The dipswitch 1 is set to ON (dipswitch 2 and 3 
are set to OFF) if this keypad is to control amp 

A1 or B1 and the speakers in this room are 
connected to A1 or B1.  

 
If this keypad is to control amplifier B1 then the 

cat 5 wire from this keypad can be connected 
to slot B1, B2 or B3. 

 
Similarly if the next keypad is to control amp 
A2 or B2 the dipswitch 2 is set to ON (dipswitch 

1 and 3 are set to OFF) and the speakers in this 
room are connected to A2 or B2. If this keypad 

is to control amplifier A2 then the cat 5 wire 
from this keypad can be connected to slot A1, 

A2 or A3 
 

If two or three keypads are connected to the 
controller by one cat 5 wire the two or three 
keypads need to have dipswitches set to 

different settings and the two or three zones 
have to be in the same controller bank of A or 

B. The single wire can then be plugged into one 
of the three slots on that bank (example for 

bank B, slot B1, B2 or B3).  
 

Please note the MVP44a does not have slot or 
output for A1 or A2. 
 

Keypad Wiring 
The MR64 requires a single cat 5 wire. Up to 

three rooms each with a single MR64 or MR60 
keypad can be run on a single cat 5 wire. Two 

to three rooms of keypads are normally run on 
a single cat 5 wire if installing in existing 

construction or if one cat 5 wire has been 
damaged after installation. In new construction 
it is best to run a single home run wire from the 

MR64 or MR60 keypad location back to the 
controller or controller amplifier.  

 
Cat 5 wires for this system need to be 

terminated with the correct RJ45 connector. 
RJ45 connectors are designed specifically for 

solid, stranded or special wires, so be sure to 
obtain the correct type. Please use a good 
quality crimper for this purpose. Use the 

standard cat 5 wire practices including the 
correct wire order (see the controller manual 

for the diagram).  
 

Note: If after installation the keypads are not 
working properly, or controlling another zone or 

not working at all, carefully check the MR64  
dipswitch settings, wiring order on the RJ45 

connections, wiring layout and even try 
recrimping the connectors or replacing the RJ45 

connectors with new ones. Verify that the wires 
are connected to the correct bank on the rear 

of the controller (A or B). 
 

 

.  

   

 
Note: In addition to the cat 5 wires to the 

keypads, two pairs of speaker wire need to be 
run from the amplifier to the speakers (one pair 
to each speaker). These wires do not have to 

run to the keypad location but can be run 
directly to the speakers. We suggest a 

minimum 16-gauge wire and 12-14 gauge if the 
runs are longer than 33 feet (10 meters). 

After the dipswitch is set and the MR64 is 
installed in the wall the four source 
identification labels have to be programmed 

individually into each MR64. There are over 25 
labels available and custom labels are available 

for a nominal charge (maximum 8 characters).  
 

Labels can be programmed from the MR64 
keypad only when it is powered up and not 

from the remote control. 
 
Each MR64 keypad must be programmed 

individually and it will save the label names 
even if the keypad is disconnected from the 

systems. MR64 keypad labels can be 
programmed offsite if desired.  

 
 Note: All of the MR64 keypads in this system  

 have to be programmed with the same labels 
 in the same source order. 
 

First make sure all of the wires from the 
MR64(s) to the controller are installed and 

tested (if possible) properly with crimped RJ45 
connectors. The wires from the amp to the 

speaker do not have to be installed at this time 
but it is preferred if they are. The sources 

should be connected, but again, it is not
