ZONE PRE-AMP OUTPUTS (CA4.4PI ONLY) CONNECTING THE INFRARED COMPONENTS

In applications where more power than the 20 watts per channel is desired, connect one or more zones of the CA4.4pi to an external amplifier. Using standard RCA connectors, wire from the pre-amp outputs of the CA4.4pi to the ampli- fier's inputs. A typical application for more power is when connecting an outside zone where the audio power require- ments would be much greater than an inside zone.

12-VOLT TRIGGER OUTPUT

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 (-).

MUTE INPUT (CA4.4PI ONLY)

When used with the optional Doorbell or Telephone inter- face, the Mute Input mutes the audio to the speakers for six seconds when either the doorbell is used or when the tele- phone rings. The connection for the Mute Input is made through a 1/8” male mini-plug. The tip is (+) and the sleeve is (-).

•In order for your CA 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 is 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 com- mand. NOTE: All IR outputs are common

•Connect each 845.1 mini-emitter to the IR output.

•Remove the adhesive back and position the IR receiver on the product you wish to control. Stick the 845.1 emitter directly over the source components IR window.

CONNECTING THE IR LINK

When two CA Controllers are to be used in an installation, the IR Link connection is used to pass IR signal between the two units. Use a 1/8” mini-plug, male-to-male cable (includ- ed) connected from the IR Link on the first CA Controller to the IR Link on the second CA. When connected, you may connect your IR emitters to either CA unit’s IR Remote Output jacks.
