KX7
In-Wall Controller
Quick Reference Guide
The KX7 is designed for sophisticated installations that require a touchpanel with the size and power to
take command of a room’s environmental and media technology. With advanced features like a multi-touch
capacitive touchscreen, direct IR/RS-232 control and analog video inputs, the KX7 possesses the style and user-
friendliness required to t any type of setting.
The KX7 provides superior quality and reliability as well as these features:
• Stylish low-prole faceplate with a gloss nish (standard is white, however other faceplate options are available).

• Composite, S-Video or component video inputs allow viewing at 480i, 576i, 480p, or 576p.
• RS-232 port for direct control of devices via RS-232 communication.
• High output IR port for direct control.
• Network connectivity via an integrated 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port and 802.11b/g wireless LAN module.
• Completely customizable and programmable.
• Powered using RTI Control Port or PoE (Power over Ethernet).
• Integrated microphone and camera.
• Built-in ambient light and proximity sensors.
• Field upgradable rmware.
• USB and Ethernet programming.

Installation & Operation
MOUNTING
The KX7 is designed for ush-mount, in-wall installations. It requires an available mounting depth of 2 inches (52.5mm) from the surface of the wall.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is little margin for error when tting the KX7 into the wall opening.
Make sure to use the included cardboard cut-out template to create the correct size opening in the wall. Additionally, carefully double-check that all
measurements taken using the cardboard cut-out template are accurate.
MOUNTING HEIGHT
The recommended mounting height for the KX7 is between 54 inches (1.37m) and 60 inches (1.52m) from the bottom of the faceplate.
MOUNTING WINGS
Two mounting wings are located on the top and bottom of the KX7, which can be used to secure the KX7 to drywall in retrot installations. Place KX7 in the
opening in the wall and tighten the mounting wing screws located on the front of the KX7 (bezel removed).
CONDUIT BOX
For new construction installations a conduit box may be purchased separately from an RTI distributor. For mounting instructions, refer to the conduit box
installation guide
CONNECTIONS
VIDEO INPUTS
The KX7 supports 1 Component video source, up to 2 S-Video sources, or up to 3 Composite video sources.
• VIDEO 1
This BNC jack functions as an S-Video (Y), Component (Y), or Composite video input.
• VIDEO 2
This BNC jack functions as an S-Video (C), Component, or Composite video input.
• VIDEO 3
This BNC jack functions as a Component (PR) or Composite input video input.

CONTROL PORT
The Control Port on the KX7 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 KX7 in addition to infrared and RS-485 communication.
ETHERNET PORT
The KX7 is designed for connection to a LAN via Cat-5 cabling with RJ-45 termination. Additionally, the KX7 can be optionally powered using Power-Over-
Ethernet, allowing the power to be extended to the KX7 over the same Cat-5 cable that carries Ethernet communication. When powering the KX7 using
PoE, a class 3 PoE router or PoE injector must be used.
RS-232
The KX7 is capable of direct RS-232 communication using a Cat-5 cable with RJ-45 termination. A DB9 - RJ45 adaptor is included with the KX7.
NOTE: RS-232 communication should be limited to 50 feet (16m) depending on baud rate.

FERRITE RING INSTALLATION
In order to comply with regulatory agency standards for EMI
emissions, the included ferrite ring must be installed on any cable
attached to the KX7 Ethernet Port, Control Port, RS232 Port or
Video Input.
• To open the ferrite ring enclosure pry open the plastic latch.
• Insert cables into the ferrite ring at the end of the cables as
close to the KX7 enclosure as possible.
• Close ferrite ring enclosure until the latch snaps in place.

PROGRAMMING
THE TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY
The KX7 touchscreen display is programmed using the RTI Integration Designer Programming Software. Normally it is organized into a series of pages
containing objects (buttons, text, graphics, etc.) that are related to each other. For example, they may all display information necessary for controlling a
particular music server.
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).
UPDATING SOFTWARE
RTI’s Integration Designer data les can be downloaded to the KX7 using a USB cable (USB A to Mini B), or via hard-wired or wireless Ethernet. If the KX7 is
hard-wired to a LAN and the router has DHCP enabled, the initial data le can be made over Ethernet.
