Product Description
The BSS EC-V-BLK-US is a remarkable Ethernet wall controller designed for Harman HiQnet systems. It can effectively control and monitor parameters in BSS Audio Soundweb London, Crown DCi series amplifiers, and other HiQnet devices. Available in sleek black or white, and in single - gang US Decora or EU form factors, it fits nicely in any setting. The EC - V features a single Ethernet port for configuration, control, monitoring, and power via PoE. It's easily configured through simple drag - and - drop operations in the HiQnet Audio Architect software. This controller comes with one push/rotary encoder and a multi - color backlit encoder ring. The encoder ring can show eight different colors with adjustable intensity, a bouncing audio meter, and temporary volume or binary parameter settings. The push/rotary encoder allows continuous parameter control like volume adjustment and binary control such as mute or preset recall. The EC - V also has a useful'sleep' function. After a set time without user input, it turns off all LEDs to avoid distraction in low - light areas and wakes up with any user interaction. It can be remotely locked and unlocked for security. Key features include compatibility with multiple HiQnet devices, PoE power, easy configuration, programmable encoders, sleep function, and remote lock/unlock. Technical specs: max network cable length is 328 feet (100 meters), power consumption is 300mA max at 48VDC, and recommended Ethernet cable wiring is VW - 1 Rated, 48VDC, 13W.
Using the BSS EC - V Ethernet Controller is a breeze. First, connect it to your network using the Ethernet port and power it via PoE. Open the HiQnet Audio Architect software and use the simple drag - and - drop operations to configure it according to your needs. To control parameters like volume, just rotate the push/rotary encoder. Press it for functions like mute or to recall presets. The encoder ring will show useful information like volume levels or binary status. Remember, if you're in a dimly lit place, the'sleep' function will turn off the LEDs after a while to avoid distraction. Just interact with the controller to wake it up. For security, you can lock or unlock it remotely through other control systems. As for maintenance, keep it clean and free from dust. Check the Ethernet cable regularly for any signs of damage. Make sure to use the recommended cable wiring for optimal performance. Also, don't exceed the maximum network cable length of 328 feet (100 meters) and be aware of the power consumption limit of 300mA max at 48VDC.
