7. Back Panel Connections
7.1 Source Input Connections
•Your source inputs are located at the top left corner of the back panel. Although the source input names are silk screened on the back
of the CA4.4pi, these names are for referenece only. Any type of source equipment can be connected to any input. Connect each
source output, left and right, using quality signal cables / patch cables. Label each cable the name of your source and the input num-
ber of the CA4.4pi you have selected. Repeat until all sources are connected. List them down below.
List 1 –Source names should be written below
Input 1 (TUNER) ______________ Input 2 (CD) ______________ Input 3 (TAPE) ______________ Input 4 (AUX) ______________
7.2 Speaker Connections
•Each speaker connection on the back panel corresponds to one room/zone. Wire your speakers by first removing the connector for
the choosen zone. Using wire strippers, strip back 1/8" of the end of the wire. Insert the proper polarity, left + to left +, left- to left- etc.,
until all wires are connected in each zone output. Label each wire with the room name and zone number. Write down the room
name to the zone number below. Note: We recommend 8 Ohm minimum speakers for each zone. However, speakers as low as 4
Ohm can be safely used in up to two zones, if necessary.
List 2 –Wire color should be written below
(Color) Left + _______________ Left - _______________ Right + _______________ Right - _______________
List 3 –Room names should be written below
Zone 1 ________________________________________ Zone 2 ________________________________________
Zone 3 ________________________________________ Zone 4 ________________________________________
7.3 Zone Pre-Amp Outputs
In applications where more power than the 20 watts per channel is
desired, connect one or more zones of the CA4.4pi to an external
amplifier. Using standard RCA connectors, wire from the pre-amp out-
puts of the CA4.4pi to the amplifier's inputs. A typical application for more power is when connecting an outside zone where the
audio power requirements would be much greater than an inside zone.
7.4 12-Volt Trigger Output
The 12 volt trigger is engaged when any of the zones are on. The trigger can be
used to engage any 12 volt triggered accessory, such as a triggered AC outlet or
audio amplifier. The connection for the trigger is made by an 1/8”phono jack. The
tip is (+) and sleeve is (-).
7.5 Mute Input
When used with the optional Doorbell or Telephone interface, the Mute Input mutes the
audio to the speakers for six seconds when either the doorbell is used or when the telephone
rings. The connection for the Mute Input is made by a 1/8”male jack. The tip is (+) and the
sleeve is (-).

7.6 Connecting The Infrared Components
•In order for your CA4.4pi to transmit the IR signal from the keypads to a source, an emitter must be
connected from the IR outputs marked 1-4. Each of these outputs is wired in series and must be
connected in consecutive order. For example, the #1 emitter output must be connected in order for
the #2 emitter output to transmit the IR command.
•Connect each 845.1 mini-emitter to the source IR output. Refer to the source number
you had written down in list 1.
•Remove the adhesive back and position the IR receiver on the product you wish to control.
Stick the 845.1 emitter directly over the source components IR window. The CA4.4pi will
direct the IR command to the source component you wish to control.
•Repeat connections until all emitters match the selected sources.
7.7 Connecting the IR Link
•When two CA4.4pi Controllers are to be used in an installation, the IR Link connection is used to pass IR signal between the two
units. Use a 1/8”, mono, phone plug, male-to-male cable connected from the IR Link on the first CA4.4pi Controller to the IR Link on
the second CA4.4pi. When connected, you may connect your IR emitters to either unit’s IR Remote Output jacks.
7.8 Keypad Connections
•Each keypad connection on the back panel corresponds to the room / zone number chosen for your speakers. Each zone operates
independently, so it is very important to connect the keypad to the correct zone keypad input. Remove the connector and strip 1/8"
off each end of the wire insulation. Connect each wire 1 thru 8 using a small jewelers screwdriver. At this point it is not important
what color wires connect where, however, take note of the color of each wire and number indicated on the connector when con-
nected to the back panel.
•Write down the room name to the zone number below. Note: the keypad and the speakers in each room must be hooked to the
same zone number. See List 3.
List 4 –Room names should be written below.
Zone 1 _______________ Zone 2 ______________ Zone 3 _______________ Zone 4 ______________
List 5 –Wire color should be written below.
Pin 1 ________ Pin 2 ________ Pin 3 _________ Pin 4 _________
Pin 5 ________ Pin 6 ________ Pin 7 _________ Pin 8 _________
8. Standard Keypad Installation
The CA4.4pi Central Controller Amplifier is offered with standard keypads and
LCD keypads. If you are installing a unit with LCD keypads skip to step 9.
8.1 Installing the KP Keypads
•The best performance is achieved with the keypad away from any direct sunlight. Also consider the convenience when choosing a
location.
•Choose a place that is easily seen from the position where a person is most likely to be located.
•Check whether or not you can route the wire to the location you have chosen.
•Purchase retro-fit plastic junction boxes (min. 20 cubic inches) and cut
in the boxes using a key-hole saw or sheetrock knife/hand saw.
•Route the wire to the junction box from the CA4.4pi location.
•Strip the insulation back 1/8" from each twisted wire. Connect each
wire to the correct position 1 thru 8. Refer to List 5.
•If you feel uncomfortable cutting into your walls and running wire through
the walls, seek help from a professional installer or an electrician.
•Mount the keypad in the junction box and attach the Decora plate.
•The CA KP keypad has source labels for your convenience. Place the label
on the keypad keeping the input number in sequence with the source
selected.
•Repeat the above steps until all keypads are installed.

Decora plate.
•Skip to step 10
9. Installing the CA-LCD Keypads
9.1 Keypad Connections (See Figure 1)
Connect each wire 1 thru 8 using a small jewelers screwdriver. Take note of the
color of each wire and the number, being sure that the color and number
match at the keypad and the keypad input on the controller. If you are using
the optional SRM-2.1 speaker relay module, wire the +, - terminals of the CA-
LCD to the SRM-2.1 +, - terminals.
9.2 Installing the Keypad (see Figure
2)
The best performance is achieved
when the keypad is placed away
from direct sunlight. Consider a
convenient operating location before wiring. Choose a place that is easily seen from the
common areas of the room. Be sure that you will be able to route the wire for the keypad for
the area you have selected. The wire should not be run or placed near AC wiring. Mount the
keypad into a standard 18 cubic inch j-box or p-ring using a Decora-style cover plate when
finished. If you are installing the optional DSC keypad you will need to use a double-gang
electrical box. If you are installing the CA-LCD, DSC and the
optional DAN keypad you will need to install a triple-gang
electrical box.
9.3 Setting the Keypad (See Figure 3)
Before the keypad is installed into the j-box, turn on the power so that you can operate the keypad. The
amber and the green backlight brightness can be individually set. Note the brightness controls are located
on the side of the keypad. Adjust to the desired brightness the backlight that first comes on. Press and
hold the lamp button on the front of the keypad until the backlight switches to the other color. Adjust the
brightness for the selected color. Also the maximum volume and the balance can be set at this time.
