V-66 KEYPAD FEATU ES
The V-66 keypads are available in white (V-66-WKP) and black (V-66-BKP). The V-66 keypad is designed to be very easy to use.
Five backlit buttons access zone power on/off, volume up/down, selection of sources 1-6, zone treble, zone bass, zone un-mute and
zone standby. The backlit LED display provides visual feedback of levels and source numbers. The V-66 keypad also provides an
Infrared receiver which allows complete zone control via the included V-66- C hand held remote control. The V-66 I system also sends
I commands to the V-66 master controller I output jacks for remote control of your source components. No programming necessary,
just touch the keypad and start playing music instantly!

V-66 INSTALLATION INST UCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The V-66 should be situated in a well ventilated location or position. Do not block the vents on the sides or top of the
chassis. Proper ventilation is required for normal operation. Do not expose the unit to excessive dust and do not allow dust to build up
on the unit and block the vent holes in the chassis. Do not place the V-66 above or below heat-generating components such as another
audio amplifier. Be sure to leave at least 2 inches of space to the sides of the chassis with open air flow above and below the unit.
INSTALLATION:
1. The V-66 can be mounted in an equipment rack using the rack kit that is included with the V-66.
2. Always disconnect the AC power cord before making any connections to the V-66 controller.
3. Use good quality 12-14awg 2 conductor stranded copper speaker wire for all speaker connections.
4. Use good quality cat5e or cat6 cable and J45 connectors for all V-66-KP (keypads).
5. The V-66 includes a central keypad hub. All V-66-KP (keypads) will be home run back the the hub. Keep the hub close the V-66
controller.
6. Wire all cat5e/cat6 cables exactly the same using TIA/EIA 568A wiring. Do not use crossover cables.
IMPORTANT: All V-66-KP keypa s must have their mo e ip switches set properly
before powering the system on.
Failure to set the keypad mode dip switches correctly will result in no communication
between the V-66 controller and the V-66-KP (keypad). The keypad mode switches
are located on the back panel of each keypad. The dip switches set the zone location and
communication of each individual keypad.
SETTING THE KEYPAD MODE DIP SWITCHES AND KEYPAD WIRING:
Each V-66-KP shows a handy mode selection chart on the back of the keypad as follows:
Switch in the up position is ON. Switch in the down position is OFF.
IMPORTANT: Use a
screwdriver to install the
keypad. Using a power
drill can damage the
keypad.

V-66-KP (keypad) INSTALLATION INST UCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The V-66-KP (keypad) should be mounted in an electrical box or in-wall mud ring using a screwdriver to tighten.
Do not use a power drill to tighten the keypad screws. Over tightening can damage the keypad.
INSTALLATION: Connecting the V-66-KP (keypa s)
Use a good quality Cat5e/6 cable and crimp J45 jacks on each end of the cables.
The J45 jack plugs into the back panel of the keypads and the 6 x J45 jacks on the back panel of the V-66-Keypad-Hub.
The V-66-Keypad-Hub is included in your V-66 kit. Plug the J45 jacks into any available jack on the V-66-Keypad-Hub.
Zone assignment is determined by the MODE dip switches on the back of the V-66-KP (keypad).
Inclu e V-66-Keypa -Hub
NOTE: Keep the hub close

V-66 SPEAKE INSTALLATION INST UCTIONS STE EO MODE
IMPORTANT: The V-66 amplifiers are capable of driving 4-8 ohm speaker loads in stereo mode and 8ohm loads in bridge mono mode.
Never connect more than two 8ohm speakers wired in parallel to a single amplifier channel in stereo mode. Never connect more than one
8ohm speaker to a single channel in bridge mono mode. Never connect the Left & ight channels of the amplifier together.
Never combine the – negative channels of the amplifier together. Improper speaker installation can damage the amplifiers and void the
warranty. If you are unsure how to connect speakers to the V-66 always contact a qualified Factor Electronics technician before
connecting speakers to the amplifiers.
INSTALLATION: Connecting 8 ohm speakers to the V-66 in STEREO MODE
Use good quality 12-14awg stranded copper speaker wire. Never run speaker wires parallel to AC wires. If you must cross AC wires
always cross at a 90 degree angle. The speaker output terminal block connectors are removable. emove the terminal block connector
and make sure that all connections are open by turning each set screw counter clockwise. This insures that the speaker wire opening is
completely open. Trim approx 1/4” of insulation from the speaker wire and twist the copper ends. Insert the speaker wires into the
connector and tighten the set screws. epeat for the remaining zones.

V-66 SPEAKE INSTALLATION INST UCTIONS B IDGE MODE
IMPORTANT: The V-66 amplifiers are capable of driving 8 ohm speaker loads in in bridge mono mode. Never connect more than one
8ohm speaker to a single channel in bridge mono mode. Never combine the – negative channels of the amplifier together. Improper
speaker installation can damage the amplifiers and void the warranty. If you are unsure how to connect speakers to the V-66 always
contact a qualified Factor Electronics technician before connecting speakers to the amplifiers.
INSTALLATION: Connecting 8 ohm speakers to the V-66 in BRIDGE MODE
Setting the amplifier mode switch to B IDGE mode will double the amplifier power output to 100 watts. Effectively combining the LEFT
and IGHT amplifiers into one larger mono amplifier. The LEFT and IGHT input signals will be summed to mono. The minimum speaker
impedance in bridge mode is 8ohms. Use good quality 12-14awg stranded copper speaker wire. Never run speaker wires parallel to AC
wires. If you must cross AC wires always cross at a 90 degree angle. The speaker output terminal block connectors are removable.
emove the terminal block connector and make sure that all connections are open by turning each set screw counter clockwise.
This insures that the speaker wire opening is completely open. Trim approx 1/4” of insulation from the speaker wire and twist the copper
ends. Insert the speaker wires into the connector and tighten the set screws. epeat for the remaining zones.
MONO epeat for zones 1-6
NOTE: It is possible to set some amplifier
channels to B IDGE and some to STE EO.
Follow the correct wiring techniques and
correct speaker impedance for each zone.
