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. Do not place the Multizone Controller above or below heat-generating components such as another audio amplifier. Be sure to leave at
least 2 inches of space to the sides of the chassis with open air flow above and below the unit. Before making any connections, ensure that all equipment
is powered off and unplugged to prevent the possibility of personal injury or equipment damage due to electrical shock.
INSTALLATION:
1. The Multizone Controller can be mounted in an equipment rack using the rack kit that is included with the Multizone Controller.
2. Always disconnect the AC power cord before making any connections to the Multizone Controller.
3. Use good quality 12-14 AWG 2 conductor stranded copper speaker wire for all speaker connections.
4. Use good quality cat5e or cat6 cable and RJ45 connectors for all Multizone Controller-KP (keypads).
5. The Multizone Controller includes a central keypad hub. All Multizone Controller-KP (keypads) will be home run back the hub. Keep the hub close the
Multizone Controller.
6. Wire all cat5e/cat6 cables exactly the same using TIA/EIA 568A wiring. Do not use crossover cables.
IMPORTANT: All Multizone Controller-KP keypads must have their mode dip switches set properly before powering the system on.
Set the three DIP switches on each Keypad Controller to one of the six identification patterns listed below. Each Keypad Controller connected to the same
Master Controller/Amplifier must have a unique identification. Note that the identification is localized to each Master Controller/Amplifier device. If multiple
Master Controllers are in use, each one will have its own set of keypads with the same identification numbers as keypads on another Master Controller.
SETTING THE KEYPAD MODE DIP SWITCHES AND KEYPAD WIRING:
Each Multizone Controller-KP shows a handy mode selection chart on the back of the keypad as follows:
Switch in the up position is ON. Switch in the down position is OFF.
IMPORTANT:
Use a screwdriver to install the keypad.
Using a power drill will damage the keypad.
