2. Connect the audio and video Output jacks on each of the audio/video source components to the
SOURCE INPUTS jacks on the ZPR68-10.
Use high quality audio and video RCA-type patch cords.
3. Place a model 283M Blink-IR Emitter on the IR sensor window of each source component, and plug
them into the IR OUT on the appropriate GATEKEEP-IR modules. Connect one of the COMMON IR
OUTPUTS on the ZPR68-10 to the IR IN of the GMM1A module on the GATEKEEP-IR.
4. In cases where you may connect emitters directly to the COMMON IR OUTPUTS, you may need to
change the COMMON IR LEVEL DIP switch settings (item #1). To do so, remove Cover Panel (item
#15). All are set to the LO position at factory.
Consider the following factors when choosing HIgh or LOw power settings for the source emitters:
a) In the majority of cases, when you mount an emitter on the IR sensor window of the controlled
device, you would use the LOw power mode. This prevents overload of high gain sensor circuits,
for best operation.
b) The HIgh power mode may be used when you mount the high output 282M emitters on an adjacent
shelf or door a short distance from the unit's sensor. Another instance is when you place an emitter
inside the device, but cannot place it close to the IR sensor. In such cases, you may need the high
power setting to blast through printed circuit boards or around chassis structures, etc. In addition,
when using the lower output 283M and 286M Blink IR's, you may need the high power mode for
some devices that have less sensitive IR sensors.
5. Connect the common CO and G terminals (item #11, located just under the POWER indicator) to the
REMOTE ON/OFF inputs on the two PA640 Power Amplifiers and to the + and – terminals of the
GMM1A Module of the GATEKEEP-IR.
You may use two of the Xantech part #6015900 five foot 2-conductor cables (3.5mm mini plug on one
end and stripped tinned ends on the other) for connection to the PA640's. Connect the white-striped
side to CO and the other to G.
6. Connect the AUDIO L and R ZONE OUTPUT jacks on the ZPR68-10 to the CH1, CH2, etc., LINE
INPUT jacks on each of the PA640 Power Amplifiers.
Use high quality audio RCA type patch cords. You may connect the L channels from the ZONE
OUTPUTS on the ZPR68-10 to CH1, CH3 & CH5, respectively, on the PA640 's and the R channels
to CH2, CH4 & CH6. Be sure to follow this through when connecting the speaker leads so that the L
and R channels are correctly connected to the Left and Right speakers in the rooms.
7. Connect the VIDEO outputs from Zones 3 and 6 to a Video Input on the TV monitors in zone rooms
3 and 6.
Use RG-6 coaxial cable with RCA type phono plugs on each end. You may need to adjust the Video
Gain on the zone cards if you have coaxial cable runs greater than 150 feet. See Fig. 4 for details.
8. Connect the VIDEO outputs from Zones 2 and 4 to the Video Inputs of a 2-Input Modulator.
Use high quality RCA type video patch cords.
9. Make the necessary connections of the Modulator to the Combiner, Cable System, Splitter, etc.
Use RG-6 coaxial cable with "F" connectors on each end to connect each device, including the coaxial
cables going to the RF IN on the room TV's in Zones 2 and 5.
10. Connect the speaker leads from each Zone room to the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals on the
PA640 Power Amplifiers.
Be sure to observe correct L and R channel assignment and speaker phasing (+ and –). Use 14 gauge
speaker wire for lengths up to 200 feet.
11. Plug the Power Supply (included with the ZPR68-10) into the DIN jack marked POWER SUPPLY (item
#10).
