MET-6N Metreau™ 6-Button Keypad with Navigation

The MET-6N Metreau 6-Button Keypad with Navigation (FG5794-01) features source

control, a navigation wheel that adjusts levels and provides up, down, left, right and

select button options, as well as an LED bar for visual level feedback. The MET-6N

can be used as in individual keypad or in conjunction with the MET-7 and MET-13

keypads (FIG. 1).

The MET-6N is an AxLink keypad, suitable for use in NetLinx Control Systems.

Note: Keypad wallplates not included. See Recommended Accessories below.

Specifications

Navigation Wheel - Pushbuttons

The top, bottom, left, right and center points on the Navigation Wheel are pushbuttons

that provide events on Channels #7, #8, #9, #10 and #11, and can be programmed like

any other AxLink button. FIG. 2 shows the button layout of the Navigation Wheel:

Navigation Wheel

The Navigation Wheel itself can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, and is

intended to provide level control (for example volume or lighting levels).

• The light on the Navigation Wheel can be illuminated by activating channel #11.

• When rotated clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides a channel event on

button #12.

• When rotated counter-clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides a channel

event on button #13.

• When rotated (clockwise/counter-clockwise), the Navigation wheel provides

level events on Level #2. Refer to the Metreau™ Keypads Operation/Reference

Guide for details on using Level control with the Navigation Wheel.

AxLink Device Addressing

Metreau Keypads used in NetLinx applications require a unique numeric AxLink

device address of 1-255. Consider specifying the device address for each keypad

before final installation.

• The MET-6N uses two AxLink devices addresses - one for the Keypad itself, and

a second one for the IR Receiver.

• The device address of the IR Receiver is auto-assigned to be one number higher

than the device address of the Keypad itself (to which the firmware is uploaded).

• The MET-6N will appear as two devices in the Devices frame, because it’s built-

in IR Receiver is recognized as a separate online device.

• Firmware is uploaded to the device address of the Keypad (not the IR Receiver).

For example, if the MET-6N is set to device address 127, then the IR Receiver

on that MET-6N will appear as device number 128. Firmware must be sent to the

keypad, not the IR Receiver (in this example, device 127).

Setting the Primary Device Address

1. If connected, disconnect the power supply.

2. Locate the 8-position mini-DIP switch on the rear panel (see FIG. 4).

3. Set the DIP switch according to the values shown in FIG. 3.

The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are in the ON

position. Note that the ON position is indicated on the DIP Switch. As an example, the

DIP switch in FIG. 3 defines AxLink device number 129 (1+128=129).

If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the power connector to

enter the new device number into memory.

Installation

Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by

touching a grounded metal object.
