CONNECT THE KEYPADS
Each keypad controls a specifi c zone (except TS-Pro). The RJ-45 terminated
CAT-5 cable that runs to each keypad is connected to the ZR-6 MultiZone
Receiver’s keypad ports labeled: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 5
and Zone 6. The zone port to which each keypad connects defi nes the zone
controlled by that keypad and the default zone for TS-Pro. For example: the
keypad connected to Zone 1 will always control Zone 1. All RJ-45 terminated
CAT-5 cables utilize the T568A wiring convention
(Figure 14).
CONNECT THE SLAVE ZR-6 MULTIZONE RECEIVER
Multiple ZR-6 MultiZone Receivers can be combined to create up to an
eighteen-zone system. The Expansion ports serially connect the multiple ZR-6
MultiZone Receivers with RJ-45 terminated CAT-5 cables using the T568A
wiring convention. One receiver must be designated as the Master, the others
as Slave(s). If more than one Slave is used, please note that the expansion out
of Slave 2 connects to the expansion in of Slave 1. The expansion out of Slave
1 then connects to the expansion in of the Master. Do not connect more than
one Slave directly to a Master. All MicroFlashers for source control must be
connected to the Master and not to the Slave, IR from the keypads connected
to the Slave will be routed to the Master via the expansion ports.
CONNECT THE AM AND FM ANTENNAS
FM DIPOLE ANTENNA
The included FM dipole antenna connects to the female 75-ohm
coaxial connector. The antenna is then positioned and mounted
for best reception. An antenna must be connected to each ZR-6
MultiZone Receiver chassis in Master/Slave confi gurations.
AM LOOP ANTENNA
The included AM loop antenna connects with its bare-wire ends
to the spring-loaded terminals. The antenna is then positioned and
mounted for best reception. An antenna must be connected to each
ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver chassis in Master/Slave confi gurations.
CONNECT THE 12V OUTPUTS
The Global 12V output triggers an external device whenever any zone is active. The Zone 4, 5 and 6 12V outputs trigger an external device
whenever the respective zone becomes active. A common use would be to turn on a 12V trigger-equipped Niles Systems Integration
Amplifi er connected to the pre-amplifi er outputs. The 12V outputs can also be used to trigger a Niles AC-3 Voltage-Triggered AC Power
Strip (FG00242) to automate power turn-on and turn-off of connected sources.
