feedback.

• Navigation Wheel - consists of 5 pushbuttons: 4 directional
pushbuttons (Up, Down, Right, Left), 1 center pushbutton, and
bi-directional rotating wheel for volume adjustments.

Note that the center pushbutton is dual-purpose: a push/release
provides one function, while a press/hold provides another.

Navigation Wheel - Pushbuttons

The top, bottom, left and right points on the Navigation Wheel are used for source
control and can be programmed to provide any source functionality by learning the
applicable IR code.

The center pushbutton is dual-purpose: a push/release on this button provides one
function, while a press/hold provides another. The center pushbutton are also used for
source control and can be programmed to provide any source functionality (again, by
learning the applicable IR code).

The Navigation Wheel itself can be rotated bi-directionally, and provides volume level
control.

• Clockwise rotation increases the volume level, counter-clockwise rotation
decreases the volume level.

• The range for volume is 0 - 70.

Installation

Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.

Wiring

SWT wiring utilizes four-color "snap connectors" to secure the wires (no screws). You
will need a wire stripper to prepare and connect the captive wires.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.

2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the
wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.

SWT Data and Power Connections

SWT wiring involves connecting the Mi-Series Controller, Metreau keypads, and
Speakers.
The Matrix Audio Controller and Metreau keypads are cabled using standard
4-conductor speaker cable originating at the Controller, passing through the keypad,
and terminating at the speaker location.
AMX recommends using a bundled 4-conductor, 16-gauge stranded copper wire in a
single continuous run.

1. Connect the Matrix Controller’s Zone Output connector to the 4-pin connector
on the rear panel of the Metreau keypad labeled TO CONTROLLER for data
and 12 VDC power.

2. Connect the other 4-pin connector on the keypad labeled TO SPEAKERS to
the SWT speakers as shown in FIG. 4.

Source Power Handling:

The Matrix Audio Controller learns the IR commands for power on/off during the
programming setup. Source components are turned on when they are selected on
the keypad. The source remains on until it has been idle in all zones for a duration of
10 minutes. The source is then turned off until selected again.

Mounting Procedures

AMX recommends mounting Metreau keypads in standard U.S.-style decora
wallboxes:

• Conduit box should meet NEC specs (section 370)

• Minimum internal clearance of (HWD) 2-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1-5/8".

Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.

Wallbox Mounting

1. Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the install surface.

2. Connect the SWT cable connector to the rear of the keypad.

3. Place the Mounting Plate on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mount-

ing holes and fasten the Mounting Plate to the wallbox using the screws sup­plied.

Note: Do not overtighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The
device should be flush with mounting surface.
