KEYPAD INSTALLATION

GUIDELINES

The ZR-6 MultiZone receiver requires at least one Master Keypad (Solo-6IR, Solo-6MD, or TS-Pro) in each active listening zone. Up to three Master Keypads can be installed in each zone using the optional ZR-KE Keypad expander (FG01494). The Numeric-6P Accessory Keypad can be combined with the Solo-6IR to provide even more control.

The Solo-6IR, Solo-6MD, and Numeric-6P keypads are weather-resistant and may be used in damp or wet locations, but must be installed in outlet boxes listed in accordance with the NEC and approved for this application. These keypads are weather-resistant from the front face when the wall plate is sealed to the wall using a silicone bead or other waterproof sealant. If the inside of the wall is a wet environment, it is recommended that all wiring utilize a drip loop to help prevent water from entering the back of the keypad. Do not submerge the keypad. In freezing temperatures, the keypad’s IR sensor will have reduced range, but will return to normal when unfrozen. Do not install the keypads in environments where the ambient temperature exceeds 100º C (212º F).
