Safety Information CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"... - Page 3 Caring For the D5XH Clean only with a dry soft cloth. It is important to properly care for your D5XH DDS Hub. Follow these guidelines to ensure your device is preserved and protected. • Do not expose the D5XH to rain, liquids or moisture for an extended period of time.
- Page 4 Simple, Logical Installation The D5RH and D5XH connect with CAT-5 and speaker wire, making them reliable and easy to install. Any digital or analog audio source can be connected directly to the D5XH Digital Audio Router, or remotely using a D5IP Local Source Wall Plate.

- Page 6 Front Panel The front panel of the D5XH is populated simply by a Power LED and a power button. Figure 1-2 and Table 1-1 provide descriptions and locations of Front Panel controls and indicators.
- Page 7 Rear Panel The Rear Panel of the D5XH has connections for Power, Source Loop Inputs (from D5RH), Source Loop Outputs (to additional D5XH chassis), Zone Outputs, IR Outputs, Auxiliary Power, USB and Expansion capabilities as well as Zone Pairing and Unit I.D. DIP Switches.
- Page 8 Planning Before installing the D5XH, it is essential to have a detailed and accurate system design. The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, keypad and equipment locations, etc.
- Page 9 Pre-Wiring D5XH to D5KP Keypads The D5XH and all associated components are wired using Cat-5 terminated to the T-568A Wiring Standard (Figure 2-2). When pre-wiring, run lengths of Cat-5 from the pre-determined equipment location (the “head-end”) to each Keypad location. The Cat-5 routes all audio, power, IR and status information needed for full system operation.
- Page 10 Local sources are only available within the area that they are installed. They will not be available to other areas of the house as they are not distributed by the D5RH/D5XH. Run lengths of Cat-5 from any local (in-room) source to the keypad located in that area.
- Page 11 Sources in two of the zones. Each zone can have one local source. The system is comprised of a D5XH, D5KP Amplified Keypad Controllers, D5IP Source Input Wall Plates and Xantech XTC Series Speakers. This configuration provides audio from each source into each zone as well as control of each source from each zone.
- Page 12 Local Sources in eight of the zones. Each zone can have one local source. The system is comprised of four D5XH , D5KP Amplified Keypad Controllers, D5IP Source Input Wall Plates and Xantech XTC Series Speakers. This configuration provides audio from each source into each zone as well as control of each source from each zone.
- Page 13 Source Loop Inputs (SOURCE LOOP IN) The Source Loop Inputs are used primarily when adding D5XH Routers to a D5RH in order to create more than four zones. These connectors carry Audio, and IR information between the units and allow seamless functionality in all areas of the home with no complicated cross-wiring, splicing or specialized adapters needed.
- Page 14 EXPANSION IN Connect the Cat-5 Patch Cable included with the D5XH from the D5RH’s EXPANSION OUT port to the D5XH’s EXPANSION IN port as shown. Complete connections for expanded systems are described in the section entitled Multi-Chassis Connections. ZONE OUT The ZONE OUT RJ-45 connectors interface with D5KP Amplified Keypad Controllers through Cat-5 cables wired to the T-568A Standard.

For wire runs over 150', use the AUX POWER OUT connectors as described in the section entitled Auxiliary Power Connector (AUX POWER OUT).
- Page 16 D5KP Speaker Connections The D5XH sends a digital audio signal to connected D5KP Keypads where it is amplified and sent to speakers. WARNING!: The D5KP’s amplifier is capable of powering a single pair of 8-6 Ohm speakers. DO NOT connect speakers with a rating of less than 6 Ohms! DO NOT connect more than one speaker to either speaker connector of the D5KP.

- Page 19 NOTE: Be sure the RCA/OPT/COAX switch is ‘middle’ and set to ‘OPT’. NOTE: Multi-channel digital audio formats (5.1, 7.1 etc.) are not supported by the D5IP, D5RH, or D5XH. However, many audio/video sources allow you to change the digital output to PCM Stereo. In most cases this will allow multi-channel audio sources to output a “summed”...

For sources that have an IR Input port on the back of the unit, use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono interconnect cable (Xantech P/N: 06017400 1-Foot Mono Cable) instead (see Figure 3-12).
- Page 22 Adding Zones to a D5RH Digital Audio Router A basic D5RH system can contain a maximum of four sources and four zones. By adding D5XH Digital Audio Routers, the system can contain a maximum of twenty-eight zones. Each D5XH expands the system by up to six zones, while still maintaining a four source maximum limit. This section details connections required for adding D5XH Digital Audio Routers to a D5RH.
- Page 23 Simply connect a Cat-5 patch cable from the D5RH’s EXPANSION OUT port to the first D5XH’s EXPANSION IN port. For multiple D5XH units, connect a Cat-5 patch cable from the first D5XH’s EXPANSION OUT port to the next D5XH’s EXPANSION IN port, and so on. See Figure 3-14 for details.
- Page 24 Figure 3-16 shows a D5XH stand-alone system with four sources and six zones with the addition of a local source in Zone 6. Each zone can have one local source. The system is comprised of a D5XH, D5KP Amplified Keypads Controllers, D5IP Source Input Wall Plates and Xantech XTC Series Speakers.
- Page 25 Adding Zones with additional D5XH Digital Audio Routers A basic Stand Alone (No D5RH) D5XH system can contain a maximum of four sources and six zones. By connecting additional D5XH Digital Audio Expansion Routers, the system can contain a maximum of twenty four zones. Each D5XH expands the system by up to six zones, while still maintaining a four source maximum limit.
- Page 26 Simply connect a Cat-5 patch cable from the D5XH’s EXPANSION OUT port to the first D5XH’s EXPANSION IN port. For multiple D5XH units, connect a Cat-5 patch cable from the first D5XH’s EXPANSION OUT port to the next D5XH’s EXPANSION IN port, and so on. See Figure 3-18 for details.

Page 27: Settings & Operation
Figure 3-19: D5XH ZONE OUT Connections 4. Settings & Operation DIP Switch Settings There are two groups of DIP switches on the rear panel of the D5XH that must be set prior to operation: • UNIT ID • KEYPAD PAIRING UNIT ID Each D5XH chassis has a corresponding DIP switch setting relative to the other chassis. - Page 28 UP position. This feature is useful to create large “party” zones where combined areas of the house share audio and system control. Operation Once the D5RH/D5XH is connected, all functionality is controlled by the D5KP Amplified Keypads that are installed in each zone. Essentially a D5KP controls: • Source Selection •...

Page 29: Appendix A: Specifications
Source control functionality is performed by IR Remote Control through the D5KP’s built-in IR Receiver or an additional IR receiver connected to the Local IR Receiver Input on the back of the D5KP. Complete instructions for installing and operating the Keypads are available in the D5KP Amplified Keypads Controller Installation Manual. -
