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).

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.

appropriate to the mounting option you have selected.

CAUTION

I/O

MKP 3000

Preparing the site

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. Cutout
templates that show the cut-out requirement for the circuitry
enclosure on the rear of the control panel are provided in
appendix A of this manual.

CAUTION

The control panel must be installed into a
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved electrical
wall box.

When installing MKP control panels, you must conform
to all national and local electrical codes.

Only the MKP 3000 template in this manual is to
scale. Use the others for reference only.

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).

To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be
cut back 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 UL listing requirements, the MKP must be
installed in a wall box.

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

MKP 3000 Series • Installation

2-9

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).
