Mounting the Keypads
Once all of the keypads are connected, pro-
grammed, and tested, finish the installation by
installing them into electrical boxes.
NOTE
:
Purchase decorative switchplate covers to
match those used in the room for light switches.
The RKB-200 is not supplied with decorative
switch plate covers because there is no way to
know which style or color will match in custom
installations.
The exact installation steps may vary depending
on the style of switch plate covers you purchase.
However, here is a typical installation method us-
ing Decora
®
style covers:
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the back
of the decorative cover.
2. Place the mounting bracket over the electrical
box.
3. Place the keypad through the mounting bracket
and into the electrical box.
4. Place two screws through the mounting tabs on
the keypad and through the mounting bracket
to secure the keypad. Do not overtighten.
5. Place the decorative cover over the keypad
and press in at the top and bottom until se-
cure. There is a small slot in one edge of the
decorative cover. Orient the cover so this slot
is facing down.
NOTE
:
Do not mount the keypads until all program-
ming steps are complete and the system has been
tested. Access to DIP switches at the back of the
keypads is necessary during programming.
Connecting the RHB-200
to a Rotel Receiver
See Figure 4
The RHB-200 connecting hub sends command
codes to a Rotel multi-zone receiver using infra-
red commands. The connections are made using
two-conductor cables with 3.5mm mono mini
plugs on both ends. One cable is needed for
each zone with a keypad, up to a max of four.
A Rotel RX-1052 multi-zone receiver is shown in
the example:
1. Plug one end of the first cable into the ZONE 1
IR OUT connector on back of the RHB-200.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the zone
1 IR input on the receiver, labeled EXT REM
IR IN on the Rotel RX-1052.
3. Repeat for any additional zones, matching
the ZONE 2 IR OUT on the RHB-200 to the
ZONE 2 IR IN on the receiver, etc.
Connecting the RHB-200
to Source Components
See Figure 4
The RHB-200 connecting hub sends command
codes to source components (such as CD play-
ers) using infrared commands. With most Rotel
source components, connections are made us-
ing two-conductor cables with 3.5mm mono mini
plugs on both ends. One cable is needed for each
source component.
1. Plug one end of the cable for the first Rotel
source component into any of the COMMON
IR OUT connectors on back of the RHB-200.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the EXT
REM IN IR input on first source component.
3. Repeat for any source components, using any
available COMMON IR OUT connectors on
the RHB-200.
NOTE
:
If your source component does not have
an input for a hard-wired IR cable, you can use
an industry standard IR emitter placed in front of
the source component’s infrared remote sensor.
Connect the other end of cable to a COMMON
IR OUT connector on the RHB-200. This type
of source component is shown at the bottom of
Figure 4.
AC Power connection
Once all of the keypad and IR connections are
complete, supply power to the RHB-200.
1. Plug the connector from the supplied AC
adaptor into the +12V input on the back of
the RHB-200.
2. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC power wall
outlet.
