Rotel Mounting the Keypads, Connecting the RHB-200 to a Rotel Receiver, AC Power connection

Mounting the Keypads

Once all of the keypads are connected, pro- grammed, and tested, finish the installation by installing them into electrical boxes.

NOTE: Purchase decorative switchplate covers to match those used in the room for light switches. The RKB-200 is not supplied with decorative switch plate covers because there is no way to know which style or color will match in custom installations.

The exact installation steps may vary depending on the style of switch plate covers you purchase. However, here is a typical installation method us- ing Decora® style covers:

1.Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the decorative cover.

2.Place the mounting bracket over the electrical box.

3.Place the keypad through the mounting bracket and into the electrical box.

4.Place two screws through the mounting tabs on the keypad and through the mounting bracket to secure the keypad. Do not overtighten.

5.Place the decorative cover over the keypad and press in at the top and bottom until se- cure. There is a small slot in one edge of the decorative cover. Orient the cover so this slot is facing down.

NOTE: Do not mount the keypads until all program- ming steps are complete and the system has been tested. Access to DIP switches at the back of the keypads is necessary during programming.

Connecting the RHB-200 to a Rotel Receiver

See Figure 4

The RHB-200 connecting hub sends command codes to a Rotel multi-zone receiver using infra- red commands. The connections are made using two-conductor cables with 3.5mm mono mini plugs on both ends. One cable is needed for each zone with a keypad, up to a max of four.

ARotel RX-1052 multi-zone receiver is shown in the example:

1.Plug one end of the first cable into the ZONE 1 IR OUT connector on back of the RHB-200.

2.Plug the other end of the cable into the zone 1 IR input on the receiver, labeled EXT REM IR IN on the Rotel RX-1052.

3.Repeat for any additional zones, matching the ZONE 2 IR OUT on the RHB-200 to the ZONE 2 IR IN on the receiver, etc.

Connecting the RHB-200 to Source Components

See Figure 4

The RHB-200 connecting hub sends command codes to source components (such as CD play- ers) using infrared commands. With most Rotel source components, connections are made us- ing two-conductor cables with 3.5mm mono mini plugs on both ends. One cable is needed for each source component.

1.Plug one end of the cable for the first Rotel source component into any of the COMMON IR OUT connectors on back of the RHB-200.

2.Plug the other end of the cable into the EXT REM IN IR input on first source component.

3.Repeat for any source components, using any available COMMON IR OUT connectors on the RHB-200.

NOTE: If your source component does not have an input for a hard-wired IR cable, you can use an industry standard IR emitter placed in front of the source component’s infrared remote sensor. Connect the other end of cable to a COMMON IR OUT connector on the RHB-200. This type of source component is shown at the bottom of Figure 4.

AC Power connection

Once all of the keypad and IR connections are complete, supply power to the RHB-200.

1.Plug the connector from the supplied AC adaptor into the +12V input on the back of the RHB-200.

2.Plug the AC adaptor into an AC power wall outlet.
