MET-6NMetreau™ 6-Button Keypad with Navigation

Overview

The MET-6N Metreau 6-Button Keypad with Navigation (FG5794-01) features source control, a navigation wheel that adjusts levels and provides up, down, left, right and select button options, as well as an LED bar for visual level feedback. The MET-6N can be used as in individual keypad or in conjunction with the MET-7 and MET-13 keypads (FIG. 1).

Navigation Wheel - Pushbuttons

The top, bottom, left, right and center points on the Navigation Wheel are pushbuttons that provide events on Channels #7, #8, #9, #10 and #11, and can be programmed like any other AxLink button. FIG. 2 shows the button layout of the Navigation Wheel:

Navigation Wheel

The Navigation Wheel itself can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, and is intended to provide level control (for example volume or lighting levels).

•When rotated clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides a channel event on button #12.

•When rotated counter-clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides a channel event on button #13.

•The light on the Navigation Wheel can be illuminated by activating channel #11.

Installation

Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

AxLink Device Addressing

AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads use an 8-position mini-DIP switch to specify a unique device address for each keypad in a NetLinx Control System.

Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

1.If connected, disconnect the power supply.

2.Locate the 8-position mini-DIP switch on the rear panel (see FIG. 3).

3.Set the DIP switch according to the values shown in FIG. 4.

Switch	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8		Example
Value	1	2	4	8	16	32	64	128
									(129)

FIG. 4 8-position mini-DIP Switch

The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are in the ON position. Note that the ON position is indicated on the DIP Switch. As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 4 defines AXLink device number 129 (1+128=129).

If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the power connector to enter the new device number into memory.
