If this feature is required, then the user simply sets the RS-232 source to “LOOP” via the rear panel switch (DIP switch #4) and assigns a di erent address for each MULTIzone unit (DIP switches 1, 2 and 3). RS-232 data is then relayed to each looped unit using the same cable as the signal loop-through.
  • Page 10 Zone command format As a number of MULTIzone units can be looped together the zone command should refer to the absolute zone within the loop. i.e. in a system with three MULTIzone units, zone 2 of unit 3 would be referenced as zone 10.
