Location Considerations
Do not place anything on top of the Central Controller that will interfere with the airflow out of the
vents.
Do not place the Central Controller near any strong heat source such as a heating vent or a heating
element.
Place the Central Controller as close as possible to the audio components. Make sure the audio
components can easily be connected to the back of the Central Controller.
Place the Central Controller within six feet of a household power outlet.
Rough-In Considerations
Keep all Central Controller wiring away from 120/240V wires, security, dimmers, and other control
wiring.
Allow enough length on all wires to reach a Central Controller located ten feet away from the wall
port.
Label all CAT-5 wiring: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, and Door Station.
DO NOT confuse the Zone CAT-5 wires with the Door Station CAT-5 wires.
Knot or fasten all wires in some manner to prevent them from slipping out through the back of the
electrical box located at the wall port.
Wiring Considerations
See Figure 6 for a detailed illustration of the back of the Central Controller.
Attach the 16-gauge, 2-conductor power wiring to the removable power connector as indicated on
the connector label and as shown in the wiring connection detail.
Attach the CAT-5 wires to the removable zone connectors as indicated on the connector label and
as shown in the wiring connection detail.
Attach the CAT-5 wires to the removable Door Station connector as indicated on the connector
label and as shown in the wiring connection detail.
DO NOT confuse the Zone CAT-5 wires with the Door Station CAT-5 wires.
Installing the Audio Sources and IR Emitters
IR commands are transferred from the Central Controller to the source equipment via mini IR Emitters.
Six of these are supplied with your system. You can purchase an additional package of six separately.
