MRC88 EMULATION MODE: FEATURE DESCRIPTION & PROGRAMMING
MRC88/SmartPad™
LCD Emulation Mode:
The full line of SmartPad™ LCD Controllers can be seamlessly integrated into
a new or existing MRC88 System over the standard CAT5 cable. This allows
the SmartPad LCD™ Controller to access any macro programmed in the
MRC88 Controller without the use of IR commands. All Macro Programming
resides in the MRC88 allowing for ease of initial programming and any
upgrades that should occur.
Connecting the SPLCD
to the MRC88
Controller:
1. Connect one end of the CAT5 to the
Keypad
port on the rear of the
MRC88 Controller and the other end to the
Controller
port on the rear
of the SPLCD Panel.
2. 16Vdc Power must still be run directly to the +16VDC and GND
Terminals on the rear of the SPLCD panel.
Note:
The SPLCD cannot be powered directly from the MRC88 Controller.
3. If using multiple keypads in a single Zone, the last keypad in line must
have the Zone Termination Jumper installed.
Note:
The SPLCD comes with the Zone Termination Jumper installed by
default.

Address Jumper to the specific address.
