SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS Keypads and IR Sensors Keypads and IR sensors enable the user to control the Niles ZR-4630 MultiZone Receiver and its connected source components. Source component IR commands are programmed into the Niles ZR-4630 MultiZone Receiver. These commands are then triggered when the user presses a keypad button or issues a Niles IR command to an IR sensor. Each zone on the ZR-4630 has a corresponding RJ-45 keypad connector that is used to connect one Solo™ Master Keypad Module.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 2 – ADDING ZONES USING MULTIPLE ZR-4630’S More than one ZR-4630 can be used if the system requires more than six zones. A maximum of three ZR-4630’s, providing up to 18 zones, can be combined to create a larger multi-zone/multi-source system. One ZR-4630 is designated as the Master and the others as Slaves (see Installation Settings on page 58 for more details).
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 3 – DISTRIBUTING SOURCE-COMPONENT AUDIO SIGNALS When sharing source components with three ZR-4630’s (see Figure 6) or two ZR-4630’s and a Home Theater system (see Figure 7), a Niles AVDA-3 Audio/Video Distribution Amplifier is required for each source.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 6 – MULTIPLE SOLO™ MASTER KEYPAD MODULES IN A ZONE The single zone of a Niles ZR-4630 MultiZone Receiver can be expanded to contain multiple Solo™ Master Keypad Modules providing control from many locations within the zone. A Niles IntelliPad® Ci Expander™ is required to connect multiple keypads in a single zone. A maximum of five Solo™ Master Keypad Modules can be included in a single zone using two Expanders.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 7 – MULTIPLE LISTENING AREAS IN A ZONE A single zone of the ZR-4630 can be set up to contain more than one listening area (i.e., an adjacent living room and dining room). This configuration is chosen when the speakers in the zone are not required to be played at separate volume levels or to be on/off separately.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 8 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MORE POWER Each zone of the ZR-4630 provides RCA preamplifier output connections for the connection of external amplifiers. External amplifiers can be used to provide more power in a zone.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 9 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MULTIPLE LISTENING AREAS A zone of the ZR-4630 can be set-up to contain more than one listening area by adding an external amplifier (i.e., an adjacent living room and dining room area). This configuration is chosen when the speakers included in the zone are not required to be played at separate volume levels or to be ON/OFF separately.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 10 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MULTIPLE ROOMS The preamplifier output connectors on the ZR-4630 for zones 4, 5 and 6 have a fixed/variable setting. Using the fixed setting with an external amplifier enables a zone to be divided up into individual rooms using conventional Niles Impedance Matching Volume Controls.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 11 – SYSTEM PAGING AND EXTERNAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM A Paging Input connection on the rear panel of the ZR-4630 provides a connection for the paging output signal of popular telephone systems for voice paging through the speakers in the listening zones (see Figure 15). Paging volume level can be adjusted by the ZR-4630 (see Installation Settings on page 59 for more information).
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS CONFIGURATION 12 – IR REPEATING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL COMPONENTS An IR Repeating System can be integrated into a room connected to the Niles ZR-4630 (see Figure 17). This enables a single IR Sensor (installed in that room) to control local components with a hand-held IR remote control. In Figure 17, a Niles IR Sensor is connected to a Niles IRP-6+ for control of local components and to a Niles ZR4630 for control of distributed components.
COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY Infrared Command Compatibility IR control testing was conducted on many equipment brands to determine their compatibility with the ZR4630. Typical A/V source components (i.e., CD, DVD, DSS, Cable Boxes, etc.) from each brand were chosen for the test. All brands listed below passed the test.
SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION WHAT IS SOURCE-POWER SYNCHRONIZATION? The ZR-4630 has been designed to keep track of the ON/OFF condition of the three source components connected to the system. This enables source components that utilize the same IR command for ON and OFF to be automated. For this feature to function as designed, you need “synchronization (sync)” between the ZR-4630 and source components that utilize the same IR command for ON and OFF.
SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION CHOOSING A SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD Once you establish that all source components in the system have compatible IR commands, the next step is to choose the appropriate Sync Method for each component. There are two ways to detect when a component is ON or OFF: Video or Voltage Sync. TV DSS DIGITAL AUDIO VIDEO L R PHONE Video Input RCA Y-Adapter Splitting Video Output Figure 18 Video Sync Video Sync is the easiest and most reliable method of synchronization.
SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION Voltage Sync Voltage Sync is also a reliable method of synchronization if chosen and implemented correctly. The Sync Inputs can detect the control out voltage from a Niles Signal Sensing product interfaced to the source component. Obtaining Voltage Sync Current Sensing Current Sensing synchronizes a component by detecting the changes in the AC power draw that occurs with a component when it turns ON and OFF.
SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION Light Sensing Using a light sensor (LS-1) to synchronize your components is usually your last choice, simply because the other choices are more reliable. The Niles LS-1 Light Sensor can synchronize a component by sensing changes in light. The 12V output of the LS-1 is then connected to the ZR-4630’s Sync Input dedicated for that component, a miniplug to RCA adapter is required for this connection (see Connections for more information).
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW MASTER KEYS/SOURCE BUTTONS The Master Keys available on the Solo™ Master Keypad Module and the Source Buttons on the hand-held R-4 Remote (Figure 21) provide “one-touch activation” of the ZR-4630 and source components. The Master Keys on the Solo™ Master Keypad Module are equipped with back lighting LEDs for indicating Zone ON/OFF, Zone Mute, and Zone Input Selection status.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Master Key/Source Button Events When you press a Master Key on a Solo™ Master Keypad Module or a Source Button on the hand held R-4 Remote, as many as four events occur. The first event is factory programmed and activates the zone which you are located. The second event is factory programmed and selects the proper source input corresponding to the Master Key or Source Button pressed (1 = Tuner, 2 = Input 2, 3 = Input 3, 4 = Input 4).
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW MASTER KEY/SOURCE BUTTON OPERATION The Master Key/Source Buttons have two methods for operating the system. Single-Zone Operation The first method, a quick tap of a Master Key/Source Button in a zone (holding the Key/Button for less than three seconds), causes only that zone to turn ON. The Master Key quickly tapped illuminates GREEN after the zone turns ON. A zone turns ON to its last volume setting.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW OFF Key Events When you press the OFF Key/Button, as many as two events occur. The first event is factory programmed and is responsible for turning the zone or all zones OFF every time the OFF Key/Button is pressed. The second event is responsible for turning OFF the source components and only occurs if the zone turning OFF was the last zone ON in the system (including the Home Theater Zone sharing source components). There is no programming required for this event.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW VOLUME KEYS/VOLUME BUTTONS The Volume Keys on the Solo™ Master Keypad Module and the Volume Buttons on the hand-held R-4 Remote provide control of volume for individual zones. Volume Buttons on the hand-held R-4 Remote Volume Keys on the Solo™ Master Keypad Module Figure 23 Volume Keys/Volume Buttons Operation Pressing the Volume + or the Volume - Keys/Buttons raises and lowers the speaker output and the preamplifier output for the zone in which you are located.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW MUTE KEY/MUTE BUTTON The Mute Key/Button provides a method of turning the sound ON/OFF for a brief moment in an individual zone without turning the zone OFF (this also prevents the source component from being turned OFF).
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW FUNCTION KEYS/BUTTONS The Solo™ Master Keypad Module, the Numeric™ Accessory Keypad Module, and the hand-held R-4 Remote include various function keys for control of the built-in tuner and the connected source components. Figure 26 illustrates the available function keys for all of the control devices.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Function Key/Button Operation for the Built-in Tuner The commands for operation of the built-in tuner from the function keys/Buttons are pre-programmed. Figure 27 depicts the available commands for the tuner, their function key/button location, and a description of their action on the tuner.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW FRONT PANEL TUNER OPERATION Preset Buttons Station Scan Buttons Band Shift Button Frequency Indicator Band Indicator Stereo Indicator Figure 27 Band-Shift Button The Band Shift Button toggles the selected tuning band between AM and FM. Station Scan Buttons A quick tap of the Station Scan Buttons increments the tuner one frequency step.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW IDENTICAL SOURCE COMPONENTS The ZR-4630 routes the individual source component IR commands with which it has been programmed to specific Flasher Outputs. This provides individual control of identical source components (i.e., two DSS receivers of the same brand and model). These programmed IR commands are routed to the individual Flasher Outputs based on the source components for which they were programmed.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW OPERATING A SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH A HOME THEATER Operation from the Stereo Zones Provided by the ZR-4630 User operation from the zones provided by ZR-4630’s, are not affected when integrating a Home Theater to share source components (see System Configurations 4 & 5). Solo™ Master Keypad Modules in each zone independently operate the zone to which they are dedicated (i.e., Zone ON/OFF, Volume Up/Down, Mute).
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW When the Home Theater turns ON, it provides a 12V Status signal that is connected to the Home Theater Sync Input on the rear panel of the ZR-4630. This 12V Status signal provides the ON/OFF status of the Home Theater to the ZR-4630. The moment a valid Home Theater Sync signal is present at the ZR-4630, the ZR-4630’s 12V Control Output sends a turn-on trigger for a Voltage-Triggered AC Power Strip (i.e., Niles AC-3), activating latching source components.
INSTALLATION PLACEMENT Place the ZR-4630 on a flat, level surface such as a table or shelf, with its weight equally distributed on each of its four feet. Placing the weight of the amplifier on the rear or front panel for even an instant will result in damage to the amplifier's connectors and controls. Like any high-fidelity component, the ZR-4630 will last much longer if it is given adequate ventilation for proper cooling.
CONNECTIONS TERMINATING FOUR-PAIR TWISTED CABLE The Solo™ Master Keypad Modules, the Expander, and the ZR-4630’s System Expansion connections require a four-pair twisted cable with a one-to-one wiring configuration. To maintain consistency throughout all Intellipad Ci installations, we recommend the color-coding pattern described in Figure 31. However, you may follow the color-coding pattern of your choice, as long as it is used consistently throughout the system.
CONNECTIONS CONNECTING IR SENSORS An IR sensor can be connected to a Solo™ Master Keypad Module in one of two ways, directly with a four-pair twisted cable (see Figures 34 and 35), or with a three-wire to RJ45 adapter available from Niles for IR Sensors installed with two-conductor shielded cable (see Figure 36 and the Accessories Section of this manual). Connecting a Sensor using Four-Pair Twisted Cable As shown in Figure 34, one end of the fourpair twisted cable connects with bare wire to the IR Sensor.

CONNECTIONS SYSTEM EXPANSION 11 1. 5 System Expansion Input to System Expansion Output 5. Four-pair twisted cable, terminated with male RJ-45 plugs, connects multiple ZR-4630's using the System Expansion Input and Output terminals. Connections are made from the Input of one of the ZR-4630's to the Output of another, and so on (for more information on Terminating Four-Pair Twisted Cable, refer to page 44). SOURCE-COMPONENT AUDIO SIGNALS 12 1. IR FLASHERS 6 Low-Output Flasher to the Flasher Outputs 6.
CONNECTIONS CONNECTING AN IR SENSOR FOR LOCAL SYSTEM CONTROL IR Sensors installed in zones for hand-held IR remote control of the ZR-4630 and its source components can also be used to control local components (i.e., a TV, DSS, DVD, and a surround-sound system located in the master bedroom zone as shown in figure 38). The IR Sensor connects normally to the Solo™ Master Keypad to control the ZR-4630 and its connected source components.
CONNECTIONS CONNECTING AN A/B AMPLIFIER SWITCH FOR LOCAL SYSTEM SELECTION A Niles SPK-1 Voltage Activated Speaker Level A/B Switcher connects to both the ZR-4630 and a local system to provide sound from each system to the same speakers located in a single zone. The local system only connects to the speakers when the local system is turned on. The Niles ZR-4630 connects to the speakers by default when the local system is off.
PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW INSTALLER PROGRAMMING PANEL IR commands needed for control of connected external source-components are programmed into the ZR-4630’s program memory using the hidden programming controls on the front panel (see figure 42).

PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW Function Keys/Buttons Programming Figure 45 depicts the section of the Programming Worksheet that corresponds to the source-component function key/button programming. Each programmed source component has one worksheet filled out specifying what particular IR commands have been programmed and to which function key/button they have been assigned.
PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW PROGRAMMING A LEARNING REMOTE FOR ZONE OPERATION Learning remote controls can be taught the IR commands of the Niles R-4 Remote to provide individual zone operation. These IR commands operate the ZR-4630 and its associated source components from any zone equipped with an IR Sensor. Important Note: IR Sensors cannot operate a zone when used alone. They must be installed and connected to a Solo™ Master Keypad Module.
PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW teach the Niles R-4 Remote Control IR commands to the Home Theater learning remote, rather than the IR commands from the remote controls included with the shared source components.
PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW Method #3 – Controlling Shared Source Components with Niles R-4 Commands and without 12V Home Theater Status A third method of programming is available in situations where a 12V DC status signal is not available from the Home Theater. With this method, you must teach some of the Niles R-4 Remote Control IR commands to the Home Theater learning remote.
