About the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel

MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel • Table of Contents

Introduction

This manual provides installation and operation instructions for
the Extron MKP 2000.

About the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel

The MKP 2000 is a network-ready remote control panel that can
control any Extron matrix switcher. The MKP’s RS-232 ports
allow it to communicate with other devices (another MKP or a
matrix switcher) locally and its Ethernet port allows it to
communicate with multiple devices.

An MKP 2000 user can remotely create ties by specifying an
input and then an output to be tied to the input. The MKP can
also be dedicated to a specific group of inputs and outputs
when configured using the built-in Web pages.

The MKP 2000 panel is mounted in a two-gang wall plate that
can be installed in a wall, conference table, podium, or other
convenient location.

The matrix switcher system can have up to 128 inputs and 128
outputs. However, for example, a conference room may have
three input devices and two output devices; a training room
next door may have four input devices and one output device;
and so on. Typically, each room will have one or more MKP
control panels assigned to it, with each MKP limited to the
inputs and outputs that it can control.

In the example in figure 1-1, the “presentation room” (top,
center) has one output device, a projector (C), and four input
devices: a video camera (13), a laptop computer (12), and two
PCs (11 and 14). The “Media Room” (bottom, right) contains
the matrix switcher, as well as other inputs (1-6) and possibly
some control device(s).

Figure 1-1 — Typical MKP 2000 applications

An overflow crowd in the video conference room and/or the
training room may need to see a lecture going on in the
presentation room. In this case, the video camera (input 13)
must be available to those other rooms. Therefore, the MKPs in
the video conference and training rooms will be programmed to
allow selection of input 13 for displays in those rooms, in
addition to any video sources and/or displays there.

RS-232 connection to the switcher

Any number of MKP 2000s can be connected to a matrix
switcher through its RS-232 port, but one MKP must be
designated as the primary controller. Other MKPs can be daisy­chained through the primary MKP remote control panel.

Installation

CAUTION

Installation and service must be performed by
authorized personnel only. UL Listed electrical
boxes are recommended. See “UL Requirements for
Wall Box Installation” on the next page.

The MKP 2000 remote control panel should be installed in a
standard, 2-gang electrical wall box (figure 2-1). Figure 2-1 shows
the MKP installed in a wall. It could also be installed in a desk, a
podium, or any other convenient location.

The procedures provided here assume that the electrical wall
boxes and the cables have been installed for the system. “Rear
Panel and Side Panel Connections,” starting on page 2-8,
provides guidance for terminating the cables.

MKP Installation Overview

To install an MKP 2000 remote control panel, follow these steps:

Disconnect power from the matrix switcher and all MKPs

1

in the system.

Prepare the site by cutting a hole in the wall or furniture,

2

installing the electrical box or mounting bracket (mud
ring), and preparing the cables. See “Preparing the site
and installing the mounting bracket (mud ring) or wall
box,” later in this chapter, or the documentation provided
with the wall box, for these procedures.

Connect the cable between the MKP and the matrix

3

switcher. See “Rear Panel and Side Panel Connections,”
starting on page 2-8.

Connect power cords to the MKP and the matrix switcher.

4

Test the MKP’s ability to communicate with the matrix

5

switcher.

Disconnect power from all the devices.

6

Mount the MKP into the electrical box or to the mud ring.

7

If using a wall box, see “Mounting the MKP to the
mounting bracket (mud ring) or wall box,” later in this
chapter.

Installation, cont’d

Preparing the site and installing the mounting bracket (mud ring) or wall box

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference.
Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You
may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or
conduits before installing the control panel.

The installation must conform to national and local electrical
codes and to the equipment’s size requirements. A cutout
template that shows the cutout requirement for the circuitry
enclosure on the rear of the control panel is provided in
appendix A.

CAUTION

Extron recommends installation using a UL listed wall box
(available from Extron) for most mounting options, but you can
use the included mounting brackets (mud rings) instead.

CAUTION

Install the mud ring or wall box as follows:

1. If you are using a mud ring, use the template that came

with the mud ring. Cut out the indicated center portion.

If you are using a wall box, refer to the cutout template in
appendix A that corresponds to the faceplate you are
using; and cut out the center portion of it as indicated on
the template.

2. Place the wall box or mud ring against the installation

surface or measure the cut according to the template, and
mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or
furniture.

3. Cut out the wall or furniture material from the marked

area.

The templates provided in this manual are not to
scale. They are provided for reference only.

Before using the mud rings, verify that the installation
conforms to national and local electrical codes.

Extron provides one mud ring with each MKP
control panel. However, you may choose to use a
wall box. Because the tolerances on electrical boxes
are very loose, Extron recommends that you
measure the actual box that you plan to use before
making any precise cuts.

The electrical box must be at least 2.5" (7 cm) deep to
accommodate the MKP’s rear enclosure.

To meet the UL listing requirements, the MKP must be
installed in a wall box.

4. Check the size of the opening by inserting the wall box,

mud ring, or control panel into it. The box or mud ring (if
used) and/or control panel should fit easily into the
opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if
needed.

5. If you are using a wall box, feed cables through the wall

box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps
to provide strain relief.

6. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources

of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with
heat shrink (figure 2-2).

To prevent short circuits, you can cut back the outer
foil shield to the point where the cable exits the cable
clamp. Both braided and foil shields should be
connected to an equipment ground at the other end
of the cable.

7. If you are using a mud ring, follow the directions, if any,

that came with the mud ring to attach the clips that fasten
it to the wall or furniture (figure 2-3).

To meet the UL listing requirements, the MKP device
must be installed in a wall box.

If you are using a wall box, insert the wall box into the
opening; and attach it to the wall stud or furniture with
nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer
wall or furniture surface (figure 2-4).

If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10
screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of ½ inch (1.3 cm)
of screw threads must penetrate the wood.

If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use
four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine
bolts with matching nuts.

Figure 2-4 — Attaching a wall box to a wall stud

8. Connect the Ethernet and/or RS-232 cable (as appropriate)

and the power cable, and test the MKP before fastening the
control panel into the wall box. See “Rear Panel and Side
Panel Connections” on page 2-8, for details.

The rear panel connectors will be inaccessible after
installation.

Mounting the MKP to the mounting bracket (mud ring) or wall box

1. Remove power from the control panel by disconnecting

the power supply.

2. Place the control panel through the opening in the wall or

furniture and through the mud ring or into the wall box.
Take care not to damage the cables, which fit behind the
MKP, at the back of the wall box.

3. Mount the MKP’s faceplate to the mud ring or wall box

with machine screws (figure 2-5).
