R. TRANSMITTER Installation & Operation Manual Operating Instructions begin on Page 23 1 this manual MULTI-ROOM CAUTION SYSTEM CONTROLLER RMZ-955 so you can refer to these safety instructions. Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the RMZ-955 . Keep Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. Clean the RMZ-955 only with a dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner. [. . . ] As does the RSM-901, each RKP-901 has two data terminals ("In" and "Out") located at the bottom of its circuit board. Connect the "Out" terminal, either to the "In" terminal of an RSM-901 in the zone, or to the RMZ-955 controller if the zone does not have a RSM-901.

OUTPUT DATA CONNECTOR Connect to RSM-901 Input or to RMZ-955 if used without RSM-901 17 MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM CONTROLLER RMZ-955 Zone Connection Strategies Each zone will support up to three RSM-901s and three RKP-901s. All of the command devices for one zone should connect to each other in serial fashion using their appropriate circuit board-mounted "In" and "Out" terminals. Each RSM-901 signals when it receives and processes a command. This happens regardless of whether the command was generated by a keypad or a hand held remote. However, a keypad located "downstream" of a sensor/display will not trigger that sensor's command processing indicator. Whenever possible, we suggest that you configure each zone so that all keypads are "upstream" from all sensor/displays. Although not always practical depending on the zone configuration, this arrangement will reduce user confusion. Regardless of other considerations, we suggest that you always wire an RSM/RKP double wall box so that the RSM is located "downstream" from adjacent RKP (i. e. , between the RKP and the RMZ-955 controller/amplifier). This assures that the sensor/display always signals the user when the adjacent keypad is used. Installation is the first step towards enjoying an RMZ-955 system. Proper set-up ensures that the RMZ-955 will function optimally with all associated source components and provide total system control. 18 Installation: Multi-controller Systems Each RMZ-955 provides independently controlled audio distribution from four sources to four separate zones. To satisfy the requirements of more elaborate systems, up to four RMZ-955s can be cascaded to build a system with as many as 16 independent zones. Under these circumstances, all RMZ-955 controller/amplifiers share one set of four source components. When system complexity calls for more than one RMZ-955, we have no cautions about stacking controller/amplifiers on top of each other. As long as there is sufficient room to allow relatively unrestricted air flow, heat should not be a problem. In most respects, installing a multi-controller system is no different than a single controller system. Source input connections, speaker output connections, data cable connections to the remote zones, and other configuration steps are essentially the same. Review Installation: RMZ-955 Controller (page 5) for complete information. There are, however, some additional considerations and installation steps required for a system with multiple RMZ-955 controllers. These steps all deal with the need to link the controllers: a) AC connections for fully-integrated system control b) Sharing four sources among all controllers c) Passing IR commands from one controller to the rest d) Linking special features like system-wide paging All hookup instructions in this section assume that Zones 1-4 will be handled by the first RMZ-955 (called "A"), Zones 5-8 by the RMZ-955 immediately above it ("B"), Zones 9-12 by third unit ("C"), and Zones 13-16 by the top unit ("D"). In most cases, we do not illustrate all four controllers, as additional controllers are merely added in the same fashion as the second or third controller. [. . . ] If a Paging signal is received, the display will ramp down to zero and show a "(())" message during the page. If the Zone is muted, the Paging indicator will show immediately. If the Zone is in standby, the Paging indicator will be preceded by the turn-on greeting. MODE PM HOUR ALARM MIN ALARM OFF ALARM ON b) Setting Alarm Time: The display will show the last alarm time set. Use the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to advance to the desired Alarm time. [. . . ]
