Chaining Multiple CT
-1’s
Multiple CT-1 IR Integrators can be combined for very large systems. A total of 11 CT-1’s can be chained
together to form 126 independent stereo zones. This allows two way IR control of the entire CT system and
each of the nine shared source devices. Each multi-linked CT-1 will accommodate a maximum of two CT
receivers with the exception of the first CT-1 in the chain (See diagram). The first CT-1 will supply control to
three CT Receivers. Using this method will allow IR routing from any of the 126 potential independent zones
to any of the nine shared sources in addition to whole house and group commands. The diagram shown to
illustrates seven CT receivers linked
together (42 stereo zones).
Always connect all 9 IR flashers from the
CT receiver(s) to the CT-1. All jacks use
an 1/8” mono mini connector. All nine
connectors are needed for proper IR routing
when the dedicated inputs or the tuner is
selected.
IR is passed between CT-1s using the CT3
CHAIN OUT to FLASHER CHAIN IN. IR
data can pass from CT-1 #1 to CT-1 #3 and
visa versa using this method. Additional CT-
1s should be added at the bottom of this
chain by continuing the method shown.
Source devices are always connected to the
last CT-1 in the chain. A maximum of 11 CT-
1s can be chained together.
Please refer to our website for additional information pertaining to specific installation scenarios and
programming the system keypads.
