MULTIZONE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: The Multizone Controller should be situated in a well-ventilated location or position. Do not block the vents on the sides or top of the chassis. Proper ventilation is required for normal operation. Do not expose the unit to excessive dust and do not allow dust to build up on the unit and block the vent holes in the chassis. - Page 8 MULTIZONE CONTROLLER-KP (KEYPAD) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: The Multizone Controller-KP (keypad) should be mounted in an electrical box or in-wall mud ring using a screwdriver to tighten. Do not use a power drill to tighten the keypad screws. Over tightening will damage the keypad. INSTALLATION: Connecting the Multizone Controller-KP (keypads) Use a good quality Cat5e/6 cable and crimp RJ45 jacks on each end of the cables.
- Page 9 INSTALLATION — SPEAKERS INSTALLATION — Speakers Use good quality 12-14 AWG stranded copper speaker wire. Most jurisdictions require the use of CL2 rated in-wall speaker wire, refer to your local building code enforcement office for the proper cable type for your installation. If speaker wires must be run parallel to AC wires, keep the speaker wires and AC wires at least 10 inches apart.
- Page 10 INSTALLATION — SPEAKERS INSTALLATION: Connecting 8 ohm speakers to the system in BRIDGE MODE In BRIDGE mode the amplifier LEFT and RIGHT outputs are combined into one large MONO amplifier, thus doubling the output power to 50 watts with a minimum speaker load of 8 ohms. Remove approximately 5 inches from the cable jacket, strip 1/4"...
- Page 11 INSTALLATION — PRE-AMP OUTPUTS Using the distributed audio system PRE-AMP OUTPUTS The system provides six stereo, unbalanced, line level PRE-AMP outputs, which correspond to the six-zone outputs. The PRE-AMP outputs can be used to connect powered subwoofers to a zone or additional amplifiers to expand the available power in a large zone or multiple zones.
- Page 12 INSTALLATION — CONNECTING SOURCES Connecting Source Components to the distributed audio system The system provides six source inputs that can be accessed by any zone. Inputs 1 ~ 4 are stereo, unbalanced, line level source inputs via RCA style female connectors. Input 5 provides a connection for a personal audio device or PC sound card via the 3.5mm stereo jack.
- Page 13 INSTALLATION — 12V TRIGGERS Using the distributed audio system 12VDC Trigger Inputs and Outputs The unit provides six 12Vdc trigger outputs which correspond to the six zones. When a zone is powered ON by the keypad, the corresponding zone sends 12Vdc to the trigger output jack. When the zone is powered OFF, 12Vdc is disconnected from the trigger output.
- Page 14 INSTALLATION — EXPANSION Expanding the distributed audio system to 18 zones The distributed audio system can be expanded to 12 zones with one additional system and to 18 zones with two additional systems. Stack three systems, one on top of another. Connect the included 18-pin ribbon cable to the EXPANSION OUTPUT terminal of the bottom unit and the other end of the ribbon cable to the EXPANSION INPUT terminal of the second and then third unit.
- Page 15 INSTALLATION — RS-232 CONTROL RS-232 Serial Port Control The distributed audio system provides an RS-232 serial port for connection to and control by automation systems. The DB-9 connector on the back of the unit supports bi-directional RS-232 communication for third party automation systems. An automation system can control all keypad and remote control functions for up to 18 zones (3 master controller units), linked together using the included 18 pin expansion cable.
