VIII. Setting the NV-EKP DIP Switches

VIII. Setting the NV-EKP DIP Switches

The single most important aspect of the installation is to address the keypads correctly. The DIP switches labeled 1-4 are used to set the address (zone #) that

Zone 1

Zone 2

this particular keypad will control.

On the back of the keypad is a chart that indicates how to set these switches (Fig. 7). To set the keypad to control zone #1, set switch #1 down (1) and switches 2-4 up (0). This keypad will now control the speakers that are plugged into the “Zone 1” speaker outputs (Fig. 8).

Plug the keypad into the Cat-5 cable that is in zone #1. If you press the “ON/OFF” button, the keypad should light up and the LED on the front panel of the E6M amplifier for “ZONE 1” should light up.

The three addresses labeled ZN 1*, 2*, and 3* are set aside so that two keypads can be used in zones 1, 2, and 3. For instance, zone 1 can have two keypads:

Fig. 9: Zone 1, 2, and 3 additional keypads

one addressed 1-0-0-0 and one addressed 1-0-1-1 (Fig. 9). This allows for a total of 15 keypads in a 12- zoned system.
