Connect the Keypads to Delta
Looking at the rear of the keypad with the connectors at the bottom, you will
see (2) plug type 4 pin receptacles. The connector on the right side terminates
the 4 conductor wire from the Delta controller and the connector on the left side
passes the audio to the speakers in the zone (FIG. 3).
Note
: Although speaker wire is commonly used, you can also use CAT-5 or
other paired wiring.
Connect the Speakers to the Keypads
Speakers will be wired according to their positive and negative terminals, which
are usually Red and Black for each speaker. Once installed in their locations,
the speaker wiring is typically run to the keypad location and is connected into
the connector on the left side of the keypad.
Repeat this for each zone in the system (up to six).
Note
: There are alternative connection schemes for speakers directly to Delta
or via external amplifier. Refer to the Delta Series Audio Controllers Operation/
Reference Guide for details.
Please see the complete Delta Installation Manual for details.
Power Up and Test the Basic System Operation
Make sure the Delta controller is plugged into the wall and the power switch on
the back panel is in the ON position. The Delta system should now be ready for
initial testing.
To test the system connections, activate one source from a keypad. Begin by
manually activating one of the available audio sources such as the tuner and
move through each zone and test that keypads respond to the on/off, volume,
and tone control commands and that the source can be heard in all zones on
both speakers.
Note
: We assume the programming has not yet taken place.
The basic functionality of the Delta controller (which means turning Delta on/off,
volume up/down and treble/bass/balance) are functions that can be performed
without programming (FIG. 5).
If a tuner module has been installed, all of the basic tuner operations will also
be able to function without any programming so you will have sound for a test
signal right away.
The IR repeaters must be installed and basic source component commands
must be programmed to select and/or control any external sources however.
Until then, you will have to manually turn on and start the external source
component if used as a test source!
Turning a Zone ON
Pressing the Source key turns the system on in the room you are in and also
turns that source on if it has not been previously selected in another zone. The
indicator next to the source will light Red. Through Matrix’s own Dynamic
Macro process, sources that are muted or paused will be turned off after they
are idle (not selected in any zone) for ten minutes.
Press the active source button again to turn the zone off.
Volume Control
Control of the system volume is very intuitive because of discrete buttons for
the Volume UP and Volume DOWN command. When increasing or decreasing
volume, the progression is in 3dB steps when the volume is half (of maximum)
or below. Above the halfway point, the progression drops to 1dB steps so you
can fine tune the adjustment without worry of over-driving speakers by
surprise.
Tone Control
The tone control mode allows the user to adjust Bass, Treble, and Balance on
a “per zone” basis.
To enter tone control mode, press VOL UP & VOL DOWN buttons
simultaneously until LED’s begin to cycle in a counter-clockwise motion.
This will enable the BASS and BALANCE settings first. At any time during
adjustments, If you want to return the settings to default, press and hold the
center keypad navigation button. When you are satisfied with your adjustment,
press (but not hold) the center keypad navigation button to save the bass and
balance adjustment. This will take you to the treble and balance adjustment
mode.
Once again, once adjustments are complete, press (but not hold) the center
keypad navigation button to return to normal operation mode.
