This connector is included. 17 To connect a device to the Pluggable Terminal Block: 1. Insert one of the wires required for your device into the appropriate opening in the Pluggable Terminal Block you reserved for that device (refer to Table 2-1 on page 14). For example, if you were adding a motion sensor, you would connect its wires to the following Contact openings: power input to +12V output signal to SIG, and ground connector to GND. See the sections that follow for instruction on connecting the various protocols. 2. Tighten the screw for that opening. 3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for all wires required for your device. NOTE: When you connect dry contact closure devices, such as door switches, connect the switch between +12V (Power) and SIG (Signal). Connect to the Contact Port The Home Theater Controller provides one contact port as a subset of the pluggable terminal block provided. See the following figures to determine how to connect the device to a contact port. Figure 2-1.

Ensure that the Transmit line of the Home Theater Controller is hooked to the Receiver line of the device, and that the Receiver line of the Home Theater Controller is hooked to the Transmit line. Also, ensure that Ground is hooked to the Ground. 20 Set Up IR Emitters Your system may contain third-party products that are controlled with IR commands (usually through remote controls). To provide a way for the Home Theater Controller to control a device that only recognizes IR commands, complete the following setup. 1. Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 6 IR stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out port on the Home Theater Controller. 2. Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver on the media player, TV, or other target device to transmit IR signals from the Home Theater Controller to the target. Use Video Sense Loops Video sensing can enhance the ability to sense the power state of a device, such as whether the device is “on” or “off.” If you need to add video signal sensing capabilities for a video device (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, etc.), connect one of the device’s composite Video Out ports to a Home Theater Controller Video Sense In port. Then, use the companion Video Sense Out port (where available) for the device’s video out as needed. For Video Sense only (no loop-through), connect a device’s Composite Video Out port to one of the two Video Sense In ports. 21 22 CHAPTER Configure the System The Composer interface and wizards are designed to help you simplify the process to fully design, set up, and program a Control4 home automation system.
