Damaged Wiring Options
In the event that a Cat. 5 cable is damaged, you can still
get an MC-5000, MC-5011, MC-3000, MC-3800, MC-3000
OD, or MC-3800 OD to operate, providing that six of the
eight Cat. 5 wires are good. To do so, eliminate the first
wire and the eighth wire from the RJ-45 connector, at both
the wire harness and keypad termination point. Please
note, you cannot re-wire an MC-6000 (Keypad with Video
Display) in this manner. The above keypads wired in this
fashion will work as all other keypads.
CAT-Link and ADA Bus Wiring
In some cases, you may end up upgrading a project previously wired with ADA Bus four
conductor wiring. As all Suite 16 keypads have only RJ-45 Cat
Link termination, you will require the BUS-CAT Module per key-
pad. This in-line ADA Bus screw terminal connection to male RJ-
45 jack will permit the keypads to connect to the system. Here
ADA suggests using the WH-3000 Wiring Harness (all ADA Bus
jacks) to terminate the ADA Bus keypad wiring at the mainframe,
while the keypads themselves terminate with RJ-45. In this situa-
tion, you will need to run the Suite 16 System at a baud rate of
1200 because the ADA Bus wire to the keypad location is not fast
enough for the optimal system baud rate of 19200. When running
the Suite 16 System at 1200, the initial (when the power switch on
the Suite 16 is first turned on) power up sequence will take slightly
longer. Also, at 1200 baud, using more than two Aquarius outputs
will most likely slow system operation down some. Otherwise,
most system features will work without incidence.
IR Repeating
Whether you are running a Suite 16 System at 1200 baud
or the standard 19200 baud, the IR receivers mounted in
the MC-5000, MC-5011, MC-3000 and MC-3800 can IR
repeat to source components via the IRL-5000. This will
permit you to use the original source remote control from a
remote room location. Please note, that while most source
components operate at 40KHz, some do not and as such,
will not IR repeat through the IRL-5000. The IRL-5000 has
a trim pot adjustment for the IR carrier frequency which is
only used to fine-tune IR repeating. Also, in order to em-
ploy IR repeating, the keypad’s IR needs to be active. On
the MC-5011, this requires that the jumper pin on the cir-
cuit board be in place. On the other keypads, the IR re-
ceiver is turned on and off via on-keypad programming.
Also, the ports on the IRL-5000 need to have their jumper
pins set so that IR repeating is active.
