Adding a 7th Zone Using The AVR507/505/50 Second Zone

 

Sometimes a simple seventh zone is needed for a CT install. If a B&K Home Theater is also being installed,

 

then the independent second zone can be used for the audio/video switching. Amplification must be provided

 

for the seventh zone. B&K manufactures two channel amplifiers capable of 55 watts per channel,125 watts

 

per channel or 200 watts per channel. Control of the Home Theater is accomplished by means of a RS-232

 

Swap cable. See page 27 for swap cable construction. The CT Receiver flashers should be set for “ALL

 

INPUTS” (Tab 9 BKcSuite). The keypad for the seventh zone should be slaved off of the closest keypad to the

 

seventh zone. The keypad for the seventh zone should be programmed specifically with the code-set 002.

 

Code 002 is default for a B&K Home Theater second zone. See figure below for connection diagram.

 

Status feedback for the seventh zone will not be possible because the zone is actually located in the Home

 

Theater processor/receiver. The keypad will be connected to the CT Receiver. However, status feedback will

 

still appear on the keypad for the zone the keypad is slaved from. To alleviate confusion, the status feedback

 

to the seventh zone keypad should be disabled. To do so, the keypad transmit ID of the CT Receiver should be

 

changed. On tab 13 of BKcSuite, change the Keypad Transmit ID to 254(FE). When programming the key-

 

pads for zones 1-6, set the keypad ID to 254(FE) in the Ck1.2 Keypad editor. You may still program each key-

 

pad using code-set 128 for zones 1-6. Set the Keypad ID for keypad in the seventh zone to 253(FD). OR cut

 

the RS-232 wire going to the seventh zone keypad.
