Introduction
ZONE4R remote panel is designed for use with the Apart-audio ZONE4 preamplifier
only. Wiring is easy, using industry standard CAT5 (or higher) computer network
cable. Both T-568A and T-568B cable terminations can be used.
It is possible to use more than one ZONE4R remote panel per zone. Maximum
number of remote panels per ZONE4 preamplifier is 8 panels in any configuration
: e.g. 2 panels x 4 zones = 8 panels or 8 panels x 1 zone = 8 panels or any other
combination with a maximum of 8 panels in total.
Do not connect the ZONE4 or the ZONE4R remote panel to a computer network,
this will cause serious damage to the computer network and the ZONE4/R units !
