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. Link by interconnecting the RNET Link ports.
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 or back panel Ethernet port.
6. Check operation of the keypads, power on, and cycle through sources.
For correct operation, each RNET source must be configured with a
unique source ID and must match the assignment made with the SCS-C5
Configuration software (see pg. 27).
7. Check zone keypads. The zone 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.
8. Check operation of all keypad functions.
9. Check for functional IR signal pass-through (if applicable).
10. The system is now ready to use.

Troubleshooting
• When the controller and the keypads are powered ON, all the corresponding
zone 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).
