RR-952 IR Remote Control

The RR-952 infrared remote control serves a dual purpose. In ad- dition to providing dedicated pushbuttons for the most needed functions of both the RMZ-955 controller/amplifier and source components, it also serves as a quick set-up tool during initial configuration.

The RR-952 has a special high intensity IR transmitter. In con- junction with the system’s sensitive receiver modules, this trans- mitter assures reliable operation under a wide variety of conditions.

RSM-901 Sensor/Display

The wall-mounted RSM-901 Sensor/Display receives commands from the RR-952 hand held remote and, after processing to en- sure maximum data integrity, sends these codes to the RMZ-955 controller/amplifier.

In addition, the RSM-901 provides continuous system status in- formation (source, time, volume setting, etc.) at each remote lo- cation with a dot matrix display. Also available is a programmable alarm function.

GETTING STARTED

You’ll find details of the display in the Set Up and Operation sec- tions of this manual.

NOTE: An RSM-901 connected to the Zone A data input MUST be used during initial set-up.

RKP-901 Keypad

The RKP-901 is a wall-mounted keypad for convenient remote operation of the entire system. The keypad can be used as a stand-alone control device, although it is most functional when installed with the RSM-901 sensor-display. Its 12 key design is the optimum balance between flexibility and simplicity, providing single-key control of the system and source components (select- ing and starting a CD player, for example). In addition, the RKP-901 allows total system shut-down from a remote location. It mounts conveniently in a standard single width wall box or in a dual width box with a RSM-901 sensor/display. (see page 25)

RSM-901/RKP-901 Combination

Mounting both the sensor/display and keypad in one double- width wall box carries several advantages. It simplifies the in- stallation. It also focuses the user on one location in each zone, i.e. walk to the keypad or aim the hand held remote control at the same wall-plate.
