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.
Figure 1 — XDM4600KIT Components 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.
XDM4600 Figure 2 — Optional Components Local Audio Source Wall Plate Expansion Hub 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. System Specifications • Frequency Response: 20hz – 20KHz, +/- 0.5db max • Total Harmonic Distortion: .
USING THE XDM4600 Zone Keypad (XDM46K) From any Zone Keypad, you can talk and listen on the intercom, and you can control the music for the entire system (party mode) or for the local zone only. With the universal Remote Control (XDM46R), you can control all audio sources from a Zone Keypad. Power The POWER button on a Zone Keypad allows a user at a zone to turn the audio source on and off for the entire system, or turn the audio source on and off at the local zone only.
XDM4600 PRIVACY MODE ADDENDUM Privacy Mode From any zone keypad you can initiate privacy mode by pressing the volume up and down buttons simultaneously. Once privacy is enabled the back light of the volume up and down buttons will be more intense signifying that privacy mode is active. To remove privacy mode from any zone keypad depress the volume up and down buttons simultaneously. The back lighting of the volume up and down buttons will become intense signifying this mode has ended.

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 1-800-366-9422.
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 System Wiring Considerations • Use both CAT-5 and 16-gauge, 2-conductor wires for all runs from the Central Controller to the Zone Keypads. • Use CAT-5 wires for the run from the Central Controller to the Door Station. • Use 18-gauge, 2-conductor wire for all runs from the Zone Keypads to the speakers. • When wiring the keypad, DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge, 2-conductor power wire that goes to the Central Controller with the 18-gauge, 2-conductor wires that go to the speakers.
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 Installing the Central Controller The Central Controller has six analog audio inputs for sourcing music to the system. Communication between the Controller and the zones is digital. 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.
Figure 8—Wiring for Audio Sources and IR Emitters • Line-level audio cables carrying audio to the Central Controller are shown connecting the audio sources to the Central Controller. • Line-level audio cables carrying audio out from the Central Controller are shown connecting the Central Controller to the tuner audio component. The Emitters are plugged into the IR Emitter ports on the back of the Central Controller as shown in Figure 8.
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.
• The CAT-5 wire for communication and the line-level in/out enter the electrical box on the right side, when you are looking into the box. NOTE two cat 5 cables are needed when using the local wall source in that zone, one for communication and one for the local line-level in/out. • Label all wiring: Power, right speaker, left speaker, line-level in, and line-level out. • Knot or fasten all wires in some manner to prevent them from slipping out through the back of the electrical box.
XDM4600 How to Make the Connections • Carefully strip insulation on wires from 3/16 to 1/4 inch. Do not strip more than 1/4 inch of insulation off of wire. Strip approximately 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire conductor. • Attach all wires to their specific location as labeled on the connectors and as shown in the wiring connection detail. • 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.
Installing the Door Station • Run CAT-5 wire from the Door Station to the Central Controller location. • The recommended height for Door Station rough-in box is 48-inches from the ground to the bottom of the box. • An ME 3 back box is required for new construction. It is shipped separately. 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.
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.
How to read the schematic for figure 12 (pg.20): • 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.
