When installing the Solo-6IR or Solo-
6MD into a "wet" environment, the
unit must have a complete "positive"
seal with the mounting surface. This
is achieved by using silicone caulking
on the gap around the plate and the
Decora
the wall plate to complete the seal.
It is recommended that additional
installation time be applied to these
keypad locations. It may be necessary
to disable the IR sensor if the keypad is
exposed to direct sunlight. The TS-Pro
touchscreen should not be mounted in
a wet environment.
Whenever an iPod is connected to a
ZR-6, the Input 2 RCA jacks become
an iPod cascade output. These are
used to route the iPod audio signal to
any additional Slave chassis.
The ZR-6 can ONLY be used with the
SmartDock2 and ES2. Please check
