INSTALLER

GETTING STARTED

Unpacking the System Components

• Keep the original carton and packing materials
for future shipment or storage.

• Check for any visible signs of damage. If you
encounter any concealed damage, consult your
Russound dealer before proceeding to install the
unit.

• Retain the sales receipt as it establishes the
duration of the limited warranty and provides
information for insurance purposes.

CAA66 System Components:

• 1 (one) CAA66 Controller/Amplifier

• 6 (six) KP6 or KPL Keypads

• 1 (one) SRC1 System Remote Control

• 6 (six) 845.1 Micro Emitters

Tools needed for installation:

• Drill with a 1/2” x 6” drill bit

• Keyhole saw

• Flat head screwdriver (medium size)

• Phillips Screwdriver (cordless recommended)

• 110 punchdown tool (included)

• Modular RJ-45 crimper and connectors

• Pair of diagonal cutters or wire strippers

• Stud finder

• Steel wire fish tape

• Cable staples

• Single-gang electrical work boxes

System Installation Considerations

There are several factors to consider before
installing the Russound CAA66 system:

• What are the intended listening zones?

• What system options and accessories might
be required for features such as local sources,
etc.?

• From where in each zone will the user prefer
to control the system? Where will the keypads
be located? Where will the speakers be located?

• Where will the source equipment be located?
The CAA66 must have proper ventilation above
and below for air circulation and heat dissipation.
A rack-mount location may require fans and vents.

Connection Tips

• It is recommended that the CAA66 and the
source equipment be plugged into a dedicated
20-amp circuit with an isolated ground. A power
line conditioner can reduce interference
problems caused by noise found in some electri­cal systems.

• Disconnect all live power cords before making
connections to the controller.

• Verify that all connections and polarity are
correct.

• Keep all power cords away from all signal
cables to prevent humming from induced noise.

• Choose reliable signal cables/patch cords.

• Label all wires with room location at both ends
of the wire.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

RJ-45 Connections

The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard shown on
the right is used for the RJ-45 terminations.

Keypad Wiring

For the KP6 or KPL keypad, the following con­nections are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to
the 110 punchdown on the keypad:

CA

T-5 WIRE COLOR TYPE

Brown. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +12V

Brown/White. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +12V

Green . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ground

Green/White . . . . . . . . . . . . . Status In

Orange . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ground

Blue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COM A

Blue/White. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COM B

• To determine the amount of CAT-5 wire
required for the system installation, first
decide how many keypads will be used, then
determine the distance between each intend­ed keypad location to the planned CAA66
location. The maximum recommended wire
run length is 250 feet for each KP6 or KPL
keypad.

• Make sure that the entire wire path
between keypads and CAA66 is clear and
not obstructed by a floor ceiling joist, or
masonry wall which can’t be drilled through.

• Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an
outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot
to connect wires with the CAA66.

• Label wires with keypad and room location.
This simplifies CAA66 hook-up once the key­pads and speakers are installed.

Speaker Wiring

Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded speak­er wire can be run up to to 125 feet; 14-gauge
wire can be run up to 250 feet.

When running wire, pay particular attention to
the following areas:

• Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating
ducts and AC wiring in the general vicinity.

• Avoid running wires close to house electri­cal wiring for any distance. If you have to run
them parallel, make sure to space the wires
at least two feet from the AC line.

CAT-5 to KP6/KPL Connection

The KP6/KPL keypad uses a 110­punchdown terminal on the back
panel to provide simple installation
and a strong connection for CAT-5
cable’s eight conductors.
Punchdown terminals require the
use of a punchdown tool. Attach the
CAT-5 cable to the 110-punchdown
terminal on the KP6 keypad as
shown, matching the conductor col­ors to the connection color guide.
The keypad will not operate properly

if the terminations deviate from the
required connection order.
Take care when using an impact 110
punchdown tool, as this may over­spread the contact points. Use of the
impact tool may propel stray bits of
wire and jacket into the keypad’s chas­sis and possibly cause a short in the
circuitry. Gently shake or blow air
through the keypad chassis to remove
stray wire before the keypad is
installed into the junction box.

Keypad Port, use an RJ45 CAT-5 patch cable to
connect from the keypad port to an RJ-45 wall
plate (optional). Using the same RJ45 T568A
CAT-5 wiring configuration, use CAT-5 from the
RJ45 wall plate to the keypad.

If using more than one keypad in a zone, use an
SA-ZX3 System Keypad Splitter (optional). The
SA-ZX3 supports up to three keypads per zone
and connects directly to the Keypad Port for that
zone. The CAT-5 for the keypads is run to a wall
plate, with RJ45 CAT-5 patch cables between the
wall plate and the SA-ZX3. Always use the RJ45
T568A CAT-5 wire configuration when connecting
keypads.

Source IR Connections

Each source component has a designated IR
port on the back of the CAA66. This IR port is
directly above the Source Audio Input
Connections.

1. Using an IR emitter (the Russound 845.1 is
recommended) attach the end of the emitter

with the 1/8

”

plug to the IR emitter port above

the source input.

2. Remove the adhesive back at the other end
of the emitter and attach the emitter over the
source component’s IR window.

RNET Source Audio Connections

The CAA66 supports source control of
Russound RNET components (ST2 Smart Tuner,
SMS3 Smart Media Server) through the
Controller Link ports via SRC1 remote control
commands but provides no feedback to key­pads.

Using quality RCA signal cables, connect the
Left and Right Audio outputs from each RNET
source to the corresponding inputs on the
CAA66 controller. Label each cable with the
name of the selected source and the Source
Audio input number located on the CAA66.

RNET Link In/Out Connections

The RNET components are linked to the con­troller and each other using RJ45 patch cables
connected to the Link In and Link Out ports.

When used with the KPL keypad, there will be no
RNET source information sent to the keypad dis­play.

Common IR Connection

Common IR Connections

The Common IR jack on the rear of the CAA66
allows control of any source equipment without
that source being selected on the keypad. The
connection for the Com IR jack is made using an
IR emitter with a 1/8’’ plug or IR link cable.

The Russound 845.1 single IR emitter is recom­mended, or use an IR connecting block such as
the Russound 857 which allows multiple units to
be controlled through the COM IR Port.

23

The speakers are connected to the CAA66 using
modular snap connectors. Each of these color­coded connectors is designated for the speaker
set of a particular amplified zone. To avoid con­fusion, connect one zone speaker set at a time
starting with Zone 1, taking care to keep zone
and speaker wire identities straight.
Note: An 8 Ohm minimum speaker is required
for each amplified output.

1. Pull the speaker wire conductors apart so
they’re separated for the first two inches from
their ends.

2. Using a wire stripper, remove 1/4 inch of
insulation from each conductor. Twist the
strands in each conductor into tight spirals.

3. Remove the modular four-color connector for
Zone 1. The color code is as follows:

WHITE -- L+ (left channel positive)

GREEN -- L- (left channel negative)

BLACK -- R- (right channel negative)

RED -- R+ (right channel positive)

Lift the black lever for each connection until it
locks open and insert the proper speaker
wire, matching channel and polarity for all
four wires. Snap the lever down. Insert the
modular connector into its designated output
on the back of the CAA66.

4. Complete the same steps for the remaining
zones. Label each set of speaker wires with
the zone and location.

Zone Fixed/Variable Audio Output

The CAA66 has two line Audio outputs, on Zone
1 and Zone 2. Each of these zone audio output
connections features a stereo line out RCA con­nection plus a switch to allow for either a fixed
or a variable line level output.

When set to Variable, the keypad volume level
affects this output. In the Fixed position, the key­pad volume level will not change the output level.

The fixed or variable audio outputs can be used
if additional amplification is desired (e.g.,
Russound R235LS two-channel amplifier). Use
quality RCA signal cables to ensure a constant
quality audio signal.

Note: If set to Fixed, turning the keypad off will
not turn off the audio output.

12VDC Mute Trigger In

When 12VDC is applied to the Mute In, the sys­tem will fully mute all zones in the system. The
connections for the trigger are made using a two­conductor cable with 1/8” male mini-plug jacks.
The tip is positive (+) and sleeve is negative (-).
This allows for the connection of an external pag­ing or muting device. Note: The CAA66 will not
accept a paging audio input; however, if used
with an independent paging system with 12V trig­ger out, that can be used to trigger the mute.

12VDC System Trigger Out

Trigger Out 12VDC output is used for triggering
an external amplifier or other component. The
connections for the output are made using a
two-conductor cable with 1/8” male mini-plug
jacks at each end. The tip is positive (+) and
sleeve is negative (-). The System Trigger Out
supplies 12VDC when the first keypad is turned
on. The 12 VDC is removed 5 minutes after the
last keypad is turned off.

Controller Link In/Out

The Controller Link In and Link Out can be used
to connect up to six CAA66 controllers. The con­nection is made using a CAT-5 patch cable from
the Link Out of the master CAA66 and into the
Link In of the next controller. Along with data sig­nals, the Controller Link In and Link Out jack
passes the six source IR signals. The CAT-5
patch cable should not exceed 18 inches in
length to avoid potential cross-talk between the
source-specific IR repeating signal lines.

Note: If two or more CAA66 controllers will be
connected using the Controller Link In and Link
Out ports, each controller must have a unique
Controller ID prior to being connected through
the Link In and Out ports. The Controller ID
assignment must be performed during the
Controller Setup section of the Installation menu.

The CAA66 supports RS-232 communication
with various third party automation systems or
PC for control and firmware updates of the con­troller. The RS-232 com port is located on the
back of the CAA66 and uses a DB-9 cable con­nection.

For firmware updates, be sure the CPU Update
switch next to the the RS232 interface is set in
the “Update” position.

For RS-232 protocol, firmware updates and the
backup PC application, see the Document

Before proceeding to the system programming section, it’s important to conduct an initial test to
determine that the hardware components are working properly.

1. Connect the speaker wires from Zone #1 to the CAA66 Zone #1 speaker output connectors.

2. Connect a keypad (KP6, KPL) to Keypad Port #1 on the rear of the CAA66.

3. Connect a source to the Source #1 Input on the CAA66 using RCA Audio patch cables.

4. Plug an 845.1 IR emitter into the Source #1 IR Output Jack and adhere the emitter end to the

source equipment’s IR window.

5. Plug in the main power cords for the CAA66 and the source.

6. Turn on the main power switch on the CAA66 and the source.

7. Manually command the source to provide audio or use the source remote control.

8. Press the power button on the KP6 or KPL keypad and select Source #1.

9. To be sure of proper placement of the IR emitter on the source component, aim the source

remote control at the keypad for Source #1 and try to control the source. Adjust the emitter over
the source’s IR receiver if necessary.

Congratulations – you should now hear the source through the speakers in Zone #1.

If there is no sound, follow these diagnostic steps:

1. Check the source to see that it is operating properly.

2. Check the RCA Audio cable connections from the source to the Source #1 Input on the CAA66.

3. Check the speaker connections and verify that they are correct and are connected to the

Zone #1 speaker outputs.

4. Check to see that the keypad is connected to the Zone #1 Keypad Port and verify the CAT-5 is
properly terminated at both ends.

If none of these steps produce successful results, call Russound Tech Support for further assistance.
