Inbound Serial Control of C4630 SEs in Multi-Unit Systems

In systems with multiple C4630 SE units, serial commands in the above format will only control the C4630 SE unit to which the serial control device is directly connected. However, all of the serial commands in the above table can also be used to control any C4630 SE in a system with more than one unit, where the serial control device is connected to one ‘Master’ C4630 SE and all of the ‘Slave’ C4630 SEs are connected via their SYNC connections (see page 16).

Multi-unit commands have the same format as the single-unit commands, with the addition of the C4630 SE’s Unit ID number (see page 27) inserted between the opening colon (:) and the command letter.

For example, the VOLUME UP command for Zone 1 in a single-unit system would be: :V1++<cr>

The VOLUME UP command for Zone 1 of Unit 3 in a multi-unit system would be: :3V1++<cr>

C4630 SE Status Queries

C4630 SE status queries follow the same format as the serial commands, except that the SETTING is replaced with a question mark character (?). The response from the C4630 SE will consist of a plus sign (+) followed by the parameter being checked, the zone (if applicable) and the current setting.

Command	Syntax	Parameters	Response	Response Parameters
Zone Power	:Zx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Zxy	y = 1 if On; y = 0 if Off
Any Zones On	:Z?<cr>	None	+Zy	y = 1 if any zone On; y = 0 if all zones Off
Source	:Sx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Sxy	y = Current Source (1 – 4)
Volume	:Vx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Vxy	y = Current Volume (0 – 60)
Page Volume	:Gx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Gxy	y = Current Page Volume (0 – 60)
Mute	:Mx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Mxy	y = 1 if Mute On; Y = 0 if Mute Off
Balance	:Bx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Bxy	y = Current Balance (-10 – +10)
Bass	:Lx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Lxy	y = Current Bass (-8 – +8)
Treble	:Hx?<cr>	x = Zone 1 – 6	+Hxy	y = Current Treble (-8 – +8)

The C4630 SE will respond with ‘+ERR’ if the status query is invalid.
