Connecting the Keypads
**
Be sure to power off the controller before disconnecting or connecting Cat5e cables or speaker cables.
**
The KC6 and KC7 keypad have been designed specifically to work with the MC-66 and MCA-66 (hereafter referred to
as “controller”). The KC6 and KC7 are not suitable for use with other systems.
Keypads should be connected directly to the controller via Cat5e (or Cat6) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends
of the cable. There are two RJ-45 connectors on the back of each keypad. Either RJ-45 connector can be used. The
other connector is used for connecting up to two total keypads in each zone. This is discussed in more detail later in
this section. Once connected, keypads will control the zone in which the Cat5e cable is inserted on the controller.
Daisy Chaining Keypads
- It is possible to connect a maximum of two keypads into any one zone by “daisy-chaining”
the keypads together using the extra RJ-45 connector on the back of each keypad. This is only done for convenience
as adjusting one keypad will adjust the other keypad in that same zone. If you want to separately control the volume of
multiple pairs of speakers in one zone, you will need to set up “sub-zones” (see Sub-zones - pg. 9).
Note: The KC6 and KC7 cannot be “daisy-chained” to those from another zone. “Daisy chaining” must be accom-
plished by using either two KC6’s (daisy-chained to one another) OR two KC7’s (daisy-chained to one another).
Please note that the system will only operate properly if the RJ-45 connectors have been attached using either
the 568-A or 568-B standard diagram towards the end of this manual.
