Power - Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

Zone 1 _________________ Zone 2 _________________ Zone 3 _________________ Zone 4 _________________ WIRING RUNS UP TO 100 FEET For wiring runs of up to 100 feet in length, we recommend the use of CAT-5 wire. Due to the qualities of CAT-5 wire, when using it for keypad control wire with the CA-Series, it is recommended to use the following color code for maximum performance. CAT-5 Number Brown/White 1 Brown 2 Green 3 Orange/White 4 Orange 5 Green/White 6 Blue/White 7 Blue 8 Type Ground IR Signal 12VDC+ Source Select Source Select Channel Select Volume Balance WIRING RUNS FROM 100-200 FEET For wiring runs exceeding 100 feet and extending up to 200 feet, we recommend the use of 8-conductor 22 AWG stranded wire such as Russound MCW2418. If using 22 AWG wire, the order in which you wire is not important as long as you wire in the same order at both the CA unit as well as the keypad. Use List 5 (below) to write down the wire you use for each pin number. NOTE: Wiring runs longer than 200 feet are not recommended for the CA-Series Keypads.

If you are installing the CA-LCD, DSC and the optional DAN keypad you will need to install a triple-gang electrical box. · If you feel uncomfortable cutting into your walls and running wire through the walls, seek help from a professional installer or an electrician. · If using 22 AWG wire, connect each wire to the correct position 1 thru 8 using the included punchdown tool. · If using CAT-5 wire, connect each wire to its corresponding color labeled on the punchdown terminal. · Mount the keypad in the junction box and attach the Decora plate. Insert the label in the keypad keeping the input number in sequence with the source selected. · Repeat the above steps until all keypads are installed. 2 1 3 6 5 4 8 7 CH SEL +12V GND SEL3 SEL1 BAL IR The CA-KP. 2 and CA-LCD come with 110 punchdown terminals.

[. . . ] This circuit will stabilize the balance line input and keep it centered. They can be used to free up one of the 8 required conductors if one is open, shorted or if an extra conductor is needed for a secondary IR receiver's signal in that zone.

This signal is demodulated at the keypad and is re-modulated at the processor then sent to the emitter out-puts. [. . . ]
