QUICK START GUIDE
MET-13 Metreau®13-Button Keypad
Overview
The MET-13 Metreau 13 Button keypad (FG5794-02) offers 13 buttons (12 single-
width, and 1 double-width) and can be used as in individual keypad or in conjunction
with the MET-6N and MET-7 Metreau keypads (FIG. 1).
The MET-13 is an AxLink keypad, suitable for use in NetLinx Control Systems.
Specifications
Installation
BhnurBefore touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.
FIG. 2 shows the basic rear components of the MET-13 keypads:
AxLink Device Addressing
AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads use an 8-position mini-DIP switch to specify a unique
device address for each keypad in a NetLinx Control System.
Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.
1. If connected, disconnect the power supply.
2. Locate the 8-position mini-DIP switch on the rear panel.
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.
Wiring
Preparing captive wires
Caution: Do not connect power to the Metreau keypad until the wiring is complete.
Caution: If using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the control system
before wiring the Metreau keypads.
You will need a wire stripper, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the
captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the
wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.
3. Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector.
Note: Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the
connector.
Wiring guidelines
Metreau keypads require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is
supplied via the AxLink or SWT cable. The maximum wiring distance is determined by
power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The
following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable based on the
maximum power consumption rating of 170 mA.

The maximum wiring lengths for using AxLink power are based on a minimum of 13.5
volts available. If the distance is greater than what is listed in the table, consult the
Metreau Keypads Operation/Reference Guide for wiring with external power sources.
AxLink Data and Power Connections
Connect the control system's AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the rear
panel of the Metreau Keypad for data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 4.
Using AxLink for Data with an Auxiliary Power Supply
Use an auxiliary 12 VDC power supply when the distance between the controller and
server exceeds the limits described in the Wiring guidelines section. Connect only the
GND (-) wire on the AxLink connector when using an auxiliary 12 VDC power supply.
Connect the NetLinx Controller’s AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the rear
panel of the Metreau keypad, as shown in FIG. 5.
Note: If you are not using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the controller
before wiring the Metreau keypad. Make sure the auxiliary power supply’s PWR (+) is not
connected to the controller’s AxLink connector.
AxLink Status LED
The AxLink Status LED (located next to the AxLink connector), lights to indicate AxLink
power/data status (see Operation / Reference Guide for details).
If the LED is on and not flashing, disconnect the AxLink connector and recheck all
AxLink connections. Then, reconnect the AxLink connector to the panel and verify the
LED is flashing once per second.
Mounting Procedures
AMX recommends mounting Metreau keypads in standard U.S.-style decora wallboxes:
• Conduit box should meet NEC specs (section 370)
• Minimum internal clearance of (HWD) 2-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1-5/8".
Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.
Wallbox Mounting
1. Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the install surface.
2. Connect the AxLink connector (or SWT cable connectors) to the rear of the
keypad.
3. Place the Mounting Plate on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mounting
holes and fasten the Mounting Plate to the wallbox using the screws supplied.
Note: Do not overtighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The device
should be flush with mounting surface.
