Controlling An Array of Identical Components or Zones
There are several considerations to take into account when you are installing
an MRF-350i to control an array of identical components:
1. The RF ID# cannot be set to Code 0, the universal setting. You must use one
of the fifteen unique IR Routing addresses.
2. Each identical component must receive IR commands ONLY from a dedicated
Flasher affixed to its front panel or a rear panel direct IR input. The SIGNAL of
the remote should be set to RF ONLY for each identical component. IR
can still be utilized for other devices in your system!
3. You must note the NUMBER of the Flasher Output you have utilized for
EACH of the identical components.
4. When you use a wired connection to a component's rear panel IR input,
you must cut off the LED emitter, strip the two conductors, connect the sil-
ver conductor to the DATA input and the copper colored conductor to the
GROUND connector of the component's rear panel IR input. Then adjust the
line output of the MRF-350i for the best performance if needed.
Identical Components/Zones - Step by Step via PC
step 1 - Create a Device for each Component/Zone in the MX editor
software.
In this example, six
identical TVs are utilized
in a Media Room array.
The programmer has
created devices for all
of the equipment in the
cabinet on Main Page
1.
On Main Page 2,
he/she has created a
device for each of the
TVs.
step 2 - Program One Device With iR commands.
Using either the IR Database or Learning, program one of the identical devices
to operate one of TV's (leave the others powered off right now). Test all
commands, correct if necessary, then click on SAVE from the FILE menu.
