3. Connections
The D5XH is part of an integrated system that requires the use of other components. Depending on
the system design, these components may include:
D5KP Amplified Keypad - at least one per zone required
D5IP Source Input Wall Plates - one per zone where a Local Source is desired
D5RH Hub – Main 4x4 Digital Distribution System Hub
Xantech Outdoor, Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers
Xantech IR Emitters and accessories
This section describes the connectivity between these various components and the source audio
components that comprise the system. Each D5RH/D5XH system is unique, and not all connections
will be made in every installation.
Important Safety Note: Make sure that the D5XH is powered OFF before making any connections.
Source Loop Inputs (SOURCE LOOP IN)
The Source Loop Inputs are used primarily when adding D5XH Routers to a D5RH in order to create
more than four zones. These connectors carry Audio, and IR information between the units and allow
seamless functionality in all areas of the home with no complicated cross-wiring, splicing or
specialized adapters needed. When adding a D5XH Router to a D5RH system, simply connect Cat-5
Patch Cables (included with the D5XH) from the SOURCE LOOP OUTs of the D5RH to the SOURCE
LOOP INs of the D5XH as shown in Figure 3-1. Complete connections for expanded systems are
described in the section entitled Multi-Chassis Connections.
