Three-Zone System
Main Room
The AVR21EN and all common-source components and speakers
should be installed, connected and set up as described in the
Pre-Wire/Main Room, and Main Room Installation and Setup
sections.
Remote Rooms Keypads
In addition, a Cat. 5e should be pulled from the KP21 keypad
location in each remote zone (up to two) to the AVR21EN for
control, audio and data. Be sure to leave enough “play” in the
Cat. 5e on both ends to be able to easily make connections and
move components, should they require service.
The KP21s should be mounted in proper two-gang J-boxes. Carlon,
BH235A (new work, closed box), BH234R (old work-retrofit, closed
box), SC200A (new work, open frame).
NOTE: A KP21 SHOULD
NEVER BE INSTALLED IN THE SAME ELECTRICAL BOX WITH HIGH-
VOLTAGE (AC) DEVICES SUCH AS LIGHT SWITCHES AND DIMMERS.
This will negatively affect system performance and is a violation of
electrical code in most areas.
It is recommended that the Cat. 5e be pulled through an area that
can be used at a later date to install AVH21 and WPS21 hubs,
should the homeowner decide to expand system flexibility with
additional zones.
Speakers
The KP21s feature built-in 50-watts-per-channel digital amplifiers,
so speaker wire need only be run locally (within the zone) from
each speaker location to the KP21 location within each zone.
Be sure to leave some “play” in the speaker wires on both ends
to be able to easily make connections and remove in-wall
components, should they require service.
See the
Zone Connections/KP21 Connections and Zone Setup
Sections to complete installation and setup of the Remote Rooms.
NOTE: There are additional, individual-zone preferences that can
be set, as described in
System Operation/Multiroom.
