MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 5 SYSTEM PLANNING CONTROLLER LOCATION Consider all of the flowing when planning the Controller location: 1. The MRC88 depends on the natural free flow of ai r up through the slot perforations in the bottom plate, over the internal heat di ssipating fins, then out the top cover, f or adequate cooling.
MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 6 MOUNTING THE KEYPAD Keypad Location • The MRC88 Keypad should be mounted in a convenient location, typically near the entrance to a room where other room controls su ch as light switches are located.
MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 7 KEYPAD CABLE LENGTH The maximum cable length for MRC88 conn ection to a single keypad is 500 feet (152m) over CAT5 cable. • Zone Keypad CAT5 cables should be pulled in home-runs from the keypad locations to the MRC88 Controller.
MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 8 SPEAKER WIRE LENGTH The maximum wire length for Zone Speaker connections is 150’ (39m) over 14AWG stranded wire. • Speaker wire should be pulled in home-runs from the speaker locations to the MRC88 Controller, two pair for each zone.
MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 9 VIDEO DISPLAY CABLE LENGTH (MRC88) The maximum coaxial cable length for Zone Video Output is 150’ over RG6 quad-shield cable. • Coax for zone video should be pull ed in home-runs from the zone video display locations to the MRC88.
MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 10 PREPARATION – WIRING CAUTION: Power voltage for the keypad is transmitted along the CAT5 cable! Incorrect wiring on this cable can destroy the MRC Key pad! TERMINATING THE CAT5 CABLES All MRC88 CAT5/RJ45 connections utiliz e the EIA/TIA 568B Standard pin-out as shown in Figure 7 .
MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 11 Test the cable connections us ing a proper CAT5 cable tester or use a multimeter to check pin to pin cont inuity and for possible shorts. Using either method, it is advisable to measure pins 3 and 6 to verify proper voltage.
MRC88 / MRAUDIO8X8 QUICK STA RT GUIDE 08905142A 12 SOURCE CONNECTIONS Be sure the MRC88 power is off and the unit is disconnected the from the AC supply when making connections to avoid potential electrical shock and damage to the MRC88, the Keypads, Sources and Speaker components.
