QUICK START GUIDE

MZC-88

Multi-Zone Audio/Video Amplifier Controller

ABOUT MZC-88 QUICK START GUIDE

MZC-88 QUICK START GUIDE is intended to provide top-level instructions for Installation, Configuration and

Connection of a SpeakerCraft MZC-88 System. MZC-88 Quick Start focuses on a MZC-88 ‘default’ system, that is, a basic eight zone system that includes up to eight audio/video sources, (including the two internal

AM/FM Tuners) that matches the MZC-88 default project included in the EZ-Tools download. This Quick Start

Guide can also be used for getting more sophisticated systems started, but when planning and installing expanded systems with multiple controllers, external amplifiers, multi-room zones or when changing the layout of the keypad buttons, it is highly recommended that the MZC-88 Hardware Installation Instructions be used for reference and guidance. Additionally, the Hardware Installation Instructions provide much greater detail in regard to instructions given here. MZC-88 Hardware Installation Instructions are available as a download from www.speakercraft.com.

Once a MZC system has been installed, though capable of some basic functions out of the box such as

ON/OFF, Source Selection and Volume/Mute, configuration of MZC-88 advanced features requires Speaker-

Craft EZ-Tools Programming Software. EZ-Tools and the EZ-Tools MZC Programming Instructions can be downloaded from: www.speakercraft.com.

These closures can be programmed within EZ-Tools for Momentary, Toggle and Open/Close Paired operation. Spring loaded terminals accept wire sizes from 24 to 14 AWG. Internal relay contacts are rated at 2A/30V AC or

DC.

3. EXPANSION PORT/LOOP – Two, RJ45 jacks primarily used for looping system data to multiple MZC-88’s in expanded systems.

These jacks can also be used for connection of specialized RS485 controlled products such as the SpeakerCraft MODE

Adapter/Base for adding iPods and SpeakerCraft RSA-1.0(s) for control of multiple RS232 devices.

4. RS232 DATA I/O – One, DB9F terminal allows the MZC-88 to control certain RS232 compatible devices such as source components and lighting systems.

5. CONTROL PORT – One, 3.5mm 4-circuit mini jack used for all Controller and Keypad programming. It also accommodates factory firmware upgrades in conjunction with the Firmware Upgrade On/Off Switch, located on the front panel, item 19. See:

EZ-Tools MZC Programming Instructions for additional information. This por also serves as a bi-directional RS-232 serial interface allowing the MZC-88 system to be controlled by external devices.

6. PHONE PAGE IN – One, RCA jack provides input for line level audio from sources such as telephone systems, door mics or other audio paging devices. This jack is programmable in EZ-Tools, to turn on as an ‘Event’, when triggered by the DOORBELL/

STATUS IN Jacks, item 8.

7. VIDEO PAGE IN – One RCA jack provides input for composite video from doorbell paging systems, cameras or other composite video sources. This jack is programmable in EZ-Tools, to turn on as an ‘Event’, when triggered by the DOORBELL/

STATUS IN Jacks, item 8.

8. DOORBELL/STATUS IN 1 & 2 – Two, 3.5mm mini jack trigger inputs work in conjunction with the PHONE and VIDEO PAGE IN jacks, items 3&4. When triggered, the Page Inputs can be turned on in selected zones as programmed in EZ-Tools. If Paging is not required, these jacks can also be programmed as STATUS INPUTS for power management of Source or Zone components. POLARITY: TIP= +V; SLEEVE=GND. INPUT VOLTAGE: 3-30V AC or DC to trigger the ON condition. Voltage must drop below 1V AC or DC for OFF.

9. COMMON IR OUTPUT – One, 3.5mm mini jack outputs all IR commands from IR sensors and Keypads regardless of zone origin.

POLARITY: TIP=SIGNAL; SLEEVE=GND.

10. HI/LO SWITCH – One, two position switch, sets high or low IR power output to the Common IR Output jack. Set to the LO setting when driving standard low power emitters (SpeakerCraft IRE-1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0). Set to emitter (SpeakerCraft IRE-5.0 Blaster) for teaching IR commands into learning remotes. HI OUTPUT: 110mA; LO OUTPUT: 13mA.

CAUTION: The HI position will smoke low power emitters!

HI when driving a high power

11. COMMON STATUS OUT – One, 3.5mm mini 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. POLARITY: TIP=+12V DC; SLEEVE=GND. MAX OUTPUT: 100 mA at 9.5V DC.

12. STATUS IN – Six, 3.5mm mini jack trigger inputs primarily used for power management of common source components that do not have discreet IR ON/OFF codes. POLARITY: TIP=+V; SLEEVE=GND. INPUT VOLTAGE: 3-30V AC or DC to trigger the ON condition. Voltage must drop below 1V AC or DC for OFF.

13. FM/AM/75Ω – One, F-type terminal, connects to a SpeakerCraft HED-1.0 Masthead Amplifier. The HED-1.0 should be located away from the system components to reduce RF interference and improve reception. FM Dipole and AM Loop antennas connect to the HED-1.0. CAUTION: Do not connect an antenna directly to this terminal. There is DC voltage present to power the HED-1.0. This voltage will interfere with antenna performance and possibly cause electrical short if not terminated properly.

14. IR OUT (Source) – Six, 3.5mm mini jacks, one per Source, output IR commands to external common source components.

When a source is selected, from a keypad or remote control, IR commands are routed directly to that source. This allows selective control of multiple same-brand, same-model source components (multiple Satellite Receivers, DVD Players etc).

POLARITY: TIP=SIGNAL; SLEEVE=GND.

15. IR LOOP – Six, 3.5mm mini jacks, one per Source, provide connections for an IR signal path for external common source components, when using multiple MZC-88’s in expanded systems. i.e. If using two MZC-88s, the SOURCE IR OUTS on the MZC

Slave unit would connect to the appropriate SOURCE IR LOOPS on the MZC Master unit to pass Source IR commands between controllers from expanded zones. The IR OUTS on the Master connect to IR EMITTERS attached to the source components for source IR control from all zones. POLARITY: TIP=SIGNAL; SLEEVE=GND.

16. L, R & V INPUT (Source Left/Right Audio/Video Input) – Eighteen RCA jacks, three for each Source, provide left and right line-level audio and composite video signal inputs for up to six external common source components.

17. L, R & V LOOP (Source Left/Right Audio/Video Loop) – Eighteen, RCA jacks, three per Source, provide buffered left and right line-level audio and composite video outputs that are typically used to loop Source Audio signals to additional zone inputs on Slave MZC-88’s in expanded systems. i.e. The L, R, V LOOP on the MZC Master would connect to the appropriate L, R, V

INPUT on MZC Slave 1. Slave 1 would then loop to Slave 2, etc. These outputs can also be used to drive local components, such as a local surround receiver, when not used for expansion.

3

18. L & R PRE-OUT – Two, RCA jacks, one pair per Zone, provide left and right line-level audio outputs for driving external high-power/audiophile two-channel amplifiers in large or outdoor zones or a critical listening zone, or driving a multi-channel amplifier for additional rooms, (sub-zone expansion) where needed.

19. IR OUT (Zone) – Eight, 3.5mm mini jacks, one per zone, provides dedicated Zone IR output for exclusive control of a specific zone component. (i.e., a dedicated satellite receiver or DVD player, that cannot be controlled from any other zones).

POLARITY: TIP=SIGNAL; SLEEVE=GND.

20. L & R SPEAKERS – Eight, removable screw-down connectors, one terminal per zone, provide quick connection of the internal amplifiers to Zone stereo speaker pairs. WIRE GAUGE: 14 to 24 AWG.

21. VIDEO OUTPUT – Eight, F-type terminals, one per zone, provide a dedicated composite video output for each zone. 75 ohm outputs provide matched line impedance for high quality video over RG6 cable for lengths up to 500 feet.

22. VC/NVC – Eight, two-position switches, one per zone, switch the PRE-OUT jacks to VC - internal Volume Control (variable, zone volume controlled by keypads or IR remote) or NVC - No Volume Control (fixed, zone volume controlled by in-wall volume control or volume control on an external device such as an A/V Receiver). In either case, the tone control action remains available for room “EQ” settings.

23. IEC TYPE AC MAINS RECEPTACLE AND FUSE – One, Standard IEC 3-conductor AC line cord receptacle, connects to included AC power cord. Also houses the rear panel replaceable AC mains fuse (T6.3AL 250V).

Typical MZC-88 System showing Keypad, Source and Speaker connections. A MZC-88 System will have limited functionality right out of the box such as ON/OFF, Source Select and Volume/Mute. Common source control and power management must be configured in EZ-Tools. High power or multi-channel amplifiers can be added to the individual zones for high audio output in large rooms or outdoor zones or when adding additional rooms or “sub-zones” to a default system. Additionally, the MZC-88 has two programmable contact closures for control of lifts, screens, drapes etc. and an RS232 port for control of compatible components or whole-house sub-systems. The MZC-88 also features two Doorbell/Status inputs that can be used for common source power management or tiggering a system ‘event’ from a doorbell module. For additional information on connection, configuration and programming of these optional features see: MZC-88 Hardware Installation Instructions and EZ-Tools MZC Programming Instructions.

MZC-88 SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION-HEAD END

The MZC-88 and external source components will typically be installed at the System Head-End. They can be mounted on shelves in a wall unit, entertainment center or closet, or rack mounted in a standard 19” rack mount system. Source components such as

DVD/CD players and VCR’s should be installed so the user has easy access for loading discs and tapes.

Though heavy, the MZC-88 should be mounted at the top of the equipment rack so heat generated by the controller will not affect the other system components. Always leave adequate space between system and source components for airflow. Failure to do so can cause damage to the components from overheating. Never block the vent holes on the top or bottom of the MZC-88. Blocking the vent holes will cause the controller to overheat. For additional information on MZC-88 systems using multiple controllers or external amplifiers, see: MZC-88 Hardware Installation Instructions.

5. Plug connector into the appropriate Zone SPEAKER Terminal.

INSTALLATION-ZONES

Keypads should typically be located near a door or entry point to a room. Avoid mounting keypads, IR receivers, volume controls or any other control devices in areas of high moisture such as sinks, showers, bathtubs etc. Care should be taken to avoid mounting Keypads and IR receivers in locations subject to direct sunlight. Sunlight can interfere with system operation and, in time, cause deterioration to the keypad and trim plate materials.

WARNING: Never mount a keypad, IR receiver or volume control in the same J-box as high voltage devices. This can affect system performance and is a violation of Electrical Code in some areas. (Be aware of local Electrical and Building Codes. These codes can affect the type of J-boxes permitted, mandate wire specifications and regulate other aspects of the installation that may not pass inspection if necessary.)

CONNECTIONS-ZONES

Keypads

1. Connect each Keypad cable run to the appropriate Zone Keypad. When not using RJ45 connectors, be sure to maintain consistent color code when making connections . When using RJ45 connectors, be sure the RJA-1.1 adaptor pins are oriented properly (EZ-Pad). Refer to: MZC-88 Quick Start Guide/Keypad Connections.
