Installation • 9

CATS-KP

Installation

The keypad has been designed to be installed in a double size J-box, such as Carlon 32.0 cu.in.

IMPORTANT: For normal operation the CATS™ units have to be v2.3 or higher.

Installation steps

1. Installing CAT5 cables and RJ-45 plugs.

2. Connecting CATS™ units to the network.

3. Connecting CATS-KP™ keypads to the network.

4. Connecting TW523 (TW7223) Power Line Interface (optional)

5. Configuring installed keypads.

Step 1—CAT5 cable

Short for Category 5, network cabling that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 connectors.

Cat-5 cabling supports frequencies of up to 100 MHz and speeds of up to 1000 Mbps. It can be used for ATM, token ring, 1000Base-T, 100Base-T, 10Base-T and/or audio/video networking.

Computers hooked up to LAN s are connected using Cat-5 cables, so if you're on a LAN the cable running out of the back of your PC is, most likely, Category 5.

Cat-5 is based on the EIA/TIA 568 Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard developed by the Electronics Industries Association as requested by the Computer Communications Industry Association in 1985.

CAT5 provide an ideal inexpensive medium for a digital home as the same type of cable can be used for the whole house network.

1. Wiring plans

There are two standard RJ-45 wiring plans:

10 • Installation

Figure 1: Wiring plans

We recommend using plan T-568B. Before connecting units we recommend to test the integrity of the cables and the connectors

using a cable analyzer (such as AtlasIT). Loose or broken wires may stop the network functioning.

Step 2—connecting the CATS™ units

To ensure normal operation the CATS™ units must be connected to CAT5 cables according to the house wiring diagram. Please refer to the CATS™ User’s Manual for more information.

1. CATS™ RJ-45 pin-out

The following wires are used in CATS™ network:

• 1, 2 – RS485 (A) and RS485 (B) NOTE: USE DB-9 pins 2 & 3 for new designs

• 3, 4, 5, 6 – Audio/Video and infrared IR traffic

• 7, 8 – grounded.

The new generation of CATS™ units (firmware 2.3) does not use RJ45 pins for RS485 signaling. The DB9 socket is used instead. Please check the integrity of the RS485 network before using it.

Figure 2: CATS™ connectors

Split CAT5 cable for the new generation of units as follows:

• RJ45 pin 1 – DB9 pin 2

• RJ45 pin 2 – DB9 pin 3

Installation • 11

2. Make sure that each unit has a unique RS485 address.

The recommended addresses are:

• 230 – 237 for receivers

• 240 – 247 for transmitters

• 250 for the router

• 100 – 131 for CATS-KP™ wall keypads

Note: You can use the CATS-KP™ keypad or a PC-based software to store unique addresses in the

units. Only 1 unit must be connected to the RS485 network during this procedure!

Step 3—connecting the CATS-KP™ keypads

The CATS-KP™ wall keypad uses 12V DC (unregulated) as the power source. The power could be provided by a CATS™ unit or a separate power supply.

The new generation of CATS™ units has power provided to the DB9 socket which can be used by the keypads.

1. Connect 12V DC, RS485 and RJ11 cables (optional) to the keypad.

Figure 3: Keypad connectors

Note: Please insure the correct polarity of the RS485 and power connectors.

2. Adjusting the LCD backlight by turning the trimmer.

By turning the trimmer you adjust the level of the LCD backlight in the low-light environment (at night). You may need to cover up the light sensor on the front of the keypad while adjusting.

Source selection

[Root –> (#3) -> Source selection]

CATS-KP™ keypad allows up to 18 sources to be configured and labeled. Sources 1 and 2 belong to the local (target) CATS™ receiver which the keypad has been configured to control.

Source #1 corresponds to the Local Main input and source #2 to the Local Aux input. Sources 3 to 18 belong to remote transmitters. Even numbered source (4,6,8 etc.) always belong to the auxiliary inputs on the corresponding CATS™ transmitter. Odd sources (3,5,7 etc) always belong to the main inputs on the corresponding CATS™ transmitter.

Not all CATS™ transmitters or receivers have local auxiliary sources. The installer must have all connected unit types available prior to configuring the keypad.

Button [5] has dual functionality depending on how many sources have been configured.

Figure 9: Source selection screen

If more than 4 sources exist (including 2 default sources for the local receiver), the button [5] sign looks as in the figure 9. In this case pressing button 5 will lead to the next source selection screen (sources 5, 6, 7 and 8), and so on, until the last configured source has been displayed.

If 4 or less sources have been configured, the button [5] sign will look as in the figure 10.

Figure 10: Return to root sign

Lighting scenes

[Root –> (#4 short press) -> Lighting scenes]

Figure 11: Lighting scenes screen

The CATS-KP™ keypad allows for configuration of up to 4 lighting scenes, each consisting of up to 7 X10 commands issued sequentially.

A typical mode would be the “I am home” scene when a series of light control commands may be issued in order to provide desired mood lighting. Another example might be the “Going out” scene when all lights will be switched off.

For more information see the chapter on Lighting Scenes Configuration in this manual.

Transport Menu

[Root –> (#5 short press) -> Transport –> (2.5 sec delay) -> Root]

Figure 12: Transport menu (CATS Media Server (CMS) ™)

Before the keypad can control the CATS™ network it must know the network addresses of all participating units. CATS™ Setup menu includes the following 4 modes:

Transmitters Setup

[Root –> (#5) (Long press) -> Utilities -> (#5) -> CATS Setup -> (#1) TX Setup]

As described before, the CATS-KP™ keypad can control up to 18 audio/video sources (1 CATS™ receiver and up to 8 CATS™ transmitters). Each transmitter available to the keypad must be made known to the keypad by providing its network address. If no transmitter is connected to a particular router’s output, address 000 must be entered.

After pressing button #5 the router number will increment. If an erroneous address is entered you must go through all 8 screens first and then enter the

transmitter setup mode again in order to correct the error. Once a transmitter’s address has been entered, a new couple of inputs per transmitter can be

configured. See Source selection chapter for more details.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that each transmitter’s address must be unique for the network

to function properly.

Menu items • 25

Target Setup

[Root –> (#5) (Long press) -> Utilities -> (#5) -> CATS Setup -> (#2) Target Setup]

Similarly to transmitters’ addresses above, the receiver’s address must be made know to the keypad before it can “talk” to it. Although only 1 receiver’s address can be entered, several keypads can control the same receiver. It is useful when installed in large rooms where it makes sense to have multiple controls.

Use up and down buttons (#1 and #2) to increment/decrement units, tens and hundreds; and left and right buttons (#3 and #4) to choose the cursor position.

Please remember that addresses from 240 to 247 are usually reserved for transmitters and 250 for the router.

After the address has been entered and button #5 pressed, the following screen will appear:

This has been designed to help setting up the network and to configure participating CATS™ units without a PC.

By pressing button #2 (“Yes”) the keypad will issue a network command to store the configured target address in the unit’s memory. Because this command uses the “network-wide broadcast” address, only one unit must be connected to the keypad during this operation. Please make sure that no other units are connected.

In both cases, after pressing buttons #2 or #4 the keypad will go back to the CATS™ Setup menu.

Router Setup

[Root –> (#5) (Long press) -> Utilities -> (#5) -> CATS Setup -> (#3) Router Setup]

As with the transmitters and the target, the network router’s address must be made known to the keypad as well. Please use similar procedures to move the cursor and change values. Also make sure that the address is unique. We strongly recommend using 250 (default).

After button #5 has been pressed the following screen will appear:

26 • Menu items

This will store the router’s output number to which the target receiver is connected in the keypad’s non-volatile memory. Please have your network diagram available at the time of entering to ensure that the entering number is correct.

Please see the CATS™ User’s manuals for more information on the structure of the CATS™ network.

Keypad address setup

[Root –> (#5) (Long press) -> Utilities -> (#5) -> CATS Setup -> (#4) Keypad address setup]

There can be up to 32 keypads connected to the same segment of the network. In order to maintain the proper network structure each unit connected to the network must have a unique network address. This is also true for keypads.

Please make sure that each keypad’s address is unique.

Figure 15: Keypad Setup Menu

Clock/Calendar Setup

[Root –> (#4 long press) -> Keypad Setup -> #1 -> Clock/Calendar Setup]

The CATS-KP™ keypad has a real-time clock/calendar which needs to be set before the keypad can be used properly.

Buttons #3 and #4 will move the cursor left and right whereas buttons #1 and #2 will change the values.

The clock is in 24-hr format and the calendar format is dd/mm/yy starting with the year 2000 (00). The clock is set as soon as the button #5 is pressed.

Under some rare circumstances the clock may lose its settings or stop completely. Please reset the keypad (see Reset chapter) before re-entering the correct time and date.

Lighting scenes configuration

[Root –> (#4 long press) -> #2 -> Lighting scenes configuration]

28 • Menu items

There are 28 scene components grouped in 4 scenes of 7 components each. In other words, components

• 01 – 07 belong to lighting scene #1,

• 08 – 14 to scene #2,

• 15 – 21 to scene #3,

• 22 – 28 to scene #4.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that you must configure at least 1 scene’s component to

include the scene in the list of available scenes. For example: configuring components 01, 02,03 and 04 will only produce scene #1 as a series of 4 lighting commands. In order to configure 4 separate scenes of 1 command each you must configure components 01, 08, 15 and

22.

Each lighting scene can have from 0 to 7 defined components. Erasing the first component in the scene will erase the scene from the list of available scenes.

Use buttons [3] and [4] to move the cursor left and right, and buttons [1] and [2] to change the parameters of a component.

Lighting components must be constructed of 3 parts:

• house code (A –P)

• unit code (01 – 16)

• command code (ON, OFF, UOF, LON, LOF, BRT, DIM, TGL)

The commands are:

• ON switch light on

• OFF switch light off

• UOF all units off

• LON all lights on

• LOF all lights off

• BRT single step bright command

• DIM single step dim command

• TGL toggle light. If the light was off – switch it on and vice versa.

The user must configure all 3 parts of a lighting component in order to store it in the nonvolatile memory.

Pressing buttons [1] and [2] simultaneously will erase the entire component. Lighting scenes are stored in the non-volatile memory and will remain unchanged even if the

power has been disconnected for a long time.
