This is the GE SmartCom Room Station Installation Instructions 
for model CC-SCRS01. This document describes how to mount 
and wire the room station.
SmartCom provides a modular, expandable system for the distri-
bution of music and intercom functions throughout the home.
The SmartCom room station (Figure 1) provides a single, conve-
nient graphical LCD keypad to control the SmartCom audio and 
intercom systems.

Prewired and preinstalled CAT5 cable and low-voltage double-
gang deep box or mud ring.

You may need a second cable if the homeowner wants to 
upgrade the keypad to the GE SmartCom touch-screen 
model in the future. 

You will need the following equipment to install the room 
station:

• EZ RJ45 ratchet-style crimper
• Phillips screwdriver

Terminate the CAT5 cables used to connect the room station with 
an RJ45 plug using the TIA 568A residential standard configura-
tion. Proper installation of the CAT5e plug is critical to maintain 
5e rating of the cable (see 

To mount the room station, do the following:
1.

Press the tab on the bottom of the base and lift the face plate 
off the base.

2.

Mount the back plate to a double-gang, low-energy box 
using the mounting screws provided. Do not overtighten the 
screws.

3.

Connect the cable as appropriate (see 

).

4.

Line up the top of the face plate with the top of the base and 
press the tab on the base while you fit the face plate to the 
base. Release the tab to secure the face plate to the base.

You can use up to 200 ft. (61 m) of cable between the room 
station and the SmartCom intercom hub.
To connect the room station to the intercom hub, do the 
following:
1.

Run cable from the room station to the inputs on the front of 
the intercom hub.

2.

Label both ends of the wire with the room station number.

3.

Plug one end of the cable into the back of the room station 
and the other end into any room station jack on the front of 
the intercom hub (Figure 2). 

Refer to your intercom hub documentation for more details.

To add an RJ45 connector to the cable, do the following:
1.

Use a CAT5e stripper to score the outer jacket about 2 in. 
(51 mm) from the end of the cable.

Do not cut the cable with the stripper.

2.

Use your fingers to bend the outer jacket back and forth 
until the jacket breaks off.

3.

Cut the spline so that it does not protrude from the outer 
jacket. Be careful not to nick the wires.

4.

Untwist the wires and flatten them until all kinks are 
removed.

5.

Slide 0.25 in. (6 mm) of the outer jacket over the spline.

6.

Trim the wires to 1.5 in. (38 mm) from the outer jacket.

7.

Arrange the wires in the correct color code sequence 
according to the T568A pin out configuration.

8.

Slide the wires into the RJ45 plug, keeping them in the 
correct color sequence. The tips of the wires will protrude 
from the end of the connector.

9.

Continue sliding the wires all the way into the plug until 
about 0.25 in. (6 mm) of the outer jacket is inside the plug. 
The cable should stop sliding in when the spline touches the 
connector.

10. Crimp the connector using the EZ RJ45 ratchet-style 

crimper. The crimper will crimp then cut the wires. Use 
your fingers to finish breaking off the wires.

You must use the flathead screws 
provided or damage to the room station 
will occur.
