SYSTEM START UP

TROUBLESHOOTING

Start up

1.  Make connections of sources, speakers, network and keypads to the 

controller(s). 

2.  In a multiple controller configuration, set the controller IDs to unique 

numbers. Use CAT-5e linking cables of no more than 18 in (45.7 cm) to link 

the controllers. Link by interconnecting the RNET Link ports.

3.  Plug in and power the sources and controllers.
4.  The left LED showing power on the front panel of each controller should 

be lit. The zone lights will cycle in a moving pattern until the controller is 

fully booted, at which time the zone lights will go out.

5.  Unlock the system using your Russound Certified Installer Credentials. 

6.  Perform a firmware update check using either Web-SCS or the SCS-C5 

software.  Update all Russound system components if required. 

7.  Configure the system using WEB-SCS or SCS-C5, depending on the 

requirements of the system configuration. 

8.  Check operation of the keypads, power on, and cycle through sources. 

For correct operation, each RNET source must be configured with a 

unique source ID and must match the assignment made with the SCS-C5 

Configuration software. 

9.  Check zone keypads. The zone LED should be lit on the front of the 

controller if the corresponding keypad is on. The LED will not be lit if the 

keypad is not turned on or is absent.

10.  Check operation of all keypad functions. 
11.  Check for functional IR signal pass-through (if applicable). 
12.  The system is now ready to use.

Troubleshooting

•  When the controller and the keypads are powered ON, all the corresponding 

zone LEDs on the face of the controller will be green. Improper connection 

may cause one or more LEDs not to be lit. Check all connections.

•  Cycle power by pressing the power button, waiting 10 seconds, and then 

pressing the power button again. 

•  Check connections from the keypads and speakers to the controller(s).
•  If a keypad doesn't respond to commands ensure the OS update jumper on 

the rear of the keypad is in the RUN position (on the lower pins). 

Factory Initialization

If SCS-C5 cannot connect to the MCA-66, follow these steps to perform a 

network configuration reset.

• Press and hold the Reset button on the rear of the controller for 3 seconds 

and release.

For a full factory initialization, erasing all configuration settings:

• Press and hold the Reset button on the rear of the controller for 10 

seconds.

Note: 

Performing a factory initialization will restore the unit to its factory 

default state, including software lockdown.  The unit will require valid 

Russound Certified Installer credentials and an internet connection in order to 

unlock the device again.
