PCK(IR) KEYPADS

Each of the PR-4Zi’s zones can be remotely operated by a keypad or IR device. There are four keypad ports on the rear panel. Each port accommodates as many as four Russound PCK(IR) keypads (4 per zone). Wire the PCK(IR) keypads to the PR-4Zi keypad input as shown below in Figure 10 using 22-24 AWG shielded 2 twisted pair wire.

IR DEVICES

The keypad ports are also compatible with infrared devices such as Russound 858, 1257, 1258, and 844 IR receivers.

Wire IR devices as shown in Figure 11 using 22- 24 AWG 1 pair twisted wire with shield.
