The ex-factory fitted panel is the UK-style panel. If the panel needs to be exchanged to the included EU-style replacement panel, follow the below procedure:
Carefully pull off the volume control knob Loosen and remove the 4 rear-side screws which hold the PCB to
the front panel. Carefully lift off the front panel. Fit the new front panel without applying any force. Make sure all
switch caps and LED heads align with the apertures in the front panel. Re-fit the 4 mounting screws which hold the PCB to the front panel. Re-fit the volume control knob. Make sure to align the D-shaped cavity of the knob with the shaft of the rotary control.

About this product
The VRE11 is a wall-mounted remote control panel for compatible Intusonic products utilizing the IntulinkTM bus. This wall remote control panel allows to remotely select a source, adjust the volume, observe the level setting and feed a local audio source to the controlled unit. The VRE11 is powered by the controlled unit through a single shielded CAT5/CAT6 cable.

at the output of the controlled unit, turning the encoder counterclockwise will decrease the volume. The current volume setting will be indicated by the volume indicator LEDs (5). Pressing the encoder will invoke a mute status. All settings will be replicated on the user interface of the controlled unit. Volume indicator LEDs. This linear arrangement of 8 LEDs indicates the current volume setting. The 8 LEDs will incrementally be lit when the volume is increased via the volume control (4). It takes more than one detent of turns with the volume control to invoke the next LED, as the number of internally available volume adjustment steps is bigger than 8. All indications will be replicated on the user interface of the controlled unit. Source selector switches. These are tact switches accompanied by source status LEDs (7). Pressing one of these switches will change the active source to the selected source. The relative source status LED (7) will be lit. All settings will be replicated on the user interface of the controlled unit. Source status LEDs. Once a source has been selected by the source selector switches (6), the relative source status LED will be lit. All indications will be replicated on the user interface of the controlled u nit. Local source selector and indicator LED. Pressing this switch will activate the audio replay from the local line input (9), and once active, the accompanying source indicator LED will be lit. Note that this external source can only be activated from the VRE11, but not from the controlled unit. The selection of this source is however indicated on the user interface of the controlled unit. Local audio line input. This is a 3.5mm unbalanced TRS jack. Connect any local line-level source here. Note that while the jack accepts a stereo signal, the stereo signal will be summed to mono and will only become available as a source signal at the controlled unit in mono accordingly. Press the local audio source selector switch (8) to make this the active source. IR sensor. This optical sensor will receive the signals from an optional IRB44 infrared remote control, as long as there is a line of unobstructed sight between the unit and the infrared remote control. See any controlled unit’s user manual for instructions about the IRB44 infrared remote control.

The IntulinkTM bus system
The VRE11 uses Intusonic’s IntulinkTM control bus system, which uses standard CAT5/CAT6 shielded cables and combines RS485 control lines with power supply lines and a mono balanced audio connection according to the following pinout:

A documentation of the RS485 commands used for remotely controlling devices with the IntulinkTM bus system is continuously updated and hence only available for download from www.intusonic.com.
WARNING! Do not connect any other devices but Intusonic products with InutlinkTM bus connection to the RJ45 ports of this unit. PC network connections or other manufacturer’s RJ45-based interconnection systems are or may be incompatible, and the attempt of making such connection may result in damage of this unit or other equipment. The manufacturer accepts no claims towards damages evolving from incorrect connections. ATTENTION! Do only use shielded CAT5/CAT6 cables with shielded connectors for better suppression of interference (EMI) in long cables ru ns. ATTENTION! To make sure that your installation complies with EMC requirements, you must attached snap-on ferrites to both ends or at least one end (recommended close to the main unit) of the CAT5/CAT6 cable(s).
