GRE-2 Genesis Room Expander Connections
The Genesis Room Expander (GRE-2) offers independent room on/off control for two rooms,
each with their own keypad, that are connect to a single room's output on the back of the
Genesis. The use of the device is quite simple.
Connect a four conductor speaker cable and eight wires of the 12 conductor (recommended)
control cable directly to the GRE-2's inputs. Connect each rooms speaker cable to the GRE-
2 and each room's home run control cable to the GRE-2. That is all that is required.
When one of the two rooms selects a source, only its speakers turn on. The second room will
remain completely off. Furthermore, these two rooms cannot be turned on from the front of the
Genesis. If front panel control of remote rooms is essential for a particular room in the home,
do not put that room on a GRE-2. However, for areas such as bedrooms and outdoor areas,
where turning these rooms on inadvertently might be problem, the GRE-2 offers a unique
function as it will defeat the front panel control for that room.
Please note, the Genesis provides the power to the GRE-2. As such, too many GRE-2's (or
ZS-3s, they use the same power) will cause the Genesis to malfunction. ADA suggests using
no more than six of these devices on any single Genesis. You could for example use two GRE-
2s and four ZS-3s or six GRE-2s or four GRE-2s and two ZS-3s, etc.
