Page 10: System Design Overview/Applications
Planning Before installing the DH46X, it is essential to have a detailed and accurate system design. The fi rst step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house fl... -
Page 11: Pre-Construction
Pre-Wiring DH46X to DHTP1 Touch Pads The DH46X 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 Touch Pad location. The Cat-5 routes all audio, power, IR and status information needed for full system operation. -
Page 12: Applications
Local sources are only available within the area that they are installed. They will not be avail- able to other areas of the house as they are not distributed by the DH44/DH46X. Run lengths of Cat-5 from any local (in-room) source to the touchpad located in that area. - Page 13 Sources in two of the zones. Each zone can have one local source. The system is comprised of a DH46X , DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touchpad Controllers, DHSIP Source Input Wall Plates and ATON Storm Series Speakers. This confi guration provides audio from each source into each zone as well as control of each source from each zone.
- Page 14 Local Sources in eight of the zones. Each zone can have one local source. The system is comprised of four DH46X , DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touchpad Controllers, DHSIP Source Input Wall Plates and ATON Storm Series Speakers. This confi guration provides audio from each source into each zone as well as control of each source from each zone.

Page 15: Connections
Source Loop Inputs (SOURCE LOOP IN) The Source Loop Inputs are used primarily when adding DH46X Routers to a DH44 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-wir- ing, splicing or specialized adapters needed. -
