The D5XH is part of an integrated system that requires the use of other components. Depending on the system design, these components may include:

•D5KP Amplified Keypad - at least one per zone required

•D5IP Source Input Wall Plates - one per zone where a Local Source is desired

•D5RH Hub – Main 4x4 Digital Distribution System Hub

•Xantech Outdoor, Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers

•Xantech IR Emitters and accessories

This section describes the connectivity between these various components and the source audio components that comprise the system. Each D5RH/D5XH system is unique, and not all connections will be made in every installation.

Important Safety Note: Make sure that the D5XH is powered OFF before making any connections.

Source Loop Inputs (SOURCE LOOP IN)

The Source Loop Inputs are used primarily when adding D5XH Routers to a D5RH in order to create more than four zones. These connectors carry Audio, and IR information between the units and allow seamless functionality in all areas of the home with no complicated cross-wiring, splicing or specialized adapters needed. When adding a D5XH Router to a D5RH system, simply connect Cat-5 Patch Cables (included with the D5XH) from the SOURCE LOOP OUTs of the D5RH to the SOURCE LOOP INs of the D5XH as shown in Figure 3-1. Complete connections for expanded systems are described in the section entitled Multi-Chassis Connections.
