CONNECT THE IR FLASHERS

MicroFlasher® to the Flasher Outputs

The mini-plug of each included Niles MicroFlasher connects into the Flasher Outputs

2-4. The MicroFlasher portion is placed directly over the IR sensor of the corresponding source component (Source 2 for Flasher 2, Source 3 for Flasher 3, Source 4 for Flasher

4)and adheres with the included adhesive. Remove the protective paper cover to expose the adhesive and attach to the source component.

High-Output Flasher to the high output flasher port

The mini-plug of an optional Niles High Output Flasher, Model IRB-1 (FG01023), connects to the High Output Flasher Port. The IRB-1 is strategically positioned to provide IR transmission to all source components and adheres to a shelf with an included Velcro® mounting system.

CAUTION: Do not connect MicroFlashers to this port. The High output flasher port will damage MicroFlashers

CONNECT THE KEYPAD CAT-5 CABLES

Each Keypad controls a specific zone. The RJ-45 terminated CAT-5 cable that runs to each keypad is connected to the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver’s keypad connectors labeled: ZONE 1, ZONE 2, ZONE 3, and ZONE 4. The zone that each keypad is connected to defines the number of that zone. For example: the keypad that is connected to ZONE

1 will always be defined as ZONE 1. All RJ-45 terminated CAT-5 cable must utilize the T568A wiring convention.

CONNECT THE SLAVE ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver

CHASSIS

Two ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver Kits can be combined to create a four-source, eight-zone system. The Expansion Port connects the two receivers by a RJ-45 terminated CAT-5 cable using the T568A wiring convention. One receiver must be designated as the Master, the other as the Slave (see configuration page 8). All flashers for source control must be connected to the Master and not to the Slave. IR from the keypads connected to the Slave

chassis will be routed to the Master chassis via the expansion connection port.

CONNECT THE AM AND FM ANTENNAS

When using two ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver kits to create an 8-zone system, antennas must be connected to both ZR-4 MultiZone Receivers.

FM Dipole Antenna

The included FM Dipole Antenna connects to the female 75 ohm coaxial connector. The antenna is then positioned and mounted for best reception.

AM Loop Antenna

The included AM Loop Antenna connects with its bare-wire ends to the spring-loaded terminals labeled AM and GND. The antenna is then positioned and mounted for best reception.
