5Russound Collage System Installation Manual
Collage System
Collage is a Powerline Carrier (PLC) based whole-house audio system
for retrot applications. Its two components are the CAK1 amplied
keypad and the CMM1 media manager. A system requires one CMM1
and at least one (up to 10) CAK1.
Collage uses Gridcast® protocol to operate its internal communications.
This protocol rides on top of the Powerline communication. The Collage
uses HomePlug 1.0 Extended to deliver the audio streams, as well as the
control signals from the keypad to the sources.
Collage Keypad (CAK1)
The CAK1 is an in-wall amplied keypad with amplication for speakers.
It is powered by and communicates over the home’s electrical system.
The front of the keypad has a capacitive touchpad, click wheel and color
quarter VGA display. It also has a built-in intercom system with room-to-
room or whole house communication.
The keypad's amplier supports a minimum 4-ohm load (two pair of
8-ohm speakers using 16 AWG). The keypad's internal FM tuner uses
either the included monopole antenna (attaches behind the bezel) or
an optional 75-ohm coaxial external antenna.
The keypad is installed in a back box that is divided into two parts: a
high voltage power pocket with connection for the power supply, and a
low voltage control connection. These two installation and connection
areas are kept apart by a trade separator plate.
The power pocket and power supply are to be installed and connected
by licensed and qualied electricians ONLY. All wiring must be done in
accordance with the National Electric Code and all local electrical codes.
All back box and power pocket installation must comply with all local re
codes.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Media Manager (CMM1)
The Media Manager is the bridge between the Collage system keypads,
the internal home network (LAN) and the outside world (WAN). Its
job is to manage up to three streams from external services (such as
Rhapsody® Direct and internet radio services) and internal streams from
computers, NAS drives, Windows Media Connect, and the like (via DLNA
[Digital Living Network Alliance] and UPnP [Universal Plug and Play]).
The Media Manager also hosts the system's rmware and controls other
system functions.
The Media Manager is connected to the home's network via a port
on the network router/switch. In turn, the CMM1 communicates
bidirectionally with the keypads using Gridcast via the electrical wiring
by using HomePlug Powerline Carrier (PLC) technology.
Installation and conguration constraints
A broadband internet connection is required for proper operation of•
the Collage system.
Surge protectors, power strips and uninterruptible power supplies•
must be PLC-friendly and/or HomePlug approved. Other models will
compromise powerline communication.
GFCI and AFCI (arc fault) outlets may hinder the PLC performance if•
they employ ltering and surge suppression as well. Check with the
manufacturer.
Surge duplex outlets may hinder the PLC performance if they employ•
certain types of ltering. Check with the manufacturer.
The PLC protocol used in the Collage system (HomePlug) does•
not function properly when the alternate protocol DS2™ is already
being used within the home. Removing the competing devices,
or switching the competing device to the HomePlug protocol will
resolve this issue.

Overview
As the home's electrical network is being used to transmit HomePlug
Power Line Carrier (PLC) signals, it is important to have the most robust
communication network possible. This is why intended installation
locations are pre-qualied BEFORE committing to a location and making
a hole in the wall.
Preparation
To perform binding and network verication you will need:
CAK1 keypad with pigtail (have all planned keypads on hand)•
CMM1 Media Manager and power cord•
Power strip•
Power up units
Plug all keypads into power strip. Each keypad's power supply1.
should have a pigtail connected with a grounded three-prong plug,
and keypad should be assembled.
Plug the CMM1 Media Manager into the power strip.2.
Wait for the keypads to boot up.3.
Naming the keypads
Each keypad should be named at this time. Give keypads unique4.
names to avoid confusion when using the intercom or joining music
from another room. Write that name on a label and place it on the
aluminum frame of the keypad.
From the Initial Setup screen, choose Name, then use the wheel to5.
scroll through the alphabet (upper and lower case), and press Select
to enter each letter. When nished, press Enter to save. Complete
the naming procedure for all keypads.
NAMING AND BINDING PROCEDURE
Binding the devices
The binding process associates the keypad with the media manager
(CMM1) by sharing a unique key and establishes communication and
identication of devices on the PLC network.
On the rst keypad, from the Initial Setup screen, scroll to and select6.
Setup Gridcast Network.
Depress the binding button on the back of the CMM1. Wait for the7.
LED to settle into a slow blinking mode (one second on/o) LED.

When the devices are bound to each other, the Status on the screen9.
will change to Joined Network. Press Done to exit.
On the Initial Setup screen, press Done to complete the procedure.10.
Repeat the binding process for each additional keypad.11.
If there is an error or if the keypad shows "Waiting for others", power12.
cycle the keypad and try again.
Once all keypads are bound to the Gridcast network, unplug all the
devices and proceed to location validation. Device names and binding
status are stored in memory and are not aected by power status.
11Russound Collage System Installation Manual
GRIDCAST VERIFICATION
Network verication and location validation
As with any retrot prequalication or initial survey of an installation
site, Collage's electrical-based Gridcast network strength must be tested
before installation to verify that the keypads and media manager have
strong communication between them.
In a Collage system, there are two types of communication: from
keypad to keypad (intercom calls, viewing sources active in other
rooms), and from keypad to media manager (streaming music). The
verication procedure measures the signal strength between all of these
components and assigns each a numeric value.
Note: It is assumed that a licensed electrician will be performing all
high voltage activities. The following procedures are reminders and not
actual procedures for circuit verication. Always follow all local codes
and safe electrical procedures.
Pick the proper pigtail
Select the desired location where the keypad is to be installed, and
determine the access point for testing: receptacle or light switch.
Use a three-prong plug when utilizing a receptacle as a power feed
(intended circuit). If half of the duplex receptacle is switched via a light
switch, use the constant on side of the duplex receptacle.
If tapping o an electrical light switch, remove the light switch and
test o of the feed supplying the light switch (pigtails). Hot, neutral and
ground must be present in the box. No switched hot legs can feed the
Collage keypad.
Power up units
Power on each keypad with appropriate pigtail at its intended1.
location.
Power on the CMM1 near the intended computer network access2.
location. This can be near the computer equipment or near a remote
network access port such as a RJ45 wall plate. It is not necessary to
connect to the network for this procedure.
ADVISORY: Pay special attention to external power supplies commonly
found with computer and network equipment. These may induce
enough noise to greatly aect the Gridcast test results. Use of a noise
lter or ltered surge strip may be necessary to isolate that noise-
producing device.
Checking signal strength
On a keypad's Home screen, scroll to and select Options and3.
Settings. Under Status, select Gridcast.
On the Gridcast signal strength screen (Diagnostics), all device4.
names appear, with the keypad's own name at the top of the list.
This is a report from the entire network.
Each device shows a network strength number that must be5. 6or
greater to qualify as a Collage keypad installation site. If the number
for a device is 6, eorts should be made to maximize that number. If
the number is less than 6, that device must be moved to an alternate
location and checked again.
Gridcast network as seen
from the Kitchen keypad.
Each device is reporting on
its "view" of the network.
All numbers are within
acceptable range and do not
require further investigation.
12 Russound Collage System Installation Manual
GRIDCAST VERIFICATION
Deciphering the numbers
The Gridcast network verication may show some locations with a
strength number less than 6. The following example shows how to work
through such situations and ensure quality communication between
devices. The beauty of Collage is that all Gridcast network information
can be seen from any one keypad, simply by choosing to see Details. One
look provides a global view (Diagnostics) or any device's view (Details).
Finding the reason
In the example Diagnostics screen, the only unacceptable number
is the Baby's Room (5). The Details screen reveals where that number
comes from; the keypad sees the Den as a 5.
Because the Den reports (on the Diagnostics screen) that it sees the
other rooms at a 9 or greater, the keypad to relocate and retest would
be the Baby's Room.
Troubleshooting two or more low numbers
If two or more low numbers (5 or less) show on the Gridcast Diagnostic
screen, look into the Details of each device to see if there are multiple
problem sites or one common oender causing the low score. This can
save time and retesting if only a single unit must be relocated. In the
example below, the Media Manager needs to be relocated and retested.
The Gridcast Diagnostic
screen shows the Baby's
Room network strength is 5
(unacceptable).
With Baby's Room
highlighted, press the select
button to view Details.
The Details screen reveals how
the Baby's Room keypad sees
the rest of the network.
The letters and numbers after
the score are for Russound
Tech Support diagnostics only.
The Baby's Room score above
shows 4.
Details below show the only
unacceptable score is the
Media Manager (4).

MAKING THE CUTOUT
Using the template
Note: For optimal viewing, the keypad should be installed at a
thermostat height of 59 inches (150 cm) (measured from the oor to the
center of the screen).
The included template is used as a guide to accurately position and cut
the correctly sized cutout in the wall for installation of the back box. Use
the template's vertical marks for alignment with the device mounting
holes of a single or double-gang box to determine the location of the
electrical wire. Cut out the wall following the pattern on the template.
There are four reference points on the template:
Centered horizontal line•
Centered vertical line (#1)•
Two vertical lines (#2) that are 1.84 inches (46mm) apart•
For a single gang box, use either #2 vertical line to line up the center of
the box (to avoid cutting into a stud).
For a double gang box, use both #2 lines to line up the back box.
All electrical boxes have dierent dimensions on the outside but similar
location as for device holes on the inside. These can be used as reference
points with the template to assist in centering the keypad.
The diagram at right depicts the template.

WIRE AND CABLE FEED
Electrical wire pull
Do what is necessary to prepare the electrical wire feed from the light
switch or electrical outlet for installation. If using wire requiring more
bend radius, or if the keypad is to be installed closer to a light switch,
the back box and power pocket can be inverted as shown. The diagram
at right shows the upside down installation of the back box and power
pocket.
Note: Keep in mind the recommended keypad height is 59 inches (150
cm) for optimal screen viewing.
Speaker cable pull
The CAK1 supports two pair of 8-ohm speakers (up to a 4-ohm load).
These are typically installed in the same room as the keypad.
Speaker cable should be run to the back box location before the back
box is installed. Once the cable is fed through the back box, strip 3/16"
(4.7 mm) from the ends of the speaker cable (16 AWG) and insert into the
removable snap connector, keeping channel and polarity correct.
FM antenna wire (monopole)
The CAK1 includes a monopole antenna for the FM tuner. Before
installing the back box, extend the wire and place it so it runs down and
out the small side opening of the back box and hangs outside the box
inside the wall.
FM antenna wire (coaxial)
The CAK1 supports an optional external 75-ohm coaxial antenna (up
to RG6). Run the coaxial cable to the back box location. Thread the cable
through the top of the back box and pull through.
Optional inverted back box installation
16 Russound Collage System Installation Manual
Install back box
Install the back box in the hole and secure using the included hardware. This1.
includes the two doglegs that are adjusted to snug the back box up against
the inside of the wall (Do not use a cordless drill; tighten by hand only). The
doglegs have a minimum clamping distance of 3/8" (9.5 mm) and a maximum
distance of 7/8" (22 mm). The large power pocket opening should be on the
bottom of the box. If using metal clad wire, the box will have to be installed
upside down to accommodate the bend radius of this type of wire (e.g., BX).
Pull/Connect the wire
Pull the electrical feed from the light switch or electrical outlet through the2.
back box. Install the strain relief into the power pocket.
Secure the electrical wire to the uninstalled power pocket by passing it
3.
through the strain relief (for use with non-metallic cable such as Romex®). If
using metallic cable, you will need to provide the correct strain relief for this
cable. The knockout is for a standard 3/8" (9.5 mm) strain relief.
Connect the electrical wire to the ying leads from the power supply and to
4.
the ying ground lead on the power pocket. Do not remove the metal choke
from the ying leads of the power supply.
