Multi-Room Control Processor
MRP-64
KeYPad InPuts
Six (6) RJ-5
Standard CAT5 cable
Provide power output, IR signal input and RS-5 communication for
any combination of any six RTI keypads (excluding K and similar
large in-wall touchpanels which are limited to no more than three).
COnneCtInG IR eMItteRs tO OutPut PORts
The IR output ports on the MRP-6 are compatible with industry standard
infrared emitters and infrared repeating systems. Each output port is
capable of driving up to four infrared emitters directly. More than four
infrared emitters requires an amplified connecting block. A connecting
block can be wired up to 000 feet away from the MRP-6 using #22 AWG
(minimum) wire.
nOte:
The IR output ports on the MRP-6 are NOT compatible with RTI
communication and sensing modules such as the CM-232, VPS- and
SPS-.
adJustInG IR OutPut GaIn
The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the four output
ports. The MRP-6 is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for
most equipment, and it should only need to be adjusted if the attached
equipment is not responding reliably.
If adjustment is needed, rotate the IR output controls on the front of the
MRP-6 clockwise for higher output power, or counter-clockwise for lower
output power.
InFRaRed HIGH Out
The MRP-6 is compatible with industry standard IR connecting blocks.
Connect the HIGH OUT and GROUND terminals to the signal input and
ground terminals on the connecting block. This is useful if you have many
devices to control, or you want to extend control into other rooms.
This output has short circuit protection, but does not provide a series
resistor for current limiting.
It should not be connected directly to IR
emitters
.
InFRaRed ReCeIVeRs
The MRP-6 is compatible with all RTI keypads and touchpanels as well as
industry standard IR receivers and repeater systems. Connect the SIGNAL
INPUT, GROUND, and +2VDC (if power is needed) terminals to the signal
out, ground, and power (if needed) terminals of the desired device.
If the MRP-6 sees an incoming system trigger code with a matching zone
ID, it will execute the command or macro associated with that code. The
MRP-6 can be programmed to either block or pass miscellaneous IR data
through its output ports.
