MZC-66 Hardware Installation Instructions Page 19
PHONE PAGE IN
Requirement - Use a quality, pre-made audio cable terminated with RCA connectors for runs under 15’ (5m). Pull qual-
ity, shielded audio cable from the paging device to the System Head-End for runs up to 200’ (61m).
MAXIMUM LENGTH: 200’ (61m)
NOTE: Some Telephone Control Panels can produce suffi cient levels of RF radiation to interfere with MZC-66 perfor-
mance. It is recommended that Telephone Panels be located at least 15-20 feet (5-6m) from an MZC-66 to avoid interfer-
ence.
Installation - Connect one end of the pre-made wire to the paging device line level audio out and the other to the
PHONE PAGE IN jack on the MZC-66 Rear Panel. Terminate the shielded audio cable with an RCA connector at the
System Head-End. Terminate the paging device end as appropriate. Maintain proper polarity. RCA CONNECTOR
POLARITY: PIN=SIG; SLEEVE=GND.
VIDEO PAGE IN
Requirement - Use a quality, pre-made video cable terminated with RCA connectors for runs under 15’ (5m). Pull RG6
quad-shield coaxial cable from the camera/video device to the System Head-End for runs over 15’ (5m).
MAXIMUM LENGTH: Will vary by device. See the specifi cation of the device being used or call the equipment
manufacturer. 40-50’ (12-15m) typical, up to 500’ (152m) on RG6 coaxial cable with some devices.
Installation - Connect one end of the pre-made video cable to the camera/video device composite video out and
the other to the VIDEO PAGE IN jack on the MZC-66 Rear Panel. Terminate the RG6 with an RCA connector at the
System Head-End. Terminate the camera/video device end as appropriate. Maintain proper polarity. RCA CONNECTOR
POLARITY: PIN=SIG; SLEEVE=GND.
DOORBELL/STATUS IN
Requirement - Pull 24-22AWG two-conductor stranded wire from the doorbell or sensed device location to the System
Head-End.
MAXIMUM LENGTH (24AWG): Will vary. 500’ (152m) typical, up to 2000’ (610m) with some devices.
Installation - Terminate the 24-22AWG two-conductor wire with a 3.5mm mini plug at the System Head-End for
connection to one of the two Doorbell/Status IN jacks on the MZC-66 Rear Panel. Terminate the Doorbell/sensed
device end as appropriate. MINI PLUG POLARITY: TIP=+12V; SLEEVE=GND.
COMMON IR OUT
Requirement - Use a SpeakerCraft standard emitter (IRE-1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0) when the Common IR OUT Switch is set in
the LO position. Use a SpeakerCraft high power emitter (IRE-5.0 Blaster) when the Common IR OUT Switch is set in the
HI position. Pull 24-18AWG two-conductor stranded wire from the location requiring System Common IR Control to the
System Head-End to extend the emitter wire as required.
MAXIMUM LENGTH (24AWG): 1000’ (305m)
Installation - Connect an emitter to the Common IR OUT on MZC-66 Rear Panel and set the HI/LO switch as
appropriate. Attach the emitter over the IR eye on the device to be controlled. When extending the emitter wire,
terminate the 24-18AWG two-conductor wire with a 3.5mm mini plug at the System Head-End. Terminate the other end
for System Common IR Control as appropriate. MINI PLUG POLARITY: TIP=SIG; SLEEVE=GND.
COMMON STATUS OUT
Requirement - Pull 24-18AWG two-conductor stranded wire from the device to be controlled to the System Head-End.
MAXIMUM LENGTH (24AWG): 1000’ (305m)
Installation - Terminate the 24-18AWG two-conductor wire with a 3.5mm mini plug at the System Head-End for
connection to the Common Status OUT jack on the MZC-66 Rear Panel. Terminate the controlled device end as
appropriate. MINI PLUG POLARITY: TIP=+12V; SLEEVE=GND.
