Russound CA-Series instruction manual Keypad Connections AT Controller, Wiring Runs UP to 100 Feet

KEYPAD CONNECTIONS AT CONTROLLER

•Each keypad connection on the back panel of the CA-Series Master Controller corresponds to the room / zone number chosen for your speakers. Each zone operates independently, so it is very important to connect the keypad to the correct zone keypad input.

•On List 4 (opposite) copy down the room name to the zone number from List 3 on pg 6. NOTE: the keypad and the speakers in each room must be hooked to the corresponding numbered zone.

•Remove the connector and strip 1/8" off each end of the wire insula- tion. Connect each wire 1 thru 8 using a small jewelers screwdriver.

List 4 – Room names should be written below.

WIRING RUNS UP TO 100 FEET WIRING RUNS FROM 100-200 FEET

For wiring runs of up to 100 feet in length, we recommend the use of 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 CA-Series, it is rec- ommended to use the following color code for maximum performance.

CAT-5	Number		Type
Brown/White		1	Ground
Brown		2	IR Signal
Green		3	12VDC+
Orange/White		4	Source Select
Orange		5	Source Select
Green/White		6	Channel Select
Blue/White		7	Volume
Blue		8	Balance

For wiring runs exceeding 100 feet and extending up to 200 feet, we recommend the use of 8-conductor 22 AWG strand- ed wire such as Russound MCW2418.

If using 22 AWG wire, the order in which you wire is not important as long as you wire in the same order at both the CA unit as well as the keypad. Use List 5 (below) to write down the wire you use for each pin number.

NOTE: Wiring runs longer than 200 feet are not recommend- ed for the CA-Series Keypads.
