OVERVIEW:

The MC-6011 for the Suite 8 and Suite 16 systems has the same basic func-

tionality as the MC-5500 and MC-4500 including the features described in this

document.

The MC-6011 fits in a single gang electrical box and is covered with a single

gang Decora style wall plate. While it is the same size as the single gang MC-

5011 and MC-5511, it operates more like the advanced MC-4500 and MC-

5500. Naturally, because it has fewer buttons, some of the functions work

differently.

One of the key benefits of the MC-6011 is that it can access all sixteen inputs of

a Suite 16 system. It can also skip over inputs that are not applicable in a

particular zone when installed with both Suite 8x8 and Suite 16 systems.

The MC-6011 features 11 buttons, an IR receiver, and a 12 character alphanu-

meric OLED display. The buttons are backlit by green LEDs and the Off button

has a dual green/red LED.

OPERATION:

Turning off a zone or the entire system.

To turn off a room, press and release the Off button. When the zone is on or the system is completely off

(All Off), the Off button is green. It is red only when the zone is off but another zone(s) is still on. To turn

off the entire system, press and hold the Off button until it flashes.

Turning on a zone and changing inputs.

To turn on a room to the last source used in that zone, press and release the Sel button. To select a

specific input prior to turning on a room, use the Up and Dn buttons to scroll through potential inputs, and

once the desired input is displayed, press the Sel button. If you forget to press the Sel button, the input will

automatically engage in three seconds anyway. To change inputs at any time, use the Up and Dn buttons

to scroll through potential sources, then press the Sel button to engage the desired input. An arrow will

appear to the left of the source name for inputs that are not selected, making it easy to spot the input that

is already in use (because that input will not have an arrow to the left).

Adjusting Volume

Once a zone is on, the Vol Up and Dn buttons to change a rooms volume level. The keypad’s display will

indicate volume level feedback from the Suite 8x8 or Suite 16.

Controlling Sources

Once an input is selected, the four transport buttons (<<, >>, >, ||) along with the Sel button become

source transport functions. These functions send commands to that inputs assigned Source Control

option (if any) including a Tune Suite tuner module, an IRL-5000 port, a Special CD address, or a relay on

the LVI-3800.

Additional Feature Options

The Mode button chooses alternate functions for the MC-6011 buttons. The eight main functions are:

1. Tone Controls

2. Tone Presets

3. Alarm Clock (Requires CMB-1 System Clock)

4. Sleep Timer

5. Party

6. Volume Set

7. Room Scan

8. Keypad Lock

Entering any of these modes starts a 10 second timer in the keypad. If a button is not pressed within that

time, the MC-6011 will exit the Mode option and return to displaying source information. After the Keypad

Lock mode, pressing the MODE button once again will display EXIT, the same as letting the timer time-

out. Please note that pressing and holding the Mode button will prompt you to enter a code to access the

MC-6011’s setup options.

NOTE: Some of the modes may not show up while pressing the mode button. When the zone is off only

alarm clock, room scan and keypad lock will display. If the CMB-1 clock module is not connected to

the ADA bus or the control never received a clock calibration, the alarm function will never show

on the display. Also, like the MC-4500 and MC-5500, some or all of these eight features can be elimi-

nated from being displayed on the keypad. This setup can be specific to individual keypads. For ex-

ample, an MC-6011 in the bedroom might be set to display Alarm Clock and Sleep Timer, while the one in

the dining room does not display these options. This makes it possible for you to tailor the system to your

needs.

TONE CONTROL

When in the tone control mode, the Sel button will cycle through the various tone controls and update the

current setting. The Up and Dn buttons will adjust the selected tone control (These include bass, midrange,

treble, loudness contour and stereo enhance for the Suite 8; no midrange for the Suite 16. There is an

automatic feature that adds midrange to the selection menu when used with a Suite 8x8 and new Suite

16’s set to ship in 2005).

TONE PRESETS

In tone presets mode, the Sel button advances through the four tone presets, recalling them as the preset

number is displayed. For the Suite 8x8, there is an option to set the tone controls to flat.

ALARM CLOCK

NOTE: the alarm function will not display if the system does not have a CMB-1 clock module or if

the keypad was plugged in after system power-up and a clock calibration was not received.

Under the alarm clock menu there are three sub-menus; Alarm 1, Alarm 2 and Snooze Timer. Each alarm

allows the setting of time, days and input. The snooze timer is common for both alarms and increments by

minutes up to 15 minutes. The time setting hour format (12/24) is the same as what the keypad is set to

for its clock display.

After choosing the Alarm Clock mode, press the Sel button to display ALARM 1 SET, ALARM 2 SET, or

SNOOZE SET. For an alarm setting, press the Up button. If alarm 1 was used the display will change to

ALARM 1 ON, telling you if this alarm is active. The O of ON or OFF will flash, indicating this is a settable

parameter. The Up or Dn buttons will toggle the display between Alarm On and Alarm Off. Pressing the

Sel button will change to the time/day display. The hour, minute and days will be displayed. The flashing

cursor indicates which parameter may be changed. Advance to the next parameter by pressing the Sel

button and adjust that parameter using the Up and Dn buttons. Holding the up/down buttons will continu-

ously scroll through the choices. For the days, you can choose any single day of the week this alarm will

activate, Saturday or Sunday only, Monday through Friday only, or everyday of the week. After setting the

day, pressing the Sel button will bring you to the input setting. The input label corresponding to one of the

sources programmed for this keypad will be displayed with a flashing arrow next to it. Change to one of

the other sources with the Up or Dn buttons. You can also choose to perform a ROOM OFF or ALL OFF

for the alarm setting. The snooze timer is adjustable from 0 to 15 minutes. Press the Sel button until the

display reads Snooze Set. Now pressing the Up or Dn buttons will alter the snooze time. All alarm and

snooze timer settings are immediate. Once changed you may review them by stepping through the

setting parameters. Checking the alarm and snooze settings this way may be done at any time even if you

are not making any changes.

When the alarm goes off at the time selected and the alarm is not a room off or all off, any button on the

keypad except off acts as a snooze button. If the snooze time was set to 0 then the alarm will turn off. If

a time interval of 1-15 minutes was set, the keypad will wait this amount of time and activate the alarm

once again. Once the alarm goes off, after one hour time, the zone will turn off. This includes snooze

timer operation. If the alarm goes off and no button is pressed, the zone will shut down after 1 hour. If you

want the zone to stay on you must turn the zone off and then back on to cancel the one hour alarm timer.

If the keypad is locked, the snooze function will operate until the alarm mode has been cancelled or times

out, then the keypad will be locked (see keypad lock description). The alarm settings are stored in non-

volatile memory. If there is a power failure, once the system is powered again the alarm time will activate

normally.

SLEEP TIMER

The sleep timer counts down the set time period and turns the zone off. Choose the sleep timer mode by

pressing the Mode button. Using the Up or Dn buttons to set the sleep timer which is settable in 5 minute

increments up to 60 minutes. Once a setting is made the timer begins. To cancel the sleep timer, adjust

until the display shows SLEEP = OFF.

PARTY

This mode lets you temporarily makes the MC-6011 take over source selection for a particular Party

Group. Rooms are set to track Party Groups in the Suite 8x8 or Suite 16 Setup/Tester PC Program or on

the front of the Suite 8x8. Though there are currently 4 party modes for Suite 8/16 systems, you may

choose up to party 8 for future Suite systems. Press the Mode button to advance to Party. Use the

navigate Up and Dn buttons to choose a Party Group. Once the desired Party Group is displayed, press

the Sel button. Arrows will flank the Party Group number (>PARTY #<) and you can now proceed to select

an input for this Party Group by pressing the Up and Dn buttons as one would to normally select an input.

When the desired input is displayed, press the Sel button to engage that input to all zones tracking that

Party Group. While in the Party mode, the keypad will maintain the selected Party group for ten seconds

and then reset to normal room operation. Each Party function resets this 10 second timer.

VOLUME SET

The volume set mode lets you choose what volume the room will turn on with. Press the Mode button until

the display reads VOLUME SET. Pressing the Dn button will engage VOLUME LAST where the zone will

turn on each time to the last used volume. Pressing the Up button will store the current volume into

volume preset 1 and set the Suite 8/16 to VOLUME PSET1. With this setting the zone will turn on with the

volume setting stored in volume preset one, as well as the settings stored in Tone Preset 1 and Balance

Preset 1.

ROOM SCAN

The room scan mode on the MC-6011 is more limited than on the MC-4500 and MC-5500 because of the

limited number of buttons on the MC-6011. While you can access rooms like on the larger keypads, you

DO NOT have the ability to turn them on. You can adjust room volume levels and turn off rooms already

on but you cannot turn on rooms that are off.

Room scan lets you temporarily control another room. There are two room scan modes, AUTO SCAN and

MANUAL SCAN. Pressing the Sel button lets you toggle between auto scan or manual scan. Auto scan

will search for the next active zone, skipping all those that are off. If the system is off the keypad will

display ALL OFF and then AUTO SCAN indicating there are no active zones in the system. When auto

scan is selected, the Up and Dn buttons initiate a scan starting with the first zone through the max room

(see max room setting). This will be indicated by the display showing SCANNING….. When a room is

active, the display will briefly show the name of that room and then update to show what input it is set to.

The scanning control now becomes the control for that room, allowing for transport control (other than the

Sel button’s function), volume control and room off. The up/down navigation buttons will allow you to auto

scan up or down. The initial auto scan is always up, regardless of the scan direction you choose.

MANUAL SCAN lets your control scan all rooms. However, because you cannot turn on a zone that is off,

it is not very functional on the MC-6011.

KEYPAD LOCK

The keypad lock mode lets you lock any individual keypad or all keypads (MC-6011, MC-5500, MC-4500,

MC-3000 OD and MC-3800 OD keypads only). When a keypad is locked it still receives feedback from

the system to show the current status for inputs and second source functions but will not allow any buttons

to function. The setup menus are still accessible when a keypad is locked. A user settable 4-digit code is

required to access the keypad lock menu. The default code is 0000. Press the Mode button until the

display reads KEYPAD LOCK and then press the Sel button. The display will show CODE?, prompting

you to enter your 4-digit code. Using the Up or Dn buttons will enter the first digit and pressing Sel will

advance the cursor to the next digit. If you miss a digit, press Sel repeatedly to start over with the first

digit. When the proper code is displayed, press the Sel button. If you wish to lock this room or another

room, simply press the Up or Dn button. However if you want to either Lock All rooms or Change Code

(the access code) you must press the Sel button repeatedly after entering the code. The keypad will then

toggle between ROOM LOCK, ALL LOCK, and CHANGE CODE.

To enter ROOM LOCK, press either the Up or Dn buttons. The control will display THIS ROOM, indicating

you may now lock or unlock the control you are using. For room lock, your control will always be the first

choice regardless of its zone number. Pressing the Up button will lock the control, indicated by the display

showing LOCKED. The Dn button will unlock the control, indicated by UNLOCKED on the display. To

choose a different zone to lock use the Sel button to advance to the desired room. Each zone name will

be displayed as you scroll through them, limited by the max room value. Again, to Lock or Unlock a

particular room use the Up or Dn button respectively

When ALL LOCK is selected, use the Up or Dn buttons to lock and unlock all zones in the system just like

room lock.

In the event a customer has locked keypads and can’t remember the code or the process to unlock the

keypad, recycling power on the Suite 8x8 or Suite 16 will reset all keypads to the unlocked position.

To CHANGE CODE, press the Up button. The display will indicate CODE?=, prompting you to enter a

new 4 digit code. Using the Up and Dn button select the first numeric value in the four number code. Use

the Sel button to advance to the next numeric position and repeat. When the desired code is displayed,

press Sel one more time. A star will appear to the right of the code and the cursor will move to the first

number. In the event you wish to change the code, proceed to do so. If you like this code, simply let the

keypad time out.

If you forget the code, it can be set to the default 0000 from the setup menu. Press and hold the MODE

button for 5 seconds until CODE _ _ _ _ is displayed. Using the number Up button, enter 0. If you passed

0, you can use the Dn button to go back. When 0 is displayed in the first position, press the Sel button to

advance the cursor to the next position. Again, use the Up to enter the next 0 and so on until four 0’s are

displayed. Then press the Sel button. The display will show LOCK = 0000, indicating the code was

changed to this default value. If the keypad was locked when you reset the code, you still have to enter it

to get into the keypad lock menu to unlock the keypad. Changing the code to 0000 from the setup menu

does not unlock the keypad. When a keypad is locked, the lock status is not stored in nonvolatile memory.

Cycling the Suite 8/16 power switch will clear a keypad lock.

1110 NIGHT LIGHT ON AND OFF TOGGLE

The MC-6011 can be set to one of two states when the zone is off. The standard operational state is Night

Light On. When the keypad is in a Room Off state, the Up and Dn buttons are lit green and since another

room is on, the Off button is lit red. When in an All Off State, the Up, Dn and Off buttons are lit green.

In the Night Light On state, the Off button is lit red when the room is off and another room is still on.

However, when the system is in an All Off state, all of the keypad’s buttons are off. Only the blue 12

character display is on (dimmed). Once the zone is turned on, the keypad buttons all light green. As such,

if you want an MC-6011 to be as dark as possible when the system is in All Off, you can individually set

each MC-6011 for the Night Light On option.

To toggle between these two options, press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds until the display

shows CODE _ _ _ _. Enter 1110 and then press Sel. The display will show either NIGHT LT ON or

NIGHT LT OFF.

If the keypad needs to be as dark as possible even when the zone or any other zone is on, see blanking

mode under code 1113.

1111 KEYPAD TEST MODE

The MC-6011 can be set to a test mode in which pressing the buttons will cause the display to provide text

information even if the MC-6011 is connected to only a power source. To enter this mode, press and hold

the Mode button for 5 seconds until the display shows CODE _ _ _ _. Enter the code 1111 and press the

Sel button. Press keypad buttons. To exit press the Mode button.

1112 IR RECEIVER ON AND OFF TOGGLE

The MC-6011 features a built in IR receiver. Because the IR receivers can interfere with keypad program-

ming from your PC or even Program All functions, as well as getting interference from infrared emitting

sources such as lighting fixtures, displays and sunlight, ADA will typically ship the MC-6011s with their IR

receivers in the off state. To turn them on or to toggle between on and off, press and hold the mode button

for 5 seconds until the display shows CODE _ _ _ _. Enter the code 1112 and then press Sel. The display

will indicate the new state of the IR receiver, either IR ON or IR OFF.

1113 BLANKING MODE

The MC-6011 can be set so that after no function or no feedback update has been activated on the keypad

after 5 seconds, the MC-6011 goes completely dark. This does not mean that the keypad does not work.

Pressing any keypad function will activate the display and button LEDs. Even feedback updating (for

example, when songs change on an XM Radio station) will cause the keypad to wake up. Naturally, after

a few seconds, it goes dark again. To toggle between normal operation or Blanking Mode, press and hold

the Mode button for 5 seconds until the display shows CODE _ _ _ _. Enter 1113 and press the Sel button.

The display will indicate the keypad’s new mode, either BLANKING ON or BLANKING OFF.

right of the display. Changes are immediate. Once the mode button is setup, it may be uploaded to other

MC-6011, MC-5500, MC-4500 keypads from the PROGRAM ALL function.

1115 CLOCK SET

The MC-6011 can be used to set the system clock (CMB-1). You can also use this setup feature to

determine if this keypad displays time in 12 or 24 hour mode. There are several steps that permit you to

set the year, hours, minutes, month, date, day and clock mode (12 or 24 hour).

To enter the Clock Set mode, press and hold the Mode button for 5 seconds until the display shows CODE

_ _ _ _. Enter 1115 and press the Sel button. The Display will read CLOCK SET. Press the >> or <<

buttons to change the year. Use the > button to advance to SET HOURS. Again, use the >> or << buttons

to change the hour. If you wish to advance to the next setup, use the > button. To go back to the previous

setup, use the || button. Press > to SET MINUTES and use the >> and << buttons to change the minutes.

Press > to SET MONTH and use the >> and << buttons to select the proper month. Use the > button to

advance to SET DATE and use the >> and << buttons to select the proper date. Press the > button to SET

DAY and use the >> and << buttons to set the right day of the week. Press the > button to SET 12-24 HR

and use the >> and << to toggle between 12 HOUR MODE and 24 HOUR MODE. Press Mode to exit. All

changes are stored in the CMB-1 System Clock in real time. 12/24 hour mode is for the keypad only.

1116 ROOM SET (ZONE SET)

The MC-6011 will need to be assigned to control the proper room. To do so, press and hold the Mode

button for 5 seconds until the display shows CODE _ _ _ _. Enter 1116 and press the Sel button. The

display will read SET ROOM #, where the number indicates its current zone setting. Use the >> and <<

buttons to change the room (zone) number if necessary. When the correct room number is displayed,

press the Mode button. The keypad will confirm ROOM = # where the number is now the new zone

number and then return to displaying that zone’s current status.

1117 1200 BAUD RATE

Typically, the MC-6011 as well as all other keypads, ADA Bus devices and system mainframe components

will be set to operate at ADA’s standard baud rate of 19,200. However, on rare occasions, you may run a

system at the slower 1200 baud rate. Prior to doing so, it is suggested that you consult with ADA regard-

ing this matter. None the less, if you need to alter the baud rate of the MC-6011, press and hold the Mode

button for 5 seconds until the display shows CODE _ _ _ _. Enter 1117 and press the Sel button. The

display will indicate 1200 BAUD.

1118 19,200 BAUD RATE

Typically, the MC-6011 as well as all other keypads, ADA Bus devices and system mainframe components

will be set to operate at ADA’s standard baud rate of 19,200. However, if your keypad has been set to the

slower 1200 baud rate and you need to reset it to the standard 19,200 baud rate, press and hold the Mode

button for 5 seconds until the display shows CODE _ _ _ _. Enter 1118 and press the Sel button. The

display will indicate 19200 BAUD.

1867 INSTALLER MODE

The MC-6011 can be setup in several ways. It can be loaded from another keypads, from a PC program,

or directly, using its display and buttons. If you are doing a global setup, assigning inputs, source control,

room and source names that will be identical across all keypads, you can use load all keypads using the

PC program or from another keypad. If you are making keypad specific assignments, you will need to

have other keypads off line when using the PC program or make keypad specific changes directly on the

keypad itself.

To enter the installer area, press and hold the extra button until the display reads CODE _ _ _ _. Enter the

code “1867” the Sel button. The display will read INSTALLER. Pressing the >> or << buttons will advance

through these options:

INPUT CONFIG - SOURCE CNTRL - SOURCE LABEL - ROOM LABEL - MAX ROOM - CHECK SETUP

- PROGRAM ALL

The > button drills down one level deeper and the || button always backs up one level. If you seem lost

deep in the MC-6011’s program, pressing || repeatedly will always back you up to one of the above listed

options.

Input Configuration

While the display reads INPUT CONFIG pressing the > button will engage the input configuration mode.

The display will read NORMAL INPUT. Here there are a total of nine options, the most common of which

the normal input configuration option is the most common:

NORMAL INPUT - PARTYGROUP 1 - PARTYGROUP 2 - PARTY GROUP 3 - PARTYGROUP 4 -

PARTYGROUP 5 - PARTYGROUP 6 - PARTYGROUP 7 - PARTYGROUP 8

(Please note than not all Suite systems have all eight Party Groups. Most have only four Party Groups).

By pressing >> or <<, you will be able to advance through the above nine options. Again, pressing || will

return you to the previous level.

Normal Input refers to simply selecting a device to the room number (zone) that the keypad is set to.

Party Group inputs will send a source/party group command. As such when an input is displayed on the

keypad that is programmed to a Party Group, if that input is selected, rooms set to track that Party Group

number will switch to that source. While the MC-6011 features Party control options under the Mode

button for house-wide one button entertainment, the feature when presented at this level permits you to

setup MC-6011 keypads so that their input selection always issues Party Group commands. This is

extremely useful when you want to setup several zones to constantly track the same input (such as zones

that architecturally open to each other).

For example, if a living room, dining room, and entry foyer require independent volume, bass and treble

settings, they need to be each their own zone. However, if these three areas are open to each other, there

may be a desire to prevent different sources from ever playing simultaneously in these zones/rooms. As

such, these rooms can be set to turn on together but never play a different source. To do so, one of the

Suite 16 or Suite 8x8’s Party Groups will need to be dedicated to this group of zones/rooms. Each of the

room’s keypads will need to be programmed so that the source buttons on these keypads engage sources

specific to that party group. Finally, in software, using the ADA Suite 16 or Suite 8x8 PC Software, all

these zones/rooms will need to be set to the corresponding party group.

Regardless how you want the keypad to work, either normally or as a Party Group controller the following

steps apply.

When you have selected one of the above options, such as NORMAL INPUT, press the > button. The

display will then read the first input option, INPUT 0 and then IN SOURCE 1.

Here, the IN SOURCE # refers to the sixteen possible input labels in order as the MC-6011 can access all

sixteen inputs on a Suite 16 (it is not limited to just eight source buttons like the MC-5500 and MC-4500).

Using the Up and Dn buttons you can advance through these potential inputs.

Also here, the INPUT # refers to the physical connection on the Suite 8x8 or Suite 16. Basically put, you

can link any input label to any A/V jack. On an MC-5500 or MC-4500, the link would seem to be more

physical because a keypad’s source button would be directly linked to a input connection on the Suite 8x8

or Suite 16. Either way, the concept is the same.

Typically, IN SOURCE 1 will be linked to INPUT 1, IN SOURCE 2 linked to INPUT 2, etc. However, there

may be occasions in which you will want to alter a link or input. In particular, since the MC-6011 can

access up to sixteen inputs, you may want to have certain inputs skipped over (not seen by the user). This

is extremely important if a) you don’t have that many components or b) you want certain rooms to be

unable to access inputs available in other rooms.

Input 0 or any of the party group inputs that read 0 refer to no source selection at all. If an IN SOURCE #

is set to INPUT 0, then it will be skipped over. If for example, input labels 7-16 (IN SOURCE 7-16) are all

set to INPUT 0, then the keypad will only scroll through inputs 1-6 when the user presses the Up an Dn

buttons. A keypad can also be set to skip over inputs. For example, if input labels 1-5 and 9-12 are audio

sources accessible everywhere and inputs 6, 7 and 8 are video sources that need not be accessed in the

powder room, the powder room MC-6011 could be set to access inputs 1-6 and 9-12 only, skipping over

the unwanted video inputs. If the keypad is displaying input 6 and the user presses the Up button, the

display would advance to the input 9 source name. Again here, IN SOURCE 7-8 and 13-16 would need to

be set to INPUT 0.

To change input connection assignments, use the >> and << buttons. To advance to another input label,

use the Up and Dn buttons. When you have an assignment linked that you want to save, you must press

the SEL button. The keypad will echo INPUT OK and revert to cycling between the INPUT # and the IN

SOURCE #. Changing between sources does not display the current link. Use Check Setup to verify

existing Source Input links.

Source Control

To advance to the SOURCE CNTRL option you need to be on the top layer. To get there press the ||

button repeatedly. Then press the << or >> button until the display reads SOURCE CNTRL and then

press the > button. The display will read IR LEARNER. To advance to one of the following, press the >>

or << buttons. To return to the previous level, press the || button.

IR LEARNER - ADA TUNER - SPECIAL CD - LVI - NO FUNCTION

The above five options refer to the various source control options that are built into the MC-6011 keypad.

By moving the >> or << so that the display reads IR LEARNER, you are ready to lock in sources to an IR

LEARNER port. Press > to select the IR LEARNER while it is displayed.

IRL-5000

Once you press the > button while IR LEARNER is displayed, the display will change to read IRL AD-

DRESS1. Using the >> and << buttons, you can advance through the additional IRL-5000 addresses but

bear in mind, IRL-5000 ADDRESS 1 is most typically used. If you have more than one IRL-5000 in your

system (you can have up to nine), then one would be set to address 1 and the second to address 2. Use

the || button to return to the previous level.

While the display reads IRL ADDRESS1, pressing the > button will take you to the next level where the

display will read IRL 1 OUT 1 and then switch to IN SOURCE 1. To change to a different input source

label, use the Up or Dn buttons. To advance to other IRL-5000 ports, use the >> or << buttons. Each time

you change either the source input label or the IRL-5000 port, the display will cycle showing the current

link. To lock this link, press the Sel button. The display will confirm IRL OK and return to the displaying the

current link.

To link source input labels to the Tune Suite, CD servers, or low voltage relay switching device (LVI-3800)

press the || button until the display reads IR LEARNER. If you passed IR LEARNER ending up on

SOURCE CONTROL, press the > button to reenter.

ADA Tuner

To advance to the ADA Tuner, use the >> or << buttons. When the display reads ADA TUNER. Press the

> button to enter this option. The display will read TUNER ADRS 1. Using the >> or << buttons, you can

scroll to the address of the Tuner (this is not the module output number). Typically, Address 1 is the

default address used and should not be changed. If you have a Tune Suite loaded with four modules, the

first three are set under Address 1 (modules 1-3) and the fourth module is set under address 2 (module 1).

Note that this address setting is not directly tied to the Tune Suite’s rotary dip switch address selector as

the Tune Suite’s 16 settings have different options assigned to them.

Unless you changed the address, when the display reads TUNER ADRS1, press the > button. The

display will switch between TUNER `- OUT1 and IN SOURCE 1. To select a different source input label,

press the Up or Dn button and the display will advance to the next IN SOURCE #. To select a different

tuner module number, use the >> or << buttons. When the appropriate link is displayed, press the Sel

button to lock in this link. The keypad will respond TUNER OK, indicating that the source input label will

now track this tuner module.

To exit the Tuner setup and proceed to Special CD or LVI-3800 links, press the || until the display reads

ADA TUNER. To exit completely, press the || again.

Special CD

To engage a special CD setting, you must first be certain that you have a component that specifically

operates on ADA Special CD commands. ADA’s Aquarius Hard Drive Servers are such a device and have

been embedded with the Special CD command sets. ADA also provides the MSC-1 Music Server Con-

troller for interfacing with AudioRequest. Other server providers are integrating their products with the

ADA Special CD command set. Check with ADA or your CD Server provider to verify that the product you

are using will work bi-directionally with ADA.

To navigate to this setting, make certain you are in the SOURCE CNTRL level and using the >> or <<

buttons, advance until the display reads SPECIAL CD. Then press > button. The display will read SPE-

CIAL CD 1 and IN SOURCE 1. To select a different source input label, press the Up or Dn button and the

display will advance to the next IN SOURCE #. To select a different Special CD Address (there are eight),

use the >> or << buttons. When the appropriate link is displayed, press the Sel button to lock in this link.

The keypad will respond CD OK, indicating that the source input label will now track this Special CD

address.

LVI-3800

The LVI-3800 is a low voltage relay control device that provides up to seven contact closures correspond-

ing to a keypads: >, <, >>, <<, stop, pause, and main buttons. It is useful for controlling devices that lack

either an IR or RS-232 control interface. To lock a source button to control the LVI-3800, make certain that

you are in the SOURCE CNTRL. Use the >> or << buttons to navigate until the display reads LVI. Press

> to enter the LVI menu and the display will read LVI 1 and IN SOURCE 1. To select a different source

input label, press the Up or Dn button and the display will advance to the next IN SOURCE #. To select a

different LVI Address (there are eight), use the >> or << buttons. When the appropriate link is displayed,

press the Sel button to lock in this link. The keypad will respond LVI OK, indicating that the source input

label will now track this LVI address.

No Function

No Function is useful in rooms where you do want to be able to select a component but completely

remove all control options. As such, users can listen but they can’t touch. To lock in a No Function for a

source, make certain that you are on the Source Control level and press the >> button until the display

reads NO FUNCTION. Then press the > button and the display will cycle between NO FUNCTION and IN

SOURCE 1. To change the input source label, use the Up and Dn buttons. When the desired input source

number is displayed, press the Sel button. The keypad will read NONE OK and revert to showing the link.

To exit the source setup mode, press the || button until the display reads SOURCE CONTROL.

Source Labels

Press the >> button to advance to SOURCE LABELS. Source Labels are the names of the sources that

are connected to the Suite 16 or Suite 8x8. The keypad’s display can read up to eleven characters. This

permits you to define that component by name. Whether you are using eight or less sources, more than

eight, or the full sixteen sources on a Suite 16 System, the keypads need to be programmed with all

sixteen input names. By default, inputs 9-16 are pre-labeled in the keypads as INPUT 9 through INPUT

16.

While the keypad is displaying SOURCE LABELS, press the > button. The display will offer two options

accessed by pressing the >> or << buttons (STNDRD LABEL or CUSTOM LABEL). When the display

reads STNDRD LABEL, press > and the display will read FORMAT A. Using the >> or << buttons will

advance through the six standard formats (A-F). These formats coincide with the standard ADA formats

found in the ADA product Guide. These make labeling sources quick and easy and also provide a good

starting point for even custom source labeling. While a desired format letter is displayed, press the > (not

Sel) button to lock in that label set. The keypad will echo LABEL OK. To exit the Standard Label setup

mode, press the || button.

To customize source labels for either the first eight or all sixteen source labels, use the >> or << buttons

until the display reads CUSTOM LABEL. Then press the > button. The display will read the first of sixteen

inputs, INPUT 1. Using the >> or << buttons, you can navigate through all 16 source inputs. When the

display is on an input whose label you wish to alter, press the > button. The first character will blink on the

selected label.

You can now proceed to change the label either character by character or using a library of premade

source names. Use the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons to access the 32 pre-made options. To create

completely custom labels or modify a premade label, use the Up and Dn buttons to change characters

and the >> and << to move the cursor position. When the label you wish to save is correctly displayed,

press > to lock in changes and the display will confirm LABEL OK. To exit source labeling completely,

press the || button until SOURCE LABEL is displayed.

ROOM LABEL

To advance to Room Labels, press the >> button when the display reads Source Labels.

All system room labels are stored in each control and the control head (on a Suite 8x8). MC-5500, MC-

4500, MC-6011 or Suite control heads with version 1.1 or greater firmware may edit 12 character room

labels and upload them to other controls. The keypad PC program also has room labeling ability.

While the display is reading ROOM LABELS, press the > button and the display will show SET ROOM 1.

You may choose a different room by using the << and >> buttons. Press the forward play > button again

to display the room label for the selected room. The first character will blink. Use the Up and Dn buttons

to change characters. The >> and << buttons advance the cursor position. When the desired room label

is properly displayed, press the > button to lock the label into memory. The keypad will echo LABEL OK.

Press the reverse play || button to get back to the set room menu and choose another room label to

change. Once all labels are set as desired, the PROGRAM ALL function will upload all 99 labels to all

other controls in the system.

MAX ROOM

In the max room menu, the maximum number of rooms in the system is set. This will limit the choices of

valid rooms for the room scan and keypad lock features. In the Suite control head this will limit the room

choices once it is uploaded using the PROGRAM ALL function.

Press the > button to enter max room setting. The display will show MAX ROOM = ## where ##is the last

room number. Use the fast wind << >> buttons to change the max room number. Changes are immedi-

ate. To exit, press the || button.

Check Setup

When CHECK SETUP is displayed, press the > to verify keypad source buttons to input connection,

source input label number, source name, and source control settings for that input. Using the Up and Dn

buttons, select the other sources and the display will cycle between these four settings. To step back to

the previous level, press the < button.

Program All

Program All takes the information, including keypad source buttons, input assignments, source control

assignments, source labels, as well as room names and uploads them to all other keypads currently on

the ADA Bus. If you have some keypads currently on the ADA Bus that are custom programmed, you will

want to disconnect them because the Program All function will load them with the programming that is

internal to the keypad that is initiating the Program All. To program other keypads, use the >> or <<

buttons until the display reads PROGRAM ALL. Then press the > button and the display will read UP-

LOAD READY. To abort, press the || button. To begin the upload, press the > button again. The keypad

that is uploading will display UPLOADING. The keypads being programmed will read PROGRAMMING.

When the programming is complete, the keypad will exit the Installer Mode and the displays will read

UPLOAD DONE and PROGRAM DONE respectively.

To prevent Program All Errors, you should disconnect all IRR-5000s, BRT-1s, CMB-1s, and defeat the

IR receivers on MC-5511s and MC-5011s. Active IR receivers as well as the Baud Rate Translator and

Clock Modules can interfere with the complex Program All routine and cause programming errors.

MC-4500, MC-5500, and MC-6011 keypads automatically turn their IR receivers off during a Program All.

MC-6011 keypads can upload to all keypads MC-4500 and MC-5500 keypads can upload to MC-6011

keypads but only eight sources. MC-5000 keypads can upload but do not have the ability to create room

names and the maximum room number.
