How do you install a Rowe/AMI cd wallbox?
I want to hook my wallbox into my MMCD-1 100 cd Rowe jukebox. The
wallbox has 9 connections inside.... The L and R channels must be the speakers. I am assuming that most of the other connections will go to the title rack keyboard interface assy? a/c power power com L channel R channel audio com. rowelink a rowelink a rowelink b rowelink b |

Normally a 120v to 28v transformer ( @ about 3A ) is supplied with the wallbox, and installed in the jukebox, plugged into the mains power socket on the power transformer module at the back of the amplifier compartment, The 28VAC from this transformer is then taken to the wallbox. You should use suitably thick wire to avoid losses (at least mains cable, not telephone or thin speaker cable). If you are going a long distance, you will need thicker wire or 2 parallel runs of the same wire. If the POWER COM terminal goes to an earth wire (green/yellow) or to the metal case back, (this is the case with the large CD wall mount jukeboxes) then take that SAME wire to an green/ yellow earth at the juke box end for proper earthing. I would strongly suggest rolling out the proposed wire on the floor to the proposed location of the unit, connecting it up and checking that there isn't a big voltage drop at the wallbox. Any more than a couple of volts loss I would use thicker wire. If you didn't get a transformer with your jukebox, you could buy a suitable 28vac unit, put a fuse in the output line and use this. While you may be able to get away with using the 28vac supply in the existing juke box, this might not be enough ? L channel R channel - these are for the speakers in the wallbox. Take these back to the output transformer in the juke box. I would connect each of these to (say) E2 or E3 on each side. Moving the wires to higher E values will increase the speaker volume, but don't exceed the wattage of the speakers. Audio COM should to to the E1 terminal (doesn't matter which one). These 3 connections should be made using suitable speaker wire (or fig 8 type mains wire). Rowelink A & B go to the 3 pin connector at the lower right of the Central Control Computer marked P10 P11 P12 (use any of these) (with orange and white wires). You can use any wire you like for this. We have used CAT 5 or standard 2 pair telephone cable many times with no problems. You wont damage anything if you reverse these wires. If the wallbox or juke doesnt work or gives errors after connection, and the power measures ok then reverse these 2 wires. If you don't have the plug and pins that are required, you could splice these orange and white wires to the existing harness without problems. They all run in parallel throughout the system anyway. (to Bill Acceptor, IR Remote, Mechanism,) Note that you can only put a maximum of 4 wallboxes on one CD juke and they each need a unique address. (dont worry about this if you only have one) Any more and you need a special adaptor board. I have never seen one of these boards, don't know what it looks like or the cost. You don't have to set pricing, the price table, black list (blocked tracks) and initialisation data are transmitted to the wall box upon powering up the jukebox. If you are going to install this on location, I would suggest a practice run setting it up on the bench at home first, testing it and knowing that it works and how it all works beforehand. |
