Connection with a CT Series Receiver
The HD6 is designed to operate seamlessly with a CT
Series Receiver. Simply connect the HD6's CT RS-232
LINK connector to the CT's RS-232 connector using a
straight trough CAT5 cable. At power up, the HD6 will
learn all of it's settings from the CT. No additional HD6
setup is required. The LINKING process takes about 15
seconds.
When connected in this manner, the HD6 will stay in sync
with the CT Receiver for keypad and IR messages.
Dedicated input and page/event settings that depend on
video detection will continue to work as expected even
though the video is connected to the HD6 instead of the
CT. Refer to the CT manual for details on dedicated
inputs and page/events.
Stand-Alone Operation using IR or
Keypad
In the absence of a CT Receiver, the HD6 may
be operated directly with an IR eye or keypad.
The HD6 contains no internal IR eye. An
external eye or keypad must be connected for
operation in this configuration.The connection is
made through a 3-pin phoenix style connector.
The connector pr12V at up to 200mA to
power an external eye or keypad and an IR input
compatible with IR data b5 and +12
volts. This is strictly a one-way connection. The
HD6 is not capable of providing display feedback
or page jumps on the keypad.
From the factory, an HD6 has zones A-F set to
code-sets 11-16, respectively. And it will also
respond to code-set 0 - whole house. Refer to
"Code-Set Description and Overview"
on page
19. These default settings may be changed
using
- see page 20.
Stand-Alone Operation over RS-232
In the absence of CT Receiver, the HD6 may be operated directly with an external controller or PC. Simply
connect the controller to the HD6's main RS-232 I/O connection. See
on page 16 for
details on making this connection to a standard RS-232 connector. Leave the CT LINK unconnected. In this
configuration the controller will "see" the HD6 and be able to control it directly. See the HD6
