Page 18 MZC-66 Hardware Installation Instructions
Standard Wire (cont)
Installation - Strip away approximately 2” (50mm) of the wire jacket and separate the individual conductors. Strip ap-
proximately
1
⁄4 inch (6mm) on both ends of the individual conductors to be used for connection to the EZ-Pads/IMKPs
and MZC-66. For MODE 3.1, secure each lead end (without stripping) to the proper terminal with a punchdown tool.
MODE 3.1 CAUTION: Use only 24AWG solid wire. Larger sizes may damage the terminals and stranded wire will not
retain securely. Twist the stripped ends so there are no loose strands that can cause shorts. Secure the ends to the proper
keypad terminals. Maintain proper polarity. Unused leads can be connected in parallel, one, with each of the +12V,
GND and IR/IO leads, for better IR performance when using lighter gauge wire on long runs. Maintain proper polarity
and double check connections prior to powering up the system. Improper connections can cause damage to the key-
pads, MZC or both.
SPEAKERS
Requirement - Pull home runs of 18-14AWG two-conductor quality stranded speaker wire from all speaker locations to
the System Head-End.
MAXIMUM LENGTH: 18AWG up to 50’ (15m); 16AWG up to 200’ (61m); 14AWG up to 1000’ (305m).
Installation - Strip approximately
1
⁄4 inch (6mm) off each end of each conductor and twist the stripped ends so there are
no loose strands that can cause shorts. On the Head-End side, carefully slide the individual conductors into the appropri-
ate L+,L-/R-,R+ speaker terminals on the removable screw down connectors that plug into the MZC-66 Zone
Speaker OUT Terminals. Terminate the speaker ends as appropriate for the given speakers. Maintain proper polarity.
CONTACT CLOSURES
Requirement - Pull 24-14AWG two-conductor stranded wire from any location utilizing a contact closure from the MZC-
66 to the System Head -End.
MAXIMUM LENGTH: Will vary with application.
Installation - On the Head-End side, strip approximately
1
⁄4” off each end of each conductor and twist the stripped ends
so there are no loose strands that can cause shorts. Carefully slide the individual conductors into the appropriate Con-
tact Closure Terminal pair on the MZC-66 Rear Panel. Terminate the device end as appropriate. POLARITY: MZC end
not critical.
EXPANSION PORT/LOOP
Requirement - CAT-5 cable terminated with RJ45 connectors, pass-through confi guration (pin to pin).
MAXIMUM LENGTH: 1000’ (305m)
Installation - When using multiple MZC-66’s, connect CAT-5 cables terminated with RJ45 connectors to MZC-66 Port/
Loop terminals in expanded systems. See section: Expanded Systems for additional information.
When using MODE Adapters, pull CAT-5 from the MZC to where the MODE Adapter(s) will be installed. For instal-
lations where the Adapter will be at the system head-end, a CAT-5 patch cable can be used at time of installation and
hook-up. For installations where the Adapter will be in a remote location, pull CAT-5 and terminate with a proper wall
plate with a pass-through (pin to pin) confi guration. MAXIMUM LENGTH (for MODE Adapter): 100’ (30m). NOTE:
This connection requires confi guration in EZ-Tools. See: MODE 3.1 Installation Instructions for additional information.
When using RSA-1.0(s) pull CAT-5 from the MZC to where the RSA-1.0(s) will be installed. For installations where the
RSA will be at the system head-end, a CAT-5 patch cable can be used at time of installation and hook-up. For installations
where the Adapter will be in a remote location, pull CAT-5 and terminate with a proper wall plate with a pass-through
(pin to pin) confi guration. MAXIMUM LENGTH (for RSA-1.0): 1000’ (305m). NOTE: This connection requires con-
fi guration in EZ-Tools. See: RSA-1.0 Installation Instructions for additional information.
CONTROL PORT
Used for system programming and fi rmware updates. See: EZ-Tools MZC Programming Instructions for additional
information.
