Introduction
The ADA iBase, iBase eXtender, and iBase WP (Wall Plate) are designed to permit the Apple
iPod, iPod Mini and iPod Photo to play through, and be controlled by, an ADA multi-room
system. These systems include ADA’s Suite 8x8, Suite 16 and HTR-2400. Users can control
and navigate the iPod’s music database from ADA keypads, making it easy to select music (or
audiobooks) by playlist, genre, artist, album or song (or audiobook). The iBase, when used
with the iBase eXtender and iBase WP, display iPod information in real time on ADA keypads
that feature a display.
When using an ISO-E (ADA Bus to Ethernet), ISO-CAT-II (ADA Bus to RS-232), or ISO-USB
(ADA Bus to USB) converter device, the iBase provides control and feedback to touchscreen
control systems. The iBase has several address settings that permit multi-line text feedback
specifically for touchscreens. When using both ADA keypads and touchscreens together in a
system, specific address settings can be used to provide feedback to both single line display
ADA keypads and multiple line touchscreen feedback windows.
The iBase with the optional iBase eXtender and the iBase WP can be used in any number of
different installation scenarios. Also, multiple iBases can be used in a single installation (up to
eight). Finally, the iBase can also be used on its own as an attractive and functional docking
base for the iPod family of music players.

The iBase has two push-buttons on the
front right corner of the unit. The outer
button and its associated green LED is
the Control Mode button.
When you place the iPod in the ADA
iBase it will be automatically sensed and
placed into Remote Control mode. This
process normally takes a few seconds
and is indicated by the plexiglass back
going through a red-yellow-green color
sequence. The green LED illuminates
when the iPod is docked.
By pressing the Control Mode button it
will place the iPod into the iPod Control
mode, allowing you to control it directly
from the iPod’s touch wheel.
If you change back and forth between
Remote Control mode and iPod Control
mode, expect a delay as the iBase re-
sets its sequence. Whenever the iBase
is switched between Remote Control
mode and iPod Control mode, the song
playing will stop and the current selec-
tion will clear.

Setting the iBase Lighting Mode
The inner button on top of the iBase switches
between the light display modes that illu-
minate the plexiglass against which the iPod
sits. You can create two different lighting
setups - one for when the iPod is docked
and one for when it is removed from the
iBase.
When removed, there are eight settings. You
can select one of seven solid colors or off.
When the iPod is on the iBase, there are
twelve settings; four audio controlled modes
(light organ), seven solid colors, and off.
Each time you press the Light Mode button
it changes to the next mode.
Your selection is stored in nonvolatile
memory so it will illuminate the same way
each time the iPod is on the iBase or re-
moved.
If you select one of the audio controlled modes while the ipod is stopped, paused, or playing
a quiet track, the plexiglass won’t illuminate. The audio controlled modes change in color
based on the audio level, like a color organ. The first two audio controlled modes have fixed
filters to control the colors (different colors assigned to different frequencies) with two differ-
ent modulation rates (slow light show or fast light show). The second pair of audio controlled
modes are randomized (progressive color changes independent of frequencies) with two
different modulation (speed) rates.
Docking the iPod while playing a song
If you are listening to a song on your iPod
and want to dock the iPod without
interupting the song, press and hold the
Control Mode button while you insert the
iPod into the iBase. Release the Control
Mode button when the iPod is firmly seated
in the iBase. The iPod will dock in the iPod
Control mode and the song will continue to
play. If you want to switch the iBase to the
Remote Control mode, press the Control
Mode button. The song will stop playing,
the current selection will clear and the iPod
will switch to the Remote Control Mode.

As the iPod begins to dock with the iBase, the iPod’s
display will show a checkmark followed by the ADA logo
once fully docked. Also, the plexiglass back plate will
illuminate first red, then yellow, then green as the iPod is
being docked. Once docked, the selected docked light-
ing mode will be activated. Note that for a light organ
setting, no light will be shown until music is playing.
Keypads will display the following sequence resting on
the term “iPOD STOPPED”.

ADA keypads operate
the iPod similarly to its
touch wheel. Once
the iPod is fully
docked, and in the Re-
mote Control mode,
pressing either the
<< or >> buttons on
the keypad will scroll
through the top level
of the iPod’s directory.
Here, there are six op-
tions including Playlist,
Genre, Artists, Songs,
Albums, and Audio-
books. The “<“ on the
far right of the display
indicates that you are in a navigation mode.
While the display is showing the option you want, press the Play button
(>) or the ENTER button to select.
For example, while on
“ARTISTS”, pressing the Play button (>) might
display the first artist, “Beach Boys<” where the “<“ arrow indicates you that you are in the
navigation mode. By pressing the Play button (>), the display will read “ALL ALBUMS<“.
Pressing the Play button (>) again will display “Surfin USA<“. Another press of the Play
button (>) will play the first track of the “Surfin USA” album. The flow chart below details the
iPod’s menu structure.

The ADA iBase features a metal base
with a plexiglass mount. The connec-
tor for the iPod is at the bottom of the
plexiglass in the front of the iBase.
There are also two buttons and two
LEDs on the top plate of the iBase.
These set the lighting mode and Con-
trol mode of the iBase.
The unit has various connectors on the
rear panel.
There is a DC jack for local power and
an address switch set for control and
feedback options.
The 10 pin iBase eXtender port (RJ-50
connector) provides DC power, ADA
Bus communication and balanced au-
dio in a single wire, which affords neat
installations. Using the RJ-50 port al-
lows the iBase to be placed long dis-
tances (tested up to 600’ of Cat. 5 wire)
from the main equipment rack while
maintaining audio quality and remote
data control. When using the iBase
in this manner, the ADA iBase eXtender
and iBase WP (Wall Plate) accessories
must be used. The iBase eXtender
should be placed at the audio equip-
ment end of the wiring run, convert-
ing the balanced audio back to unbal-
anced audio (RCA jacks) and the con-
trol data to ADA Bus data.
For iPod Photos, there are a compos-
ite video and S-Video outputs. Cur-
rently there are no remote control
codes for photo display operations.
Stereo audio outputs are provided
through standard RCA connectors and
as balanced audio through the iBase
eXtender port (10 pin RJ-50 connec-
tor). You may use both simultaneously.

iBase eXtender Kit Description
The ADA iBase eXtender Kit includes
three items: the iBase eXtender, the
iBase eXtender WP (Wall Plate) and
the RJ-50 wire that connects the WP
to the iBase.
The iBase eXtender should be located
at the main equipment location. It
features stereo audio outputs on its
front panel for connection to the mu-
sic system. The Audio Output Level
Control permits you to adjust the out-
put level of the iPod prior to
preamplification. There is also a low
voltage AC input jack for connection
to the included transformer.
The back of the iBase eXtender fea-
tures a ten pin screw terminal con-
nector which is attached to the wires
between the iBase eXtender and the
iBase eXtender WP (Wall Plate).
There is also an ADA Bus screw ter-
minal connector for wiring to a WH-
2000 or WH-4000 Wiring Harness.
The Address switch is used to set the
address of the iBase eXtender and
must match that of the iBase.
The iBase eXtender WP is the wall
plate to which the iBase is connected.
ADA also provides the flat wire with
10-pin RJ-50 connectors in a ten foot
length for connection of the WP to the
iBase. The front of the WP features
the RJ-50 jack as well as a low volt-
age DC input jack.
See the various iBase installation op-
tions in this manual for more infor-
mation.

iBase & eXtender Addressing
The backs of both the iBase and the iBase eXtender
have a rotary Address switch with sixteen position op-
tions labeled 0-9 and A-F. These are described in the
chart at the bottom of the page. To ensure proper
communication with ADA keypads and/or touchscreen
control systems, the address you select must match
the source control settings of the keypads and/or
touchscreen control system.

ADA Keypad Text Displays - The iBase transmits
the first 24 characters of text information generated by the iPod. ADA keypads that feature a
12 character display require text feedback to be sent in strings containing 12 characters. If a
data field (status, song, artist, album, playlist, genre or audiobook) contains more than 12
characters, the keypad will scroll all characters (up to 24) across the display once, then rest
on the first 12 characters. When displaying multiple data fields, the fields display one at a
time. There are eight Special CD address options permitting up to eight iBases to be included
in a single installation. Please note that with each additional iPod/iBase on the system, the
system’s data traffic will increase, which might slow down control and feedback operations.

Combination Addresses - For systems using both ADA keypads and touchscreens, there
are four address options that will provide data to both at the same time.
Control CodesControl Codes
Control CodesControl Codes
Control Codes - The control codes are the same for keypad or touchscreen settings. As
such, if you are controlling the iPod via the iBase from a touchscreen and are not getting any
feedback, try the same Special CD address number using the alternate feedback option (in-
stead of four line, try single line).

Legacy ADA Keypad SystemsLegacy ADA Keypad Systems
Legacy ADA Keypad Systems - Legacy ADA Bus systems typically operated at 1200 baud
and used segmented LED displays that only represent capital letters. For these systems, you
can use one iBase set to address F. Here the iBase will generate only capital letters and
communicate at 1200 baud.

iBase Install Option 1 Two Cat. 5 Cables
When installing the iBase into a system where two Cat. 5 cables
are run between the iBase eXtender WP and the iBase eXtender,
ADA recommends wiring the four balanced audio lines & the
control lines on one cable with the power wires on the other
Cat. 5 cable. Each power terminal is connected with 2-pairs of
wires. When running more than 2 iBases on an HTR-2400, you
have to plug in the 15VDC power supply on the WP or iBase.
The HTR-2400 does not provide enough ADA Bus power for
more than two iBases.

iBase Install Option 2 Cat. 5 & 2-Cond. Wire
When installing the iBase into a system where one Cat. 5 cable
and one two-conductor wire (or combination cable) are run
between the iBase eXtender WP and the iBase eXtender, ADA
recommends wiring the four balanced audio wires and the four
control wires on one Cat. 5 cable. The power should be run on
the two-conductor, 18-gauge wire. When running more than 2
iBases on an HTR-2400, you have to plug in the 15VDC power
supply on the WP or iBase. The HTR-2400 does not provide
enough ADA Bus power for more than two iBases.

When installing the iBase into a system where only one Cat. 5 cable is run between the iBase
eXtender WP and the iBase eXtender, wire the four balanced audio wires and the four control
wires on the Cat. 5 cable. Connect a DC transformer directly to the iBase eXtender WP (Wall
Plate). Connect the transformer to the WP’s front plate DC con-
nector, connect the two wires on the back of the connector to
pins 5 & 6. This wiring option does not power the iBase off the
ADA Bus. When running more than 2 iBases on an HTR-2400,

Do not connect
the WP’s DC jack
power wires.
iBase Install Option 4 One Cat. 5 Cable
When installing the iBase into a system where only one Cat. 5 cable is run between the iBase
eXtender WP and the iBase eXtender, wire the four balanced audio wires and the four control
wires on the Cat. 5 cable. In this setup, you can connect a DC
transformer directly to the iBase. This option is ideal if the trans-
former cannot be easily connected to the iBase eXtender WP
(wall plate). This wiring option does not power the iBase off the
ADA Bus. When running more than 2 iBases on an HTR-2400,
you have to plug in the 15VDC power supply on the WP or iBase.
The HTR-2400 does not provide enough ADA Bus power for more
than two iBases.
