ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
EZ-Tools, in conjunction with the MZC-88 components and EZPads, is a very flexible and extensive programming and control
system. Advanced options are as follows:
DELAYS
1. In some cases, DVDs, VCRs and particularly Video Projectors, a component may require 1-4 seconds to fully execute
power ON, OFF, or some other function. This is usually not a problem unless the user presses the component’s Source
button very quickly after a power OFF command, or commands execute so quickly in a “Whole House On” macro that
Status is not established before the next Power command arrives. The Keypad could then show an ON condition when
in reality the component would be OFF.
2. To prevent this, place a delay just after the Power command for the related
Source Output under “System Turning
OFF” in Events Setup (and under the Source button, if needed at turn ON). To do so, left click the clock symbol
just above the Command List. A Delay line with a clock symbol will appear in the Command List. (Refer to Figure 36)

Programming Delays
3. Double left click the Delay line and adjust the Delay Time as necessary. Click OK.
NOTE: Keep delays to the shortest times possible to avoid long executions of the resulting macros.
4. When adding a Delay, it will appear at the bottom of the Command List. If there are several commands in a list, select
the Delay line and drag and drop it into position, before or after the command requiring the delay, within the list as
necessary.
