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 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 account

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

Pre-Wiring D5RH Digital Audio Distribution Hub to D5KP Amplifier Keypad The D5RH and all associated components are wired using CAT-5 terminated to the T-568A Wiring Standard (Figure 2.2). When pre-wiring, run lengths of CAT-5 from the pre-determined equipment location (the “head-end”) to each Amplifier Keypad location. The CAT-5 routes all audio, power, IR and status information needed for full system operation. Note: For maximum performance over long runs (more than 150 ft) run an a

3. Connections The D5RH 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 • D5XH Expansion Hub - for systems containing from 5 to 28 zones (each D5XH add up to six zones) • Xantech Outdoor, Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers • Xantech IR Emitters and accessories Thi

Digital Coaxial (DIG COAX) Use a Digital Coaxial cable to connect an audio source with a Digital Coaxial output to the D5RH’s Source Input as shown in Figure 3.2. NOTE: Make sure to put the COAX/OPT switch in the COAX (up) position. Digital Connections provide the best audio quality and should be used if available. If both a Digital Coaxial connection and a Digital Optical connection are present on the audio source, use only one. DO NOT connect both Coaxial and Optical outputs to the D5

Source Loop Outputs (SOURCE LOOP OUT) The Source Loop Outputs are used only when adding D5XH Expansion Hubs to the D5RH in order to create more than four zones. These connectors carry Audio, Status and IR information between the units and allow seamless functionality in all areas of the home with no complicated cross-wiring, splicing or specialized adapters needed. When adding a D5XH Router, simply connect CAT-5 Patch Cables from the ‘SOURCE LOOP OUT’ of the D5RH to the ‘SOURCE LOOP IN’

IR OUT/ALL IR OUT Xantech D5KP Amplified Keypad feature a built-in IR Receiver that is used to control the sources connected to the D5RH using hand-held remotes. The four IR ports labeled 1-4 are Source-Specific. When a particular source is selected in a zone, the corresponding IR port is active and only the selected source receives IR. This allows for same-branded or identical source components to be controlled discreetly from one location without conflict. The ALL IR PORT is constan

D5KP Speaker Connections The D5RH routes digital audio to connected D5KP Amplifier Keypad where the audio is then amplified and sent to in-room 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 D5
