• The CAT-5 wire for communication and the line-level in/out enter the electrical box on the right side, when you
are looking into the box. NOTE two cat 5 cables are needed when using the local wall source in that zone, one for
communication and one for the local line-level in/out.
• Label all wiring: Power, right speaker, left speaker, line-level in, and line-level out.
• Knot or fasten all wires in some manner to prevent them from slipping out through the back of the electrical box.
• DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge power wire with the 18-gauge speaker wire.
Figure 10 shows the wiring hookups for the backside connectors of the Zone Keypad (XDM46K).
How to read the schematic:
1. The 16-gauge (power) and 18-gauge (for the speakers), 2-conductor wires attach to the 1x6 connector. The
wire that provides power from the controller attaches where indicated by the label on the connector – the solid
red indicates the position of the positive wire while the striped red indicates the position of the negative wire.
The position of the speaker +/- L and +/- R is indicated by the L+, L-, R+ and R- lettering on the label.
2. The 1x10 connector attaches to the two CAT-5 cables. On the label, a heavy black line separates the connection
of the two wires. Any unused wires are cut off. Refer to the connector label for the proper position of each
color-coded wire. From top to bottom, the color code is as follows: blue/white, blue, green, orange, brown and
brown/white. This group is for the CAT-5 cable that goes to the wall plate. The remaining color codes are
orange, orange/white, green, and green/white. This group is for the CAT-5 cable that carries the controller
communication data.
