To connect a device to the Pluggable Terminal Block:
1. Insert one of the wires required for your device into
the appropriate opening in the Pluggable Terminal
Block you reserved for that device (refer to Table 2-1
on page 14).
For example, if you were adding a motion sensor, you
would connect its wires to the following Contact
openings: power input to +12V output signal to SIG,
and ground connector to GND. See the sections that
follow for instruction on connecting the various
protocols.
2. Tighten the screw for that opening.
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for all wires required for your
device.
NOTE: When you connect dry contact closure devices,
such as door switches, connect the switch between +12V
(Power) and SIG (Signal).
Connect to the Contact Port
The Home Theater Controller provides one contact port
as a subset of the pluggable terminal block provided. See
the following figures to determine how to connect the
device to a contact port.
