FIG. 2 Navigation Wheel - button layout

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.

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.
