XDM4600 Introduction The XDM4600 Xtreme Digital Music system is an expandable, integrated digital audio distribution system. It offers music and intercom functions to four zones (expandable to eight) and allows communication with visitors at the front door as well. The four zones, the door station, and six audio sources connect to a single Central Controller.
XDM4600 IR Remote IR Emitters The Universal Remote Control (XDM46R) is used to control the audio sources. It is preprogrammed to control the volume of the Zone Keypads, accepts programmed macros and can control the audio equipment directly or remotely through a Zone Keypad. The IR Emitters (XDMIRE) connect the Central Controller IR output to the audio equipment IR eye so the IR Remote can be used to control that equipment from the Zone Keypads. (Extra emitters can be purchased in packages of six.
XDM4600 The following optional components can be purchased separately: Expansion Hub Local Audio Source Wall Plate The Expansion Hub (XDM46EH) connects to the Central Controller and expands the number of zones to eight. The Zone Wall Plate (XDMWP) allows a local audio source to be connected to the local Zone Keypad.

XDM4600 Installing the XDM4600KIT Introduction Designed for installation in new homes, the XDM4600 provides six sources of audio/music to four zones (expandable to eight with the optional Expansion Hub that can be purchased separately). If you follow the step-by-step illustrated instruction in this section, the result will be a successful professional-quality installation. If you need help with troubleshooting, please call our technical staff at 1800-366-9422.
XDM4600 Figure 5—Sample House Plans for XDM4600KIT Installation: 8 Zones Layout Considerations Plan where you will install the various components: • Determine where the speakers in each zone will be located. − Consider sound distribution − • If the speakers are to be installed in a wall, make sure they don’t share a stud cavity with speakers in other rooms. Determine the location in each room/zone for the keypad. − Consider convenient access, both manually and with the remote.
XDM4600 • • • • • Do not exceed 300 feet of CAT-5/16-gauge, 2-conductor wire run from the Central Controller to any Zone Keypad. Label all wiring runs. The Zone Keypads and the Door Station both use CAT-5 wiring, but they use different signals and voltages. Label the CAT-5 wiring, 18-gauge speaker wire and 16-gauge, 2conductor power wire to prevent Zone Keypad wires from being connected to the Door Station port, or the Zone power cable from being plugged into the Zone speaker port. Do not staple wires.
XDM4600 Figure 7—XDM4600KIT Wiring Scheme. NOTE for detailed Keypad wiring refer to figure 10 under installing zone keypad section of the manual. Figure 7 shows the system wiring schematic for the Central Controller (XDM46CC), four Zone Keypads (XDM46K) and their speaker pairs. How to read the schematic: • CAT-5 cables are shown connecting the Central Controller to the Zone Keypads and the Door Station.
XDM4600 Location Considerations • • • • Do not place anything on top of the Central Controller that will interfere with the airflow out of the vents. Do not place the Central Controller near any strong heat source such as a heating vent or a heating element. Place the Central Controller as close as possible to the audio components. Make sure the audio components can easily be connected to the back of the Central Controller. Place the Central Controller within six feet of a household power outlet.
XDM4600 Figure 8—Wiring for Audio Sources and IR Emitters Locate the source inputs on the back of the Central Controller and connect the appropriate audio source cables. Connect each source output, left and right, using quality audio source cables. • Line-level audio cables carrying audio to the Central Controller are shown connecting the audio sources to the Central Controller.
XDM4600 Installing the Zone Keypads Location Considerations • • • • Do not install the electrical box in non-climate controlled locations such as outside the house, in outside walls, or in a garage. Do not install the electrical box in stud cavities that contain other wiring, ductwork, air-return cavities, piping, etc. Do not install the electrical box within 18 inches of dimmers, fluorescent light fixtures, security wiring, or other control wiring.
XDM4600 Finishing the Zone Keypads Figure 10—Zone Keypad Wiring Figure 10 shows the wiring hookups for the backside connectors of the Zone Keypad (XDM46K). How to read the schematic: 1. The 16-gauge (power) and 18-gauge (for the speakers), 2-conductor wires attach to the 1x6 connector.
XDM4600 • • • • DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge power wire with the 18-gauge speaker wires. Crossing these wires will result in damage to the speakers and zone keypads. Insert the Zone Keypad into the rough-in box. Make sure that none of the cables are pinched and all are clear of the box. Screw the Zone Keypad into place using the 4 screws included with each unit. Snap the faceplate into place. The faceplates are interchangeable and they snap on and off easily.
XDM4600 Figure 11—Door Station Wiring Figure 11 shows the wiring hookups for the Door Station (DS3B2). The color-coded wires of the Door Station and the CAT-5 cable are matched up and attached with wire nuts. An ME3 back box is required for the DS3B2 and must be installed at rough in. Installing the Expansion Hub The Expansion Hub is available as an optional component. It expands your system to eight zones.
XDM4600 Rough-In Considerations • • • • • Keep all Expansion Hub wiring away from 120/240V wires, security, dimmers, and other control wiring. Allow enough length on all wires to reach an Expansion Hub located ten feet away from the wall port. Label all CAT-5 wiring: Zone 5, Zone 6, Zone 7, and Zone 8. DO NOT confuse the Zone CAT-5 wires with the Door Station CAT-5 wires.
XDM4600 • The 1x8 power connector attaches to the 16-gauge, 2-conductor wire that provides power to each of the Zone Keypads. The connector label shows the proper positions. Solid red indicates the location of the positive wires and striped red indicates the location of the negative wires. • The four 1x4 connectors attach to two of the four CAT-5 twisted pair wires and carry data between the Expansion Hub and the Zone Keypads. The unused wires are cut off.
XDM4600 Installing a Local Audio Source Wall Plate With the optional Wall Plate, you can connect a local audio source; such as a child’s own CD player or television, to the local Zone Keypad. Audio from the local source is accessible through the local Zone Keypad only. It is not available for Party Mode. See Figure 14 for a wiring schematic.
