[. . . ] - Make sure that the STATUS input on the A-BUS® Hub is not connected. · The recommended maximum length for use with standard CAT-5 cable is 250 feet. · Once all of the connections have been made, the A-PS power supply can be connected to the A-BUS® Hub or, if you are using an A-BUS® Ready receiver, the receiver may be turned on. · Make any Volume Trim adjustments on the A-KP2 before installing it into the wall. 5 VOLUME TRIM Two rotary trim potentiometers are located on the back of the A-KP2. [. . . ] Power Supply: The power supply plugs into the Hub. The Russound® A-PS 24VDC/2. 5A unit is an example. Model A-KP2 The A-KP2 is an in-wall, A-BUS® Amplified Keypad with push-buttons for speaker volume level and power On/Off source select as well as an IR window for receiving remote control signals. The AKP2 connects to A-BUS® Hubs or A-BUS® Ready receivers using CAT-5 wiring, and to loudspeakers using conventional speaker wire. IMPORTANT ­ Before installation, review the manuals included with each component in your system. If you are unsure of any of the installation procedures described herein or elsewhere, consult a professional electronics installer. 6 MOUNTING Check all connections and test the system's operation before installing the A-KP2 into the wall.

The A-KP2 will always reset to a low volume level when turned on. · If you have installed IR Emitters in your A-BUS® system, then sources can be operated with their own remote (or a "universal" remote) by aiming it at the IR window on the A-KP2. · When the A-KP2 receives infrared signals from a remote control, the LED indicator will flash red. · If your are using the STATUS feature in your A-BUS® system, the LED indicator on the A-KP2 will illuminate green when your source equipment is on, even when the A-KP2 is off. 1 CAT-5 CONNECTIONS A CAT-5 cable is used to connect the A-KP2 to a keypad output on an A-BUS® Hub or A-BUS® Ready receiver. For clean installations, use RJ45 CAT-5 patch cables to connect from the Hub to an RJ45 Wall Plate (optional), and then wire from the Wall Plate to the Amplified Control Module (see diagram). The Amplified Control Modules have 110 punchdown connectors for the 8 individual conductors of the CAT-5 cable (use a punchdown tool with a 110 blade to insert conductors). NOTE: When wiring directly to an Amplified Control Module (i. e. , not using an RJ45 Wall Plate) use T568A RJ45 wire configuration for connection to the hub.
