ZONE PRE-AMP OUTPUTS (CA4.4PI ONLY)
In applications where more power than the 20 watts per
channel is desired, connect one or more zones of the CA4.4pi
to an external amplifier. Using standard RCA connectors,
wire from the pre-amp outputs of the CA4.4pi to the ampli-
fier's inputs. A typical application for more power is when
connecting an outside zone where the audio power require-
ments would be much greater than an inside zone.

12-VOLT TRIGGER OUTPUT
The 12 volt trigger is engaged when any of the zones are on
and disengaged when the last zone is turned off. The trigger
can be used to engage any 12 volt triggered accessory, such
as a triggered AC outlet or audio amplifier. The connection
for the trigger is made through an 1/8” male mini-plug jack.
The tip is (+) and sleeve is (-).

MUTE INPUT (CA4.4PI ONLY)
When used with the optional Doorbell or Telephone inter-
face, the Mute Input mutes the audio to the speakers for six
seconds when either the doorbell is used or when the tele-
phone rings. The connection for the Mute Input is made
through a 1/8” male mini-plug. The tip is (+) and the sleeve
is (-).

CONNECTING THE INFRARED COMPONENTS
• In order for your CA to transmit the IR signal from the
keypads to a source, an emitter must be connected from
the IR outputs marked 1-4. Each of these outputs is wired
in series and must be connected in consecutive order. For
example, the #1 emitter output must be connected in
order for the #2 emitter output to transmit the IR com-
mand. NOTE: All IR outputs are common
• Connect each 845.1 mini-emitter to the IR output.
• Remove the adhesive back and position the IR receiver on
the product you wish to control. Stick the 845.1 emitter
directly over the source components IR window.

IR REMODULATOR 56K (INCLUDED ACCESSORY)
The IR Remodulator
56K converts 40KHz IR
signals to 56KHz. The
IR Remodulator takes
a 40KHz IR signal that
comes from the IR
remote output of the
CA system and remod-
ulates it at 56KHz.
This allows some com-
ponents that may only
accept 56KHz to be
remotely controlled with optimum performance. Refer to IR
56K Remodulator Instruction Manual for full connection
instructions.
CONNECTING THE IR LINK
When two CA Controllers are to be used in an installation,
the IR Link connection is used to pass IR signal between the
two units. Use a 1/8” mini-plug, male-to-male cable (includ-
ed) connected from the IR Link on the first CA Controller to
the IR Link on the second CA. When connected, you may
connect your IR emitters to either CA unit’s IR Remote
Output jacks.
