    CONFIGURATION 12 – IR REPEATING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL COMPONENTS An IR Repeating System can be integrated into a room connected to the Niles ZR-4630 (see Figure 17). This enables a single IR Sensor (installed in that room) to control local components with a hand-held IR remote control.

  • Page 27: Component Compatibility

    COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY Infrared Command Compatibility IR control testing was conducted on many equipment brands to determine their compatibility with the ZR- 4630. Typical A/V source components (i.e., CD, DVD, DSS, Cable Boxes, etc.) from each brand were chosen for the test. All brands listed below passed the test. Adcom Kenwood APEX...

  • Page 28: Source Power Synchronization

    SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION WHAT IS SOURCE-POWER SYNCHRONIZATION? The ZR-4630 has been designed to keep track of the ON/OFF condition of the three source components connected to the system. This enables source components that utilize the same IR command for ON and OFF to be automated. For this feature to function as designed, you need “synchronization (sync)”...

  • Page 29: Choosing A Synchronization Method

    SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION CHOOSING A SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD Once you establish that all source components in the system have compatible IR commands, the next step is to choose the appropriate Sync Method for each component. There are two ways to detect when a component is ON or OFF: Video or Voltage Sync. DIGITAL AUDIO VIDEO PHONE...

  • Page 30: Voltage Sync

    SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION Voltage Sync Voltage Sync is also a reliable method of synchronization if chosen and implemented correctly. The Sync Inputs can detect the control out voltage from a Niles Signal Sensing product interfaced to the source component. Obtaining Voltage Sync Current Sensing Current Sensing synchronizes a component by detecting the changes in the AC power draw that occurs with a component when it turns ON and OFF.

  • Page 31: Light Sensing

    SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION Light Sensing Using a light sensor (LS-1) to synchronize your components is usually your last choice, simply because the other choices are more reliable. The Niles LS-1 Light Sensor can synchronize a component by sensing changes in light. The 12V output of the LS-1 is then connected to the ZR-4630’s Sync Input dedicated for that component, a mini- plug to RCA adapter is required for this connection (see Connections for more information).

    OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW MASTER KEYS/SOURCE BUTTONS The Master Keys available on the Solo Remote (Figure 21) provide “one-touch activation” of the ZR-4630 and source components. The Master Keys on the Solo Master Keypad Module are equipped with back lighting LEDs for indicating Zone ™...

  • Page 33: Master Key/Source Button Events

    OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Master Key/Source Button Events When you press a Master Key on a Solo Remote, as many as four events occur. The first event is factory programmed and activates the zone which you are located. The second event is fac- tory programmed and selects the proper source input corresponding to the Master Key or Source Button pressed (1 = Tuner, 2 = Input 2, 3 = Input 3, 4 = Input 4).

  • Page 34: Master Key/Source Button Operation

    OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW MASTER KEY/SOURCE BUTTON OPERATION The Master Key/Source Buttons have two methods for operating the system. Single-Zone Operation The first method, a quick tap of a Master Key/Source Button in a zone (holding the Key/Button for less than three seconds), causes only that zone to turn ON. The Master Key quickly tapped illuminates GREEN after the zone turns ON.

  • Page 35: Off Key Events

    OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW OFF Key Events When you press the OFF Key/Button, as many as two events occur. The first event is factory programmed and is responsible for turning the zone or all zones OFF every time the OFF Key/Button is pressed. The second event is responsible for turning OFF the source components and only occurs if the zone turning OFF was the last zone ON in the system (including the Home Theater Zone sharing source components).

  • Page 41: Identical Source Components

    OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW IDENTICAL SOURCE COMPONENTS The ZR-4630 routes the individual source component IR commands with which it has been programmed to specific Flasher Outputs. This provides individual control of identical source components (i.e., two DSS receivers of the same brand and model). These programmed IR commands are routed to the individual Flasher Outputs based on the source components for which they were programmed.

    OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW OPERATING A SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH A HOME THEATER Operation from the Stereo Zones Provided by the ZR-4630 User operation from the zones provided by ZR-4630’s, are not affected when integrating a Home Theater to share source components (see System Configurations 4 & 5). Solo independently operate the zone to which they are dedicated (i.e., Zone ON/OFF, Volume Up/Down, Mute).

  • Page 43: Integrated Home Theater Without Home Theater Sync And Using Niles R-4 Commands

    OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW When the Home Theater turns ON, it provides a 12V Status signal that is connected to the Home Theater Sync Input on the rear panel of the ZR-4630. This 12V Status signal provides the ON/OFF status of the Home Theater to the ZR-4630.

  • Page 44: Installation

    INSTALLATION PLACEMENT Place the ZR-4630 on a flat, level surface such as a table or shelf, with its weight equally distributed on each of its four feet. Placing the weight of the amplifier on the rear or front panel for even an instant will result in damage to the amplifier's connectors and controls.

  • Page 45: Terminating Four-Pair Twisted Cable

    CONNECTIONS TERMINATING FOUR-PAIR TWISTED CABLE The Solo Master Keypad Modules, the Expander, and the ZR-4630’s System Expansion connections require a ™ four-pair twisted cable with a one-to-one wiring configuration. To maintain consistency throughout all Intellipad Ci installations, we recommend the color-coding pattern described in Figure 31. However, you may follow the color-coding pattern of your choice, as long as it is used consistently throughout the system.

  • Page 46: Connecting Ir Sensors

    CONNECTIONS CONNECTING IR SENSORS An IR sensor can be connected to a Solo Master Keypad Module in one of two ways, directly with a four-pair twisted cable (see Figures 34 and 35), or with a three-wire to RJ- 45 adapter available from Niles for IR Sensors installed with two-conductor shielded cable (see Figure 36 and the Accessories Section of this manual).

    CONNECTIONS SYSTEM EXPANSION 5. System Expansion Input to System Expansion Output Four-pair twisted cable, terminated with male RJ-45 plugs, connects multiple ZR-4630's using the System Expansion Input and Output terminals. Connections are made from the Input of one of the ZR-4630's to the Output of another, and so on (for more information on Terminating Four-Pair Twisted Cable, refer to page 44).

  • Page 49: Connecting An Ir Sensor For Local System Control

    CONNECTIONS CONNECTING AN IR SENSOR FOR LOCAL SYSTEM CONTROL IR Sensors installed in zones for hand-held IR remote control of the ZR-4630 and its source components can also be used to control local components (i.e., a TV, DSS, DVD, and a surround-sound system located in the master bedroom zone as shown in figure 38).

    INSTALLATION SETTINGS ALL ON/PAGE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS There are six All ON/PAGE switches located on the hidden programming panel of the ZR-4630. Each of the ZR-4630's zones has a corresponding numbered switch (see Figure 40). The switches enable (Up) or disable (Down) the individual zones from responding to ALL ON commands and incom- ing audio pages.
