5 1 Introduction The Systemline Wireless Commander can be used with both Modular Advanced and S6 Multi-room systems, giving all the benefits of the wired touch screen in your hand. This manual shows you how to plan, connect and configure wireless Commander touchscreens to your project and should be used in conjunction with the SystemNet 6-port hub instructions included in the Hub or S6 unit. The Commander system consists of three parts: so there can be more than one location for a Commander to recharge. Commander This is the wireless touch screen handset itself and contains a 2.4GHz two way radio interface. The Commander offers all the features supported by the wired touch screen but also has the ability to control any wirelessly enabled zone in the system. The Commander is sold with a matching charging station. Charging Station Wireless Junction Box This is a small unit that contains a 2.4GHz two-way radio interface and all the connectivity to control a Systemline Modular or S6 zone. Every zone that requires wireless Commander control must contain a wireless junction box. This unit is sold separately so you can activate up to 8 zones with one or more Commanders. Section 1 Introduction This unit charges the Commander Touch screen and includes a 9V DC power supply. There is a small blue LED on the front which will illuminate for a period of time when the Commander is docked correctly. This unit is available separately, PAGE

6 2 Wiring the System for the Commander This chapter gives information about preparing and wiring your Systemine S6 or Modular Advance Multi-room system for use with the Wireless Commander. Section 2 Wiring the System 2.1 Introduction The Commander is only compatible with Systemline S6 or Systemline Modular Advanced Multi-room systems (with a 6 port SystemNet Hub). Each zone must have a Wireless Junction Box for it to connect to the wireless system and allow Commander Control. SystemNet supports up to eight Junction Boxes and up to eight Wireless Commanders. This does not affect the number of wired touch screens, which remains up to one per zone with a maximum of eight in total. You can also mix KMP7 or LKPM7 keypads with the Wireless Commander in any zone. It is possible to use a Wireless junction box with no keypad connected, operation by Commander only. The following wiring schematics below only show the SystemNet part of wiring, and not the audio or video wiring which remains unchanged. We have shown an example of the Commander used in each possible Systemline scenario. 2.2 Wiring up a Modular zone using SLM3 speakers the junction box via a single Cat5e cable in the normal way. SLM3 Active Speaker Wireless Junction Box SystemNet Hub CAT5E Cable Wired Touchscreen Keypad (TSK) or KPM7/LKPM7 Keypad Modules The Cat5 wiring requirement for wireless control is the same as a normal wired touch screen zone, so you will just need to replace the current M-SNB with the Wireless junction box behind the active speaker in the ceiling. NOTE: Please beware of metal foil lined ceiling plaster as this could seriously degrade the wireless signal. You will use the following RJ45 sockets on the junction box: Speaker Keypad Wired Keypad (optional) SystemNet Hub The wireless junction box can be used in any zone where control from a Wireless Commander is required. All zones with a wireless junction box can be controlled from one Wireless Commander. A wired touch screen, LKPM7 or KMP7 is optional and not necessary for wireless commander control, but simply wires into PAGE

Any wired touch screen or keypad needs a single Cat5 cable to the junction box and not the speaker. The SystemNet Hub Cat5 cable must wire to the junction box and not the speaker. The junction box has a single Cat5 cable to the active on-wall speaker. If a local input is also needed, then this must share the single RJ45 connector on the back of the speaker. The junction box speaker keypad cable requires only the brown and blue pairs, and the local input SIM/WE module requires only the green and orange pairs. You will use the following RJ45 sockets on the junction box: Speaker Keypad Wired Keypad (optional) SystemNet Hub ZAM Zone Amp Module SystemNet Hub CAT5E Cable Wired Touchscreen Keypad (TSK) or KPM7/LKPM7 Keypad Modules The wireless junction box can be placed next to the ZAM unit, as long as the position of the ZAM is central or near by the desired operation of the wireless commander. You will use the following RJ45 sockets on the junction box: Speaker Keypad Wired Keypad (optional) SystemNet Hub 2.5 Wiring up an S6 zone Wired Touchscreen Keypad (TSK) or KPM7/LKPM7 Keypad Modules Wireless Junction Box S6 Controller Section 2 Wiring the System CAT5E Cable The wireless junction box must be placed between the wired touchscreen or keypad and the S6 Controller as shown. Ideally the junction box is still in close proximity PAGE

9 3 Products in Detail A starter pack will contain all you need to make one zone work with the Wireless Commander. Additional Junction Boxes, Charging Base Stations and Commander Units can be purchased separately to expand the system. 3.1 Wireless Commander The Commander has the same 3.5 VGA colour touch screen as the wired touch screen. It has six hard buttons, three on each side with the following functions. Power: Turns the currently selected zone on or off. Room: Will display all available zones in the system for Commander Control, and allow a new selection. Home: Displays all available sources, and also acts as a menu back function Volume Up: Adjusts the volume up Mute:Mutes the audio Volume Down:Adjusts the volume down There is no IR receiver or room brightness sensor, unlike the wired touch screen. IR signals are sent from the Commander to the Junction Box which then transmits IR back to the Hub or Local input plate. The Commander will switch its backlight off after a set time, and the brightness is adjustable so no room brightness adjustment is needed. The Commander is supplied with a rechargeable NiMH battery pack which is disconnected at the factory. You must unscrew the battery cover and connect the battery before proceeding with the configuration. 1. Unscrew the battery cover 2. Plug in the battery 3. Screw the battery cover back on You should then place the Commander onto the Charging Base Station. The Commander has a USB port behind a rubber flap which is used for configuration uploads from the SystemNet Application software. See section 4.0 for configuration details. In order to conserve battery life, the Commander will firstly switch the backlight off after a set (adjustable) period of time, and then close down the main operation after five minutes. Section 3 Products in Detail The Commander has a built in mercury balance switch which is used to activate the screen quickly when it is picked up. Alternatively, pressing the screen or any hard buttons will also reactivate the screen within 2 seconds. Once active again, you can use it normally. PAGE

10 The brightness and active time can be adjusted by pressing and holding down the volume up, volume down and mute buttons together. The radio antenna is located on the opposite face to the RJ45 connections, so the unit is best positioned with the radio face pointing towards the zone. The system uses 8 different frequencies to communicate with the Commander and will monitor background noise automatically and switch frequency if needed. This is an automatic process and does not need any adjustment or configuration by the installer or end user. Section 3 Products in Detail The brightness active adjustment is a value from 0 to 99 and will adjust in real time so the desired setting can be made easily. This screen brightness will be applied for a set period of time adjustable from 0 to 60 seconds. Once you have made the adjustment, press Apply to make the settings permanent. The touch screen s accuracy can also be adjusted by pressing the Calibrate Touch screen button. You should use this if the screen is not responsive in the correct area. 3.2 Wireless Junction Box The Wireless Junction Box is used for each zone where Wireless Commander control is required. It is contained within a plastic enclosure which can be DIN rail mounted, fixed to a wall, or left freestanding. The four RJ45 connections should be used with RJ45 plugs wired to TIA-568B standard network wiring. PIN Colour 1 White/Orange 2 Orange/White 3 White/Green 4 Blue/White 5 White/Blue 6 Green/White 7 White/Brown 8 Brown/White A Commander can operate any activated zone in the system through the currently connected Junction Box. This allows the user to switch zones, operate lights, volume etc. without having to move from their current position. The Wireless Junction Box has two status LED s showing wireless and wired (hub) data activity. Normally the hub light will flash every second or so, the wireless light should only flash when using a Commander connected to box. If they are not flashing at all or on continuously then you may have a bad connection or severe background RF noise. The wireless junction box will store all IR data for the zone when controlled by a Wireless Commander. IR is then transmitted to the S6 unit or AM8 hub via the speaker or ZAM unit. This makes it possible for the Wireless Commander to operate IR devices, even local devices without directly transmitting IR from the front. Please ensure you upload the.qrc file to each junction box as covered in section Charging Station The charging station is supplied with each Wireless Commander unit and comes with a 9V 2A DC power supply which should be connected to the rear socket. The station contains a moulded recess which matches the outline of the Commander, making it easy to locate the Commander to charge the battery. There are four steel contacts on the charger which connect to the four copper strips on the underside of the Commander. PAGE 10

11 When correctly docked the blue LED on the front of the charging station will illuminate for approximately 15 seconds. The Commander can still be used when docked in the charging station, and does not use any power from the battery in this case. You should find that the Commander docked in the charging station is angled towards the user if mounted on a table or desk. Take care to avoid damaging the charging pins on the Charging Bass Station as this may cause intermittent charging operation. Section 3 Products in Detail PAGE 11

12 4 Software Configuration The Commander system comes with a CD containing the SystemNet Configuration software. You should install this software on your machine before proceeding any further. This step by step instruction should be used in addition to the SystemNet S6 or 6 port Hub instructions and refers to the addition of Wireless Commanders only. Section 4 Software Configuring 4.1 Update Hub Firmware You should update the hub firmware to 12.0 (or higher) before proceeding any further, otherwise the hub or S6 will not recognise Wireless junction boxes. 1. Plug in the USB cable 2. Plug in one wired touch screen 3. Press Query All Keypads 4. The software will return with the keypad address and suggest that firmware is updated. 5. Press Yes and the system will continue updating hub and keypad firmware to version 12.0 or later. 4.2 Address All Touch Screens and Wireless Boxes It is possible to use 8 wired touch screens and 8 Wireless junction boxes in one system, so there are now 16 possible addresses to use and allocate. The Wireless Commander handsets themselves do not have an address, but rather the wireless junction boxes, which are wired into the S6 or 6 port hub unit. The process of allocating addresses is very similar to previous versions but we recommend that you address wireless boxes and wired touch screens on a zone by zone basis. 1. Plug only one zone in to be addressed (this may contain a wired keypad and wireless box). 2. Choose an address for the wired keypad and press Add/Address Keypad. 3. Add a profile if you wish. 4. Choose an address for the wireless box and press Add/Address Wireless. 5. Add a profile if you wish. 6. Disconnect this zone, and then connect the next zone to be addressed and repeat the steps above. 7. Plug in all zones once addressing is complete and press Query All Keypads. You should get a response from all devices with their address and firmware and a prompt to update all firmware versions to the one you are running, proceed with the update. 8. Once the addressing and firmware update is complete, pressing Query All Keypads should give a complete response as shown above. PAGE 12

13 4.3 Update Wireless Commander Firmware You should make sure all Commander Units have your version of firmware, by plugging in one at a time using a USB cable. To PC Time button is pressed. Once the unit has been allocated a code it retains it and will be displayed if any of the above communications occur at the bottom right corner of the Local Hub Network tab page as shown. 1. Unplug from the Hub or S6 (Important as the next step will not work). 2. Select Wireless from the drop down menu in Firmware, Selected keypad. 3. Press Get Firmware Versions 4. Follow the prompt to upgrade firmware if required. 5. Unplug Commander, and repeat the process for all in the project. 4.4 Unique System Identification Code Version 12.0 or above with wireless touch screens use a unique code for each system. This is to prevent cross talk between two systems in close proximity, for example in an apartment above that also has a Systemline wireless zone with the same junction box address. Each communication between a Commnder and a system uses the ID code and must be correct to operate the system. The SystemNet software will allocate an ID code when 1st plugged into an S6 or 6 Port Hub and a Query All Keypads or Set It is vital that the correct system ID is shown when you upload a configuration to a Wireless Commander, otherwise the Commander will not operate your system. Always press Set To PC Time or Query All Keypads to get the ID before you upload to a Wireless Commander, otherwise an error message will be displayed. The system ID is not stored in the.snc file you will save on your PC. This is to prevent the same configuration file being uploaded to multiple systems with the same System ID. It is only stored in the S6 or 6 Port Hub. 4.5 Configuration Tab Add configurable Sources and inputs in the normal way 4.6 Profile Each address can be named in the Description box, and the device type can be selected or changed from Colour, Black & White or Wireless. Please make sure that the profile is correct for each of the addresses that you have in your project. The description given for each wireless Section 4 Software Configuring PAGE 13

14 box will be displayed on the Commander when the room buttons is pressed. connecting the USB cable to a charged Commander. You can then select Upload wireless keypad, and the software will then upload. Section 4 Software Configuring Lighting and heating control can be added in the normal way to any selected wired or wireless keypad. IR data must be loaded into wireless profiles; this is then loaded into the junction box which then transmits the correct IR signal for any IR devices you wish to control. A local input source can be added to each profile in the normal way. 4.7 Upload Zone Configuration You must upload a configuration to each wired touch screen and wireless junction box when connected to an S6 or six port hub unit via the supplied USB cable. You may choose a single address upload or multiple upload. It is possible to configure Wireless Commander Touch screens to operate any number of zones from one to eight. You can select the zones that a wireless screen operates by firstly selecting a wireless zone in the Selected Configuration Profile, then selecting Wireless Zone Control. This will bring up a window with all available wireless zones; you can select any number you wish before proceeding with the Commander upload. PLEASE NOTE: If you make a change to the configuration profile of a wireless zone such as adding a lighting scene button, you must upload the zone configuration to the wireless junction box as well as the wireless Commander; otherwise this new button will not work. To do this quickly, select the wireless junction box profile and select Upload Without IR. This will upload all the required data to the hub for the additional buttons or changes you have made. In this example, the Commander generally used for the garden will also be able to operate all other wireless zones in the system. Once you have selected the zones, make sure you have disconnected the USB cable to the S6 unit or SystemNet Hub before PAGE 14
