Keypad Installation
1. Check whether or not you can route the wire to the
location you have chosen.
2. To install a single-gang keypad, you will need to use an
UL/CSA approved plastic single-gang (18 ci) electrical box.
3. Route CAT-5 cable to the junc tion box from the
MCA-C3/C5 system controller.
4. Terminate the CAT-5 cable with an RJ-45 connector,
using the T568A wiring standard.
5. Mount the keypad in the electrical box and attach the
trim plate.
SLK-1-1 User Mode
The User Mode allows the user to select an audio source, adjust the volume level in the zone, turn the zone on / o , and issue system-wide All On / All O commands.
To turn the zone on or o , press and release the power button. A press and hold while in the On state will issue an All On command and a press and hold in the O state will issue an All O command.
To select a source, press and release the source button to increment to the next available source. The con gured source name will be displayed on the keypad's LCD panel.
Incremental volume adjustments can be made by either pressing and releasing the volume up or down button, while pressing and holding will ramp the level until released or the maximum / minimum level is reached. The volume level is displayed by a bar graph at the bottom of the LCD panel and a numeric value is displayed during adjustment.
The SLK-1 is designed for basic zone control. As such, it does not provide control of connected sources or adjustment of zone audio properties such as Bass, Treble, Loudness or Balance. These can be con gured through SCS-C5 Con guration Software. The SLK-1 is an ideal companion for systems using the My Russound application on supported hand-held devices.
The FAV button is a user favorite preset. The preset can be selected at any time to recall source selection and volume.
To store a preset, adjust the room setting and select a source to be stored. Press and hold the Fav button until "F1 SAVED" is displayed on the LCD panel. Now a press and release will recall the favorite preset. When used with the DMS-3.1, the current medial will always be saved (e.g. SiriusXM station or internet radio station)
The FAV button corresponds to the F1 button on SRC-C5 remote.
