Keypad Installation
1.
Check whether or not you can route the wire to the
location you have chosen.
2.
To install a single-gang keypad, you will need to use an
UL/CSA approved plastic single-gang (18 ci) electrical box.
3.
Route CAT-5 cable to the junction box from the
MCA-C3/C5 system controller.
4.
Terminate the CAT-5 cable with an RJ-45 connector,
using the T568A wiring standard.
5.
Mount the keypad in the electrical box and attach the
trim plate.
SLK-1-1 User Mode
The User Mode allows the user to select an audio source,
adjust the volume level in the zone, turn the zone on / off ,
and issue system-wide All On / All Off commands.
To turn the zone on or off , press and release the power
button. A press and hold while in the On state will issue an
All On command and a press and hold in the Off state will
issue an All Off command.
To select a source, press and release the source button
to increment to the next available source. The confi gured
source name will be displayed on the keypad's LCD panel.
Incremental volume adjustments can be made by either
pressing and releasing the volume up or down button,
while pressing and holding will ramp the level until
released or the maximum / minimum level is reached. The
volume level is displayed by a bar graph at the bottom of
the LCD panel and a numeric value is displayed during
adjustment.
The SLK-1 is designed for basic zone control. As such,
it does not provide control of connected sources or
adjustment of zone audio properties such as Bass, Treble,
Loudness or Balance. These can be confi gured through
SCS-C5 Confi guration Software. The SLK-1 is an ideal
companion for systems using the My Russound application
on supported hand-held devices.
The FAV button is a user favorite preset. The preset can be
selected at any time to recall source selection and volume.
To store a preset, adjust the room setting and select a
source to be stored. Press and hold the Fav button until
"F1 SAVED" is displayed on the LCD panel. Now a press
and release will recall the favorite preset. When used with
the DMS-3.1, the current medial will always be saved (e.g.
SiriusXM station or internet radio station)
The FAV button corresponds to the F1 button on SRC-C5
remote.
SLK-1 Color Conversion
You will need both small straight and Phillips head screwdrivers
to change the color plates on the keypad. The Bezel Molding and
Buttons will be switched for the new color plates.
1. If installed, remove the SLK-1 keypad from the wall. Gently
pull the Trim Plate off the mounting plate. Unscrew the unit
from the electrical box, and disconnect the cable.
2. Unscrew the plastic Frame Plate. Keep the Frame Plate and
screws for reattachment later.
3. Remove the Bezel Molding by gently pressing in each of the
4 locking tabs (2 per side) while pushing it away from the metal
frame. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the LCD panel, do not use
hard edged tools.
4. Remove the Display Lens from the Bezel Molding by gently
pushing from the rear to overcome the clips.
5. Once the Display Lens is removed, put aside for reattachment
later. Be careful to not damage the display.
6. Remove individual button caps by pulling them off the key mat.

7. Reverse the order for installation, taking the following
precautions:
a. Place button caps correctly on the key mat. Make sure the key
mat is positioned properly on the circuit board and without dust
or debris on the button contact points prior to attaching the
Bezel Molding.
b. Make sure that there isn’t any debris or fi ngerprints on either
the display or back of the Display Lens prior to reattachment.
