WK-2 Keypad

Installation
Guide

Introduction

The McIntosh Model WK-2 Keypad is designed to re­motely operate McIntosh A/V Control Centers, Preamplifi­ers and Multizone Controllers. The WK-2 also includes an
IR Sensor which allows the IR Signal Commands from a
Remote Control to be passed onto the McIntosh A/V Con­trol Centers, Preamplifiers and Multizone Controllers. The
Keypad allows Input Selection, Transport Functions, Tuner
Functions, and Volume Level Adjustments.

Installation and Connection

The WK-2 Keypad mounts in a standard two-gang wall
outlet box and connections are made using a RG59U or
RG6 Coax Cable (300ft max.) with F Connectors at both
ends. Connect the Coax Cable between the WK-2 and the
F Connector on a McIntosh A/V Control Center, Pream­plifier, Multizone Controller or Integrated Amplifier. Up to
four keypads can be connected in parallel on the same co­axial line. When the WK-2 is to be connected to a McIn­tosh A/V Control Center that uses a Five Pin Terminal
Connector instead of the F Coax Connector, connect the
Center Conductor to Pin 4 and the Shield Conductor to Pin

5. Refer to figure 1.

Note: Before connecting the WK-2 Keypad to a McIntosh A/V

Control Center, Preamplifier, Multizone Controller or
Integrated Amplifier, make sure that the Main AC
POWER Switch is in the Off Position (or remove the
units AC Plug from the AC Wall Outlet).
