MET-6N
Metreau™ 6-Button Keypad with Navigation
The MET-6N Metreau 6-Button Keypad with Navigation (FG5794-01) features source
control, a navigation wheel that adjusts levels and provides up, down, left, right and
select button options, as well as an LED bar for visual level feedback. The MET-6N
can be used as in individual keypad or in conjunction with the MET-7 and MET-13
keypads (FIG. 1).
The MET-6N is an AxLink keypad, suitable for use in NetLinx Control Systems.
Note
: Keypad wallplates not included. See Recommended Accessories below.
Specifications
Navigation Wheel - Pushbuttons
The top, bottom, left, right and center points on the Navigation Wheel are pushbuttons
that provide events on Channels #7, #8, #9, #10 and #11, and can be programmed like
any other AxLink button. FIG. 2 shows the button layout of the Navigation Wheel:
Navigation Wheel
The Navigation Wheel itself can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, and is
intended to provide level control (for example volume or lighting levels).
•
The light on the Navigation Wheel can be illuminated by activating channel #11.
•
When rotated clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides a channel event on
button #12.
•
When rotated counter-clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides a channel
event on button #13.
•
When rotated (clockwise/counter-clockwise), the Navigation wheel provides
level events on Level #2. Refer to the
Metreau™ Keypads Operation/Reference
Guide
for details on using Level control with the Navigation Wheel.
AxLink Device Addressing
Metreau Keypads used in NetLinx applications require a unique numeric AxLink
device address of 1-255. Consider specifying the device address for each keypad
before final installation.
•
The MET-6N uses two AxLink devices addresses - one for the Keypad itself, and
a second one for the IR Receiver.
•
The device address of the IR Receiver is auto-assigned to be one number higher
than the device address of the Keypad itself (to which the firmware is uploaded).
•
The MET-6N will appear as two devices in the
Devices
frame, because it’s built-
in IR Receiver is recognized as a separate online device.
•
Firmware is uploaded to the device address of the Keypad (not the IR Receiver).
For example, if the MET-6N is set to device address 127, then the IR Receiver
on that MET-6N will appear as device number 128. Firmware must be sent to the
keypad, not the IR Receiver (in this example, device 127).
Setting the Primary Device Address
1.
If connected, disconnect the power supply.
2.
Locate the 8-position mini-DIP switch on the rear panel (see FIG. 4).
3.
Set the DIP switch according to the values shown in FIG. 3.
The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are in the ON
position. Note that the ON position is indicated on the DIP Switch. As an example, the
DIP switch in FIG. 3 defines AxLink device number 129 (1+128=129).
If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the power connector to
enter the new device number into memory.
Installation
Note:
Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.
