SPEAKER WIRE TERMINATION
Install the four supplied phoenix connectors into the audio zone outputs on 
the AD-4. Connect the positive and negative wires for each audio channel 
output, keeping the proper orientation of positive and negative signal for 
each speaker connection. Typically, two-conductor speaker wire uses red to 
denote positive and black to denote negative. Some types of wire indicate 
positive with a line running through the insulation. Four-conductor wire can 
also be used. This has four separated wires in one outer jacket, making 
it possible to run a single speaker wire to a zone for its pair of speakers. 
This type of wire typically uses red and black for one speaker and white as 
positive and green as negative for the second speaker.
IR CONTROL OF AD-4
A discrete set of IR codes is available within the RTI Integration Designer 
programming software or on the RTI website (accessible to RTI dealers 
only). A 3.5mm mono mini jack labelled CTRL IN is located on the rear 
of the AD-4 and an IR receiver is located on the front panel for wireless 
control.
RS-232 CONTROL OF AD-4
A DB-9 jack offers RS-232 control of the AD-4 from an RTI or third-party 
home automation control system or a PC running a hyperterminal program. 
A set of RS-232 codes is available within the RTI Integration Designer 
programming software or on the RTI website (accessible to RTI dealers 
only).
