REMOTE MOUNTING
The ZR 1 and PR 2 remote assemblies mount in a standard
U.S. electrical box with a minimum depth of 2.25". Be sure to
note the wire color of each input in order to facilitate correct
wiring to the CP 64. Connect each wire to the 5-pin connector
by fully inserting it in the correct socket and tightening the
screw. Make sure wires are free of nicks and that the cable
jacket is stripped back sufficiently to allow it to lie in the
electrical box with the remote assembly inserted. Use the flat
head #6 screws supplied with the kit to mount the remote
assembly and silk-screened front panel to the electrical box
(see above diagram). Note the “UP” arrow screened on the
printed circuit board of each remote (it should mount pointing
up).
The silk-screened front panel metal is painted on both
sides. This allows you to custom silk-screen the panel or add
your own custom decals. Simply install the modified front
panel with your art facing out, and you are in business!
Install each knob so that the line on the knob is properly
aligned with the silk-screening on the front panel of the
remote assembly. Install any Decora plate of your choice. For
a secured installation, you may wish to leave the knobs off
and use a blank Decora plate to cover the remote after
adjustment.
WIRE TYPES
Variations in wire type do not greatly affect the perfor-
mance of the remote controls. However, 22-gauge stranded
wire with a flexible jacket is recommended. You may use 5-
conductor unshielded remote control signal cable for shorter
runs (less than 200 ft.) or 4-conductor (2 pair) shielded
remote control signal cable (use the shield as the GND return)
for longer runs (200 to 1000 ft.). The type of wire required is
influenced by your installation and local electrical codes.
Rane Corporation does not provide or source cable. Please
contact your local retail or wholesale outlet, not the factory.
