Speaker Mute Relay (MODE 3.1 Only)
The Speaker Mute Relay is typically used in situations where a multi-channel amplifi er has been added to an MZC Zone Pre-
out for additional rooms or ‘sub-zone expansion’. The MODE 3.1 Speaker Mute Relay gets connected to a SpeakerCraft EPR-
1.0 Speaker Muting Relay. This allows the individual room keypads to mute their corresponding speaker pairs and not the
zone, which would mute all of the rooms in the ‘sub-zones’. The following describes the connections for the Speaker Relay
Mute and sub-zone speaker connections.
1. Connect ZONE SPEAKERS L+,L-/R-,R+ OUTPUTS from the MZC or an external amplifi er to the EPR-1.0 AMPLIFIER Terminal
L+,L-/R-,R+ INPUTS.
2. Strip approximately
1
⁄4 inch of each lead and twist the stripped ends so there are no loose strands that can cause
shorts.
3. Connect the EPR-1.0 SPEAKERS L+,L-/R-,R+ OUTPUTS to the L+,L-/R-,R+ terminals on each speaker pair as appropriate.
4. Connect the WHITE STRIPE LEAD from the EPR-1.0 to the +RELAY Terminal on the MODE 3.1.
5. Connect the BLACK LEAD from the EPR-1.0 to the -RELAY Terminal on the MODE 3.1.
6. Visually check for loose ends. Lightly pull the wire to confi rm connection.
7. Install speakers into dry-wall cut-outs or SpeakerCraft InstaLLock™ New Construction Brackets (if used) as appropriate.
NOTE: EPR-1.0 Relay mute will not function without proper confi guration in EZ-Tools.
MODE FREE WALL DOCK
1. Terminate the CAT5 pulled in pre-wire on the Wall Dock end with a RJ45 connector, using the pin-outs detailed in
Table 1 in this section.
2. Connect terminated CAT5 to the RJ45 Connection Port on the bottom of the Wall Dock prior to installing the Wall Dock.
NOTE: It is recommended to run the wire up through the bottom knock out hole in the Back Box to give more room for
the RJ45 connector, to help alleviate any issues of pinching the wire during installation. Removing the bottom knock
out is recommended even if the wire has been pulled into the box through another hole, to help alleviate any issues of
pinching the wire when mounting the Wall Dock. See Section: Wall Dock and MODE Free Keypad Installation for addi-
tional information.
3. Terminate the MZC end as appropriate for the model MZC used and connection method, (RJ45 for MZC-64 or RJA-1.1;
plug-in connector for MZC-66, KCM-1.0/MZC-88), using the pin-outs detailed in Table 1 in this section.
4. Connect the terminated CAT5 to the appropriate MZC or KCM-1.0 Terminal.
MODE FREE COORDINATOR
1. If the Coordinator is located at the system head-end, using a CAT5 cable terminated with RJ45 connectors on both
ends in a pin-pin (passthrough) configuration, connect one of the Expansion Ports on the Coordinator to one of the
Expansion Ports on the MZC.
NOTE:
In this application, The Coordinator will receive power from the MZC and it is not necessary to connect a Power
Supply to the Coordinator.
2. If the Coordinator is located in a remote location, (up to 500’ from the MZC), terminate the CAT5 pulled during pre-wire
with RJ45 connectors on both ends in a pin-pin (passthrough) configuration and connect one of the Expansion Ports on
the Coordinator to one of the Expansion Ports on the MZC.
NOTE: If the Coordinator is more than 500’ from the MZC, connect a SpeakerCraft PS-1.0 Power Supply to the 12V Jack
on the Coordinator.
