GENERAL
The EXP9 is a Nine Zone Expansion unit designed to work exclusively with the ZPR68-10 Six Zone Eight
Source Remote Preamp. When connected to the ZPR68-10, it allows expansion up to a total of 15 zones.
• The features, functions and performance of the zones on the EXP9 are identical in every way to those of
the ZPR68-10.
• The EXP9 is available with one to nine "XCARDs" (zone expansion PCB's) pre-loaded and tested at the
factory, or, individual XCARDs may be purchased for in-field expansion.
• When received from the factory, unused zone openings are covered from underneath with individual cover
plates. These are removed, as needed, when additional zone XCARDs are installed in the field.
• CAUTION: The EXP9 cannot operate by itself. It
must be connected to a ZPR68-10. Also, it will not
operate with the original ZPR68 (older version).
• The EXP9 connects to the ZPR68-10 via two multiconductor ribbon cables (included). One is a 26-
conductor cable, the other 50.
• As with the ZPR68-10, the EXP9 uses a multi-voltage high-current AC power supply (included).
• Control of all zones is also possible via the COM PORT (RS232 data signal compatible) on the connected
ZPR68-10.
• As with the ZPR68-10, the EXP9 operates with IR commands from the Xantech RC68 IR Remote/
Programmer (available separately). As received from the factory, each zone (as well as the XCARDs)
is set to IR Code Group number 68.
