OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Master Key/Source Button Events

When you press a Master Key on a Solo™ Master Keypad Module or a Source Button on the hand held R-4 Remote, as many as four events occur.

The first event is factory programmed and activates the zone which you are located. The second event is facto- ry programmed and selects the proper source input corresponding to the Master Key or Source Button pressed (1 = Tuner, 2 = Input 2, 3 = Input 3, 4 = Input 4).

There are two installer programmable events available for Master Keys and Source Buttons 2, 3, and 4: Event 3 - the Source ON Event, and Event 4 - the Sequence Event.

Because there is no power command required for the ZR-4630’s internal tuner, Master Key 1 and the Tuner Source Button are programmable only with the Sequence Event.

Event 1

This event turns a ZONE ON when a Master Key or a Source Button is pressed. Pressing and holding a Master Key/Source Button turns all zones on to that source (the zone must be enabled via a DIP switch, see Installation Settings for more details). When a zone is on, the select- ed Master Key on the Solo™ illuminates green.

Event 3

This event turns ON IR-activated source components (i.e., DSS, VCR) when a Master Key/Source Button is pressed. The Source ON event occurs only for Master Keys/Source Buttons 2, 3, and 4. Power commands for each Master

Key/Source Button are programmed individually and occur conditionally, synchronized via the correspond- ing Sync Inputs.

Event 2

This event selects the proper input for the Master Key/Source Button pressed. The source selected for Master Key 1 on the Solo™ Master Keypad Module, and the Tuner Source Button on the R-4 Remote, is the inter- nal Tuner. Master Keys/ Source Buttons 2, 3, and 4 are for the external audio inputs respectively. These inputs are selected every time a Master Key or a Source Button is pressed or pressed and held.

Event 4

This event issues IR commands and programmed time delays. It is executed last and occurs every time a Master Key/Source Button is pressed. Play, group, file, or channel commands for an associated source component typically are included in the sequence. The sequence for Master Keys/Source Buttons 2, 3, and 4 can be pro- grammed with the IR commands taught to their respective function keys along with programmed time delays. The sequence for the Tuner Source Key can be programmed with the tuner’s direct access or preset access commands.
