Rane ZR1 CP64S Installation Manual - Page 12

CP64S COMMERCIAL PROCESSOR VR1 LEVEL REMOTE Rane provides the VR1 Volume Remote for some applications that require a remote level control without the program selector found in the ZR1. It contains the same 2k RD taper pot, and connects as shown in the ZR1 schematic. With the front panel REMOTE switch, all selection and level is done either on the front panel or at the remote; never both locations. Connecting just a VR1 to the CP64S remote control terminals will allow level adjustment. However without a source selector, the unit will LEVEL 46 2 8 0 10 default to source one. If the PRIORITY / L4 INPUT automatic switching is enabled, then the unit will select the L4 signal when pres- ent and L1 at any other time. Thus if only a jukebox (P/L4) and other line source (L1) are used, the remote volume control will work just fine. REMOTE MOUNTING The ZR1 and PR2 remote assemblies mount in a standard U.S. electrical box with a minimum depth of 2.25". Be sure to note the wire color of each input in order to facilitate correct wiring to the CP64S. Connect each wire to the Euro connector by fully inserting it in the correct socket and tightening the screw. Make sure wires are free of nicks and that the cable jacket is stripped back sufficiently to allow it to lie in the electrical box with the remote assembly inserted. Use the flat head #6 screws supplied with the kit to mount the remote assembly and silk-screened front panel to the electrical box. Note the "UP" arrow screened on the printed circuit board of each remote (mount it pointing up). Install each knob so that the line on the knob is properly aligned with the silk-screening on the front panel of the remote assembly. Install any Decora plate of your choice. For a secured installation, you may wish to leave the knobs off and use a blank Decora plate to cover the remote after adjustment. WIRE TYPES Variations in wire type do not greatly affect the performance of the remote controls. 22-gauge stranded wire with a flexible jacket is recommended. You may use 5-conductor unshielded remote control signal cable for shorter runs (less than 200 feet [60 meters]), or 4-conductor (2 pair) shielded remote control signal cable (use the shield as the ground return) for longer runs (200 to 1000 feet [60 to 300 meters]). The type of wire required is influenced by your installation and local electrical codes. Rane Corporation does not provide or source cable. Please contact your local retail or wholesale outlet, not the factory.
