INSTALLATION

Installation of the On-Q/Legrand lyriQ™ Zone Expander and related components, may be accomplished at
multiple times during new construction, (at “Rough-in” before the drywall is installed, and at “Trim-out” after
the drywall is installed and painted), or as an upgrade to an existing lyriQ™ Multi-source system to expand its
support from 8 to 16 output zones (see Figure 2).
IMPORTANT: Read the documentation that is included with all associated lyriQ™ Audio products
before installation of any single component! If you are unsure of any of the following installation
procedures contact On-Q/Legrand Technical Support @ 1-800-321-2343 option 1 or contact an On-
Q/Legrand installer.
NOTE: To provide ultimate flexibility, run three Category 5 cables from the lyriQ™ Source Input area
(such as the Entertainment Center area) to the lyriQ™ Zone Expander in the enclosure. Also, run a
16/4 speaker cable, along with the Category 5 cable, from the lyriQ™ Four Source, Eight Zone
Distribution Modules to each Keypad Volume Control location to support the power requirements now
or in the future for High Performance lyriQ™ Keypad Volume Controls. Of course you will also need a
16/2 cable to each speaker from the Keypad Volume Control.

A. "ROUGH-IN" STEPS

1. Run three Category 5 cables to the enclosure from the room location containing the lyriQ™ Source

Inputs (typically the entertainment center location).

2. Run Category 5 cables with 16/4 speaker cables to the enclosure from each room that will contain the

lyriQ™ Keypad Volume Controls.

NOTE: Always follow TIA-570-B wiring standards for installing and terminating Category 5 cable.
Failure to follow the correct wiring standard could result in damaged equipment and/or electrical
interference issues.
NOTE: Maintain a minimum 12” separation between Category 5 cable and any 120VAC cabling.
NOTE: The 16/4 speaker cable is for support of the power requirements of the High Performance
lyriQ™ Keypad Volume Controls

B. "TRIM-OUT" STEPS

1. At the location of the lyriQ™ Single Source Input, if it is a Flush-mount version (P/N AU1004-xx),

terminate one of the Category 5 cables with an RJ-45 Plug using the T568A wiring standard, then
plug it into the back of the Flush-mount Single Source Input and mount it in the low voltage bracket or
electrical box. If it is a standalone version (P/N AU7398), pull the Category 5 cable from the enclosure
through the low voltage bracket or electrical box, and terminate it on an RJ-45 insert, then snap it into
a wall plate which is mounted to the low voltage bracket or electrical box.

2. At the location of the Triple Source Input, if it is a Flush-mount version (P/N AU1011-xx), terminate

two of the Category 5 cables with RJ-45 Plugs using the T568A wiring standard, then plug them into
the back of the Flush-mount Triple Source Input and mount it in the low voltage bracket or electrical
box and cover with a wall plate. If it is a standalone version (P/N AU7428), pull two Category 5 cables
from the enclosure through the low voltage bracket or electrical box, and terminate them on RJ-45
inserts, then snap them into a wall plate which is mounted to the low voltage bracket or electrical box.
Then run Category 5 jumpers from wall plate to the Triple Source Input.

NOTE: The lyriQ™ Four Source, Eight Zone Distribution Module has three source input jacks
labeled “Single” and “Multi A and B”. It is very important that the Category 5 cables from the
Source Inputs are run from the correct source to the correct jack. Also make sure that no Power
Supplies are connected to the Distribution Module before performing the next steps.
