Introduction

About this Manual

This manual provides installation and operation instructions for the Extron MKP 3000, MKP 3000 L, and MKP 3000 MAAP Remote Control Panels.

The MKP 3000 Series are network-ready remote control panels that can control any Extron matrix switcher. The MKPs’ RS-232 ports allow them to communicate with other devices (another MKP or a matrix switcher) locally and their Ethernet port allows them to communicate with multiple devices.

The MKP 3000 L and the MKP 3000 MAAP are each functionally the same device as the MKP 3000, but with the following differences in their front panels:

• The MKP 3000 MAAP front panel includes a four-space mini architectural adapter plate (MAAP) opening. Any MAAP device can be installed in this space; but a typical application would include an MKP 10 MAAP, which is an auxiliary keypad for the MKP 3000.

• The MKP 3000 L model is designed to be installed in a lectern. Its front panel is shorter and wider than that of the MKP 3000, and has a built-in 12-button keypad similar to the Extron MKP 10 MAAP. You can also install this model in a rack, using the optional UCM RAAP controller rack mounting kit.

In this manual, the term “MKP 3000” applies to all three models unless the description specifically names a particular model.

About the MKP 3000 Series Remote Control Panels

You can create ties on the MKP 3000 in two modes: matrix mode (the default) and input-only mode. In matrix mode, you specify an input and one or more outputs to be tied to it. In input-only mode, you select one output, then specify an input to be tied to it. The MKP can also be dedicated to a specific group of inputs and outputs when it is configured using the built-in Web pages. You can also recall global presets, view current connections, or adjust the volume for any output by using the front panel controls, SIS™ (Simple Instruction Set) commands, and/or the embedded Web pages.

The MKP 3000 panel is mounted on a two-gang wall plate that can be installed in a wall, conference table, podium, or other convenient location. The MKP 3000 MAAP is mounted in a three-gang wall plate, and the MKP 3000 L is mounted directly onto a lectern or other furniture.

Setup examples

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 has 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).

Video Conference Room

Input

Figure 1-1 — Typical MKP 3000 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.

UL requirements for wall box installation

The following UL requirements pertain to the installation of the MKP 3000 into a wall (figure 2-1) or furniture.

1. These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC

power source or used beyond their rated voltage range.

2. These units must be installed in UL listed junction boxes.

3. These units must be installed with conduit in accordance

with the National Electrical Code.

Installing a mounting bracket (mud ring) or wall box

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

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

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

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.

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

If you are using a wall box, refer to the cut-out 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.

CAUTION

2. Use the template (or place the wall box or mud ring

against the installation surface), and mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.

3. Cut out the wall material from the marked area.

Extron provides one mud ring with each MKP control panel. However, the user 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.

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

ring, or control panel into the opening. The box or mud ring 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 the 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).

UL requirements for rack mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the MKP 3000 L into a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the

equipment is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer. For the MKP 3000, the Tma is 122 °F (50 °C).

2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a

rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

2-8

MKP 3000 Series • Installation

Installation, cont’d

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the

rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to

the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of

rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Control connections

The MKP has two RS-232 ports (a Host port [4] and a Switch port [5]) and an LAN (Ethernet) port (1). The following paragraphs describe different possible ways of connecting the MKP to a switcher via RS-232 or Ethernet.

RS-232 connection

An MKP control panel can be directly cross-connected to any Extron matrix switcher through the switcher’s switch RS-232 port (see figure 2-16, later in this chapter, for pin assignments for the RS-232 cable). A control system or host computer can be connected via the MKP’s Host RS-232 port.

Additional MKPs can be connected to the matrix switcher through the MKP that is RS-232 connected (the primary MKP). In the configuration shown in figure 2-11, additional (secondary) MKPs are connected to the primary MKP via the primary MKP’s Ethernet port.

RS-232 cable termination

Each MKP control panel has two RS-232 ports that are connected using 3.5 mm, 3-pole direct insertion connectors. Figure 2-13 shows the pin assignments for these ports.

Wire the connectors as follows:

The total cable length between an MKP control panel and a matrix switcher should not exceed 100 feet (30 m).

1. Choose a cable such as Extron’s Comm-Link cable. The

wire specifications for Comm-Link cable are in appendix A, “Reference Information.” Colors may vary from this example.

2. Trim approximately 1.5" (3.8 cm) of the cable jacket to

expose the four insulated wires and a bare drain wire (silver-colored).

3. Cut off the foil shield and discard it.

4. Strip ¼" ( 0.6 cm) of insulation from three of the four wires.

5. Twist the strands of each wire, insert them into the direct

insertion connector, and tighten the captive screws.

Ethernet connection

An MKP control panel can be directly connected to any Ethernet-enabled matrix switcher via the switcher’s Ethernet port (figure 2-13) using a TP (network) cable that is wired as a crossover cable (see “TP cable termination,” later in this chapter, to properly wire the cable).

Ethernet (TP) cable termination

It is vital that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5, 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to 328' (100 m).

CAUTION

Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Do not stretch or bend cables. This can cause transmission errors.

The cable you use depends on your network speed. The MKP supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 5 UTP or STP cable as a minimum

• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable as a minimum

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable. It must be terminated properly for your application (figure 2-16).

Front Panel Operations

The MKP 3000 normally operates in the matrix input/output selection mode. This is the default mode, in which you can set up a tentative tie by selecting an input, selecting an output, and then taking (commanding) the tie. The MKP 3000 can also operate in input-only mode, in which you can view the current ties by scrolling the outputs. In this mode, you first select an output, then complete the tie by selecting an input.

Additionally, the MKP can operate in preset mode (select presets), view mode (view ties without changing them), audio volume mode (adjust the audio output volume), or setup mode (set the IP addresses and other parameters).

The MKP is provided with default labels installed in the front panel buttons (figure 3-3). It also includes a strip of alternative labels that you can insert in one or more of the mode selection buttons to make using the other modes more clear. These additional button labels are shown in the applicable front panel operation descriptions. See “Changing Button Labels” in appendix A, “Reference Information,” for the procedure for replacing these button labels.

Viewing and configuring the IP and MKP setup parameters

To configure the MKP to operate in your LAN, you may need to change one or more IP addresses and the host control port setting. The duration of the LCD display’s back light is also adjustable. Figure 3-7, “Selecting setup parameters,” later in this chapter, provides a diagram of the procedures for setting up the IP connection, backlight duration, and tie mode parameters using the front panel controls.

The following MKP parameters can be set from the front panel in setup mode:

• IP address (default = 192.168.254.253)

• Subnet address (default = 255.255.0.0)

• Gateway address (default = 0.0.0.0)

• The host matrix switcher’s IP address (default = 0.0.0.0)

• Host control port setting (pass-through or no passthrough) (default = no pass-through)

MKP and its Switcher RS-232 port.

• LCD display backlighting interval

• Tie mode:

 Matrix mode (default)  Input-only mode

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields (octets) separated by dots (periods). Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits total per octet, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

If any of the default addresses conflict with other equipment at your installation, you can change them to any valid value.

The MKP must be in the administrator executive mode for you to be able to set these parameters. In user executive mode, you cannot change the configuration.

CAUTION

Editing the Extron IP address and other parameters while the MKP is connected via the LAN port can immediately disconnect the computer from the MKP. Extron recommends editing this field using the front panel or the RS-232 link, and restricting Ethernet access to these parameters by assigning an administrator’s password that is available only to qualified and knowledgeable personnel.

Edit these addresses and set the host control setting as follows:

1. Simultaneously press and hold buttons 2, 3, and

(typically labeled Input, Output, and Take) until all buttons light amber and the LCD display changes (figure 3-7) to enter setup mode (approximately 2 seconds).

• The LCD display shows the MKP’s IP address. The most significant octet (first one on the left) of the MKP’s IP address is highlighted by a caret (>), indicating that it is editable.

• Pressing button 2 changes the IP address shown in the LCD display, cycling through the various IP addresses, and then selects the host control setting, the connection priority, and the LCD backlit duration, as shown in figure 3-6.

• Pressing button 3 changes the editable octet (moves the caret) of the selected IP address, as shown in figure 3-6.

2. Use button

and button 3 to select and display the

desired address and octet.

3. Rotate the Select knob to increase or decrease the octet

value until the LCD display shows the desired value.

If an optional MKP 10 MAAP keypad is connected or you are using an MKP 3000 L, you can use the keypad in place of the Select knob.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to select and change other addresses

and/or octets.

the mode you want.

Resets from the Rear Panel

You can perform two types of resets from the rear panel of the MKP 3000: soft and hard.

Performing soft resets

The remote control panel has three soft resets available that restore various tiers of MKP settings to their default settings.

• Events (mode 3) reset — Restarts the communications

and control events.

• IP system (mode 4) reset — IP system reset resets most IP

protocols to their default settings.

IP system reset clears the Internet protocol (IP) settings, but does not reset the target address, the host control setting, the priority setting, or any user-loaded files.

• Absolute (mode 5) reset — Performs all of the system reset functions and clears the MKP’s IP address to

192.168.254.253 and its subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. This function is identical to the SIS command chapter 4, “SIS™ Operation”).

SIS™ Operation

RS-232 Links

The MKP’s rear panel 3-pole, 3.5 mm, Host RS-232 connector (figure 4-1) can be connected to the RS-232 serial port output of a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control system. This connection makes software control of the control panel possible. The rear panel Switcher connector can be connected to the Remote or RS-232 port of a matrix switcher.

The default protocol for both ports is as follows:

• 9600 baud* • no parity

• 8-bit, 1 stop bit • no flow control

Figure 4-1 — RS-232 connector pin assignments

*The default baud rate is 9600, but this can be changed, using the MKP’s Web pages, to 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600, 4800, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, or 115200 baud to match the switcher’s baud rate. See “Port (RS-232) Settings” in chapter 5, “HTML Operation,”

to change the baud rate.

Routing matrix switcher commands

When the MKP is connected to the matrix switcher via its Switcher RS-232 port, the MKP can redirect SIS matrix switcher commands received on the Host RS-232 port to the matrix switcher.

If the MKP receives a valid matrix switcher SIS command on its Host RS-232 port, it redirects the command to its Switcher RS-232 port only if the MKP is set to Pass-through mode. See the “RS-232 port redirect” command set on page 4-9 or “Host Control Port settings” in chapter 5, “HTML Operation,” to set the Pass-through mode.

Ethernet Link

The rear panel LAN connector on the MKP can be connected directly to a host computer (for setup) or a matrix switcher (for switcher control), or to an Ethernet LAN or WAN (to which a host computer, other MKPs, and a matrix switcher can also be connected).

• Connection directly to a host computer requires a crossover cable.

• Connection via an Ethernet LAN requires a patch (straight-through) cable.

See “TP cable termination” in chapter 2, “Installation,” to create crossover and patch cables.

Default IP address

To access the MKP via the Ethernet port, you need the Extron IP address. If the address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters (DHCP host name), you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the ping (ICMP) utility. If the address has not been changed, the factoryspecified default is 192.168.254.253.

Host-to-MKP Instructions

The MKP accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through the Host RS-232 and Ethernet ports. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each MKP response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

MKP-Initiated (Unsolicited) Messages

When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the MKP responds by sending a message to the host. The MKPinitiated messages are listed below (underlined).

Www, DD Mmm YYYY hh:mm:ss (for IP connection) The MKP initiates the copyright message when it is first

powered on or when connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. In the IP connection response,

Vx.xx = firmware version number Www = day of the week (first three letters) DD = day of the month (two digits with leading zero if needed) Mmm = month (first three letters) YYYY = year

hh = hour; mm = minutes; ss = seconds

Password:

The MKP initiates the password message immediately after the copyright message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet, and the MKP is password protected. This message means that the MKP requires an administrator or user level password before it performs the commands entered via this link. The MKP repeats the password message response for every entry other than a valid password until a valid password is entered.

The MKP initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user password has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the MKP defaults to administrator privileges.

Str The MKP initiates the Str message whenever a front panel

button or knob is operated. This includes the optional MKP 10 MAAP keypad, if connected, and the standard MKP 3000 L keypad.

MKP Error Responses

When the MKP receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the MKP is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the MKP returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large) E10 — Invalid command E12 — Invalid output number (too large) E13 — Invalid value (out of range) E14 — Illegal command for this configuration E24 — Privilege violation (Ethernet, Extron software only) E99 — Invalid or no response from target switcher

Using the Command/Response Table

The command/response table begins on page 4-9. Lowercase letters are acceptable in the command field except where indicated. The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of each ASCII character used in the command/response table.

ASCII to HEX Conversion Table

•

The MKP always redirects a subset of valid matrix switcherspecific SIS commands on its Ethernet port and, if configured in pass-through mode, on its Switcher RS-232 port.

It is not the purpose of this manual to define in detail the passed-through matrix switcher-specific SIS commands. Refer to the applicable matrix switcher’s manual.

Symbols are used throughout the tables to represent variables in the command/response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the MKP SIS commands table.

HTML Operation

You can use a Web browser, such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, to configure the MKP through its Ethernet port, when it is connected via a LAN or WAN. The browser’s display of the MKP’s configuration has the appearance of Web pages. This chapter describes the factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.

If your Ethernet connection to the matrix switcher is unstable, try turning off the proxy server in your Web browser as follows:

1. In Microsoft’s Internet Explore, select Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN

Settings.

2. Clear the Use a proxy server... check box.

3. Click Ok.

Downloading the Startup Page

Access the MKP using HTML pages as follows:

1. Start the Web browser program.

2. Enter the MKP’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.

If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.253, is the correct value for this field.

3. If you want the browser to display a page other than the

MKP 3000 Web page (such as a custom page that you have created and uploaded), enter a slash (/) after the address, and the name of the Web page file that you want to display.

The browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/{optional_file_name.html}.

Figure 5-1 — Enter Network Password page

A User name entry is not required.

5. In the Password field, enter the appropriate administrator or user password. Click OK.

The MKP checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds accordingly:

• If the address includes a specific file name, such as

10.13.156.10/file_name.html, the MKP downloads that HTML page.

• If there is a file in the MKP’s memory that is named

“index.html,” the MKP downloads “index.html” as the default startup page.

• If neither of the above conditions is true, the MKP

downloads the System Status page (figure 5-2), which is the factory-installed default startup page with the file name “nortxe_index.html.”

You can now select the tabs at the top of the screen to display additional pages that enable you to configure and control the MKP 3000.

5-2

Using any of the following characters results in an invalid name: {space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.

4. Press Enter on your keyboard. The MKP checks to see if it

is password protected. If the MKP is not password protected, proceed to step 6. If the MKP has a password, the network password prompt

window appears (figure 5-1).

IP Settings section

In this section, you enter all IP-related information for your MKP 3000. After making all desired changes to the fields in this section, click the Submit button at the bottom of the section to implement your changes. Click Cancel if you want to reject all your changes and restore the previous settings.

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the locally-assigned name of the MKP. This name field can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

Using any of the following characters results in an invalid name: + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the MKP to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable).

The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.

IP Address field

The IP Address field contains the IP address of the MKP. This value is encoded in the MKP’s flash memory.

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields (octets) separated by dots (periods). Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, up to three digits per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.253, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

CAUTION

Gateway IP Address field

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the switcher that is to be used if the MKP and the switcher are not on the same subnet.

The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the MKP’s IP address. The default gateway address is

000.000.000.000.

IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system administrators should change IP addresses.

Subnet Mask field

A subnet is a subset of a network – a set of IP devices that have portions of their IP addresses in common. The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the MKP is on the same subnet as the switcher’s server when you are subnetting. The default is 255.255.000.000.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is hardcoded in the MKP and cannot be changed.

Firmware field

The Firmware field displays the currently version of firmware that is currently loaded on your MKP.

Model field

The Model field shows the name of your MKP model. (For the MKP 3000 MAAP, this field displays “MKP 3000 LCD KEYPAD.”)

Part Number field

The Part Number field contains the generic part number of your MKP model:

• MKP 3000 and MKP 3000 MAAP without a keypad: 60-708-00

• MKP 3000 L: 60-709-00

• MKP 3000 MAAP with MKP 10 keypad: 60-710-00

Switcher Control Settings section

Host Control Port settings

If Primary – RS-232 has been selected in the MKP Connection Priority section, select one of the following radio buttons to specify how the Host RS-232 port will function:

• MKP 3000 — Commands received on the Host RS-232

port are executed by the MKP.

• Pass Through — Commands received on the Host RS-232

port are forwarded to the connected switcher via the Switch RS-232 port.

If either Secondary – IP Connection to Primary MKP or IP Connection to Switcher was selected in the MKP Connection Priority section, the Host Control Port Settings selections are grayed out and unavailable.

Switcher Size settings

The MKP cannot determine the matrix size of the switcher to which it is connected. You must use the Switcher Size drop boxes to specify the number of inputs and outputs.

If the switcher size is not set, the default size is 16 x 16, and the input and output sizes range from 1 to 128.

When you have set the size of the connected switcher’s input/output matrix, the LED display shows N-A if you attempt to tie to an input or output outside the available range for this MKP or the connected matrix switcher, from the front panel.

Switcher IP settings/Primary MKP settings

Depending on the connection type selected in the MKP Connection Priority section, you can enter an IP address and password (if one was assigned) for the switcher or the MKP. The address and password are required for the MKP and the matrix switcher to communicate via their RJ-45 LAN connections. The default IP address value is 000.000.000.000.

• Primary – RS-232 Connection to Switcher — The IP

address fields are unavailable.

• Secondary – IP Connection to Primary MKP — Enter the

IP address and/or password for the MKP that is directly controlling the switcher (via IP or RS-232).

• IP Connection to Switcher — Enter the IP address and/or

the password for the switcher.

Authorized Inputs and Authorized Outputs settings

You can use the Authorized Inputs and Authorized Outputs drop boxes to narrow the number of inputs and outputs that are controllable from the MKP.

Front Panel Configuration Lock settings

Select the radio button for the executive mode that locks or unlocks the MKP front panel. The available modes are:

Administrator — All front panel controls are unlocked. User — Limited front panel control is enabled (input and output

selection, preset selection, and volume control). Panel configuration and IP and switcher addressing are not available.

Panel Locked — All front panel controls are locked and

unavailable.

This is the same function as the front panel security lock described in chapter 3, “Local Operation.” The front panel can also be locked/unlocked via SIS commands, discussed in chapter 4, “SIS™ Operation.”

Switching method radio buttons

In this section, select the desired radio button to specify the mode in which the MKP 3000 will create input/output ties.

• Matrix mode (the default) — In matrix mode, you specify an input and one or more outputs to be tied to it.

• Input-only mode — In input-only mode, you select one output, then specify an input to be tied to it.

You can also change the tie mode using the front panel controls. See “Changing the tie mode,” in chapter 3,

“Local Operation.”

Save/restore configuration buttons

Click the Save Configuration to File button to save the MKP 3000’s current settings to a configuration file (.cfg extension) on your computer.

Mounting and Cabling Specifications

Electrical box cutout

Any standard box that meets the local electrical codes can be used, but boxes from different manufacturers may have different size openings. Extron recommends testing the fit of the MKP inside the electrical box and then placing the box flush against the mounting surface and tracing the cutout area.

Panel mount cutout templates

Figure A-1 shows the dimensions for cutting a hole to accommodate the keypad circuit board for mounting an MKP 3000 on a flat surface. This type of installation can include a desk or podium, or a control panel or dashboard, where the back is protected and does not require an electrical box.

Changing Button Labels

The MKP ships with default labels installed in the front panel buttons (see figure 3-2, “Input/output selection mode labels”). It also includes a strip of alternate labels that you can insert in one or more of the mode selection buttons to make using the other modes clearer.

To change the labels in the MKP’s buttons,

1. Remove the button from the MKP

by grasping the button firmly and pulling it away from the panel.

Various button models are available. Your buttons may appear different.

2. Use a small screwdriver or Extron

Tweeker to gently lever the button cap off of the white backing plate.

3. Insert a button label into the cap

and gently but firmly press the cap onto the white backing plate.

4. Press the button into place in the MKP.

Use notch to remove button.
