ROTEL RHB-200 - Manual (Page 8)

8 RKP-200/RHB-200
+12V DC input
The power connector receives +12V signal when
AC power supply is plugged into a wall outlet.
Clone Input
RJ-45 modular jack accepts CAT-5 cable from
keypad during cloning configuration.
Zone Inputs
Four RJ-45 modular jacks accept CAT-5 cables
from keypads in up to four zones.
Zone IR Outputs
Four 3.5mm mini-jacks send IR signals to the zone
IR inputs on a Rotel receiver.
Common IR Outputs
Six 3.5mm mini-jacks send IR signals to source
components, either to a direct-wired connection
(Rotel components) or to an IR emitter.
Connecting the system
Master keypads in up to four remote zones con-
nect to a centrally-located RHB-200 Connecting
Hub using standard Category 5 Ethernet-style ca-
bling and 8-pin RJ-45 modular plugs. A second
keypad can be added in each of the four zones,
if desired. The second keypad is connected to the
master keypad in its zone and provides duplicate
functions from a second location.
Cable selection
Run 8-conductor CAT-5 Ethernet cabling from each
keypad location to the RHB-200 Connecting Hub.
Terminate each end of the cables with standard 8-
pin RJ-45 modular plugs. Use a “straight-through”
wiring code, with the same color wire connected
to the same pin on every plug as shown below. If
your cable has different color codes, make sure to
wire every modular plug in the same order.

Connecting Master Keypads
See Figure 3
The first keypad in each zone is designated as the
master keypad. All master keypads connect directly
to the RHB-200 Connecting Hub as follows.
1. For Zone 1, connect one end of the cable to
the ZONE OUT modular jack on the back of
the master keypad.
2. Connect the other end to the ZONE 1 modular
jack on the RHB-200 Connecting Hub.
3. Repeat for the master keypads in Zones 2, 3,
and 4, using the ZONE 2, ZONE 3, and ZONE
4 modular jacks on the RHB-200.
The master keypads are shown in normal shading
on the illustration.
Connecting a Second Keypad
See Figure 3
An optional second keypad in each zone is des-
ignated as a slave keypad. Slave keypads always
connect to the master keypad in the zone:
1. Connect one end of a Category 5 Ethernet
cable from the ZONE OUT modular jack on
the slave keypad.
2. Connect the other end to the ZONE IN jack
on the master keypad.
3. Repeat for the master keypads in Zones 2, 3,
and 4, using the ZONE 2, ZONE 3, and ZONE
4 modular jacks on the RHB-200.
Optional slave keypads are shown in lighter shad-
ing on the illustration.
