PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

PROGRAMMING A LEARNING REMOTE FOR ZONE OPERATION USING KEYPAD MODULES

Learning remote controls can be taught the IR commands to provide individual zone operation. These IR com-
mands operate the A4.6Ci and its associated source components from any zone equipped with an IR sensor.
Important Note: IR sensors can-
not operate a zone when used
alone. They must be installed and
connected to a Solo
or Select
Master Keypad Module.
The commands you will teach the
learning remote are stored in the
following buttons:
Master Keys 1-8. These activate
the system, turn the zones on,
and select the desired source.
Function Keys to issue the IR
commands for each of the indi-
vidual source components.
Volume and Mute Keys to control the volume in a zone.
The OFF Key to turn off the zones.
Step 1. Connect a flasher to any of the four flasher outputs.
Step 2. Connect a keypad to the preamp's front panel.
Step 3. Press and hold the TEST IR button. The Page LED and the Key LED blink RED to indicate you are in
the teaching mode.
Step 4. Press the Function Key or Master Key that you are going to teach. It is important to note the following:
1. Tapping a Master Key sends one command
2. Pressing and holding a Master Key sends a different command
3. Continuous commands need to be pressed for one second or according to what the manufacturer's
manual specifies for that command.
Step 5. Once the key is pressed, the IR command associated with that key is issued via all four flashers.
Flasher #4 can issue the command at a higher level.
The ENTER IR LED may flicker, blink, or be intermittently solid GREEN to reflect real-time IR
activity whenever outgoing IR commands are issued.
Step 6. Tap the TEST IR button to exit after all the necessary IR commands have been taught.
