Room mode

Room mode is similar to output mode, in that each of the first 10 panel buttons represents a room number within a range of 10. For example, if you set the MCP 1000 to represent room 1 with room presets 1 through 10, Room 1 appears in the LCD display. Button 9 selects room preset 9, button 2 selects room preset 2, and so on. If you make a selection that is not within the range of that device, an error message appears on the LCD display.

Setup flow charts

The MCP 1000 slave mode flow chart is on page 3-11, and the MCP 1000 master mode flow chart is on page 3-12. On the applicable flow chart, locate the mode in which you plan to operate the MCP 1000.

Enter setup mode and, following the flow chart, press the appropriate buttons to navigate through the menus and to make the appropriate selections for your application. The LCD display provides graphic prompts for the available choices. (See "LCD display," earlier in this chapter.)

If necessary, you can reset the MCP 1000 to its default factory settings. The reset command is available from the Config Controls menu.

Each MCP 1000M and MCP 1000S must have a unique address of 1 through 64. Slave units are polled periodically by either the MCP 1000M or by the master BME in a Matrix 3200/6400 system. Duplicate addresses can cause the MCPs to lock up.

If you turned view mode on, when you exit setup mode the LCD window displays a title screen that indicates the selected operation mode.
