PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The CA-LCD keypad is an accessory to the CA-6.4 and CA4.4pi audio distrib-
ution systems. The CA-LCD controls volume and source selection for the
zone that it is in. The backlit LCD display shows the source that is selected as
well as the volume level. The backlight can be selected between green and
amber. Each of the four sources can be designated by easily selecting one of
the 23 source labels with a quick selection from the front of the keypad.
Volume, source selection, room on / off and backlight operation can be
operated from the CA-LCD remote. The IR receiver on the CA-LCD will also
pass IR to operate source components. A 12-VDC trigger output allows oper-
ation of 12 volt-triggered products like the Russound SRM-2.1 speaker relay
module. The Russound CA-LCD keypad is built with pride. Reliability and
quality are the primary objective. Russound products are guaranteed to pro-
vide years of enjoyment.
KEYPAD CONNECTIONS
Each keypad connection on the back panel of the CA audio distribution sys-
tem corresponds to the room / zone number chosen for your speakers. Each
zone operates independently, so it is very important to connect the keypad
to the correct zone keypad input. The recommended wire length for CAT-5 is
no longer than 125 feet. If the length is greater, use an 8 conductor 22
AWG wire. Connect each wire 1 thru 8 using a small jewelers screwdriver.
Take note of the color of each wire and the number, being sure that the
color and number match at the keypad and the keypad input on the con-
troller. If you are using the SRM-2.1 speaker relay module, wire the +, - ter-
minals of the CA-LCD to the SRM-2.1 +, - terminals.

SETTING THE KEYPAD
Before the keypad is installed into the j-
box, turn on the power so that you can
operate the keypad. The amber and the
green back light brightness can be individ-
ually set. Note the brightness controls are
located on the side of the keypad. Adjust
to the desired brightness the backlight
that first comes on. Press and hold the
lamp button on the front of the keypad
until the backlight switches to the other
color. Adjust the brightness for the select-
ed color. Also the maximum volume and
the balance can be set at this time.

INSTALLING THE KEYPAD
The best performance is achieved when the keypad is placed away from
direct sunlight. Consider a convenient operating location before wiring.
Choose a place that is easily seen from the common areas of the room. Be
sure that you will be able to route the wire for the keypad for the area you
have selected. The wire should not be run or placed near AC wiring. Mount
the keypad into a standard 18 cubic inch j-box or p-ring using a Decora-
style cover plate when finished. If you are installing the DSC keypad you will
need to use a double-gang electrical box. If you are installing the CA-LCD,
DSC and the DAN keypad you will need to install a triple-gang electrical
box.
