Procedure
Topology and Wiring
One of two wiring topologies is used for wiring ControlCenter analog controllers to PowerSpace+ amplifiers: daisy-chain and star.
Daisy-chain topology refers to CAT5e cabling that starts at the amplifier, and is then routed to the first controller's location and terminated to the controller. A second CAT5e cable is routed from the first controller's location to the second controller's location and terminated. This continues until the the last controller in the chain, as pictured below.
Star topology refers to each controller having its own CAT5e cable routed back to a central location, such as the head end, where the PowerSpace+ amplifier would typically be located. In this topology, the Bose ControlCenter CV41 is required to connect the controllers to the amplifier. The CV41 is a special wiring device that combines the signals from the cabling of each of the 4 controllers to a single cable that will connect to the PowerSpace+ amplifier, as pictured below.
After the topology is determined and cabling is in place, terminate each cable following the EIA/TIA-568B standard.
Dip Switch Settings
CC-1 Controllers
When connecting to a PowerSpace+ amplifier, use the following DIP switch settings to configure ControlCenter analog zone controllers. The ControlCenter CC-1 DIP switches assign an ID that must match the ID of the controller that is assigned to the listening area in the configuration utility. Each CC-1 controller requires DIP switch 3 to be ON. Only one of the DIP switches 5, 6, 7,or 8 must be ON to match the ID assigned to the listening area in the configuration utility. Set DIP switch 5 to ON for ID 1, DIP switch 6 to ON for ID 2, DIP switch 7 to ON for ID 3, or DIP switch 8 to ON for ID 4. The image below illustrates a scenario where four CC-1 controllers are used in a system.
CC-1 #1 is configured as ID 1, CC-1 #2 is configured as ID 2, CC-1 #3 is configured as ID 3, and CC-1 #4 is configured as ID 4.
CC-2 Controllers
Up to two CC-2 controllers can be connected to an amplifier in a given system. The CC-2 DIP switches assign an ID that must match the ID of the controller that is assigned to the listening area in the configuration utility.
NOTE: The CC-2 controller can only be configured as ID 1 or ID 2.
This single CC-2 is configured as ID 1 with DIP switches 1, 3, and 5 ON.
CC-2 #1 is configured as ID 1 with DIP switches 1, 3, and 5 ON and CC-2 #2 is configured as ID 2 with DIP switches 2, 4, and 6 ON. DIP switches 7 and 8 are not used on the CC-2.
CC-1 and CC-2 Controller Combinations
CC-1 is configured as ID 1 and CC-2 as ID 2. The ID configurations can also be swapped where the CC-2 is ID 1 and the CC-1 is ID 2.
The CC-2 must be either ID 1 or ID 2 in this configuration. CC-1 #1 is configured as ID 1, CC-2 as ID 2, and CC-1 #2 as ID 3.
The two CC-2s must be ID 1 and ID 2 in this configuration. CC-2 #1 is configured as ID 1, CC-2 #2 as ID 2, and the CC-1 as ID 3.
The CC-2 can only be ID 2 in this configuration. CC-1 #1 is configured as ID 1, CC-2 as ID 2, CC-1 #2 as ID 3, and CC-1 #3 as ID 4.
CC-3 Controller
Only one CC-3 controller can be connected to an amplifier and there are no DIP switches to set.
