Installing Remote Input Modules (RIM)
All audio sources are connected directly to Remote Input Modules (RIM) in rooms that will have music
sources. Remote Input Modules connect directly to the Hi-Fi Main Assembly using Cat 5, unshielded,
twisted pair (UTP) for communications. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.
The correct wiring scheme for the Cat 5 cable is standard EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the
Cat 5 cable is crucial for the operation of the system.
It is best that no single run of Cat 5 exceeds 500 feet.
Insert the RJ45 connector on one end of the cable to the respective source input jack (1-6) under
“Remote Audio In / IR Out” on the Hi-Fi Main Assembly. Insert the RJ45 connector on the other end of
the cable to the jack labeled “Remote Audio” on the RIM.
Changing the Color of the RIM
The color of the RIM may be changed to complement the interior décor. The RIM is supplied with a
white faceplate and insert. Additional colors are available; contact your HAI distributor for more
information. Change the color of the RIM as follows:
