WIRING POWER/RELAY/SENSE INPUT CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: While making these connections, the
phoenix connector must be unplugged in order to reach the
screws that are used to secure the wiring in the terminal.
During the wiring process, place the phoenix connector into the
“Wire Staging” location (see Step 1). After all of the wiring is
connected, nish installing the phoenix connector by aligning it
with the Power/Sense/Relay port and pushing it into place (see
Step 2).

SENSE INPUTS
These inputs are capable of sensing contact closure or a voltage trigger (2-24VDC). The sense
input mode can be congured within Integration Designer
or a voltage trigger, events such as IR commands, macros, relay closure, can be executed
automatically.
Wiring for contact closure sense: Connect one of the wires from the device to one of the
sense inputs (labeled 1-6) and the other wire to the KX3 ground input.
Wiring for voltage trigger sense: Connect the positive (+) wire from voltage source to one
of the sense inputs (labeled 1-6) and the negative (-) wire to the KX3 ground input.

RELAYS
Contact Closure Control
The KX3 relays provide contact closure or switching control for loads up to 2A/30VDC (60W max)
each. Relays are “Normally Open” when not energized, but they can be programmed to behave
“Normally Closed” as long as power is applied to the KX3.
Wiring For Contact Closure Control:
1. Connect one of the equipment leads to Contact A of a KX3 relay (labeled 1-4)
2. Connect the remaining equipment lead to Contact B of the same relay.
Voltage Trigger Control
The KX3 relays can also be used as a voltage trigger which requires additional wiring (see
diagram).
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using a relay as a voltage trigger, the KX3 MUST be powered via a
CB8 connecting block or a power supply. The voltage trigger will not work when PoE is used.
Wiring For Voltage Trigger Control:
1. Connect the ground terminal (GND) of the KX3 to the ground connection on the equipment to
be triggered.
2. Install a jumper wire (#22 AWG) between the KX3 +12-16VDC terminal and the Contact A
terminal of the relay that is being used to send the voltage trigger.
3. Connect the Contact B terminal of the relay to the +12VDC input on the equipment being
triggered.

RS-232
The KX3 is capable of two-way RS-232 communication with supported electronics via standard Cat-5
cable with RJ-45 termination (568B). Two RJ-45 to DB-9 adapters are included.
NOTE: RS-232 communication cabling should be limited to 50 feet (16m). The actual distance varies
depending on baud rate.

CONTROL PORT
The Control Port on the KX3 uses a Cat-5 cable with RJ-45 termination. When used in conjunction
with an RTI control processor (e.g. RTI XP-6) and an RTI connecting block (e.g. RTI CB-8), this
port serves as the power source for the KX3 in addition to infrared and RS-485 communication.

ETHERNET PORT
This RJ-45 port allows connection to a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network (LAN). The KX3 also has integrated wireless Ethernet capability if a hard-wired connection is not possible. Network
settings such as the IP address are congurable within Integration Designer.
The Ethernet (LAN) connection enables communication with an RTI control system, direct control of devices via IP, MJPEG video, intercom, RTiPanel support and power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
When powering the KX3 using PoE, a 802.3af Compliant class 3 PoE switch must be used.
NET LINK LED: The Net Link LED located above the Ethernet port will illuminate if the KX3 is connected to an Ethernet network. The LED will ash intermittently dependent upon trafc.
PROGRAMMING
THE TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY
The KX3 touchscreen display is programmed using the RTI Integration Designer Programming Software (available to authorized RTI dealers only - rticorp.com).
UPDATING FIRMWARE
It is highly recommended that this and all RTI products have the latest rmware installed. The rmware can be found in the Dealer section of the RTI website (www.rticorp.com). Install the
rmware using a USB cable (USB A to Mini B) via the USB port located on the front of the KX3 (bezel removed).
UPDATING SOFTWARE
Integration Designer data les can be downloaded to the KX3 using a USB cable (USB A to Mini B) or via Ethernet (hard-wired or wireless). If the KX3 is hard-wired to a LAN and the router
has DHCP enabled, the initial data le can be made over Ethernet.
ZIGBEE WIRELESS SETUP
The KX3 has an integrated Zigbee
installation guide on the RTI dealer website for installation instructions and best practices.
