After completing the hardware installation and before programming the CAV6.6 controller, please complete the
following system test to ensure all hardware and wiring have been installed correctly.
TEST EACH KEYPAD: Turn on each UNO keypad. Check to see if the following functions work:
1. When turned on, the keypad should display “HELLO” on the LCD screen.
2. Press the “source” button and scroll through all 6 sources.
3. Press the “volume up” and “volume down” – the volume level should display on the LCD screen.
If the keypad displays the “No Controller” message it indicates the keypad is not communicating with the RNET
controller. Check the following if you have a “No Controller” error:
1. The most typical cause is the RJ-45 termination at the RNET controller. Please verify that the RJ-45 is
terminated to the T568A standard.
2. Verify that the punch down on the rear of the keypad is correct.
3. Use a LAN tester to check the CAT-5 cable. A broken strand on the CAT-5 wire between the RNET
controller and the UNO keypad can result in a “No Controller” message.
4. Disconnect all RNET link cables to see if one of the RNET links or one of the RNET sources is causing the
problem.
5. If all else fails, remove all keypad wires from the rear of the RNET controller (mark the wires first) and test
each keypad individually.
SOUND CHECK: Turn on all source equipment and make sure all sources are playing in all zones. Even with no
programming, the RNET controller should provide audio on all connected sources. If you cannot hear one or
more of the source units when selected from a keypad, check the following:
1. Make sure the sources are powered on and playing
2. If using a CD or DVD player, make sure you have a disc in the player.
3. Check all RCA interconnects on the rear of the RNET controller.
4. Make sure speaker wires are properly connected and correspond to the correct zone.
CHECK FOR IR PASS THROUGH: Make sure you can control all non Russound sources via IR remote. Go a
zone away from the equipment rack with all IR remotes for non Russound sources (CD player, Cable/Sat box,
etc…) to complete the following test:
1. Select the applicable source number for each non Russound source.
2. Point the source’s native remote at the keypad and attempt to control the source unit.
If you cannot control some or all of your sources via IR pass through, check the following:
1. Make sure the source number selected on the keypad corresponds with the source number the IR emitter
is connected to on the controller.
2. Check the placement of the IR emitter on the front of the source equipment.
3. Check any RNET link cables – an improperly terminated RNET link can cause disruption of
the IR circuit.
4. Disconnect all keypads (UNO zones and A-BUS® subzones) except for 1 and retest. If IR pass through
works, reconnect one keypad at a time and retest after adding each keypad. This will allow you to
determine if a particular keypad or CAT-5 run is causing interference with the IR circuit.
5. Check for other possible causes of interference, including: Plasma or LCD screens, other IR emitting
devices in a zone or electrical or low voltage devices in close proximity to the keypad.
