You Need a Personal Computer With Serial Port
CKEditor will run on any Pentium II or faster Windows PC. Your PC should be equipped with an adequate amount
of RAM for the operating system you use. CKEditor is compatible with the Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and XP Pro
operating systems. It is not compatible with Windows 95 or previous versions of windows. Note that many modern
laptops do not come equipped with a serial port. If there is no serial port, purchase a USB to Serial adapter.
Although many manufacturers supply adapters or hubs for this purpose, we can vouch for the
operation of Belkin and Keyspan hubs and adapters.
CKEditor is installed via a self extracting installer file downloadable from www
.bkcomp.com. You need a connection
to the internet to download the file or to update CKEditor.
Close ALL Applications That Use Serial Ports - Use B&KTask Manager!
Although you may be using an adapter with multiple serial ports (or your PC may
be equipped with more than one), don’t use more than one at a time. Doing so
will overtask many system’s resources and cause errors and problems. B&K’s Task
Manager will only open CKEditor after you have closed BKcSuite or SR10.1 Remote Editor (and vice versa).
However, you must manually close such programs as Hotsync for the Palm Pilot and LapLink if they are running (right
click on any icons in the windows task bar representing these programs and exit them).
You Need an RS232 Connecting Cable & Adapters As Necessary
B&K include a pre-made cable suitable for connecting a Serial port to the CK1.2 keypad. However, if this is lost or
misplaced here is the pin configuration for a serial cable:
DB 9 DB25 Function Stereo 3.5mm Plug Connection
Pin 3 Pin 2 Host Transmit To Tip
Pin 2 Pin 3 Host Receive To Middle Ring
Pin 5 Pin 7 Host Ground To Base Ring
Keep Your Database Up to Date — USE LIVE UPDATE
CKEditor includes a vast library of IR codes for hundreds of brands and models of A/V components.This database is
constantly growing with the inclusion of new devices every month. Keep your software up to date by using the Live
Update feature. Rather than un-installing and re-installing the software, you download updates to the software from
the internet. Simply follow these steps:
1 Connect to the Internet normally.
2 Open CKEditor
3 From the Help Menu, select Live Update
4 In the Live Update window, click on Update Now.
5 Wait for the window to indicate the download is
completed. Close the Window.
6 Close and re-open CKeditor. You do not need to restart Windows

Overview
The Goal - Minimize Training Time and Effort
Training clients has traditionally taken too much of an installer’s time and effort. Creating
hand written summary sheets and instruction books for customers is a waste of time.The
CK1.2 Keypad is designed to save time.With each keypad, B & K includes a pre-printed
customizable Operation Manual. Unlike other keypads, this manual has nothing to do with
setup or programming. It is a guide to operating the client’s home theater! Although the
flexibility of the CKEditor software enables you to program keypads in thousands of different ways, the operations manual will show the customers how to operate their home theater if you follow a few tips as you program.
TIP - Program To Operate As Shown In The Guide to
Operation
1 You must create a DEVICE (a set of 1 to 4 dedicated LCD pages) for each remote control you want the
keypad to replace. Use the IR database or IR learning so that the CK1.2 Keypad can control all needed
functions.
2 The MAIN Power On and Power Off buttons turn on and off the entire zone (including any local compo-
nents or devices) with a macro.
3 Each of the MAIN LCD Device buttons issues a macro that reconfigures the system
inputs and modes as necessary for the client to watch or listen to the selected source.
4 Punch Through Volume and Mute have been programmed for all devices so that the client can always
adjust the volume regardless of which device has been selected.

Utilizing FAV - Favorite Macros
Although this is typically programmed as channel or radio station macros, you should keep in mind that a channel
lineup change in the future will require a service call to reprogram a few pages of channel macros for your client. If
the client approves the costs of reprogramming whenever the channel lineup changes, then by all means program
channel macros in FAV. However, there are many other uses for FAV that will not be affected by channel lineup
changes. It is easy to write macros that recall B & K presets to give the client one touch macros that reset the tone,
enable loudness compensation, set surround modes and speakers etc.
Remember the advantage of FAV. Whenever you press the FAV button, the
CK1.2 Keypad remembers the device you were last on. So, when you are finished using FAV, you simply tap the MAIN
button. The CK1.2 Keypad will return to the device and page you were last using!
FAV LCD buttons can do a macro with 1 to 190 steps. Thus it can issue (by programming a MACRO of one step)
any single IR command that is learned or preprogrammed with one exception. FAV LCD buttons cannot store
learned or pre-programmed IR commands.This makes them incompatible with commands that have to be pressed
and held (like volume up or bass+). However, by utilizing B&K presets you can recall particular settings for bass, treble
etc.The best approach is to program some useful presets with BKcSuite then recall them with a short two digit
macros in FAVS.

Using FAV - Favorites
The favorites menu is created uniquely for
you by your custom installer. The screen
labeled buttons now issue MACROS that
will reset your system with one touch.
Typically, the favorites menu is programmed with one touch “shortcut” buttons
that issue all of the necessary commands
to change the channel of your satellite dish
or television. Thus, instead of entering a
two or three digit number (which you must
remember) and the enter command, you
simply select the favorite button labeled
HBO, CNN, TNT etc.
To use the FAVORITE Menu:
1. Press the FAV button. The top title bar will now display FAV.
Use the FAV button and the PAGE button to navigate through your various pages of FAVORITES. The FAV button scrolls up and the PAGE button scrolls down through the pages available.
To EXIT Fav and return to the last activity/device selected, press the
MAIN button ONCE. To EXIT Fav and go to the MAIN Menu, press the
MAIN button twice.

Programming Considerations for the CT610/310/600
Keypad Feedback
Whenever the user selects a new zone input, the CT610/310/600 will/can update the keypad. This has a lot of advantages to the user, since the keypad will stay synchronized even if the user selects a new input via a remote control,
the front panel, a slave keypad, an RS232 macro or someone in the house uses a global command. Zone status feedback is accesible by pressing the backlight button.
TIP - Use Keypad Feedback in your systems, so that the keypad displays zone input

Programming the CT610/310/600 for Keypad Feedback
You are completely free to assign keypad feedback as you like. The flexibility of the CK1.2 enables you to make the
system as intuive and user friendly as you can imagine. Each zone has eleven potential input changes and twenty possible keypad status positions.You must assign each input you use the correct keypad status jump. An unused input
should have it’s keypad status TURNED OFF.
1 Connect the B&K to your PC, open BKcSuite and select BASIC SETUP for the CT610/310/600.
2 On the Basic Setup tab, name the zones and the inputs (including the dedicated inputs).

Important Note! Only assign a keypad position to an input that will be used by
the keypads. If an input does not have a source connected to it, don’t assign a
keypad position to it.
The dedicated inputs in this example system have all been connected to a stack
of six satellite receivers, so the keypad itself will be labeled SAT in this position.

Source Devices Created
In this example, the devices
corresponding to the settings
you made for the receiver are
made.This master file will be
used as a starting point for
every keypad. In the empty
device spots you may insert
devices for local TV’s etc.
In this example, the Dedicated
Input is labeled SAT since each
zone has it’s own dedicated
DSS receiver connected to the
dedicated inputs.
Local Devices Added
In this example, the bedroom
zone incorporates a television
set, a Lutron Graphic Eye (IR
controlled lighting), and Makita
IR controlled drapes. Other
zones will not have these
devices added to them. Only
the bedroom keypads need
them.

Programming Overview
A. Start with a New File, Existing File on PC or in an Installed Keypad
NEW - Starting from scratch on a new job, go to the File Menu, choose New from the File Menu and pick
the type of template you would like to use to program with. The B&K Default file has CT610/310/600 specific IR commands pre-loaded in.This is particularly useful for testing operation before any programming
has begun.Typically, it is easiest to just start with an empty configuration.
OPEN - Open a configuration that you have worked on before and saved onto the PC hard drive.
UPLOAD - Get a file from a client’s keypad that another installer created. Now, you can save the file on
your laptop, make any edits or changes as the client requests or the jobsite requires.
B. Use SAVE AS to Name and Save First!
The templates files are simply configuration files that have been preprogrammed for you. They will keep any changes
you make. Utilize Save As to make a new file with a new file name. All configuration files are saved with the file
extension .mxf; all device files are saved with the extension .mxd (see D. Save and Export, below).
C. Use the Program Menu In Order
The Program Menu is your lifeline to a fast, easy programming experience. It is important
that you do all of the tasks for each step before moving on to the next step. In the tutorial
you will see how important it is to download between several of the steps.
D. Save and Export Your Work
Archive and save your customer files. In addition, you can export devices as .mxd files. Programming systems with
similar components gets even faster when you don’t have to redo your work over and over. You have your own ideas
about what buttons should be labeled and how they should be arranged. You’ll save all of your work in a unique and
time saving way by exporting the device stand alone.That way, you can import just the device in any new configuration.
E. Download to Each Keypad
For once, you have a pre-printed summary sheet and an instruction manual for the entire Home Theater! Enjoy a
brief training with your client and get home on time tonight!
