Using C4630 SE Internal Macros with K1/K2 Programmable Keypads
Unlike the C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypads, the K1 and K2 keypads can store and execute their own macros in
addition to triggering macros stored in the C4630 SE. Since the C4630 SE will only output one set of IR commands at a
time, you must use time delays to ensure that only one set of macro commands executes at a time. For example, if a K2’s
keypad macro includes a command that triggers a C4630 SE internal macro, once the K2 sends the command to execute
the C4630 SE macro, the C4630 SE will issue its own macro from start to finish and will not pass any of the K2’s IR macro
commands until it is finished.
To assure that there is no conflict between keypad and C4630 SE macros Sonance recommends building all macros in the
C4630 SE and using the keypad only as a trigger device. If you must combine C4630 SE macros with K1/K2 keypad
macros, you can minimize the chances of conflicts by:
• Grouping all C4630 SE internal macro commands together and grouping all K1/K2 keypad macro commands together.
• Having the keypad trigger the C4630 SE’s internal macro last.
• Delaying the start of the K1/K2 macro long enough to ensure that the C4630 SE internal macro completes executing
before the keypad macro begins.

Macros
In addition to the macros that can be
triggered by the C4630 SE Main and
Numeric keypad buttons, the C4630 SE can
also execute up to 200 additional macros per
zone. These macros are stored on the E
XTRA
C OMMANDS action layer of each zone’s Zone
Programming Screen (see Figure 69).
The Extra Command macros cannot be triggered
by the C4630 SE Main and Numeric keypads —
they are designed to be triggered by the K1
and K2 programmable keypads, or by a
serial control device connected via RS-232.
When you click on one of the Extra Command
macros, the M
ACRO E DITOR screen will appear
(see Figure 42, on page 33). Programming
these macros is exactly the same as program-
ming C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypad
macros. See
Programming C4630 SE Keypad
Macros, on page 31, for information about
programming macros.
