Russound SA-ZX3 Instruction Manual

Caution: Disconnect power to the
controller until all connections
have been made and verified.
Installation
Position the SA-ZX3 near the controller and source equip-
ment. For clean installations, use an RJ45 wall plate (option-
al) near the SA-ZX3, and then wire from the wall plate to the
keypad.
Connections
The SA-ZX3 connects to the controller's keypad port with an
RJ45 CAT-5 patch cable. The Keypad Ports are located on
the back of the controller.
Attach one end of an RJ45 CAT-5 patch cable to the con-
troller's Keypad Port, and the other end to the SA-ZX3
Controller Keypad Port.
Use an RJ45 CAT-5 patch cable between each SA-ZX3
Keypad Port and an RJ45 wall plate. Determine the length of
CAT-5 needed to run between the wall plate and the room
where the keypad is located. Terminate the CAT-5 as
instructed at the wall plate using T568A standard. At the
keypad end, terminate the CAT-5 using the 110 punchdown
connection on the back of the keypad.
Configuration
All keypads sharing an SA-ZX3 control the same zone. If an
UNO-TS2 Touchscreen shares an SA-ZX3 with an UNO-S1 or
UNO-S2, the touchscreen must be configured for the same
zone. See the UNO-TS2 Instruction Manual for details.
Power Supply
Each SA-ZX3 requires its own power supply. The 1201A
power supply provides 12VDC 1A to power the SA-ZX3 and
attached keypads. The 1201A must be plugged into an AC
outlet after installation. When the SA-ZX3 is powered, the
red Power LED will be illuminated.
Operation
The SA-ZX3 passes all controller Keypad Port communica-
tions to the attached keypads at the SA-ZX3 Keypad Ports.
This expands the one controller Keypad Port to allow same
room control from up to three keypads. The keypads are
operated manually or by using the optional system remote
control.

the date of purchase against all defects in materials and work-
manship. During this period Russound will replace any defective

Keypad Splitter
for Russound Controllers

Instruction Manual

SA-ZX3 Overview
The SA-ZX3 Keypad Splitter is an RNET ® or CA controller
system accessory that converts one Keypad Port on a
controller into connections for up to three keypads.
The SA-ZX3 can also be used to provide additional power
when two or more UNO-TS2 Touchscreens are connected to
a CAV6.6 or CAM6.6 controller.
The SA-ZX3 requires a 1A 12VDC power supply
(P/N 1201A). The SA-ZX3 connects to the controller's key-
pad port with an RJ45 CAT-5 patch cable. The keypad con-
nects to the SA-ZX3 with a CAT-5 110 punchdown on the
keypad end and an RJ45 connection on the SA-ZX3 end.
All keypads sharing an SA-ZX3 control the same zone. If an
UNO-TS2 Touchscreen shares an SA-ZX3 with an UNO-S1 or
UNO-S2, the touchscreen must be configured for the same
zone.
