screens for intuitive end user labeling. All are available in three
colors to coordinate with surroundings: white, ivory or black,

Home run shielded CAT 5e (or better) connections to a
HAL, EXP or CP66 eliminate addressing, external power, and
the need to test the cables. e DR can be up to 300 meters
(1000 feet) away from its host. It mounts in a standard two-gang
U.S. electrical box.
Display screens are dynamic, automatically updating when
the available options change through preset activation, room

control, used most commonly to control volume.

routing exibility as well as relaxed minimum bend radius. e
shielded CAT 5e interface shall transport power, ground and
a communications channel. e digital remote shall support
portable use and hot-swapping so that devices may be replaced
without reprogramming or shutting down the system, and do so
without audio interference. Within seconds, all settings for new
or existing portable digital remotes shall automatically download
from the multiprocessor along with the correct rmware
permitting continuous hot-swapping – even between dierent
vintage multiprocessors. e hardware-software combination
shall automatically check and display the status, location, and
CAT 5e crimp and wiring integrity. Hardware and software
