Backlighting
As delivered from the factory, the keypads have
automatic backlighting for the device buttons and
the button.
When a device button is pressed, the backlighting
for that button remains lit to indicate the currently
selected device.
The backlighting for the
button remains on
when the sound is muted. The backlighting turns
off when the button is pressed again or
when muting is cancelled by pressing the or
buttons.
All backlighting is turned off when the but-
ton is pressed and remains off until a device but-
ton is pressed.
NOTE
: The backlighting feature can be permanently
disabled during configuration of the keypads.
IR Sensor
An infrared sensor is located behind the dark oval
lens at the top of the keypad. This sensor receives
IR commands from a handheld remote control
aimed at the keypad.
IR commands received by the IR sensor do not
change the backlighting on the keypad. For ex-
ample, a MUTE command received from a hand-
held remote will not light the MUTE button on
the keypad.
MUTE
: The IR sensor can be disabled during con-
figuration of the keypads. Generally, the sensor
of a second keypad in a zone should be disabled
if there is a chance of IR signals reaching both
keypads simultaneously.
Configuring the keypads
With the default factory configuration, the keypads
are ready to use in a system with Rotel compo-
nents as described in the Operating the Keypads
section of the manual. However, the keypads can
be customized in several ways during setup. Op-
tions include:
• Learning commands from handheld remote
controls in place of the existing commands.
• Combining the commands in a SMART sequence
that is sent whenever a device is selected.
• Using two additional buttons as device keys, for
a total of six available source components.
• Disabling the infrared sensor on the front of
the keypad.
• Disabling the backlighting.
• Resetting the keypad to its default factory con-
figuration.
• Replacing the standard button labels with op-
tional labels.
This section of the manual provides instructions for
each of these configuration steps.
NOTE
: An additional customizing feature is
Cloning, which allows quick transfer of learned
commands and SMART sequences to additional
keypads. Cloning is covered in a later section of
the manual.
Using the DIP switches
All of the configuration options require the use of
small DIP switches located on the bottom of the
keypad. These switches are only accessible be-
fore the keypad is mounted in an electrical box.
Therefore, customizing should be completed be-
fore mounting the keypads.
The location of the DIP switches can be seen in
Figure 1 at the front of this manual. Here are the
default settings for all ten switches:
