RS-232 Interface

The CAV6.6 supports RS-232 communication with various third party automation systems or PC for
programming of the controller. Select the appropriate RS-232 port to update CAV6.6 OS software
(see Component Guides-Front Panel).The two RS-232 com ports are located on the front and the
back of the CAV6.6 and use a DB-9 cable connection. For RS-232 protocol and the backup PC appli-
cation, see the Document Center at www.russound.com. Look for the Technical Documents under

Before proceeding to the system programming section, it's important to conduct an initial test to
determine that the hardware components are working properly.
1. Connect the speaker wires from Zone #1 to the CAV6.6 Zone #1 speaker output connectors.
2. Connect an UNO-S2 keypad to Keypad Port #1 on the rear of the CAV6.6.
3. Connect a source to the Source #1 Input on the CAV6.6 using RCA A/V patch cables.
4. Plug a supplied 845.1 IR emitter into the Source #1 IR Output Jack and adhere the emitter end
to the source equipment's IR window.
5. Plug in the main power cords for the CAV6.6 and the source.
6. Turn on the main power switch on the CAV6.6 and the source.
7. Manually command the source to provide audio or use the source remote control.
8. Press the power button on the UNO-S2 keypad and select Source #1.
Congratulations – you should now hear the source through the speakers in Zone #1. Now that you
have confirmed the hardware operation, you can proceed to System Programming to set up keypad
source control.
If there is no sound, follow these diagnostic steps:
1. Check the source to see that it is operating properly.
2. Check the RCA A/V cable connections from the source to the Source #1 Input on the CAV6.6.
3. Check the speaker connections and verify that they are correct and are connected to the
Zone #1 speaker outputs.
4. Check to see that the keypad is connected to the Zone #1 Keypad Port and verify the CAT-5 is
properly terminated at both ends.
If none of these steps produce successful results, call Russound Tech Support for further assistance.
