system Start up

Start up

1.Make connections of sources, speakers and keypads to the controller(s).

2.In a multiple controller configuration, set the controller IDs to unique numbers. Use CAT-5e linking cables of no more than 18 in (45.7 cm) to link the controllers.

3.Plug in and power the sources and controllers.

4.The left LED showing power on the front panel of each controller should be lit.

5.Configure the system using the SCS-C5 software. Load the program onto Controller#1 using the front USB port.

6.Check operation of the keypads, power on, and cycle through sources. The LED should be lit on the front of the controller if the corresponding keypad is on. The LED will not be lit if the keypad is not turned on or is absent.

7.Check operation of all keypad functions.

8.Check for functional IR signal pass-through (if applicable).

9.The system is now ready to use.

Troubleshooting

•When the controller and the keypads are powered ON all the corresponding LEDs on the face of the controller will be green. Improper connection may cause one or more LEDs not to be lit. Check all connections.

•Cycle power by pressing the power button, waiting 10 seconds, and then pressing the power button again.

•Check connections from the keypads and speakers to the controller(s).

•If the keypad doesn't respond to commands ensure the OS update jumper on the rear of the keypad is in the RUN position (on the lower pins).
