Controller / Keypad Connections - Russound MCA-66 Installation Manual

CONTROLLER / KEYPAD CONNECTION
Controller / Keypad Connection
The MDK-C6 keypad is designed for use with the MCA controllers, and
connects to a keypad port near the top left on the rear of the controller. These
RJ-45 ports support MDK-C6, SLK-1 keypads and TS3 touchscreens .
The six keypad ports correspond to the six zones supported by the MCA-66.
When a connected keypad is powered on, the zone becomes active and the
corresponding zone LED lights up on the front of the MCA-66 controller.
Connections are made using CAT-5e with RJ-45 connectors using T568A wire
configuration. For a clean installation when wiring from a keypad port use
a CAT-5e patch cable to connect from the keypad port to a RJ-45 wall plate
(optional). Using the same T568A RJ-45 wiring configuration, use CAT-5e cable
from the wall plate to the keypad. Maximum CAT-5e cable length is 250 feet
between the controller and the keypad. The OS Update jumper should be in
the RUN position on the lower two pins.

If more keypads are desired for a zone, use an optional SA-ZX3 keypad
splitter with a Russound 1201A (12VDC 1A) power supply at the controller end.
All keypads on an SA-ZX3 control the same zone. More detailed information
regarding SA-ZX3 installation and operation can be found in its installation
manual.
Note: The keypad ports are only to be used with Russound keypads and are
NOT to be used for any ethernet or computer networking connections. The
Russound keypad ports output 12vDC that will damage networking products.
