HAL SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE l Or create the link by opening the Room Processor for each room and configuring the link between the Level control and the remote device (we'll use a DR1), as shown in the following image: After creating this link, you do the same in the Room B Room Processor. You now have a DR1 in Room A that controls the volume in Room A and a DR1 in Room B that controls the volume in Room B. So what happens when you combine the two rooms? Well, at this point, nothing. We haven't configured the Room Processor for Room A+B. Again, think of Room A+B as just another room-a room that doesn't need to know anything about Room A or Room B. With regard to control linking, we simply need to configure the control links we want for Room A+B. We want the two DR1s to control the volume in the space and to track one another. So we open the Room Processor for Room A+B, open its Level block properties (or link directly to the level control exposed on the room processor), and create a single control link linking the Level control to both DRs, as shown here: It's really as simple as that! Room A+B now has two DR1s that are linked together. When the wall between Rooms A and B is opened (resulting in Room A+B), this control link (along with the other Room Processor configurations for Room A+B) comes off the shelf and is activated. In summary, creating control links in a room combine situation is no different from creating them in other situations. You simply work with each room one at a time, creating the control links you need for that specific space. When that room is in use, its control links are activated. 130

Or create the link by opening the Room Processor for each room and configuring the link

between the Level control and the remote device (we'll use a DR1), as shown in the following

image:

After creating this link, you do the same in the Room B Room Processor. You now have a DR1 in

Room A that controls the volume in Room A and a DR1 in Room B that controls the volume in Room

So what happens when you combine the two rooms? Well, at this point, nothing. We haven't con-

figured the Room Processor for Room A+B. Again, think of Room A+B as just another room—a room

that doesn't need to know anything about Room A or Room B. With regard to control linking, we

simply need to configure the control links we want for Room A+B. We want the two DR1s to control

the volume in the space and to track one another. So we open the Room Processor for Room A+B, open

its Level block properties (or link directly to the level control exposed on the room processor), and

create a single control link linking the Level control to both DRs, as shown here:

It's really as simple as that! Room A+B now has two DR1s that are linked together. When the wall

between Rooms A and B is opened (resulting in Room A+B), this control link (along with the other

Room Processor configurations for Room A+B) comes

off the shelf

and is activated.

In summary, creating control links in a room combine situation is no different from creating them in

other situations. You simply work with each

room

one at a time, creating the control links you need for

that specific space. When that room is in use, its control links are activated.
