2. System Design Overview/Applications
Planning
Before installing the D5XH, it is essential to have a detailed and accurate system design. The first
step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan
with speaker, keypad and equipment locations, etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon
before pre-wiring so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place.
It is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage. After
establishing design goals, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment,
Keypads, expansion Routers, local source wall plates, IR emitters, etc.
