The TA-10 is an excellent automation. The only issue I had with them is be very careful how and where you run the interlock connections between automations. If you can find that old thread I started some time ago, you will see how I had to pull my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong.
After I found out how the installer strung the wiring, I disconnected and abandoned the whole interlock wiring lash-up and have had absolutely no problem with them since.
Wiring error? Don't run them out of the automation, into the raceway, through the primary power raceway into the sound rack, through the sound rack, up through the speaker wire raceway, across the to the adjacent auditorium speaker wire raceway, down into the sound cabinet via the speaker wire raceway, out through the primary raceway into the main raceway and finally into the automation of the second and third projection station.
Xenon ignitions in one theatre would shut down the movies in the adjacent houses, lock up the adjacent house automation computer, burning up a couple of electric dousers, and drive the projectionist NUTS!!!!
Do it right and you should have a trouble free system.

What's the problem with that, Paul???? Isn't that how you routed the coax from your transmitter to the tower???
