Defining Terms Zone A Zone is defined as an area of the house that has separate source selection capabilities from all other areas of the house. Typically, a zone is comprised of a single room, but it is possible for a zone to spread across multiple rooms (kitchen/dining room, master bedroom/master bath) or for multiple zones to be contained in one room (game room/bar area or multiple zones in the yard). Source A Source is any audio (or audio/video) device that is connected to the SOU

2. System Design Overview/Applications Planning Before installing the D5XH, 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 accou

Pre-Construction In a pre-construction installation, walls and ceilings are open with no drywall installed. This is desirable and allows the installer greater access than in retro-fit applications. Before actually running any wire or cable, take the time to look around each room or area of the house and plan your wire paths for maximum efficiency. Look for routes through uncluttered parts of the stud wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage (video, speaker wires, Cat-5, t

Local Sources to Keypads Local sources are only available within the area that they are installed. They will not be available to other areas of the house as they are not distributed by the D5RH/D5XH. Run lengths of Cat-5 from any local (in-room) source to the keypad located in that area.

3. Connections The D5XH is part of an integrated system that requires the use of other components. Depending on the system design, these components may include: • D5KP Amplified Keypad - at least one per zone required • D5IP Source Input Wall Plates - one per zone where a Local Source is desired • D5RH Hub – Main 4x4 Digital Distribution System Hub • Xantech Outdoor, Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers • Xantech IR Emitters and accessories This section describes the connectivity between

D5KP Speaker Connections The D5XH sends a digital audio signal to connected D5KP Keypads where it is amplified and sent to speakers. WARNING!: The D5KP’s amplifier is capable of powering a single pair of 8-6 Ohm speakers. DO NOT connect speakers with a rating of less than 6 Ohms! DO NOT connect more than one speaker to either speaker connector of the D5KP. In doing this, damage to the D5KP may occur and will void the products warranty. To connect speakers to D5KP Keypads: 1.

Auxiliary Power Connector (AUX POWER OUT) For wire runs over 150’, it is recommended to run an additional 16 AWG/2 conductor wire from the head-end location to the Keypads locations. This will allow the AUX POWER OUT terminals to supply additional power to the Keypads to compensate for the additional distance. For wire runs over 300’, 16 AWG/2 conductor wire is required. The maximum wire run using Cat-5 and 16 AWG/2 conductor is 600’. Make all connections between the D5XH and the D5KP A

Figure 3-8: Local Source to D5IP Connections - Digital Optical NOTE: Be sure the RCA/OPT/COAX switch is ‘middle’ and set to ‘OPT’. NOTE: Multi-channel digital audio formats (5.1, 7.1 etc.) are not supported by the D5IP, D5RH, or D5XH. However, many audio/video sources allow you to change the digital output to PCM Stereo. In most cases this will allow multi-channel audio sources to output a “summed” stereo signal through the digital output. Consult the audio/video source manual
