1 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the operating procedures for the KP95-0 keypanel when used in an ADAM™, ADAM CS
or Zeus™ DSP Intercom System. The KP95-0 must be programmed from a PC with the ADAMedit or ZEUSedit
intercom configuration software. If you need to change the keypanel setup or access other information about the
keypanel setup, you will need to consult with your system administrator.

1. Designation Strip Holder: A strip can be inserted here to identify the talk key assignments. Designation strips
show the alphanumeric names for the destinations (intercom ports, party lines, etc.) that have been assigned to
the talk keys. The ADAMedit or ZEUSedit intercom configuration software is used to assign these names and
print the designation strips. See “Alpha Assignments” and “Print” in the application help.
2. Talk Keys: These are used to talk to the keypanels, party lines, etc. that are indicated on the designation strip.
3. Gooseneck Microphone: Pressing any talk key activates the gooseneck microphone.
4. Incoming Messages Key: When a call is received, pressing the incoming messages key will allow you to
respond to the caller.
5. Intercom Volume: The outer volume control knob adjusts headphone and speaker volume for intercom
communications.

3 KEYPANEL OPERATION
3.1 POWER SWITCH
A power switch is located on the back of each keypanel and expansion panel next to the power cord connector.
3.2 VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
Adjust your speaker listen level as desired (or headphone listen level if you are using an optional headset).
If listen levels for one or more key assignments are higher or lower than the rest, ask your system administra-
+
tor to adjust these levels at the intercom system.
3.3 PLACING A CALL
Activate the talk key for the person, party line etc. that you want to talk to:
For momentary talk, hold down the talk key and talk into the microphone. When you
release the key, it will return to the center (off) position.
For hands-free talk, place the talk key in the “up” position and talk into the microphone.
Return the talk key to the center (off) position when finished with your conversation.
You may not be able to hear the person, party line, etc. to whom you are talking. This can happen when talk-
+
ing to non-keypanel devices. In this case, ask your system administrator to change the listen assignment for
that key. For example, the key can be assigned with auto-listen so that listen automatically activates whenever
the talk key is pressed.
On some occasions, when a particular talk key is pressed, the call will not be placed. There are two occasions
+
when this happens. The first is when the key is assigned to an IFB and another keypanel with a higher IFB
priority is currently using the IFB. The second occasion applies in ADAM or ADAM CS intercom systems
when the talk key is assigned to a person, party line, etc. of a remote intercom system, and there are currently
no trunk lines available to route the call.
3.4 RECEIVING CALLS FROM OTHER KEYPANELS
Whenever there is an incoming call, you will hear the caller in your speaker or headset. If there is a talk key
assigned to the caller, you can respond by pressing it. However, since the KP95-0 does not have displays for
incoming caller identification, the standard procedure is to use the talk keys for outgoing calls only and to use the
Incoming Messages key to respond to incoming calls. Simply press the Incoming Messages key to talk back. If
another person calls you during your conversation with the first caller, you will also hear the new caller. To talk to
the new caller, you must first clear the previous caller by momentarily placing the Incoming Messages key in the
Clear (up) position. Then press down to talk to the new caller.
