IMPORTANT NOTE: A MRC88 System can be a single controller with keypads for up to Eight zones or two
connected controllers and keypads for up to Sixteen zones. There are three different setup modes in the
Dragon Drop-IR Software. The Basic mode allows quick setup and programming for an Eight zone system. It
assumes all zones will use factory defaults and will behave exactly the same. The Advanced mode allows
customization of system configuration for functions such as zone link, monitor lockout, unique IR programming
by zone, etc. The Expanded mode allows programming of systems with more than Eight zones using linked
MRC88 Controllers.
Each section of this manual will indicate which sections apply to the three programming modes and setups. A
section with: BASIC/ADVANCED/EXPANDED would apply to all system configurations. A section with:
ADVANCED/EXPANDED would only apply to systems requiring advanced programming or that have more
than Eight zones, etc.
In the Expanded mode, the controller for zones 1-8 will be referred to as the PRIMARY CONTROLLER. The
controller for zones 9-16 will be referred to as the SECONDARY CONTROLLER.
