6.2.1 ZC-Zone Controllers

ZONE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

The installation of the Zone Controllers MUST be accomplished with the use of cable which is rated VW-1 or higher. Common NEC designations which meet this rating include: CMP, CMR, CMG, CM and CMX.

The Zone Controllers offer additional utility to the DriveRack 260. They allow real-time adjustment of output levels, mutes and program changes from simple wall panel interfaces. On the 260, a maximum number of six Zone Controllers may be used and they may be nested, in other words, one controller may be used for a single zone and then another controller may be used for the entire venue or system. With a maximum distance of up to 1000 ft. on CAT5 cable with RJ-45 connectors, the Zone Controllers offer an easy to program and use remote control surface.
