[. . . ] Label each cable with the name of the selected source and the Source Audio input number located on the CAS44. Common IR Connections The Common IR jacks on the rear of the CAS44 allows control of the source equipment with IR signals received through the keypad. The connection for the COM IR jack is made using an IR emitter with a 1/8'' plug. Two Russound 1584. 1 dual IR emitter are provided, or use an IR connecting block such as Russsound 857 which allows multiple units to be controlled through the Common IR Port.

Using quality RCA signal cables, connect the Left and Right Audio outputs from each RNET source to the corresponding inputs on the CAS44 controller. Label each cable with the name of the selected source and the Source Audio input number located on the CAS44. Common IR Connections The CAS44 uses two Common IR jacks to allow control of the source equipment with IR signals received through the keypad. The connection for the Common IR Out jack is made using an IR link cable with a 1/8'' plug. An IR Link Cable (Russound P/N 09-0508) is used to connect the IR In of the source to the Common IR Out jack on the CAS44. The ST2S Tuner can be controlled by infrared commands received through either of the two IR connections on the rear panel. These components can be controlled through the keypads with the CASRC remote control, or with the source remotes (ST2-RC, SMS3-RC). When used with the KPL keypad, there will be no RNET source information sent to the keypad display.

Each of these colorcoded connectors is designated for the speaker set of a particular amplified zone. To avoid confusion, connect one zone speaker set at a time starting with Zone 1, taking care to keep zone and speaker wire identities straight. Note: An 8 Ohm minimum speaker is required for each amplified output. Pull the speaker wire conductors apart so they're separated for the first two inches from their ends. Using a wire stripper, remove 1/4 inch of insulation from each conductor. Twist the strands in each conductor into tight spirals. Remove the modular four-color connector for Zone 1. The color code is as follows: WHITE -- L+ (left channel positive) GREEN -- L- (left channel negative) BLACK -- R- (right channel negative) RED -- R+ (right channel positive) Lift the black lever for each connection until it locks open and insert the proper speaker wire, matching channel and polarity for all four wires. Insert the modular connector into its designated output on the back of the CAS44. Complete the same steps for the remaining zones. [. . . ] When finished, press and release the Setup button again. KPL Diagnostics Menu The Diagnostics Menu allows the installer to run a diagnostic check on the keypad and to verify the firmware version of the keypad. To access the Diagnostics Menu, press and hold the Setup button on the right side of the keypad until "Diags" appears on the display. The menus are outlined in the diagram at right. [. . . ]
