7.6 Connecting The Infrared Components

• In order for your CA4.4pi to transmit the IR signal from the keypads to a source, an emitter must be

connected from the IR outputs marked 1-4. Each of these outputs is wired in series and must be
connected in consecutive order.  For example, the #1 emitter output must be connected in order for
the #2 emitter output to transmit the IR command.

• Connect each 845.1 mini-emitter to the source IR output. Refer to the source number

you had written down in list 1.

• Remove the adhesive back and position the IR receiver on the product you wish to control. 

Stick the 845.1 emitter directly over the source components IR window. The CA4.4pi will 
direct the IR command to the source component you wish to control.

• Repeat connections until all emitters match the selected sources.

7.7 Connecting the IR Link

• When two CA4.4pi Controllers are to be used in an installation, the IR Link connection is used to pass IR signal between the two

units. Use a 1/8”, mono, phone plug, male-to-male cable connected from the IR Link on the first CA4.4pi Controller to the IR Link on
the second CA4.4pi. When connected, you may connect your IR emitters to either unit’s IR Remote Output jacks.

7.8 Keypad Connections

• Each keypad connection on the back panel corresponds to the room / zone number chosen for your speakers. Each zone operates

independently, so it is very important to connect the keypad to the correct zone keypad input. Remove the connector and strip 1/8"
off each end of the wire insulation. Connect each wire 1 thru 8 using a small jewelers screwdriver. At this point it is not important
what color wires connect where, however, take note of the color of each wire and number indicated on the connector when con-
nected to the back panel.

• Write down the room name to the zone number below. Note: the keypad and the speakers in each room must be hooked to the

same zone number. See List 3.

List 4 – Room names should be written below.
Zone 1 _______________ Zone 2 ______________ Zone 3 _______________ Zone 4 ______________

8. Standard Keypad Installation

The CA4.4pi Central Controller Amplifier is offered with standard keypads and 
LCD keypads. If you are installing a unit with LCD keypads skip to step 9.

8.1 Installing the KP Keypads

• The best performance is achieved with the keypad away from any direct sunlight. Also consider the convenience when choosing a

location.

• Choose a place that is easily seen from the position where a person is most likely to be located. 
• Check whether or not you can route the wire to the location you have chosen.
• Purchase retro-fit plastic junction boxes (min. 20 cubic inches) and cut 

in the boxes using a key-hole saw or sheetrock knife/hand saw.

• Route the wire to the junction box from the CA4.4pi location.
• Strip the insulation back 1/8" from each twisted wire. Connect each 

wire to the correct position 1 thru 8. Refer to List 5.

• If you feel uncomfortable cutting into your walls and running wire through

the walls, seek help from a professional installer or an electrician.

• Mount the keypad in the junction box and attach the Decora plate.
• The CA KP keypad has source labels for your convenience. Place the label

on the keypad keeping the input number in sequence with the source
selected.

• Repeat the above steps until all keypads are installed.
