Knoll Systems MVP44a Installation, Single IR Command Storing, Sequence IR Command Storing

gather all the source remotes (with batteries inserted) near the 590-

00.Screw one end of a temporary wire to the 590-00 terminal marked +12VDC. Power up the 590-00 and the MVP44a.

The 590-00 can learn up to 16 different commands on each of its four banks. If more than 10 different IR commands are being stored use bank 2, 3, and 4 to store the sequence commands and bank one positions 1-6 to execute the sequences.

Single IR Command Storing

Start by pushing the RES (reset) button on the back of the

590-00. If any of the six relay activations have a single command (not a sequence of commands), program the single command(s) first. For example if the jazz station tuner is on source C and you want to program the IR command "scan" (two or more news stations have been programmed in the news station tuner) into function C, program the 590-00 with this first.

1.Make sure the bank 1 dip switch is on; bank 2, 3, and 4 off.

2.Push PGM (program lamp goes on).

3.Using the wire attached to the 590-00 +12VDC, touch and hold the other end of the wire to the 590-00 upper + row terminal 2. While holding the wire in place, push the tuner remote control button "scan" while it is about 2-4 inches from the 590-00 internal infrared sensor. The 590-00 PROGRAM lamp will flicker while storing the IR signal. When the IR signal is stored, the confirm lamp comes on. Release the remote control button and release the wire to the upper row terminal. The IR signal is now stored in the 590-00 bank 1 terminal 2.

4.Store any other single commands in bank 1 positions 1 and 3-6.

5.Push PGM (program lamp will go out).

590-00 Sequence IR Command Storing

The six MVP44a pulse activations can activate a sequence of up to 10 IR commands each. As an overview, the individual IR commands are first learned and stored in any of the 16 positions in the four banks (except bank 1 positions 1 through 6), then assembled in order

Installation

It is very important to use a top quality RJ45 8/8 crimper tool. We strongly suggest using a cat 5 / RJ45 electronic tester to verify the wire conductors.

Installing the MVP44a should be relatively easy. With a bit of planning,theMVP44awillgivetroublefreeserviceforyears.

1.The most important consideration when installing the MVP44a is cooling. The MVP44a has a lot of power packed into a smallchassissize.Wheninstallingitinanequipmentstack,itshould be the top component. It needs at least 1-3/4" of space above the MVP44a to allow for adequate cooling.

2.When installing the MVP44a in a rack we suggest adding a

1-3/4" blank above and below the MVP44a. In multiple MVP44a installations, plan for a 3-1/2" blank (double) between each MVP44a and a 1-3/4" blank on the top and bottom. Amplifiers should always be the top components in a rack system.

3.If MVP44a channels frequently shut down due to overheating, either the output levels will have to go down or 8 ohm speakers installed. If 8 ohm speakers are installed on all channels and some channels still shut down, call the factory for advice.

4.Connect the MVP44a inputs to the source component outputs with good quality, short as possible RCA jack cables. Connect each channelindividually.

5.If source D is not being used we suggest you short both of them out with a RCA shorting jack. This will make the room speakers quieter in standby modes.

6.Connect the MVP44a speaker outputs to speakers using good quality speaker wire. Minimum 16 gauge copper wire is recommended with 14 gauge minimum for runs over 30' (10m) Make sure the speakers in each room are connected in phase.

Note: Ideally the MVP44a likes 6-8 ohm loads. Connecting to 4 ohm loads won't hurt the MVP44a but those channels connected to 4 ohm loads may occasionally shut down due to overloading. Never connect the MVP44a to 2 ohm loads.
