Russound CAA66 Controller Kit Owner's Manual

1. Ensure it is possible to route the wire to the location
you have chosen.

2. To install a single-gang keypad, you will need to use
a UL/CSA approved plastic single-gang (18 ci) electrical
box.

3. Route CAT-5 wire to the electrical box from the CA sys-
tem controller.

4. Use a 110 punchdown tool to connect each wire to
its corresponding color labeled on the punchdown termi-
nal.

5. Mount the keypad in the electrical box. For the KP6 key-
pad, insert the source name labels in the appropriate slots
before attaching the back plate and trim plate.

The KP6/KPL keypad uses a 110-
punchdown terminal on the back
panel to provide simple installation
and a strong connection for CAT-5
cable’s eight conductors.
Punchdown terminals require the
use of a punchdown tool. Attach the
CAT-5 cable to the 110-punchdown
terminal on the KP6 keypad as
shown, matching the conductor col-
ors to the connection color guide.
The keypad will not operate properly 

if the terminations deviate from the
required connection order.  
Take care when using an impact 110
punchdown tool, as this may over-
spread the contact points. Use of the
impact tool may propel stray bits of
wire and jacket into the keypad’s chas-
sis and possibly cause a short in the
circuitry. Gently shake or blow air
through the keypad chassis to remove
stray wire before the keypad is
installed into the junction box.

Note: Source labels must be inserted prior to installing the trim
plate on the keypad.

1. Determine the system’s source names and numbers 
(e.g., CD, Source 1).

2. Select the corresponding source name label from the includ-
ed label sheets. Left-side labels are used for sources 1, 3 
and 5; right-side labels are used for sources 2, 4 and 6. 

3. Slide the label into the window slot until the source name is 
centered in the window.
