Example 1.3: We will use the example commands from before, and show you an example of
what the responses may look like

Keypad Connection
The CI6 outputs can be controlled by the MR164 or Mr166 keypad and/or an external
controller or computer (using the RS232 port), so keypads may not be needed.
More than one or two keypads can be used in a zone and nine (9) is the
maximum number of MR164 or Mr166 keypads per CI6 allowed.
Note: MR164 and MR166 keypads are not designed for outdoor use,
high humidity, high temperatures or any extremes.
The MR164 and Mr166 contains an almost all brand infrared repeater and most
functions can be controlled by the Knoll RB12 remote control. RB12 commands can
easily be stored in a learning remote.
The MR164 is connected to the CI6 with CAT5 or CATe wire. Each keypad can have a
home run or be daisy chained on one wire. If you daisy chain one zone and
another zone on one wire you may lose some infrared functionality. Each
room or zone has a unique IR pass-thru port as indicated on the rear of the CI6. In
addition there is an all room IR pass-thru port. If you combine two or more rooms or
zones on one CAT5 wire the ability to individually split infrared signals will be lost.
Each keypad has two RJ45 connectors that are both inputs and outputs for daisy
chaining keypads together. Five of the eight CAT5 wire conductors are used.
Note: It is very important to use a top quality
RJ45 8/8 crimper tool. We strongly suggest
using a cat 5 / RJ45 electronic tester to verify
the wire conductors.
