Overview
The MDK-C5 keypad is a beautiful wall-mounted interface
for C-Series controllers. It features a gray scale screen,
menus and navigation buttons to easily nd and control
music sources and to make changes to system settings
and room audio levels. The alarm and sleep timer add extra
functionality.
This double-gang keypad oers responsive hard buttons
to access power on/o, music pause, volume up/down,
and menu shortcuts. The OK button in the center activates
a menu choice and the navigation buttons allow you to
move through menus and lists, as well as provide source
controls. The buttons' LED brightness is adjustable and can
be dimmed at the owner's discretion. It also supports IR
reception for use with a remote control.
The gray scale LCD screen displays real-time information
such as Playlist, Channel, Station, Artist, Song Title, Genre,
and more from the RNET audio sources.
The MDK-C5 is designed to control a C-Series system such
as the MCA-C5 controller amplier multiroom audio system.
It controls Russound source equipment, including the SMS3
Smart Media Server, iBridge™ Dock and Bay, and the ST2
Tuner with AM/FM and/or satellite radio.
Most controller and source setup functions are performed
through SCS-C5 programming software; however, a few
installation steps are completed through the MDK-C5
menus, including setting time and date, keypad brightness
and contrast, and adjusting room audio properties. The
MDK-C5’s installation screen provides a gateway for online
support for the system when needed.

For best viewing and usage, the MDK-C5 should be
mounted at thermostat height, or about 58"-60" (1.5m) from
the oor.
To install a double-gang keypad, you will need a UL/CSA
approved plastic 32ci double-gang wall box. Attach the box
to the wall with appropriate fasteners.
For installations employing a retrot box or P-ring, the two
foam spacers on the rear of the keypad’s metal back plate
can be removed for a better t.
Route CAT-5e wire to the wall box from the controller. There
should be not more than 250 feet of CAT-5e cable between
the keypad and the controller.
Terminate the CAT-5e cable with an RJ-45 connector, using
the T568A wiring standard. Insert the RJ-45 connector into
the jack marked “Controller” on the back of the keypad.
Mount the keypad in the wall box and attach the cover
plate. Repeat the steps until all keypads are installed.

Mounting screws must be hand-

CONTROLLER / KEYpAD CONNECTION
Controller / Keypad Connection
The MDK-C5 keypad is designed for use with the C-Series
controllers, and connects to a keypad port near the top
left on the rear of the controller. These RJ-45 ports support
MDK-C5 keypads (and up to eight UNO-TS2 touchscreens
per controller).
The eight keypad ports correspond to the eight zones
supported by the MCA-C5. When a connected keypad is
powered on, the zone becomes active and the corresponding
zone LED lights up on the front of the MCA-C5 controller.
Connections are made using CAT-5e with RJ-45 connectors
using T568A wire conguration. 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 conguration,
use CAT-5e 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 (12VDC1A)
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.
