Linking Two CAS44 Controllers

Linking Two Controllers

Two CAS44 controllers can be linked together for a system that supports eight zones and four sources. This setup requires two dual emitters, one IR link cable and eight keypads (KP4 or KPL).

Establish four zones for the first controller and four zones for the second controller (keypads and speakers).

Connect the audio from the sources (up to four) to the two controllers. The audio must be split using RCA “Y” adapters or line level distribution amplifiers to connect to both controllers.

Connect one end of the IR link cable to the first controller’s Common IR Out jack and the cable’s other end to the second controller’s Common IR Out jack.

Connect a dual emitter to each of the remaining Common IR Out jacks on both controllers. Affix these emitters to the sources.

Refer to the diagram at right for connections.
