•DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge power wire with the 18-gauge speaker wires. Crossing these wires will result in damage to the speakers and zone keypads.

•Insert the Zone Keypad into the rough-in box. Make sure that none of the cables are pinched and all are clear of the box.

•Screw the Zone Keypad into place using the 4 screws included with each unit.

•Snap the faceplate into place. The faceplates are interchangeable and they snap on and off easily.

Installing the Speakers

Allowable Speaker Configuration

•Use 8-ohm speakers only.

•Do not connect more than one pair of 8-ohm speakers to each Zone Keypad.

•Do not daisy-chain speakers. Each zone is designed to drive only one pair of 8-ohm speakers at the same time.

•DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge power wire with the 18-gauge speaker wires. Crossing these wires will result in damage to the speakers and zone keypads.

Location Considerations

•Do not install speakers in outside walls.

•Do not install speakers in stud cavities that contain 120/240V appliance wiring, or within 18 inches of dimmers, security wiring, and other control wiring.

•Do not place speakers in air return cavities or in walls that contain plumbing.

•Place in-wall speakers six to eight feet apart, but no closer than two feet to any adjacent wall or ceiling.

•Do not place in-wall speakers in the same stud space as in-wall speakers for other zones.

•Ceiling speakers should be spaced six feet apart for eight-foot ceilings and eight feet apart for ten- foot or greater ceilings. Place them no closer than two feet to any adjacent wall.

•Do not place in-ceiling speakers close to fluorescent lights.

•Some type of protection is required for the back of in-ceiling speakers if blown insulation is used.

Wiring Considerations

•Use 18-gauge, 2-conductor wires for connecting the speakers to the Zone Keypad.

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

•Do not staple wires. Stapled wires can cause shorts. Also, if a wire has been cut too short at one end, stapling makes it impossible to pull additional wire through the wall.

•Do not splice wires. Splices are unreliable and defeat the signal isolation properties of the wires.

Installing the Door Station

•Run CAT-5 wire from the Door Station to the Central Controller location.

•The recommended height for Door Station rough-in box is 48-inches from the ground to the bottom of the box.

•An ME 3 back box is required for new construction. It is shipped separately.
