Page 1MRZ-260 BASE STATIONIntroductionThe MRZ-260 base station has incorporated a new wireless technolo-gy referred to as Zigbee. This technology improves the range and reli-ability throughout a house and gives you the ability to control asmany identical components as needed. In order to control a Zigbeebase station an Zigbee remote is needed such as the MX-880Z.3. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix tothe Infrared sensors on the front pan-els of your components. TheFlashers relay commands to compo-nents out of sight of the MRZ-260Front Blaster. The flashers plug in tothe MRZ-260 rear flasher line out-puts via their 10 foot cables.Uniquely, the MRZ-260 can alsoconnect to components with rearpanel IR Inputs via its adjustable IRLine Outputs.2. The MRZ-260 built-in Front Blaster sends commands to com-ponents in the same cabinet space or you can use flashers.1. The MX-880Z sends radiowaves in every direction, so youdon’t have to point the remoteanymore!
Page 2MRZ-260 BASE STATIONFeatures and BenefitsInterference Rejection and Extended Range via ZigbeeThe MRZ-260 receives Zigbee signals via its integrated receiver and anten-na and is the only wireless standards-based technology:* allows omni-directional control* enables broad-based deployment of wireless networks with low cost,low power solutions.* provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive primary batteries fora typical home theatre application.Two Fixed IR Outputs with RFTX URC Lighting ControlThe MRZ-260 is equipped with two fixed IR line outputs with standard 3.5mm jacks for standard and sleeved IR emitter/flashers. One Fixed IR Outputhas a dual role for URC Ligting Control via the RFTX transmitterTwo Variable IR Outputs Match Rear Panel IR InputsThe MRZ-260 is equipped with two adjustable IR line outputs. Each outputcan be individually matched to rear panel IR inputs on any component thatis designed to be operated by a standard IR repeater. The outputs utilize a3.5mm jack and are compatible with standard IR emitter/flashers as well.No Limit Equipment Locations With Identical ComponentsEach MX remote is “addressable.” They can be programmed to specificallycontrol components in a particular room by installing an MRZ-260 base sta-tion at each location. In operation it’s simple: when you select a devicelocated in the Den, the MX remote only sends commands to the Den.When you select a device located in the Family Room, the MX remote onlysends commands to it.A Single MRZ-260 Can Control an Array of Identical Components orIdentical Zones of a Multi Zone Preamp/Matrix SwitcherEach MRZ-260 has four “addressable” IR Line Outputs. For example, youcan control up to four identical TV’s with one MRZ-260 or route volumecommands for a specific zone to a particular zone IR input on a multi-zonepreamp. If you have more than four identical components or zones, thereis no limit on how many MRZ-260s can be installed to control them (thusallowing an unlimited amount of identical components or zones in onehouse). Parts GuideThe MRZ-260 RF Base Station includes:1 - MRZ-260 Base Station1 - Mounting Plate for wall mountingthe MRZ-2604 - Screws for wall mounting 1 - 9V-300mA Power Supply12 - Labels for IR Line Outputs4 - Visible Flashers with 10 foot plug incables including 1 pink sleevedemitter for the RFTX-1 port4 - Extra self adhesive pads for Emitters1 - Screwdriver for Variable Outputs
Page 3Installation and MAC Address Discovery 1. Unplug the MRZ-260. Test all IR commands and macros line of sight. 2. Power on all AV components including the TV. Turn on all of thelights and lower all dimmers to 50%. Power on anything that may cre-ate Interference (particularly devices with high speed microprocessorsor hard drives).3. Once all commands and macros work in direct line of sight, connect the MRZ-260 to its DC wall adapter and plug the walladapter into a live AC outlet.4. The next steps are necessary to “Discover the MRZ-260 base”. OpenCCP editor.5. Select Program then Configure Home.6. Add a MRZ-260 base station and theproperties window opens. 7. Plug in a Zigbee remote control such asthe MX-880Z remote via USB to the PC.8. Click on the Browse button to automati-cally discover the MAC address of theMRZ-260 base or type in the 8 characters found on the MAC ID stickerlocated in the rear of the base. Note: If you receive a Not Connected messagesimply unplug then replug the USB cable and tryagain. 9. Once the MRZ-260 is found, highlight the match-ing MAC address and select Apply.10. Now the MAC address will populate theMAC field.11. Press OK to close the window and nowthe MRZ-260 has been discovered. 12. Place the MRZ-260 in a location at least3 feet away from satellite receivers,cable boxes, HDTV tuners, DVRs, PCs or any other device with ahigh speed microprocessor (these generate broad band RadioMRZ-260 BASE STATION
Page 4Frequency Interference -RFI). Of course, you should keep in mindthat the emitter cables are 10’ long.13. Observe the Status LED of the MRZ-260. 14. Once you have found a location, test to see if the range is adequateand that macro reliability is perfect. Start with the antenna angle set to45 degrees and positioned so that the long side ofthe antenna is facing the customer’s favorite seatingposition.15. Now that the location is fixed, connect each of theemitters to the appropriate IR output and run the cable to the appro-priate component. Do not attach the emitters to the front panel yet!Utilize the included preprinted labels to identify which emitter goesto which component. If you’d like to make your own, the slots for thelabels have been sized at 12mm to enable a Brother P-Touch 12mmlabel to fit perfectly. NOTE: TiVo, Replay TV, other DVRs, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxesare all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation. For this reason, itis recommended that you always connect the IR flashers for these types ofcomponent to the Variable IR Outputs of the MRZ-260.MRZ-260 BASE STATIONThe red POWER LED indi-cates that the MRZ-260 ispowered on.The red STATUS LED flash-es when a command ispressed from the remote.45°
MRZ-260 BASE STATIONPage 5TestingTest a few commands for each device before fixing the flasher in place onthe front panel of a device.Since TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremelysensitive to IR overload or saturation, you should test them thoroughly. Putup the on screen guide and test the navigation arrows. Compare operationvia RF to the original remote control. Operation should be identical. Zigbeeis not slower.If operation is inconsistent or sluggish, lower the IR line outputand/or reposition the flasher. If you still have sluggish operation, check that the remote control is set to aparticular LINE OUT, rather than ALL. When IR commands are sent to allthe flashers in a cabinet, you can have difficulty adjusting the IR Output.Reprogram the remote control to send IR commands only via a specific (1-4) Line Output, then readjust the IR Line Output level.Note: Remember, the MRZ-260 will NOT respond if you select IR line out-puts 5 or 6. The MRZ-260 has only four IR Line Outputs.1. Connect an IR emitter to each IR output and run the emitter wire to thefront panel of each component. DO NOT STICK the emitter in place.ADJUST the level first.2. Adjust each of the IR Output levels for best operation. If the componentoperates best at minimum level, but is still operating sluggishly or inter-mittently, move the emitter farther away from the components IR sensor.
MRZ-260 BASE STATIONPage 6Integrating RFTX-1 to control URC LightingNot only will you have greater control of your home theatre equipment withZigbee, now you also have control of your URC Lighting. What better wayto watch a movie and control your universe! Step 1: Simply use a sleeved emitter and plug into the rear of the RFTX-1pink fixed port.Step 2: Then choose the frequency of the URC lighting.
MRZ-260 BASE STATIONPage 7Front Blaster OverloadA few models of audio/video components can be overloaded by theFront Blaster. If you are having intermittent or inconsistent results with aparticular component, try repositioning the MRZ-260 and facing the FrontBlaster in a different direction. If this improves the situation but is imprac-tical, it may be necessary to utilize the self-adhesive flashers only and fol-low the steps below to Disable the Front Blaster. This will limit the num-ber of components your MRZ-260 can control to four. If you have morethan four components you can purchase an additional MRZ-260 orupgrade to an MRF-350.Enabling/Disabling the Front Blaster - Step by Stepvia PCNote: If you are programming a URC MX “addressable” remote controlthat sets up without a PC, refer to the owners manual to disable the FrontBlaster.Open the PC software, then plug the MX PC programmable remote con-trol into the PC. Open your saved configuration and follow these steps toturn off the front blaster: Step 1 - Open the RF Control WindowThe RF Control window opens after selecting RF Control or Settings fromthe Program Menu of most MX/TX editors or from the Main Menu of theProWizard.Step 2 - Turn on/off the Front BlasterClick on the cell in the IR LED OUTPUT/IR BLASTER column. A list boxwill appear. Select a PORT for your device or chooose Blaster 1 to turn iton. Step 3- Next, click on Save to apply your change.
MRZ-260 BASE STATIONPage 8Controlling Four Identical Components/Zones There are several considerations to take into account when you areinstalling an MRZ-260 to control an array of identical components:1. Each identical component must receive IR commands ONLY from a ded-icated Flasher affixed to its front panel or a rear panel direct IR input.The SIGNAL of the remote should be set to RF ONLY for each identicalcomponent. IR can still be utilized for other devices in your system!2. You must note the NUMBER of the Flasher Output you have utilized forEACH of the identical components.Identical Components/Zones - Step by Step via PC Step 1 - Create and Program a Device for Each Component/Zone Try to name each device with a descriptive title. At a minimum, label themTV1, TV2, TV3 and so on.Step 2 - Open the RF Setup WindowThe RF Setup window opens after selecting RF Control from the ProgramMenu. The RF Setup window is composed of a “spread sheet” of options forEACH of your devices.
MRZ-260 BASE STATIONPage 9By looking at the Signal column, you can see that the factory default pro-gramming sets all of the devices to send both IR and RF commands. If youlook at the column for Flashers, you can see that the default sends IR com-mands for all devices to ALL of the flashers. Both options must be changedfor identical components. Additionally, you must disable the Front Blaster(see page 6 for directions).Step 3 - Adjust the Signal For Each of the Identical DevicesThe RF Setup window enables you to adjust the Signal output for eachdevice individually, by clicking on the intersection of a row and a columnand then selecting RF from the three options shown in the pull down listbox.Select RF from the three options shown for EACH of the identical TVs. Youmay leave the other components of the system set to IR & RF.Step 4 - Adjust the Flashers For Each of the Identical DevicesThe RF Setup window enables you to adjust which Flashers output by theremote control for each device individually, by clicking on the intersectionof a row and a column and then selecting 1-4 from the seven optionsshown in the pull down list box. Select the correct Flasher (refer to your connection notes) for EACH of theidentical TVs. You may leave the other components of the system set toALL.See figure on the next page.
Page 10MRZ-260 BASE STATIONIn the figure below, each device is set to a specific flasher.Note: Remember, the MRZ-260 will only respond to selections 1 through 4. Step 5 - Close the RF window and Download to the Remote.Programming For Multiple Equipment LocationsYou can operate an unlimited amount of different equipment locations, eachwith an MRZ-260 assigned with a unique MAC Address. You program eachof your remotes to talk to the equipment locations you want by assigningeach of your devices to a receiver. First, you must add and name yourreceivers for the locations they are placed in:Step 1 - Open CCP Editor This editor will allow you to program multiple base stations. Step 2 - Click on Program and Configure HomeStep 3 - Add as many MRZ-260 base stations as neededFollow steps 4 - 11 on page 3 ‘Installation and Discovery’ to automaticallydiscovery multiple base stations for an unlimited amount of equipment loca-tions. Step 4 - Save and Download to your remote.
