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 AT THE CONTROLLER CAi System keypads are wired with CAT-5 wire. It is inexpensive and color coded for ease of installation. Due to the qualities of CAT-5 wire, when using it for keypad control wire with the CAi-Series, it is recommended to use the following color code for maximum performance. NOTE: 250ft run of wire maximum per keypad is recommended. CAT-5 Brown/White Brown Green Orange/White Orange Green/White Blue/White Blue Type Ground IR Signal 12VDC+ Source Select Source Select Channel Select Volume Balance CLEAN INSTALLATIONS For clean installations, we recommend using RJ-45 jumpers to run from the CAi controller to an RJ-45 Wall Plate then running your keypads from the Wall Plate.

Also consider convenience when choosing a location. · Choose a place that is easily seen from the position where a person is most likely to be located. · Check whether or not you can route the wire to the location you have chosen. · Purchase retro-fit plastic junction boxes (min. 18 cubic inches) or p-rings and cut in the boxes using a key-hole saw or sheetrock knife/hand saw. · If you are installing the optional DSC keypad you will need to use a double-gang electrical box. If you are installing both the optional DSC and 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. · Route the wire to the junction box from the CAi location. · 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. · The CA-KP2 keypad has source labels for your convenience. 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. The CAi Keypads come with 110 punchdown terminals. These terminals are quick, easy to install and provide a strong connection. [. . . ] 14 ELIMINATION OF BALANCE LINE The following diagram shows how resistors may be used at the Keypad connection on the rear of the CAi master control unit, to provide 2. 5VDC to the balance control line for centering. 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. Position #7 is GND, #2 is 12VDC, #4 is Balance. [. . . ]
