Layout Considerations

Plan where you will install the various components:

•Determine where the speakers in each zone will be located.

−Consider sound distribution

−If the speakers are to be installed in a wall, make sure they don’t share a stud cavity with speakers in other rooms.

•Determine the location in each room/zone for the keypad.

−Consider convenient access, both manually and with the remote.

−Avoid installing the keypad where direct sunlight will reach it. The infrared eye may not recognize the remote’s command if sunlight interferes.

•Determine where the Central Controller will be located.

−Make sure there is an electrical outlet nearby.

−Make sure there are no heating elements or other heat sources located near the Controller.

−Make sure there are no obstructions to wiring in the wall cavity.

•Determine where the zone line-level input/output wall plate will be located.

•Determine how wiring will be routed to each location.

−Make sure you avoid wiring for 120/240V, security, dimmers, etc.

−Plan so the length of wiring can be kept to a minimum.

System Wiring Considerations

•Use both CAT-5 and 16-gauge, 2-conductor wires for all runs from the Central Controller to the Zone Keypads.

•Use CAT-5 wires for the run from the Central Controller to the Door Station.

•Use 18-gauge, 2-conductor wire for all runs from the Zone Keypads to the speakers.

•When wiring the keypad, DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge, 2-conductor power wire that goes to the Central Controller with the 18-gauge, 2-conductor wires that go to the speakers. Crossing these wires will result in damage to the speakers and zone keypads.

•Keep all XDM4600 wiring away from 120/240V wires, security, dimmers, or other control wiring.
