Channel Vision A0320 Micro-USB Bluetooth Wall Dock — Installation & Reference Manual

Installation and reference manual for the Channel Vision A0320 Micro-USB Bluetooth® Wall Dock — an on-wall Bluetooth docking station for distributed audio systems that charges a Micro-USB device and streams audio via a standard RCA line-level output.

Overview

The A0320 is an on-wall Bluetooth docking station that charges a Micro-USB device. The non-skid pad helps hold the music player in place. Its elegant, contemporary design makes it perfect for enjoying music without defacing your wall.

Features

• Charges a Micro-USB device
• Mounts in a standard 2-gang box
• Bluetooth streaming
• Provides a standard RCA line-level audio output

Components

Wall Dock

• Hinged Dock Lid — rotates down to cover the dock connector
• Dock Connector — connects to the device
• Non-Skid Pad — secures the device
• RJ-45 & 110 Connectors — connect to the output wall plate via CAT5 cable (use only one)

Output Wall Plate

• Audio Outputs (front) — connect to your amplifier
• RJ-45 & 110 Connectors (back) — receive signals from the wall dock via Category 5 or Category 6 cable

Installing the Trim Plate Accessory

1. Install output wall plate in the j-box.
2. Install trim plate chassis over the output wall plate.
3. Snap the front cover over the chassis.
4. Snap the side flange onto the front cover.
5. Snap the trim into place.

Basic Application

The A0320 Wall Dock connects to the A0320 Output Wall Plate via CAT5 cable — up to 350 feet — feeding a whole-house audio system.

Sample Wiring: Used with the A0350 (Aria Flush Mount Amplifier)

The A0320 connects via CAT5 to an A0350 Aria flush-mount amplifier by Channel Vision, which drives speakers and can accept IR and 24VDC connections. A single-gang trim plate can hold a single-gang keypad next to the dock in a 3-gang junction box (see trim plate installation above). When used with the A0350, the A0129 keypad can control volume up/down on the dock.

Sample Wiring: Used with the AB-412 (A-BUS Distribution Module)

The A0320 can be wired through an AB-412 1x4 A-BUS Distribution Module for multi-zone distribution, connecting to Zone 1/Zone 2 outputs and an AB-134 amplifier module to power room speakers. Use speaker wire rated for in-wall use — AWG 18 or larger is recommended. Be sure to wire speakers in phase (+ terminal on the AB-134 to the + or red terminal on each speaker).

Installing the Wall Dock

1. Connect all wiring.
2. Attach the main chassis to the j-box using the provided four 6-32 screws.
3. Feed the dock connector circuit board through the opening in the front cover.
4. Hang the front cover on the main chassis from the two top tabs.
5. Secure the front cover with the two small screws at the bottom.
6. Place the dock platform over the slide rail and push downward until the retention snaps engage.
7. Slide the side protectors into the slots on the main chassis.

3-Gang Installation (with adjacent keypad)

In some installations it may be desirable to mount a single-gang control keypad next to the A0320. Use the correct installation tools (J-110 tool or 110 crimp tool):

1. Connect all wiring.
2. Install the keypad and single-gang trim plate in the far-left position of the 3-gang junction box.
3. Leave off the right-side flange and trim piece.
4. Install the dock in the left side of the 3-gang j-box — it will overlap and snap into the single-gang trim plate.

Bluetooth Functionality

Pairing

1. Turn Bluetooth on in the pairing device and scan for Bluetooth devices.
2. Click on "Android Dock-XXXX" (where XXXX is the last 4 digits of the MAC address) in the Bluetooth device scan list.
3. The pairing device will request a PIN code. The default code is 1234.
4. Enter the PIN code.
5. Your device will pair with the Android dock.
6. Turn on music to begin streaming.

Disconnecting the Dock

Disconnect the Bluetooth connection from the device's Bluetooth menu. If you walk away, the dock will automatically disconnect from the device within 30 seconds.

Connecting the Dock to Another Device

Disconnect the currently paired dock, then turn on Bluetooth on the new pairing device, scan, select "Android Dock-XXXX," and enter the default PIN code (1234) to pair.

Connection Tips & Troubleshooting

Note: Maximum charging voltage is 5VDC 500mA. Do not plug in a device such as a tablet computer to this dock — doing so can cause damage to either device and will void the warranty.

Additional tips: The A0320 provides 5VDC charging voltage — the device screen should indicate charging. Confirm power is reaching the volume control keypad (press volume buttons to see if LEDs light). Maximum recommended wire length between wall dock and breakout plate is 350 feet — greater distances may cause erratic performance from CAT5 power loss.

Stripping and Connecting CAT-5 Wire

Use a proper stripping tool such as Channel Vision's J-110 tool: place the CAT-5 between the blade and the first notch, rotate the tool only one turn (multiple turns will cut into the inner wires), then inspect the inner wires for damage — start over if any wires are cut.
