AMX & Crestron

For AMX or Crestron room controller applications, see

RaneNotes “Using a Control System with an SRM 66” and “Us-

ing SR 1L's with other Rane Products” available from the Rane

website. Two more advanced SRM 66 features are discussed in

“Advanced Applications of the Ingenious SRM 66 and SR 1L.”

Master/Slave functionality is covered, where one SR 1L remote

can control Output Groups across multiple SRM 66s. SR 1L

room controller applications are greatly simplified using Master/

Slave mode; AMX software for this application is also available

from Rane. Edit MRP Configuration can eliminate the costly,

time consuming and labor intensive diode logic that is occasion-

ally required in applications with multiple contact closure sen-

sors. This feature is provided via the completely programmable

SRM 66 Memory Recall Port using SRM Exchange software

(see the DSC 1 Data Sheet).

To externally control an SRM 66 from an AMX or Crestron,

first read “Using a Control System with an SRM 66.” There are

3 modes of operation for the SRM 66 (RIP, DSC, SLAVE).

To externally control the SRM 66 (with AMX or Crestron)

you must use either DSC or SLAVE mode. DSC allows for full

access, while SLAVE only controls SRM 66 Group Levels and

Memories. If all you need is to control output levels and memo-

ries, SLAVE mode is by far the easiest.

AMX demo programs (www.rane.com/srm66.html):

DSC mode SRM_DSC.AXS

SLAVE mode SRMSLAVE.AXS

Note the SR 1Ls do not need to be connected. The programs

scan for the SR 1Ls during power-up, and if they are not found

they are ignored.
