What is the WCM-071?

The WCM-071 wired keypad is seven button keypad for use with
the wired system. It is designed to operate up to 8 separate
curtains/blinds in a single room before any custom programming is
added.

WCMs require a RAK-LINK to operate as part of the system.
WCMs (as part of the wired network generally) can be wired in two
ways:

“Daisy Chain” configuration - A single run of keypads runs from
the RAK-LINK and to an end point. It is still usually advisable to run
a return leg back to
the RAK-LINK as a spare.

“STAR” configuration - Cables are all run back to a central point: a RAK-STAR usually
located with the RAK-LINK. Each cable can be from a single keypad or a leg of keypads.

Installation Note:

The WCM comes in two sections “Front” and “Back” they are referred to as such in the following
installation guide. The “Back” section is just a connection board for the CAT5/6 cable. The “Front”
section contains all memory and programming.

Installation of the WCM with screwless finish plates (WLF/WLM):

Step 1

Prepare cable(s) in backbox ready for connection.

Separate the two halves of the WCM ready for

punchdown connections) will be installed first.

TIP:

Leave plenty of slack if possible to allow for
re-punching down at a later date if required.

Step 2

Punch down cable(s) matching cable colours to
colours written on the circuit board. There may be
either one or two sets of cables to punch down.

Step 3

Terminate the WCM as required. See
“Terminating the WCM” on page 4 of this manual.

The back section of the WCM is now installed and
is ready for the front section and cover plate.

TIP:

Take care when preparing and installing not to disturb
the punchdown connections. Loops are provided on
the back section to cable tie the cable(s) if desired.

Step 4

Clip the front section of the WCM into the grid and
connect the front section of the WCM to the back
section of the WCM.

Screw the grid for the screwless cover plate into
the backbox.
