ZONE OUT

The ZONE OUT RJ-45 connectors interface with DHTP1 Ampliﬁ ed Touchpad Controllers through
Cat-5 cables wired to the T-568A Standard. These connectors carry IR information from the
Touch Pads as well as audio information to the Touch Pads. Status information is also carried
between the DH44/DH46X chassis and the Touch Pads. While a great deal of information is
handled by the ZONE OUT connections, the connections are straightforward. Simply connect
Cat-5 cables terminated to the T-568A conﬁ guration (Figure 3-3) from each touchpad to the
corresponding ZONE OUT connector as shown in Figure 3-4.

Note: For wire runs up to 150', the Cat-5 connections are all that is necessary. For wire
runs over 150', use the AUX POWER OUT connectors as described in the section entitled

Auxiliary Power Connector (AUX POWER OUT).
