ZONE OPTIONS CONFIGURATION
In BASIC mode, the system is configured as a whole and most features are fixed to the default settings. The
only feature that is configurable in the Keypad screen is the RC68 Group Code. Within the ADVANCED
MRC88m System, each zone can be customized for a number of performance options. For most installations,
the factory default settings will be used and will require no additional configuration.
Default settings set in BASIC Mode are as follows:
Mode of Operation = Whole House Mode
Monitor Lockout = Disabled
IR Routing = Enabled
Dynamic Monitor Lockout = Disabled
Zone Audio Input = Disabled
Dynamic/Static Zone Linking = Disabled
Backlight Timeout Control = 6 Seconds
Expanded = Not Expanded

NAME OF ZONE
(ADVANCED/EXPANDED)
Each zone can be given a name (i.e. Living Room, Bedroom etc.) to more easily plan and program the keypads
and zones in a MRC88m system.
1. To change the name of a zone, click the ‘OPTIONS” button on the bottom of the Virtual Keypad window
2. In the SELECT ZONE box, click on the zone to be named
3. Select the text in the “NAME OF ZONE” box and type in the new name (i.e. Master Bedroom)
4. Repeat for all zones
RC68 CODE GROUP
The RC68+ Code Group refers to the group of IR codes that will be used to control the MRC88m System. The
number
associated with this Code Group refers to the
dial setting
on the rear of the RC68+ handheld
programmer. The RC68+ hand held programmer is the preferred device to be used when teaching MRC88m
System IR commands to a non-Xantech universal remote if used in conjunction with the System.
NOTE:
The factory default RC68+ Code Group for the MRC88m System is
A8
.
NOTE:
Changing the default Code Group of the MRC88m System or individual zones should only be done in
the event of an IR conflict with other IR components that cannot be changed elsewhere.
