3  Testing the system 

This chapter gives recommended test procedures to enable you to verify 
that the Systemline Modular multi-room system has been installed 
correctly and is operating to specifi cation. 

• Finally, using the original remote that was 

supplied with the hi-fi  system, take it to 
each of the zone rooms in turn and check 
that the system can be controlled via the 
infrared link. To check this, try skipping 
tracks on the CD player for example.

• To return any zone to standby, just press 

the 

O

 key on the remote or keypad. 

The Keypad and/or speaker LED where 
provided will change back to red. 

Note:

 If 

the local system input is active you may 
need to press the 

O

 key twice to reach 

standby.

3.2 Completing the 

installation

To complete the installation, go to each 
zone room in turn and fi t the grilles to the 
ceiling speakers. Screw all keypads and 
wall modules into their back boxes and fi t 
the facia plates.

Important:

 When fi tting the grilles to the 

active speakers (regardless of whether the 
IR is enabled or not) it is vitally important 
to align the badge on the grille with the 
corresponding small circuit board visible 
from the front of the speaker. The grille 
without the badge should be used for the 
passive speaker.

3.1 Test procedure

• Using a patch cord (assuming that a patch 

panel has been used) connect the system 
input from the system room to the RJ-45 
socket on the hub marked 

REMOTE AUDIO 

IN

. This connection is not required if the 

direct input to the hub is used.

• Using a patch cord (assuming a patch 

panel has been used), connect the fi rst 
zone room socket on the patch panel to 
the zone 1 input on the hub. Do not at this 
stage connect any other zones.

• Ensure that the hi-fi  system is connected 

to either the direct input or remote input 
(see 

Terminating the wiring

, page 6) and 

that a continuous music source is playing 
(CD or radio).

• Go to the zone 1 room. The keypad LED 

should be red (IR enabled speakers will 
also display the same colour LED).

• Using the RM1 remote or KPM1 keypad, 

press the 

O

 key and the LED will change 

from red to blue. The zone is now on and 
you should be able to hear music playing 
through both the left and right channel 
speakers. Check the 

VOL+/–

 function and 

Mute

 (RM1 only). 

• Repeat the process to connect all other 

zones.

• If at any point the system fails to respond 

as described, unplug the power supply 
from the hub (or simply switch it off at the 
wall socket) and refer to 

Troubleshooting

page 19.

• Once each zone is operating in the correct 

way, plug in a local music source (where 
provision has been made) to check each 
local input. Press the 

L

 key on the RM1 

remote, and the LED will change to green. 
This indicates that local input has been 
selected. 

Note:

 The zone must be on to 

select local input.
