SYSTEM INSTALLATION

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).

CHOOSE A MOUNTING LOCATION

Convenient keypad mounting locations include:

1.Near a doorway

2.Near a desk

3.At your bedside

4.Close to a telephone

5.Near other wall-mounted controls.

Keypad mounting considerations include:

1.Avoid direct sunlight

2.Accessibility for direct button operation

3.Line of sight for IR operation

4.Close to a telephone

5.Appropriate height for display visibility

6.Accessibility for wiring (if retrofit)

SOLO-6IR

The Solo-6IR comes in a kit that includes the keypad in white with a white faceplate. Also included are color change kits in light almond and bone. Optional kits are available in black (FG01532) and silver (FG01570). The color change kit must be installed prior to installation in the wall.

1.Gently compress the two retaining tabs at the top of the Decora insert, then lift the top. Remove the bottom of the Decora insert in the same manner. The main buttons will come off with the Decora insert and any installed Master Keys can now be easily removed.

2.To reinstall, snap the new Decora insert in place, making certain that the attached buttons are seated over the elastomer sub-buttons.

3.Do not install the Master Keys at this point. They should be installed after the keypad has been mounted in the wall.

4.Install the keypad into the wallbox using the two 6-32 screws provided.
