This article describes how to wire a ControlCenter CC-2 to FreeSpace IZA 2120-HZ and FreeSpace IZA 2120-LZ amplifiers.

Procedure

ControlCenter CC-2 controllers have RJ-45 connectors (T568B). The ControlCenter CC-2 connects to REMOTE on the back of the amplifier with bare wire.

The FreeSpace IZA 2120-HZ supports two zones, which means there is a remote control connection block for each output.

Connecting a single controller (or the first of two controllers)

1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the Ethernet cable to Main on the back of the controller.
2. On the REMOTE block for Output 1,
   • Connect the White/Orange wire to PWR.
   • Connect the White/Green wire to VOL.
   • Connect the Green wire to A/B.
   • COM is unused.
   
3. On the controller, set DIP switches 1, 3, and 5 to the ON position.  All other DIP switches should be down.
   
4. On the amplifier, set the second DIP switch to Remote.

If only a single controller will be used on the 2120-HZ, the first DIP switch on the amplifier must be set to Zone 1+2.

Connecting a second controller (FreeSpace IZA 2120-HZ only)

There are two ways to set up the second controller.

• In both scenarios, set the first DIP switch on the back of the amplifier to Zone 1, which allows the output volumes to be independent.

Via Home-Run

If the second controller is home-run back to the amplifier, it connects in the same way as the first.

1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the Ethernet cable to Main on the back of the controller.
2. On the REMOTE block for Output 2,
   • Connect the White/Orange wire to PWR.
   • Connect the White/Green wire to VOL.
   • Connect the Green wire to A/B.
   • COM is unused.
   
3. On the controller, set DIP switches 1, 3, and 5 to the ON position.  All other DIP switches should be down.
   

Via Pass-Through

Alternatively, the two controllers can be daisy-chained together so that the second controller passes through the first controller.  Both controllers then share the same Ethernet cable on the way to the amplifier, which means the second controller needs to use a different pair of wires within the Ethernet cable.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from Main on the second controller to Chain on the first controller.
2. On the REMOTE block for Output 2,
   • Connect the Orange wire to PWR.
   • Connect the Blue wire to VOL.
   • Connect the White/Brown wire to A/B.
   • COM is unused.
   
   This image shows the wiring of both controllers together.
   
    
3. On the controller, set DIP switches 2, 4, and 6 to the ON position.  All other DIP switches should be down.
