DESCRIPTION
The Remote Input Module (RIM) is a remote audio input and infrared output module designed to be
installed in rooms that will have music sources. An audio source is connected directly to the RIM, which
allows that music to be shared with any audio zone in the house. Each RIM ships with an IR asher that
is used for sending IR data to source equipment. When you point your source equipment remote control
at the IR receiver in a VSC and send a signal, the IR data is routed to the appropriate RIM (to which
the source is logically connected), which then sends the IR signal through the IR asher to the source
equipment.
INSTALLATION
Remote Input Modules connect directly to the Hi-Fi2 Main Assembly using Cat 5, unshielded, twisted pair
(UTP) for communications. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector. The correct wiring
scheme for the Cat 5 cable is standard EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the Cat 5 cable is crucial for the
operation of the system.
It is best that no single run of Cat 5 exceeds 500 feet.
Insert the RJ45 connector on one end of the cable to the respective source input jack (1-8) under “Remote
Audio In / IR Out” on the Hi-Fi2 Main Assembly. Insert the RJ45 connector on the other end of the cable to
the jack labeled “Remote Audio” on the RIM.
CHANGING THE COLOR OF THE RIM
The color of the RIM may be changed to complement the interior décor. The RIM is supplied with a white
faceplate and insert. Additional colors are
available; contact your Leviton distributor
for more information. Change the color of
the RIM as follows:
1. Remove the faceplate.
2. The insert attaches to the RIM with two
latches on the right and two on the left.
Using a small-blade screwdriver, gently
depress each latch on one side while
lifting up on the insert. Once the latches
are released on one side, remove the
insert from the other side.
3. Align the latches of the new insert to the
openings on the RIM and gently snap
into place.
4. Attach the new faceplate.
