Setting up the Keypad
28
US
You must install at least one Keypad and a pair of
speakers in each zone. In the zones where both audio and
video will be installed, you must install at least one TV
monitor.
Requirements for these hookups are as follows.
• A CAT5 cable has been installed for each zone's Keypad.
• Two pairs of 12 to 18 AWG speaker cords for each pair of
speakers.
• An RCA video cable for a TV monitor from each zone to
the Main Unit location.
TV monitor hookup
Hook up the video input of the TV monitor in each zone
and the VIDEO OUT of each ZONE connection jack of the
Main Unit.
Use an RCA video cable.
Speakers hookup
1
Hook up the speaker cords from the SPEAKERS jack
of each ZONE connection jack of the Main Unit to
the FROM AMPLIFIER jack of the Keypad in each
zone.
2
Hook up the speaker cords from the TO SPEAKERS
jack of the Keypad to the speaker terminals in each
zone.
Notes
• Use speakers which have a combined impedance of
between 4 and 16 Ohms loaded.
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
2/3 inch (10 mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord
to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to
+ and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will
be distorted and will lack bass.
• 14 AWG speaker cords are recommended for
speaker runs up to 150 feet (45 m). The 4-terminal
connectors accept speaker cords sizes up to 12 AWG,
maximum.
• If you use speakers with a low maximum input
rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid
excessive output on the speakers.
• All speaker hook-up should be done with the Main
Unit in AC unplugged condition.
• After the lead ends are inserted and the screws are
tightened down, be sure there are no free stands that
could cause shorting.
• Muting is controlled by using a switch inside the
Keypad. Hook up speakers via a Keypad to let the
muting function available.
Hooking up in Each Zone
CAT5 cable hookup
1
Set the MODE switch to MAIN on the rear panel of
the Keypad.
2
Hook up the CAT5 cable from the KEYPAD jack of
each ZONE connection jack of the Main Unit to the
IN jack of the Keypad in each zone.
To install two Keypads in the same zone
You can install two Keypads in a single room.
1
Set the MODE switch to SUB on the rear panel of
the subsidiary Keypad.
2
Hook up the CAT5 straight cable from the OUT jack
of the Keypad for which the MODE switch is set to
MAIN, to the IN jack of the subsidiary Keypad.
Notes
• Note that the length of CAT5 cables for each connection is
limited. See the figure below for the maximum length of CAT5
cables.
• When installing two Keypads, muting is available only on the
Keypad to which the speaker cords are hooked up.
IR emitter hookup
When you want to use the IR Remote Control for the
Keypad without pointing it at the IR sensor of the
Keypad, plug an IR emitter (not supplied) into the IR IN
jack of the Keypad. Use an IR emitter with a power
supply.
