper location for your TIME Controller and
peripherals that need to be attached to it.
If you are going to rack mount the electronics, attach the
rack mount ears to the chassis using the supplied rack mount
ears. Unscrew the two screws on each side of the chassis and
screw the ear to the chassis using these screws. Do this for
each ear on either side of the chassis.
Run all TIME Loudspeaker Power Cables from the loudspeak-
er locations to this location. If you are going to attach any
trigger inputs, RS232 cables, IR Receivers or External IR inputs
to the unit, run these cables to this location, also. See the ap-
pendix for wiring information on these connections.

TIME Controller rear panel
TIME Controller front panel
starts moving to its programmed default position. This occurs
in a xed amount of time and is not programmable.
However, to avoid retracting the loudspeakers in soft pas-
sages, especially in movies there is a programmable turnoff
time. The installer can choose the amount of time they would
like to have before the speakers turn off and retract into the
ceiling. The rst four positions of the dip switches on the rear
panel of the TIME Controller program this delay Time. Table 1
shows the delay times that can be programmed into the TIME
Controller using the dip switches on the rear of the unit. Please
choose the time you want to use and set the dip switches ac-
cordingly. The last setting should only be used to test the sys-
tem. This small amount of delay will make the speakers open
and close during soft passages in movies or music.
NOTE: When changing the dip switch settings, make sure you
cycle power to insure that the changes are incorporated in
to the unit’s standard operations
2. Assigning Speakers to each zone
For a TIME System a zone is a set of speakers which all play
at the same time and from the same source of music. There-
fore a Radio Tuner, CD, DVD, iPod Player and a Satellite Tuner
are all different sources. If you have a home theater room,
dining room, living room, Master Bedroom, Kid’s bed room,
Bathroom, Kitchen and Patio, these are all different rooms. A
room can only be part of one zone, but multiple rooms can
belong to one zone.
Let’s illustrate this with examples:
Assume we have a home with a home theater room, a kitch-
en and dining room. The home theater has 5 TIME Speakers
(speakers 1-5), The Kitchen has one TIME Speaker (speaker 8)
and the dining room has two TIME speakers (speakers 6 & 7).
You don’t want the DVD playing in the home theater to play
in the dining room. You don’t want the Radio in the kitchen
to play in the dining room, where you want the CD playing.
Therefore, Speakers 1-5 are in Zone 1, Speakers 6 & 7 are in
zone 2 and speaker 8 is in Zone 3. Call this example 1.
In a different home, you have TIME Speakers in the living
room (a stereo pair), in the Dining Room (a stereo pair), and
a great room (two sets of stereo pairs). You want all the same
music playing in the rooms at the same time, therefore when
one is on the other speakers are on too. This means you have
one zone of eight speakers. Call this example 2.
If you did not want the same music playing in all the areas
at the same time, then you would have three different zones
with 4 speakers in one zone and two in two other zones. Call
this example 3. If you did not want the same music playing
in all the areas at the same time, then you would have three
different zones with 4 speakers in one zone and two in two
other zones. Call this example 3.

In example 1, you would set the dip switches to 0001. In Ex-
ample 2 you would set the dip switches to 0000. In example
3 you would set the dip switches to 0110.
Depending on how the zones are setup, you set the dip
switches on the TIME Controller. To setup the TIME Controller
correctly, you only have to consider the TIME Speakers in the
system, not all speakers in the system. The possible zone set-
tings and the corresponding dip switch settings are shown in
Table 2.
By setting up the zones correctly and in turn positioning the
dip switches correctly. The auto sense function on the control
hub and the zone buttons on the remote control can func-
tion as the user would expect.
NOTE: When changing the dip switch settings, make sure you
cycle power to insure that the changes are incorporated in
to the unit’s standard operations.
3. Bringing the speakers into the room - many options
When setting up the TIME Controller for the TIME Speakers.
There are many options for tuning the speakers “On” (bring-
ing speakers to their optimal playing position). The opera-
tor could do this: manually with the Power ON/OFF button
on the remote; automatically using the built in Auto Sense
Function, as described in Step 1 and 2 of this section; using
a 3V-30V AC/DC trigger voltage; by RS232 Command; by IR
commands from an IR sensor input or electrical control sys-
tem. All of these options are available and need to be setup
during the installation of the system. Consult a Authorized
SpeakerCraft Installer to determine the correct method for
the system you are installing
Connecting the TIME Controller
Do not plug in the AC power supply to the unit until all Loud-
speakers are connected to the TIME Controller and any pe-
ripheral control systems are plugged into the TIME Controller.
NOTE: Serious & Permanent Damage can occur to the Con-
troller or the TIME Loudspeaker, if you plug and unplug Cat
5 connectors into the TIME Controller when power is applied
to it. Always remove power to the TIME Controller when con-
necting or disconnecting Cat 5 Connectors.
Attach all TIME Speaker Power Cables (Cat 5 cable with RJ45
connectors) to the Loudspeaker and to the TIME Controller.
Pay attention to the zoning of the loudspeakers as this will ef-
fect the overall operation and control of the system.
For basic system operation using a remote, the system is now
connected. However, if a remote IR Receiver is being at-
tached to the TIME Controller, please attach it to the IR Re-
ceiver port on the Controller, as shown in the appendix. If a
SmartPath™ IR repeating system is being connected, please
attach it as shown in the Appendix.
If you are attaching a MZC™ control system using the RS232
port, connect it now. If external triggers are going to be used
to control Loudspeaker movements, connect them now.
Once all Loudspeaker Power Cables, external controls and
accessories are connected to the TIME Controller and the
Dip Switches are set, as desired, plug the supplied AC Power
connector into the unit and plug the AC Power Pack into a
AC wall socket.
The unit is now ready to program using the TIME Remote Con-
trol or the TIME Tester Application, as described in the Ap-
pendix.
PROGRAMMING THE SPEAKER LOCATIONS
AND PRESETS
The Loudspeakers can now be controlled and presets pro-
grammed for the system. See the TIME Remote Owner’s Man-
ual for details on how to use the remote to program the unit,
but the general ow of programming each loudspeaker is
as follows (see the TIME Remote in the appendix for Time Re-
mote Button locations):
1. For each loudspeaker in a zone, rst select that zone.
2. Then use the Loudspeaker Select + or – button to select the
loudspeaker you want to control.
3. When the correct Loudspeaker’s LED you want to control is
lit, press the Control button on the remote and the LED should
start ashing.

4. Use the Remote rotational wheel and the tilt angles to cor-
rectly position the Loudspeaker as you desire.
5. If you want to store the speaker settings in that zone to a
preset button, Press and hold the Store button on the remote
until all LED’s on the remote ash. Then press the On/Off but-
ton or one of the Preset buttons (1, 2 or 3) on the remote. The
LED’s on the remote should stop ashing. NOTE: if you want
to exit the store function without saving a preset, then simply
press the Store button on the remote a second time. When
you are done controlling that Loudspeaker press the Control
button on the remote.
6. Go to the next Loudspeaker you wish to position by repeat-
ing steps 3 thru 5 above.
7. Steps 3-6 can be repeated for different pre-sets for this
zone.
8. Steps 1 thru 7 can be repeated for each loudspeaker zone,
as the system requires.
Note: Loudspeaker movement and locations can also be
done through the use of the Time Tester application as de-
scribed in the Appendix.
TRIGGER INPUTS
If you want to use trigger inputs (3-30V A/C or D/C) to cause
the loudspeakers to come into the room in a specic loca-
tion, then set the Time Controller Auto Sense switch to the
OFF position. Then apply a trigger input from an external de-
vice to activate that mode.
For instance you could have a home theater zone have a
home theater setup and when the TV and the amplier is
turned on, the trigger voltage sets the speakers to the home
theater position.
If the Amplier is the only device to come on, then the speak-
ers go to the 5 speaker stereo position. To accomplish this you
may need to use external devices. However, some compo-
nents have voltage outputs that are designed for this use.
In addition there are devices that can be used as part of an
automated system that will provide voltage to enable the
modes. The voltage source must be connected to the trig-
ger-input jack on the back of the time Controller using the
wiring on the trigger input connector shown in Appendix A.
If you need help conguring this correctly, please contact
SpeakerCraft’s Technical Support or a SpeakerCraft Autho-
rized Installer.

APPENDIX A
TIME Loudspeaker Power Cable
The wiring for the Cat 5 Cable is a straight thru connection. Typically the following convention is used:
The important thing is that pin 1 of the Speaker Side connector and pin 1 of the Electronics side connector are connected.
Same for Pin 2, Pin 3, etc. So that all 8 pins of the speaker side connector are connected to the corresponding pin on the
electronics side connector.

1. Pressing Zone 1-4 chooses the speakers in that zone and
allows presets, on/off to work on those speakers
2. Pressing Speaker Selector + button sends control to the
next speaker that can be controlled in that zone in a clock-
wise order. Pressing Speaker Selector - button sends control
to the next speaker that can be controlled in that zone in
a counter clockwise order. The LED on the loudspeaker se-
lected should light on the on the unit (the light on the remote
is not synchronized to the speaker being selected it is only a
visual indication that you have moved to the next speaker).
3. To control the movement of a speaker in the room, af-
ter selecting the loudspeaker you want to control, press the
Control button and the light on the speaker selected should
begin ashing.
4. After selecting the speaker for control, turning the Dial on
the remote to the right or left causes the speaker to rotate
to the desired location. The LED on the speaker is at a point
considered the “pointing direction.” So line up the LED where
you want the speaker to point.
5. While the speaker is selected for control, use the Preset Tilt
Angles to lower the loudspeaker into the room. Depending
on the height of the room and the desired prime listening
area, determines the proper angle to use. Choose 0º, 15º,
30º, or 45º to angle the loudspeaker to the desired location.
6. When you are done controlling that loudspeaker, press the
Control button and the LED on the loudspeaker should stop
ashing and be lit all the time.
7. Return to step 2 for the next speaker you want to control
and repeat steps 4 and 5 until all speakers in the zone are
aimed the way you want them to be.
8. To store the preset for the new speaker locations in that
zone after you set all the speakers in that zone and while you
are still in the control mode, press and hold the store button,
until all LED’s on remote ash, indicating that you are in the
Store mode. Then you press one of the presets 1-3 or the On/
Off button (this is a disguised installer default location so that
users will be less likely to reset this position). If you press the
Store button again, you will exit the store mode.
9. To bring the loudspeakers into a preset position. Press the
zone button of the loudspeakers you want to control and
then press “On/Off” button or one of the preset locations 1-
3. All the speakers in that zone will then move to their preset
position.
10. If you press the Power On/Off button the loudspeakers
will either be lowered into the room if they were closed be-
fore pressing the button or raised into the ceiling if the loud-
speakers were lowered into the room before the button was
pressed. Pressing the On/Off button momentarily to bring the
loudspeakers into the room returns them to the position they
were before the system was turned “off.”
11. If you press and hold the On/Off Button for more than 3
seconds, the speakers in that zone will return to their dealer
preset positions.
12. If you press and hold the Preset 3 Button for more than 3
seconds, the speakers will move so that the dog screws can
be accessed for installation or removal of the loudspeaker
from the ceiling.
Note: If buttons on the remote are not pressed for 1 minute,
then the remote should go into a sleep mode until a button
is pushed.
Note: Pressing the zone button for the rst time, in any zone,
after power up, will cause the speakers in that zone to calibrate
themselves, which means that they will go to the 0 degree and
full counter-clockwise position.
