M218

M218 Connection plan

The M218 wall-mounted remote control panel
enables you to control additional room
amplifiers. In conjunction with an interface
(M200, M201), it can also be used to control
the M51.
The M218 has an infrared receiver, which is
located behind the lens. In addition, control
commands are confirmed with a short, blue
flash signal, irrespective of whether the
command comes from an infrared signal or
direct from the remote control panel keys.

Assembly

Connect the cable to the M218 as described in
the chapter
configuration that matches your requirements

the slot-holes at the sides or the drilled holes
located at the corners.

Please note: In either case, you must make
sure that the screws are only finger tightened,
otherwise there is a danger of cracks
occurring in the board.

5V operation with Exception/Evolution

Different power supply levels can be used with
the M218. If the solder pad on the rear of the
board, which is labelled 5V is closed (solder
bridge plugged), the M218 can be operated
with a +5V power supply. This is necessary if
the M218 is connected to an

Exception

Please check the 5V solder pad in each case
as otherwise, your M218 will be damaged.

Options

There are two solder pad fields on the rear of
the board, labelled A and B (see Connection
plan). the factory setting for both these pads is
open, i.e. not bridged.

Option A
In some cases, it can be advantageous to turn
the IR receiver off. This can be done with
solder pad A.

Solder pad A closed (solder bridge in place)
Æ IR receiver: Off

Solder pad A open (no solder bridge in place)
Æ IR receiver: On

Option B
Using option B, you can re-address the tuner
command (remote address) from tuner to
AUX3. This is only necessary if a second tuner
has been built into the M51. In this way, for
example, you can listen to the first tuner in the
main room (and Zone 1) and independently of
this, use the second tuner in Zones 2 – 4.

The following steps are necessary:

1. Put solder bridge B in place
