Controller ID Settings
If more then 4 zones are required another CA4 controller must be used and must have its own ID. One of the controllers must be set to 1 (default) and the other to 2.
1.Power up the #2 controller (plugging the unit into an electrical outlet). The installer has 30 seconds to set the ID.
2.Press and hold the source button on a keypad connected to the #2 controller's wall port for 5 seconds and the source 1 or 2 label will start blinking, whichever the controller is set to will be displayed. If source 1 blinks then the ID is set to 1. If source 2 blinks then the controller ID is set to 2. Please note, the default setting is 1.
3.A press and release of the volume up button will set the controller ID to #2. (A press and release of the volume down button will set the ID to #1.)
4.Cycle power to complete this setting. Unplug the controller from the power source, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in.
5.Only after the controller ID's are set should the cable linking the controllers be connected.
Please note upon initial power up this parameter should be set within 30 seconds or the controller will revert to normal operation. During power failure or power cycle this mode will return for the first 30 seconds of initial power. Normal operation can still occur during this period.
Note: All four connections from the controller to the wall port must be made, even if there are less than 4 keypads connected to the system.
Caution: Cables between the wall port and the controller must match numerically (#1 on Controller to #1 on Wall Port, etc.). Swapping cables to different ports can damage the equipment.
Connect the linking cable only after the controller ID's have been set.
Within 30 seconds of initial power up, hold the Source button for 5 seconds and then the volume up button to illuminate the 2nd source button. Cycle power and the controller ID is set to 2.
