OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

MASTER KEY/SOURCE BUTTON OPERATION

The Master Key/Source Buttons have three methods for operating the system.

Single Zone Operation

The first method, a quick tap of a Master Key/Source Button in a zone (holding the Key/Button for less than three seconds), causes only that zone to turn ON. The Master Key quickly tapped illuminates GREEN after the zone turns ON. A zone turns ON to its last volume setting. A maximum turn ON volume can be programmed into the ZR-4630 (see Installation Settings for more information).

System Wide Operation

The second method, a press and hold of a Master Key/Source Button in any zone (holding the Key/Button for more than three seconds), turns all zones ON that are set to ALL ON/Page enabled (this setting is made via front panel programming DIP switches, set individually for each zone). All zones enabled for ALL ON/PAGE, select the source associated with the Master Key/Source Button pressed and held, and that same Master Key LED illuminates GREEN. The ALL ON volume can be adjusted with the ZR-4630 (see Installation Settings for more information).

Note: When the Tuner Master Key (master #1) is pressed and held, the radio station currently selected in that zone will be selected by all zones when using multiple ZR-4630's in a system.

Zone linked Operation

The third Method, a press of a Master Key/Source Button that is part of a Zone-Linked group of zones, causes the linked Zones/Rooms to turn ON to the selected Source. Each Zone/Room turns ON to its individual programmed Turn On Volume level. Each Zone/Rom has independent Volume control. Changing a Source in any of the linked Zones/Rooms changes the Source in all the linked Zone/Rooms.

Inportant Note: Only one group of Zones/Rooms can be linked together in a chassis.

OFF KEY/OFF BUTTON

The OFF Key/Button included on both the Solo™ Master Keypad Module and the hand-held R-4 Remote pro- vide “one-touch” system deactivation. When you are finished listening in a zone, a single press of the OFF Key/ Button deactivates the zone.
