Proper installation techniques will guarantee that the keypads will work properly up to 600 feet from the controller/amplifier. The use of terminal blocks on the keypads and keypad hub ultimately reduces the frustration associated with terminating UTP cable with RJ45 plugs.
- Page 9 AC wires at least 10 inches apart. If you must cross AC wires, always cross at a 90 degree angle. The DAX66 amplifiers are capable of driving 4 ~ 8 ohm speaker loads in stereo mode, and 8 ohm loads in bridge mode. Never connect more than two 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel to a single amplifier channel in stereo mode.
