There simply isn’t anything that compares with the beautiful, elegant and powerful wired keypadCUEs.
The models are keypadCUE-1G, keyapadCUE-2G and keypadCUE-3G. These programmable wall
mounted control panel devices are designed to be built into a standard 1-gang, 2-gang or 3-gang
electrical boxes.
All buttons are supported with backlight, programmable indication and user changeable button labels
that can be printed on a laser printer and inserted into the keypad. The full-function console keypads
may be used as dedicated wired controllers for audio, video and environmental functions.
All keypads are programmed using Cue Director programming tool. Control commands are described
in the Programming Manual CPL References, chapter Keyboards.

2. Front Panel
The front panel is equipped with buttons and bar graphs. The number of buttons and bar graphs
depends on a type of keypad hereby
• keypadCUE-1G has (8) buttons and (1) bar graph
• keypadCUE-2G has (16) buttons and (2) bar graphs
• keypadCUE-3G has (248) buttons and (2) bar graphs
All buttons have low and high intensity levels of the red back light. All buttons are set to low back light
intensity after keypad switch on. The back light intensity level can be changed for each button
independently from a control unit by a program commands. High level is used for a status indication.
Bar graphs are equipped with (20) LEDs and they are controlled by special programming commands
from a control unit.

3. Button Labels
All models use one big label foil for all buttons.
Steps
1. Prepare the foil using the layout AutoCAD files named
• CS0221.0011.2-Foil.dwg for keypadCUE-1G
• CS0222.0011.2-Foil.dwg for keypadCUE-2G
• CS0223.0011.2-Foil.dwg for keypadCUE-2G
These files are available on www.cuesystem.com.

2. Print the foil on a standard printer.
3. Cut the foil into a shape according the picture (see above).
The BUTTON_ID transmitted by a keypad and BARGRAPH_ID are numbers used in the programming
for button and bar graph identification. Both values depend on a button or bar graph position and it
depends on a keypad ADDRESS too. Both values are calculated according formulas
BUTTON_ID = Offset + Button Code
BARGRAPH_ID = Offset + Bar Graph Code
Offset = 32 * ADDRESS
The lowest BUTTON_ID is generated by a button in the upper left corner the highest BUTTON_ID is
generated by a button in the lower right corner. The left bar graph has lower BARGRAPH_ID the right
bargraph has higher BARGRAPH_ID - see example for ADDRESS = 0 on the next picture.
