Start up

1.Connect the speakers and keypads to the wall port. Make all connections of the sources and wall port to the controller.

Note: All four connections from the controller to the wall port must be made, even if there will be less than 4 keypads connected to the wall port.

2.If using dual controllers, power the second controller, set the ID to '2' and then unplug the controller. Use the linking cable to connect both controllers.

3.Plug in and power the sources and controllers.

4.The left LED showing power on the front panel of each controller should be lit.

5.Check operation of the keypads, power on and cycle through sources. The LED should be lit on the front of the controller if the corresponding keypad is on. The LED will not be lit if the keypad is not turned on or is absent.

6.Check operation of all keypad functions. Treble, bass, loudness, source grouping, and All ON participation can be programmed at each keypad.

7.Check for functional IR signal pass-through (if applicable).

8.The system is now ready to use.

Troubleshooting

When the controller and the keypads are powered ON all the corresponding LEDs on the face of the controller will be green. Improper connection may cause one or more LEDs not to be lit. Check all connections.

Cycle power by unplugging the controller, waiting for 10 seconds and then plugging back into a power source.

Check connections from the wall port to the controller, and from the keypads and speakers to the wall port.

If the keypad doesn't respond to commands ensure the jumper on the rear of the keypad board is in the OFF position (only on one pin).

Cables between the wall port and the controller must match numerically (#1 on Controller to #1 on Wall Port, etc.). Do NOT swap the cables to different ports. Doing so might damage the equipment or cause a malfunction.
