2. System Design Overview/Applications

Planning

Before installing the D5RH, it is essential to have a detailed and accurate system design. The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, keypad and equipment locations, etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place.

It is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage. After establishing design goals, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment, keypad, expansion hubs, local source wall plates, IR emitters, etc.
