• Connect each 845 mini-emitter to the source IR output. Refer to the source
number you had written down in figure 1.
• Remove the adhesive back and locate the IR receiver on the product you wish to
control. Stick the 845 emitter directly over the source components IR
window. The CA4.4pi will direct the IR command to the source
component you wish to control.
• Repeat connections until all emitters match the selected sources.

7.7 Connecting the IR Link

• When two CA4.4pi Controllers are to be used in an installation, the IR Link connection is used to pass IR sig-
nal between the two units. Use a 1/8", mono, phone plug, male to male cable connected from the IR Link on
the first CA4.4pi Controller to the IR Link on the second CA4.4pi. When connected, you may connect your IR
emitters to either unit's IR Remote Output jacks.

7.8 Keypad Connections

• Each keypad connection on the back panel corresponds to the room / zone number chosen for your speakers.
Each zone operates independently, so it is very important to connect the keypad to the correct zone keypad
input. Remove the connector and strip 1/8" off each end of the wire insulation. Connect each wire 1 thru 8
using a small jewelers screwdriver. At this point it is not important what color wires connect where, however,
take note of the color of each wire and number indicated on the connector when connected to the back panel.
• Write down the room name to the zone number below. Note: the keypad and the speakers in each room
must be hooked to the same zone number. See figures 2 and 3

8. Keypad Installation

8.1 Installing the KP Keypads

• The best performance is achieved with the keypad away from any direct sunlight.
Also consider the convenience when choosing a location.
• Choose a place that is easily seen from the position where a person is most likely to be located.
• Check whether or not you can route the wire to the location you have chosen.
• Purchase retro-fit plastic junction boxes (min. 20 cubic inches) and cut in the boxes using a key-hole saw or
sheetrock knife/hand saw.
• Route the wire to the junction box from the CA4.4pi location.
• Strip the insulation back 1/8" from each twisted wire. Connect each wire to the correct position 1 thru 8. Refer
to figure 4.
• If you feel uncomfortable cutting into your walls and running wire through the walls, seek help from a profes-
sional installer or an electrician.
• Mount the keypad in the junction box and attach the Decora plate.
• The CA4.4 KP keypad has source labels for your convenience. Place the label on the keypad keeping the
input number in sequence with the source selected.
• Repeat the above steps until all keypads are installed.
