Wiring

Route CAT-5e cable between the keypad locations and the controller.
Terminate all CAT-5e cables with an RJ-45 connector using the T568A wiring
standard configuration. Utilize a UL/CSA approved electrical box at the keypad
(double-gang at least 32 cu. in.) and controller locations. Using connector
specific wall plates at the controller location will better organize all of the
incoming cables. Route CAT-5e wire from the electrical box to each keypad
location. Label the wires at both ends with the zone and location.
Route standard 4 conductor speaker wire to each speaker location. Each
speaker connection requires a 4-8 ohm load and will provide 40 watts per
channel. Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded speaker wire can be run up
to 125 feet; 14-gauge wire can be run up to 250 feet.

Rack Mount Installation

To attach the rack ears, locate the five rack mount holes on each side of the
controller's chassis. Align the holes in the rack ears with the holes in the chassis.
Insert and tighten the screws.
