Figure 10-Zone Keypad Wiring - M&S Systems XDM4600 Owner's Manual

• The CAT-5 wire for communication and the line-level in/out enter the electrical box on the right side, when you
are looking into the box. NOTE two cat 5 cables are needed when using the local wall source in that zone, one for
communication and one for the local line-level in/out.
• Label all wiring: Power, right speaker, left speaker, line-level in, and line-level out.
• Knot or fasten all wires in some manner to prevent them from slipping out through the back of the electrical box.
• DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge power wire with the 18-gauge speaker wire.
Finishing the Zone Keypads
Figure 10—Zone Keypad Wiring
Figure 10 shows the wiring hookups for the backside connectors of the Zone Keypad (XDM46K)
How to read the schematic:
1. The 16-gauge (power) and 18-gauge (for the speakers), 2-conductor wires attach to the 1x6 connector. The
wire that provides power from the controller attaches where indicated by the label on the connector – the solid
red indicates the position of the positive wire while the striped red indicates the position of the negative wire.
The position of the speaker +/- L and +/- R is indicated by the L+, L-, R+ and R- lettering on the label.
2. The 1x10 connector attaches to the two CAT-5 cables. On the label, a heavy black line separates the connection
of the two wires. Any unused wires are cut off. Refer to the connector label for the proper position of each
color-coded wire. From top to bottom, the color code is as follows: blue/white, blue, green, orange, brown and
brown/white. This group is for the CAT-5 cable that goes to the wall plate. The remaining color codes are
orange, orange/white, green, and green/white. This group is for the CAT-5 cable that carries the controller
communication data.
