M6 AUDIo ConTRoLLER WITh KEypAD SySTEM

The Proficient M6 System consists of four subsystems.

First, the keypads themselves can be configured in many key icon arrangements and placed in a one, two or three gang set-up to meet virtually any client requirement. They are connected via convenient

CAT5 cable with home-run lengths of up to 1000'

(305m or longer, if heavier gauge wire is used) to the centrally located M6 Multi-Zone Audio Amplifier/

Controller located near the controlled equipment.

The M6 contains the “brains” of the system, taking key location data from the keypads to trigger the actual controlling IR, RS232 and RS485 commands that are passed to all of the installed system components. Programming is accomplished by the use of proficient Editor, a Proficient developed

Windows software system. A fourth item, the optional Command Interface (sold separately), is an installer’s tool for learning and teaching special IR commands that are not included in the proficient

Editor internal library.

KEypAD ConfIGURATIonS

The M6 System comes with six single gang PMKIR pre-configured keypads, one for each zone as shown for the single gang version in figure 14. The cover plates and the other configurations are optional.

Each keypad comes with a set of factory installed

“default buttons” plus a good variety of additional buttons. The default buttons can be easily changed to meet the needs of the installation.

KEypAD fEATURES

The keypads come in four basic modules. PMKIR

(12 buttons) and PMK (13 buttons) are the master keypads and must be used in each system. As mentioned earlier, the M6 comes with a preconfigured version of the PMKIR, for the convenience of the installer. It is usable right "out of the box" in conjunction with a default project that is factory

15 programmed into the M6. The PMKIR includes an

IR receiver and has one less function button, but is otherwise identical to the PMK. The PNK Numeric

(16 buttons) and PFK Function (14 buttons) keypad modules can be thought of as “slaves” to the PMKIR /

PMK (they will not work alone), providing additional key locations for numeric and function commands.

KEypAD fEATURES ConTInUED

(Refer to figure 15)

1. pMKIR Source/function Buttons – Six of this set of eight buttons are programmed as source select for the M6. When the system is off, all buttons have a background green color. When a source button is pressed, it turns to a low-level red color to show that it is the active source and the system is on.

2. Keypad Expansion Terminal – This 16-pin header terminal is used to inter-connect the optional numeric and function keypad modules for expansion as needed. A ribbon cable is packed with each module for making these connections.

3. Address Switch – A unique hex address must be set for each master keypad when connected on a common bus within a single zone. Unique addresses are not required zone-to-zone. It provides up to 16 addresses (0 to F).

4. Snap Tabs – These tabs hold the decorator style insert panel to the metal mounting plate and are easily released for custom changing of the buttons.

5. Mounting plate – Standard plate allows the keypad module to be attached to standard in-wall

J-Boxes using the two screws provided. Allows attachment of standard decorator type cover plates

(also screwless snap-on plates).

6. IR Receiver Lens – Version PMKIR includes

Proficient’s exclusive ANS IR receiver, built-in. It allows the use of a handheld remote for control of system components.

7. Connection Terminals – for CAT5 home-run termination. +Relay and – Relay - for future use.

+12V – Powers the keypad, including the internal IR receiver on model PMKIR. Includes reverse voltage protection. Data – Sends IR control signals for control of system components. GnD – Return for power, IR signal and data. 485 A / 485 B – Balanced, bi-directional system communications data.

8. function Buttons – These lower four buttons (can be programmed for any function except source select.

9. numeric and function Buttons – Require programming via proficient Editor. All buttons glow background green and can be configured to go off after a set time, or stay on via proficient Editor.

M6 Multi-Zone Audio Amplifier/Controller

(Refer to figure 2)

The M6 is a six-zone, eight-source Audio Amplifier/Controller. It serves as the

“brains” of the entire keypad system. The M6 provides audio switching for eight sources with 30 watts per channel per zone.

Also includes two built-in AM/FM Tuners that allow programming of up to 10 station presets per tuner per zone, this ultimately allows tremendous flexibility in that different users can have different favorite stations programmed in different zones.

EXpAnSIon poRTS

RJ45 jacks provide for connection of specialized

RS485 controlled products and for looping to additional M6 controllers for zone expansion capability. Another function of these ports is that you can control installed system components with bi-directional data via touch panels or computers using RS232 protocol. Requires the Proficient

Control Module.

ConTACT CLoSURE

Provides a single pole dry relay contact to activate any device that can be controlled or triggered by a switch closure. The closure can be programmed within proficient Editor to be activated by keypad presses, Command Library IR, or within macros for Momentary, Toggle and Open/Close Paired operations. Spring-loaded terminals accept wire sizes from 28 to 14 AWG. Internal relay contacts are rated at

2A/30V AC or DC.

CoMMon IR oUTpUT & hI/Lo SWITCh

3.5mm mini phone jack provides a common IR output derived from all of the zone IR inputs and from keypad initiated IR commands derived from the internal IR library. High or low IR power output is set by means of the

hI/Lo switch. Set it to the Lo setting when driving standard low power emitters (i.e, Proficient IR single flasher). Set it to the hI position when driving a high power emitter (i.e, a blaster) for teaching IR commands into learning remotes. Caution: The hI position will damage or destroy low power emitters!

TO ANTENNA AMP

Riverside, CA. USA

Made in Taiwan

CoMMon STATUS oUT poRT

This 3.5mm mini phone jack will go high (+12V DC) when any zone is turned ON and will go LOW (under 1V

DC) when the last zone is turned OFF. The max. output of this jack is 100 mA at 9.5V DC.

AnTEnnA AMp poRT

Antenna Amp: One, F-type terminal connects to Proficient Antenna

Amp only. The Antenna Amp must be located as close to the antennas as possible. Connect the AM and FM antennas as shown on the Antenna Amp, and then connect the Antenna Amp to the

M6 with a run of RG type coaxial cable.

CAUTION: Do NOT connect an antenna directly to the Antenna

Amp terminal. There is DC voltage present to power the Antenna

Amp Connection of dipole antenna will cause a short circuit.

IR oUT JACKS

These 3.5mm mini phone jacks, one for each source, provide dedicated IR output to specific source components. When a source is selected on a keypad, IR function commands are routed directly to that source. This prevents cross-control interference between two or more sources that have identical IR commands.

120V 60Hz 1.8A ~

FUSE: T5AL 250V

IR Loop JACKS

These six 3.5mm mini phone jacks, one for each source, are provided exclusively for zone expansion capability when using two or more M6 controllers. They permit the source IR signals from the added zones to be carried to the source component emitters.

These RCA jacks – four for each source – provide audio signal inputs and buffered loop outputs, for each source. The buffered outputs can be used to drive local components or loop the signals to the source inputs of other M6 controllers when using them for zone expansion.

KEypAD ZonE InpUTS

These RJ45 terminals allow for easy connection of the inter-room wiring from keypads in the various rooms.

Normally this is accomplished using

CAT5 cable with home-run lengths of up to 1000'.

L & R SpEAKERS TERMInALS

These 4-circuit plugable screw-down terminals accept wire sizes from 14 to

28 AWG. They allow quick connection of the internal amplifiers to stereo pairs of speakers in the various zone rooms.

ConfIGURE ThE KEypAD BUTTonS

1. The keypads have a pre-installed set of buttons in place. These may not match the source and function arrangements you need or desire. To change them, release the tabs on each end of the keypad, figure 3, and remove the decorator insert panel, exposing the key buttons, figure 4.

2. Starting with the Zone 1 PMKIR (master keypad), and using the extra buttons supplied, if needed, move and place the source and function buttons in the arrangement you want. See figure 5. When you finish the arrangement, replace the decorator insert panel over the buttons, being careful to see that the buttons align correctly with the panel openings.

Press the panel down until the tabs “snap” into place.

3. Repeat these steps for each of the other zone master keypads. Each zone can have its own unique configuration… but, it is best to keep them as similar as possible to simplify programming and operation.

4. In the same way, configure the buttons on the numeric and function keypads (not included) that you may chose to use in some zones.

5. Connect all keypads to their assigned zones on the M6 as shown in figure 13. Be sure to strip then connect the various colored CAT5 leads to the correct terminals on each keypad end. Refer to figure 10.

The numeric and function keypads will not work on their own. They must be connected to a master keypad using the ribbon cable supplied (included with each model). The cable is symmetrical so it can be connected with the red striped side up or down, to best fit the configuration. figure 6 shows it connected so that the PMKIR master keypad will be to the right of the PNK numeric and PFK function keypads when mounted, whereas figure 7 places the PMKIR to the left.

If you want to use RJ45 connectors for connecting the CAT5 cable to the keypads, you can do so by using the Proficient model RJA-1.1 RJ45-to-Wire

Pin Adapters. See figures 8 & 9. Simply insert the

RJA-1.1 pins into the keypad’s connection terminals and snap the levers in place. Be sure to orient them correctly as shown.

AnTEnnA AMp

The Antenna Amp provides remote connection for the AM and FM antennas used with the M6. The

Antenna Amp can be located up to 100' away from the M6 and other systems components, reducing

RF interference thereby improving reception noise.

Lengths longer than 100' can be used, but expect reduction in tuner sensitivity in proportion to length.

(Refer to figure 11)

1. fM/AM To M6 – One F-type terminal connects to the Antenna Amp terminal on a M6 Panel via RG6 coaxial cable. FM and AM broadcast reception is output from this terminal and fed to the appropriate tuner section (AM or FM) inside the M6. Tuner 1 and

Tuner 2 are both fed from this connection.

note: The Antenna Amp is phantom powered via this terminal from the M6, so the run of RG6 must be an unbroken run with no splits or RF amplifiers.

2. flange Screw holes – Two, screw holes for mounting the Antenna Amp to a stud or wall surface.

3. AM Antenna Terminal – Two, spring clip terminals for connecting the included AM Loop Antenna.

Polarity: non-critical.

4. fM Antenna Terminal – One F-Type terminal for connecting the included balun and FM Dipole

Antenna, a 75Ω RG6 coax feed to an outdoor antenna or cable systems that carries FM Signals.

figure 11

Antenna Amp

TUnER SETUp ConnECTIonS

A) Install the included FM Dipole or high quality directional antenna for best reception, normally this will be in an attic space as high as possible. If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

B) Install the AM Loop antenna in close proximity to the FM antenna. Note: The further the AM antenna is located away from the electronic equipment, the better the AM reception will be. Various electronic devices emit RF noise. That noise is most likely to degrade performance of reception in the AM band.

C) Connect both antennas to the Antenna Amp, as indicated on the Antenna Amp, use the included balun for FM connect if necessary.

D) Use RG6 quad-shield coaxial cable, (up to 100’ in length), to connect the Antenna Amp to the

ANTENNA AMP Terminal on the M6, utilizing male ‘Ftype’ connectors.

note: The antenna connections MUST be made using the included Antenna Amp Do NOT connect any antenna directly to the ANTENNA AMP terminal on the M6 as damage may result. There is DC voltage present to power the Antenna Amp.

SySTEM ConnECTIonS AnD ConfIGURATIon factory Default System

As mentioned earlier, the M6 comes with a set of six pre-configured PMKIR keypads, one for each zone. In addition, the M6 is pre-programmed at the factory with a default project so that the system will function “right out of the box.” The installer can use this default as a base on which to build customized projects. The default project has the following functionality: (Refer to figures 13 & 14)

1. Six Source keys: TNR1, TNR2, SAT, CD, CD2, MP3

2. Six Function keys: BASS, TREB, MUTE, PWR, VOL UP,

VOL DOWN

3. The six Source keys are set as Zone ON keys and are programmed to select the M6 rear panel Audio

Source inputs as follows:

TNR1 = Tuner 1, TNR2 = Tuner 2, SAT = Audio

Source 3, CD = Audio Source 4, CD2 = Audio Source

5, MP3 = Audio Source 6. In addition, a Mute Off command is programmed under each Source key.

4. The six Function keys are programmed as follows:

BASS: 1st press changes Vol UP/Down to Bass Up/

Down. 2nd press = Bass Flat.

TREB: 1st press changes Vol Up/Down to Treble Up/

Down. 2nd press = Treble Flat.

: Volume Up command. Also serves as Bass or

Treble Up after first pressing BASS or TREB keys.

: Volume Down command. Also serves as Bass or Treble Down after first pressing BASS or TREB keys.

noTE: While in the Treble or Bass tone modes, the selected Source button will blink at a medium rate, to indicate the tone setting mode. The tone setting mode is defeated by one press of any button other than the Tone and Volume buttons.

MUTE: Set for Internal Preamp Muting. Toggles

ON/OFF. Pressing Source and Volume buttons also un-mutes. During Mute, selected source key blinks slowly.

PWR: Set as Zone Power OFF. Will NOT turn the zone

ON. Press and Hold for two seconds turns all zones

OFF (Whole House).

Whole house/party Mode

5. All zones are set for Whole House/Party Mode capability Whole House/Party Mode: Forces all zones to the same source and allows volume and mute functions to operate all zones in unison.

- To engage Whole House/Party Mode, press and

hold a desired Source button for longer than four

seconds. During press and hold, source button

blinks rapidly (busy).

- Release button when blinking stops. Source

button then turns Amber in color, indicating

system is now in Whole House/Party Mode.

- Source selection, Volume Control and Mute

functions will now operate in all zones from the

initiating zone only.

- To transfer Whole House/Party Mode control to

another zone, above steps are repeated from the

desired zone.

- To cancel Whole House/Party Mode, press and

hold a Source button from the initiating zone for

longer than four seconds (until blinking stops).

noTE: Zones other than the initiating zone will have red active Source buttons and will operate as normal independent zones.

6. Priority is set to ON for all zones. This means that commands from any keypad in any zone will execute, regardless of previous command executions in other zones.

7. When a zone is first turned on, the volume will be at a default medium background level. After that, it will come on at the last volume used prior to zone turn OFF.

A TypICAL M6 InSTALLATIon

Perhaps the best way to become familiar with the

M6/keypad system is to show its application in a typical installation. figure 13 shows a PMKIR keypad

(included) controlling the M6 and related source components in a six-zone application.

noTE: The system in figure 13 is given to illustrate the basics on how to configure and program a system, not to show all aspects of such an installation.

For instance, for simplicity, the speakers in each zone are not shown in figure 13, even though such components would be required for a complete working system.

noTE: Maximum recommended lead length for the keypads with CAT5 cable is 1000' (305m).

The recommended steps to install such a system would be as follows:

1. Pull all wiring for the keypads, speakers, etc., from the various zone rooms (home runs) to a central equipment area.

2. Set up and make all the necessary audio connections from the source components to the

M6, the amplifiers to speakers in rooms, etc.

3. Make sure all system components function first, with their own remote controls, before configuring the keypads.

4. Flasher placement: Locate each source component’s IR Sensor window. Place emitters on each of the source components and plug them into the corresponding Source IR Outputs on the M6.
