SYSTEM SET-UP PROCEDURES

Zone/Keypad Set-Up (BASIC)

Assumes use of system defaults other than source icons and IR programming.

(ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

Within the MRC44 System, each zone can be customized for a number of performance options. For most installations, the factory default settings will be used and will require no additional configuration.

Name Of Zone

(ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

Each zone can be given a name (i.e. Living Room, Bedroom etc.) to more easily plan and program the keypads and zones in a MRC44 system.

1.To change the name of a zone, Click the ‘OPTIONS” button.

2.In the “Select Zone” box, select the number of zone to be named.

3.Select the text in the “NAME OF ZONE” box and type in the new name.

4.Selecting another zone or clicking the “CLOSE” button will save the Zone Name/s.

RC68 Code Group (BASIC)

In basic mode, the code group can only be set for the entire system.

(ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

Each zone of the MRC44 can be set to it’s own individual Code Group. This may be useful when the system requirements so dictate. (i.e. The system requirement calls for having zone-specific remote controls). The Code Group Number assigned and preset at the factory for each zone of the MRC44 is 48. Since other Xantech IR controlled models are assigned and preset at the factory to different Code Groups, special care should be taken when changing code groups to avoid accidentally changing another products code group number or having the wrong product respond to an IR code intended for a different model.

NOTE 1: When using programmable remotes, it will be useful to have an RC68+ to generate the IR codes for programming.

NOTE 2: See RC68+ instructions for additional information on Code Groups.

Keypad LCD Display Contrast

(ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

Adjusts the Contrast of the LCD Display on the Keypad. Adjust to preference and or to compensate for varying room ambient light conditions.

Number Of Keypads In Zone

(BASIC/ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

A zone may have one, two or no keypads. On power-up, the MRC44 Controller automatically polls the system and identifies how many keypads are connected to a given zone.

Repeat “SYSTEM SET-UP PROCEDURES” as needed for all zones.
