INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Electrical Power
The XStream™ X5 operates at 100-120VAC ~60 Hz or 220-240VAC ~50 Hz.
Voltage is selected automatically by the power supply and the appropriate
detachable power cord. It is recommended that the XStream™ X5 and the
source equipment be plugged into a dedicated 15-amp circuit. The power
switch for the unit is on the rear panel as shown.
Important Considerations
• Disconnect the power cord before making any connections to the
controller.
• Verify that all connections and polarity are correct.
• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from
induced noise.
• Choose reliable signal cables and patch cords.
• Label all wires with the room location at both ends of the wire.
• Avoid running speaker wires or signal cables close to house electrical
wiring for any distance. If you have to run them parallel, make sure to space
the wires at least two feet from the AC line. If you need to cross an AC line it
should be at a 90° angle.
Do not connect the controller's main power feed until all other
connections have been made and verifi ed. Live connection or
removal of the keypad wiring or other wiring when the system
is powered can cause communication problems in the network.
Double-check terminations during each phase of the installation
to prevent accidental damage. Incorrect wiring is the number one
cause for non-warranty product damage.
