Xantech MRKP2 Setup, External IR Receiver Connections, Initial Power-up

External IR Receiver Connections

Use an external Xantech IR Receiver in cases where a hand-held remote needs to be pointed somewhere other than at the MRKP2 or in cases where additional interference requires the use of a different type of IR receiver or IR receiver mounting location. Typical IR Receiver locations are near a TV or other equipment such as a Local Source (DVD Player, A/V Receiver,…etc.). A CAT-

5 cable can be used to extend the IR receiver’s wire, if necessary. Refer to the bottom of the Specifications section (page 19) for wiring instruction when using CAT-5 cable to extend the IR signal.

By default, the MRKP2 External and Internal IR receivers are both active. Having both active, in some cases, can cause issues with IR signal reflection and/or multiple processing of the same IR command. In such specific cases it is advisable to disable the Internal IR when using an external IR receiver. The internal IR receiver can be disabled by removing jumper clip JP3 as shown below.

4. MRKP2 Setup

Initial Power-up

Whenever the MX88 or the keypad itself is reset, the MRKP2 will take approximately 1 minute to initialize. During most of this period of time, with the exception of first 5 seconds, the On/Standby LED will be illuminated in green as an indication that boot-up is in progress.

QuickConfig

The Xantech QuickConfig feature facilitates the setup of the MX88 system from a keypad without the use of a PC. Please refer to the QuickConfig Guide at www.xamtech.com/MX88 for details on setting up QuickConfig.
