amplifier's inputs. A typical application for more power is when connecting an outside zone where the audio power requirements would be much greater than an inside zone.

7.4 12-Volt Trigger Output

The 12 volt trigger is engaged when any of the zones are on. The trigger can be used to engage any 12 volt triggered accessory, such as a triggered AC outlet or audio amplifier. The connection for the trigger is made by an 1/8” phono jack. The tip is (+) and sleeve is (-).

7.6 Connecting The Infra-red Components

In order for your CA4.4pi to transmit the IR signal from the keypads to a source, an emitter must be connected from the IR outputs marked 1-4. Each of these outputs are wired in series and must be connected in consecutive order. For example, the #1 emitter output must be connected in order for the # 2 emitter output to transmit the IR command.
