Connectivity

The KD-ZRC300 remote communicates with the KD-ZRX200 transceiver via wireless ZigBee
signals. The KD-ZRX200 transceiver allows for communication from up to 100 feet away with
signals extending through most walls, floors and doors. The KD-MC1000 Master Controller
must also be connected in the system. Connect the KD-ZRX200 to the KD-MC1000’s ZigBee
RS-232 I/O port using the supplied 3.5mm 4 conductor stereo male to male cable or using a
fabricated wire that may be up to 100 ft. long.

3.5mm 4 conductor cable
