1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section in order to ensure long,
trouble-free operation.
•Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings
regarding safety.
•After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.
Safety Symbol and Message Conventions
Safety symbols and messages are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage which
could result from mishandling. The conventions of the symbols and messages are described below. Before
doing anything else, read this section first so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards as well
as understanding the safety symbols and messages. Then before operating your equipment, read through the
instruction manual so you are familiar with its general operation.
•This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case
the user may be required to take adequate measures.
•Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified
may result in fire or electric shock.
•Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket.
Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury.
•Only install the unit indoors. Installing the unit outdoors could result in the unit falling down due to
deterioration, possibly causing personal injury. Also, electric shock could result from the unit’s exposure to
rain.
•Should the following irregularities be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the
power supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Do not attempt to further
operate the unit to avoid fire or electric shock.
• If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.
• If water or any foreign object gets into the unit.
• If the unit falls or the unit case breaks.
• If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core or cable disconnection, etc.).
•Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock.
•Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, or in locations
generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric shock.
•Do not place heavy objects on the unit. Such object may fall or the unit may tip over, possibly resulting in
personal injury.
•Make sure that the volume control is set to minimum position before power is switched on. Loud noise
produced at high volume when power is switched on can impair hearing.
2
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could result in
moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage if ignored or
mishandled.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could result in death or
serious personal injury if ignored or mishandled.
WARNING
Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be
splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or
electric shock.
WARNING

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Modifications
Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by TOA Corporation may void the authority
granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment.
C-AP105 complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) has not tested the performance or reliability of the security aspects
of this product. UL has only tested for fire, shock or casualties as outlined in UL's Standard(s) for
Safety. UL Certification does not cover the performance or reliability of the security hardware and

4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
•The Coxial Audio Adapter and the camera's microphone cannot be used simultaneously. If the camera has a
built-in microphone, turn off the microphone during camera video operation. If the camera is equipped with
an external microphone (C-A10MC), do not use the microphone during camera operation.
•When using multiple C-AP105 units, be sure to only connect Unit A to Unit B. The system will not operate
correctly if Unit A is connected to Unit A or Unit B is connected to Unit B.
•Use relays when controlling equipment that exceeds the unit's contact output capacity of 30V DC/10 mA.
•When permanently installing the Audio Adapter, do not place it on equipment that can generate excessive
heat (over 60°C), such as a camera drive or power amplifier.
2. LIST OF INCLUDED COMPONENTS AND PARTS
Check to be sure that the following components and parts are contained in the package.
Note : Use relays when the control current of equipment connected to the contact output exceeds 10 mA.

5. NOMENCLATURE AND FUNCTIONS
[Front Panel]
(1) Power Indicator
Lights (green) when the power is supplied to the
unit.
(2) Amplifier Volume Control
Adjusts the built-in amplifier volume.
(3) Input Level Control
Adjusts the input signal level.
(4) Input Level Selector
Selects the input signal level.
(MIC: -60 dB/LINE: -20 dB)
(5) Contact Status Indicator
Lights (green) when the contact is ready for
communications.
(6) Audio Status Indicator
Lights (green) when the unit is ready for audio
communications.
(7) Power Supply Terminal
Connect to the DC power supply (rated at 12V
DC/ 350 mA ).
(8) AC/ DC Adapter Terminal
An AC/DC adapter can be used. The adapter
must be suitable for the requirements of last
page.
(9) Video Input/ Output Terminal
Connects to video equipment such as cameras
and monitors. Because direct current passes
through this terminal, single-cable cameras can
also be connected. When using a single-cable
camera, connect the monitor to the drive unit's
camera input.
(10) AP Line
Used to connect Unit A and Unit B. Do not
connect other equipment between both units.
(11) Audio Output Terminal
Connect a power amplifier to this terminal if the
output power of the built-in amplifier (1W) is
insufficient.
(12) Audio Input Terminal
Connects to a MIC or LINE signal level sound
source. When using an electret condenser
microphone, short the phantom power supply
terminal and the input terminal with a lead wire.
The phantom power supply specification is 5V/0.2
mA.
(13) Speaker Terminal
An output of up to 1W can be obtained when an
8 Ωspeaker is connected.
(14) Contact Input Terminal
A no-voltage make contact input with a 12V open
voltage and 200 Ωloop resistance. The 0V
(ground level) C terminal (cold side) is common to
4 contact inputs.
(15) Contact Output Terminal
An open collector output with a contact capacity
of 30V DC/ 10 mA. Connect the positive DC
power line from the connected component to the
Audio Adapter's numbered terminal, and the
negative DC power line to the C terminal. The C
terminals are independent for each contact.

Note: When using stranded or shielded cable, do not solder the stripped and exposed ends. When the cable
is clamped, the solder becomes crushed, increasing contact resistance and possibly resulting in unit
malfunction.
6.2. Cable Connections
1. Loosen the terminal screw to insert
the cable into the connector, then
retighten the screw. Tug lightly on
the cable to be sure that it does not
pull free.
2. Insert the connector into the rear
panel-mounted terminal.
3. Tighten the fixing screw.
Notes
•Take care not to reverse Steps 1 and
2. When tightening the terminal
screw, force is applied to the
connector pins on the internal circuit
board, possibly resulting in poor
contact.
•Use the appropriate type of screw-
driver for the connector wiring screws.

Ensure that a coaxial cable is correctly
connected to the AP line terminal. Check
to confirm that the installed cable length is
within the range of permissible cable
distance.
Connect the phantom power supply.
Ensure all terminals are properly
connected with the correct polarity.
Adjust using the Input level selector switch
and input level control.
Ensure that a coaxial cable is correctly
connected to the AP line terminal.Check to
confirm that the installed cable length is

be performed while the indicator
remains off.
The contact input of another unit is
not correctly connected, or the
Contact output is not correctly
connected to a corresponding
Contact input.
