INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

1. During the rough-in phase, install speaker wire for the speakers and Cat5 cable for keypads, in each

zone.

2. Also during the rough-in phase, run a two Cat5 wires from the location of the ACA-E5 back to the

Network Assembly of the ELAN system for RS-232 communications. Refer to the RS-232

Connection Options Integration Note for other options.

Note: The second Cat-5 is required for connection to the Ethernet Switch if you will be controlling a

SMS3 from the ACA-E5 keypads, and may also be used for programming the ACA-E5.

3. Mount the speakers and keypads in each zone, and install the ACA-E5/ZXP-E5 and the sources.

4. Program the ACA-E5/ZXP-E5. This includes setting the number of sources, the names for each

source, and the IR codes for each source. Note: Disconnect the serial connection to ELAN prior to

programming the unit. The ACA-E5 may be programmed via USB, Serial or Ethernet.

5. If you have multiple ACA-E5/ZXP-E5 units in the system, remember to set the Controller Number for

the first ACA-E5 to 1, the second to 2 and so on.

6. Test the entire ACA-E5/ZXP-E5 system to ensure that all the sources play correctly in every zone,

and that the keypad buttons behave correctly from the keypads.

7. If the system includes one or more RNet devices (such as the ST2 tuner), they should be connected

to the ACA-E5 with RNet according to the standard Russound procedure.

8. Connect the ELAN system to the ACA-E5 system electrically. See the wiring diagrams for more

information. If the system includes multiple ACA-E5/ZXP-E5 units or other RNet components (such

as the ST2 tuner), only the first ACA-E5 is connected to the ELAN system. Other equipment will be

controlled via RNet and do not require additional serial connections.

9. If the system includes an RNet tuner, such as the ST2, then record the ID for both tuners in the ST2

(the ST2 includes two separate tuners: two AM/FM or one AM/FM and one XM etc.). This procedure

is explained later in ACA-E5/ZXP-E5 Programming.

10. Configure the ELAN system for the ACA-E5/ZXP-E5 and confirm communication between the ACA-

E5/ZXP-E5 and the Controller.

11. Test the system by changing sources in a zone to confirm the correct source plays, and by testing the

ELAN interface transport control and media server controls.
