Rotel RHB-200 manual +12V DC input, Clone Input, Zone Inputs, Zone IR Outputs, Common IR Outputs

8RKP-200/RHB-200

+12V DC input

The power connector receives +12V signal when AC power supply is plugged into a wall outlet.

Clone Input

RJ-45 modular jack accepts CAT-5 cable from keypad during cloning configuration.

Zone Inputs

Four RJ-45 modular jacks accept CAT-5 cables from keypads in up to four zones.

Zone IR Outputs

Four 3.5mm mini-jacks send IR signals to the zone IR inputs on a Rotel receiver.

Common IR Outputs

Six 3.5mm mini-jacks send IR signals to source components, either to a direct-wired connection (Rotel components) or to an IR emitter.

Connecting the system

Master keypads in up to four remote zones con- nect to a centrally-located RHB-200 Connecting Hub using standard Category 5 Ethernet-style ca- bling and 8-pin RJ-45 modular plugs. A second keypad can be added in each of the four zones, if desired. The second keypad is connected to the master keypad in its zone and provides duplicate functions from a second location.

Cable selection

Run 8-conductor CAT-5 Ethernet cabling from each keypad location to the RHB-200 Connecting Hub. Terminate each end of the cables with standard 8- pin RJ-45 modular plugs. Use a “straight-through” wiring code, with the same color wire connected to the same pin on every plug as shown below. If your cable has different color codes, make sure to wire every modular plug in the same order.

Connecting Master Keypads

See Figure 3

The first keypad in each zone is designated as the master keypad. All master keypads connect directly to the RHB-200 Connecting Hub as follows.

1.For Zone 1, connect one end of the cable to the ZONE OUT modular jack on the back of the master keypad.

2.Connect the other end to the ZONE 1 modular jack on the RHB-200 Connecting Hub.

3.Repeat for the master keypads in Zones 2, 3, and 4, using the ZONE 2, ZONE 3, and ZONE 4 modular jacks on the RHB-200.

The master keypads are shown in normal shading on the illustration.

Connecting a Second Keypad

See Figure 3

An optional second keypad in each zone is des- ignated as a slave keypad. Slave keypads always connect to the master keypad in the zone:

1.Connect one end of a Category 5 Ethernet cable from the ZONE OUT modular jack on the slave keypad.

2.Connect the other end to the ZONE IN jack on the master keypad.

3.Repeat for the master keypads in Zones 2, 3, and 4, using the ZONE 2, ZONE 3, and ZONE 4 modular jacks on the RHB-200.

Optional slave keypads are shown in lighter shad- ing on the illustration.
