INTelephone interface, the Mute Input mutes the audio to the speakers, the doorbell is used or when the telephone

rings. The connection for the Mute Input is made through a 1/8” male mini-plug. The tip is (+) and the sleeve is (-), 12VDC.

When more than one CAi is used, connect the MUTE OUT of the first CAi to the MUTE IN of the second CAi.

directly over the source components IR window.

The 12 volt trigger is engaged when any of the zones are on and disengaged when the last zone is turned off. 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 through an 1/8” male mini-plug jack. The tip is (+) and sleeve is (-).

When two or more CAi Controllers are to be used in an installation, the LINK connection is used to pass IR signal between the two units. Use an 1/8” mini-plug, male-to-male cable (included) connected from the LINK OUT on the first CAi Controller to the LINK IN on the second CAi. When con- nected, you may connect your IR emitters to either CAi unit’s IR EMITTERS jacks.
