GETTING STARTED

Unpacking the System Components

Keep the original carton and packing materials for future shipment or storage.

Check for any visible signs of damage. If you encounter any concealed damage, con- sult your Russound dealer before proceeding to install the unit.

Retain the sales receipt as it establishes the duration of the limited warranty and provides information for insurance purposes.

Tools needed for installation:

Drill with a 1/2” x 6” drill bit

Keyhole saw

Flat head screwdriver (medium size)

Phillips Screwdriver (cordless recommended)

110 punchdown tool (included)

Modular RJ-45 crimper and connectors

Pair of diagonal cutters or wire strippers

Stud finder

Steel wire fish tape

Cable staples

Single-gang electrical work boxes

System Installation Considerations

There are several factors to consider before installing the Russound CAM6.6 system:

• What are the intended listening zones?

What system options and accessories might be required for features such as local sources, etc.?

From where in each zone will the user prefer to control the system? Where will the keypads be located? Where will the speakers be located?

Where will the source equipment be located? The CAM6.6 must have proper ventilation above and below for air circulation and heat dissipation. A rack-mount location may require fans and vents.

Connection Tips

It is recommended that the CAM6.6 and the source equipment be plugged into a dedicated 20-amp circuit with an isolated ground. A power line conditioner can reduce interference prob- lems caused by noise found in some electrical systems.

Disconnect all live power cords before making connections to the controller.

Verify that all connections and polarity are correct.

Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from induced noise.

Choose reliable signal cables/patch cords.

Label all wires with room location at both ends of the wire.

CAUTION

Do not connect the controller's main power feed until all other connections have been made and verified. Live connection or removal of the keypad wiring or other wiring when the system is powered can cause communication problems in the network. Double-check terminations during each phase of the installation to pre- vent accidental damage. Incorrect wiring is the number one cause for non-war- ranty product damage.
