KEYPAD INSTALLATION

The ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver Kit comes with four weather-resistant, wall-mount Keypads, one for each zone. A zone is an area or room of the house where music is desired, such as a living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc. Each zone is independent and can play any connected music source with its own volume and tone adjustments. Up to two keypads can be installed in each zone (requires ZR-KE Keypad Expander and an additional Solo-4 IR Keypad, both sold separately).

The SOLO-4 IR Keypad must be installed in an outlet box listed in accordance with the NEC.
