Description

Figure 1.1

KP-32 keypanel front view..

The RTS™ Model KP-32 Keypanel fits in a standard 19" rack and is two rack spaces high. It has
32 lever keys: 30 keys are for intercom talk/listen assignment; one key is for call waiting
response; and one key is for headset/microphone/program selection and volume setup. The KP-32
combines all of the programmable features of the KP9X Series Keypanels and the KP-12
Keypanel. It adds significant new features such as digital signal processing and binaural headset
operation with left/right assignment of audio signals. The KP-32 also introduces large, super­bright, long-life fluorescent displays with adjustable brightness control, making it suitable for all
types of ambient lighting from direct sunlight to darkness.

Features

• Super-bright, fluorescent displays: Provide much better visibility and useable life than LCD
displays. A display saver mode with programmable scrolling message extends display life and
conserves power during periods of inactivity.

• 32 lever keys, with 30 keys available for full talk/listen configuration: Doubles the number of
channels over the KP9X series keypanels. Keys support both latching (hands-free) and
momentary (push-to-talk) operation.

• Enhanced programming keypad: Provides the complete KP9X keypad sequences, plus new
keypad sequences, plus an extensive scrollable menu system. Menus include helpful prompts
to walk the user through setup.

1-2 KP-32 User Manual

• Only 90 mm deep behind the front panel (approximately 130 mm with connectors): Perfect for
consoles, OB vans, etc.

• Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Improves microphone voice activation and limiting. Adds
new mixing, metering, and filtering capabilities.

• Binaural (5-pin) Headset Connector: Works with the DSP mixing feature. Lets you
independently assign intercom, microphone, and program audio to left or right headphone.
Note: monaural (4-pin) connector available as an option. For monaural operation, the mixer
lets you select which items are monitored in the headphones.

• Easy upgrades: Firmware updates can be received via the internet, for example, and then
downloaded to the KP-32 via the intercom connection. Ready for future communication
enhancements, including coax, fiber, and ISDN. (For further information, search for keyword
"firmware" in ADAMedit help.)

NSTALLATION

Option DIP Switch Settings

Switch 1: Latch Enable/Disable

Default setting = Open: Enable.

Description: An intercom key can always be turned on for momentary conversation by pressing
and holding the key during the conversation. There is also an electronic latching feature that lets
you tap intercom keys to turn them on or off. This permits convenient hands-free conversation.
However it can also result in a talk circuit being left on unintentionally. For example: A key that
talks to a public address system could be accidentally left on. Or an IFB key (a type of key
assignment that is often used by a director or producer to give instructions to a listener, such as a
news anchor during a television broadcast) could accidentally be left on, causing confusion for
the IFB listener. To prevent such accidents, the latching feature can be turned off.

Note

DIP switch 1 disables latching for the entire keypanel. If you just need to disable latching for
selected keys, leave DIP switch 1 in the "Open" position. Then, disable latching for the desired
keys using the "D" check boxes in the Keypanels / Ports setup screen of ADAMedit.

Switch 2: Key Gain Enable / Disable

Default setting = Open: Enable.

Description: Enables or disables the Key Gain item in the Key Assign menu.

Switch 3: Screen Saver Enable / Disable

Default setting = Open: Enable.

With Screen Saver enabled, the KP-32 will shut off the display and enter a low-power state after a
few minutes of inactivity. The display reactivates instantaneously on incoming call or when the
keypanel operator actuates any control. As with all fluorescent and back-lit LCD displays, some
dimming will occur after many years of operation. Using the screen saver helps maximize the
display life.

2-2 KP-32 User Manual

Switch 4: Call Flash Timeout

Default setting = Open: 15 Second Flash.

Description: Whenever there is an incoming call and there is a talk key assigned to the caller, the
talk LED next to that key will flash. The flash can be set for 15 second timeout, or until the
caller's talk key is released.

Note

Future versions of ADAM Edit and Zeus Edit will be able to override the Call Flash Timeout
setting.

Switch 5: Footswitch Enable / Disable*

Default = Open: Disabled.

Description: The optional Connector Module has a footswitch (GRP CALL) input. If the
footswitch is enabled (DIP switch 5 set to the "Closed" position), then keys that are latched on
will not activate until the footswitch is closed. Latched keys are indicated by winking green talk
LEDs (on time less than off time), and when the footswitch is activated, the LEDs provide the
normal talk-on indication.

Notes

1 If the talk key is held down in Footswitch mode the channel will be activated until the user

releases the key. The use of this function does not require the footswitch to be used.

2 If DIP switch 1 is set to the “Closed” position, nothing will latch.

3 Individual keys can be set to non-latching via ADAM Edit. If this is done, the footswitch has

no effect on the keys that have been set to non-latching. Please see ADAM Edit help for more
information.

Switch 6: Network Mode Selection

Default Setting: Open (Mode 1)

Description: In the Mode 1 setting, the keypanel functions operate as called out in the main
portion of this manual. If the switch is closed (Mode 2), then the functions operate as outlined in
this manual with slight modifications. Any function that is affected by Mode 2 operation will
have an asterisk (*) by it. The changes/modifications to the functionality is called out in the
section titled “Mode 2 Operation”

Switch 7: Test/Debug

Default Setting: Open.

Switch 8: Test/Debug

Default Setting: Open.

Address Switch Setting

General Information

In Zeus, ADAM CS, and ADAM Intercom Systems, intercom ports are arranged in groups of
eight. All ports in a group share a common data port. Each KP-32 keypanel is uniquely identified
on the data port by the setting of its Address switch. The method of determining the proper
Address switch setting varies for each intercom system. Use the method for your intercom system
as described below. Then set the white pointer on the Address switch to point to the correct
setting.

2-3

Address Setting for Zeus

Intercom port connectors on the Zeus back panel are arranged in three groups of eight intercom
ports. For each group, intercom port connectors are labeled ID 1, ID 2, etc. When you connect a
KP-32 keypanel to Zeus, set the Address switch to match the corresponding ID number on the
Zeus back panel. Note that address switch settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.

Address Setting for ADAM CS

Each Audio I/O card contains 1 group of 8 intercom ports. However, the method of breaking out
the groups depends on the type of connectors on the back panel.

ADAM CS with RJ12 or DB-9 back panel:

The intercom port connectors are arranged in groups of 8. The first connector at the left for each
group is Address 1, the next is Address 2, and so forth.

Note

Address switch settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.

2-4 KP-32 User Manual

Figure 2.1

Address number vs intercom port numbers for 8-Port Audio I/O Cards (ADAM AND ADAM
CS Intercom Systems.

ADAM CS with 50-pin Telco back panel:

Determine the address setting from Figure 2.1. To use the table, locate the intercom port number
to which the KP-32 will be connected. Then, read across to the "Address" column to find the
Address number. Set the KP-32 Address switch to this number.

Note

Settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.

2-5

Address Setting for ADAM

Each Audio I/O card contains 1 group of 8 intercom ports. Determine the address setting from
Figure 2.1. To use the table, locate the intercom port number to which the KP-32 will be
connected. Then, read across to the "Address" column to find the Address number. Set the KP-32
Address switch to this number. Note: settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.

Connections

EXP. AND LCP Connectors

Connect from the Exp. connector on the back of the KP-32 to the Expansion 1 connector of an
optional EKP-32 Expansion Panel. Use the interconnect cable supplied with the Expansion Panel.
The Expansion 2 connector on the Expansion Panel can connect to a second Expansion Panel, but
no more than 64 intercom keys can be operated per intercom port.

Each LCP-32/16 adjusts the listen levels for 16 keypanel keys, and you can connect as many
LCP-32 panels as required to adjust all keys on the KP-32 and on an optional EKP-32 Expansion
Panel. An interconnect cable is supplied with each LCP-32. Connect the first LCP-32 to the LCP
connector on the KP-32. Connect the second LCP-32 to the first LCP-32, and so forth.

Note

When arranging LCP-32 panels in an equipment rack, you should put them directly above or
below the keys they will be used to adjust.

Frame Connector

Use either of the Frame connectors (but not both) to connect to an intercom port of the intercom
system. The intercom port you connect to should agree with the address that you set previously.

RJ12 Intercom Cable Wiring

Power Supply Connector

Align and insert the external power supply connector. Tighten the locking ring. Connect a power
cord to the power supply and to an AC power source. The power supply accepts 100-240 VAC,
50/60 Hz.

At power-up, the alphanumeric displays will first show asterisks (****). After several seconds to
a minute the intercom key assignments will display.

Note

If the keypanel cannot establish communication with the intercom system, all alphanumeric
displays will continue to show asterisks. Check the keypanel to matrix cable connection if this
occurs. If the keypanel loses communications with the intercom, it will not revert to ****’s for 30
seconds. Hence, if there is a short disruptionin the data communications, the panel will not show
****’s at all (although the panel my briefly display ----’s).

Headset Connector

A stereo headset may be connected for use along with or in place of the front panel speaker and a
separate microphone. Headphones may be connected for use with a separate microphone.

Headset Microphone Gain Adjustment

the back panel. Turn the pot clockwise to increase gain and counter-clockwise to decrease gain.
The limits are ±20 dB from nominal.

Panel Microphone Connector

A panel microphone may be connected for talking with either the front panel speaker or
headphones used for listening. The connector accepts MCP5, MCP6, or MCP90 Panel

2-7

Microphones. Insert the microphone and rotate the entire microphone body several turns to lock
in place.

Panel Microphone Gain Adjustment

The gain of the panel microphone preamp can be adjusted via the recessed trim pot located on the

Screen Saver Operation

If the KP-32 is set for screen saver operation, the alphanumeric display automatically shuts off
after several minutes of inactivity. The display reactivates on incoming call or when the keypanel
operator actuates any control. DIP switch 3 enables/disables screen saver operation.

Note

You can override the normal timeout period for screen saver operation and immediately place the
keypanel in screen saver mode. See "Service Menu, Disply Dim".

Selecting Headset or Speaker

Tap the Headset / Vol. Sel. key upward. The Vol. Sel. display alternates between

Hdst

and

Spkr

with each key tap. The Headset LED lights when the headset is selected and is off when the
speaker is selected.

Note

Future versions of ADAM Edit and Zeus Edit will be able to override the Headset or Speaker
setting.

Listen Volume Adjustments

By default, the Vol. control adjusts the listen volume for the speaker or headset, whichever
appears in the Vol. Sel. display. The level of auxiliary program inputs 1 & 2 (if GPI/O board is
present and Aux inputs are enabled) and the level of incoming audio from the intercom matrix can
be adjusted. To adjust a level, press the Vol. Sel. button until the desired source appears in the
Vol. Sel. display (

Aux1, Aux2, or Icom

). Then, use the Vol. control to adjust the listen volume. The

Vol. control defaults back to the speaker or headset after about one minute of inactivity of the

control. The minimum volume level for either the keypanel speaker or headset may be adjusted.
See “Service Menu, Min Volume”.

Note

You can save the volume adjustments to be the power-up defaults using "Service Menu, Save
Cfg".

Intercom Keys and Displays

Alphanumeric Display Indications for Intercom Keys

Upper Case Letters: Upper case letters indicate keys that have any kind of talk assignment, with
or without a corresponding listen assignment. Example:

DIR1

Lower Case Letters: Lower case letters indicate keys that have only a listen assignment. Example:

dir1

.

Dashes

----

: Dashes indicate a key that has no talk or listen assignment.

Flashing Alphanumeric Display: This means the key is activated to talk to an IFB, ISO, or TIF.

Note

The flashing alphanumeric display for TIF keys, remote IFB keys, and remote ISO keys can be
disabled by placing a check mark next to "Don't generate tallies for TIF and trunk use" in
ADAMedit (Options menu, Intercom Configuration, Options tab).

LED Indications for Intercom Keys

Note

Future versions of ADAM Edit can override LED indications.

Talk LED Indications

The talk LED is the lower LED for each key. The talk LED indications are as follows:

Continuous Green*

Talk is on and the keypanel operator can be heard at the destination.

Continuous Red Talk LED & Flashing Display Alpha ("In-use")*

The key is off, but someone is talking to the destination. This indication is provided for any local
PL, IFB, ISO, or TIF key. It does not apply to remote IFB or ISO keys. This indication is provided
so keypanels operators know when critical director communications are occurring. If you activate
the key, either of two things will happen:

• If you activate the key and the talk LED turns continuous green, this indicates that you and the
other keypanel operator are both talking to the destination.

• IFB keys only: If the talk LED flashes red when an IFB key is activated, this indicates that the
other keypanel has a higher IFB priority and you cannot talk at this time.

Note

The red "in-use" indication for TIF keys can be disabled in ADAMedit: In the ADAMedit
Options menu, select Intercom Configuration, then click on the Options tab. Place a check mark
next to "Don't generate talliesfor TIF and trunk use". Be sure to send the change to the intercom
system. Note that this will also disable the flashing alpha display when talking to remote IFBs or
ISOs as previously described.

Flashing Red Talk LED & Flashing Display Alternating Pattern of Alpha & (-**-)
("Busy")

You cannot talk at this time. This indication occurs when you activate a local IFB key that is
already in-use by a keypanel with a higher IFB priority. It also occurs when you activate any key
assigned to a remote destination, but there are currently no trunks available.

Note

Flashing red is also the intended indication when attempting to talk to a remote IFB while
someone else with a higher trunk IFB priority is already talking. However, this will require
ADAM MC version later than 9.9.x and Trunk MC version later than 7.x.x. As of this writing,
these versions are not implemented. Regardless of the indication provided, you will not be heard

3-3

at the remote location if your keypanel has the lower trunk IFB priority. IFB trunk priorities are
set in ADAMedit. (Click the "KP" button on the ADAMedit toolbar to access Keypanels / Ports
setup, then click the "Edit" button, then click the "Advanced" tab. Enter the desired IFB priority in
the fields provided. Be sure to send the change to the intercom system.)

Flashing Green Talk LED & Display Alpha (on time equal to off time)*

There is an incoming call from the destination assigned to the key. Activate the key to talk back.

Note

The duration of incoming call flash is controlled by DIP switch 4 on the KP-32 back panel. See
"Option Switch Settings" for further information.

Winking Green Talk LED (on time less than off time)*

This indicates that a key is ready to talk (key is on), but requires external footswitch activation to talk.

Listen LED Indication

The listen LED is the upper LED for each key. The listen LED is green when listen is on.

Intercom Key Operation

Basic Intercom Key Operation

The "up" position of an intercom key activates listen (if assigned). The "down" position activates
talk (if assigned). If there is no talk assignment for an intercom key, the talk position of the key
will not activate. If there is no listen assignment, the listen position will not activate.

For momentary activation of a key press and hold the key. Then, release it when finished.

For latching operation (if enabled) tap a key; it will turn on and remain on. Tap the key again to
turn it off when finished.

Note

Latching may be turned off for the entire keypanel by setting DIP switch 1 on the KP-32 back
panel to the Closed position. Latching may be disabled for individual keys on a keypanel using
ADAMedit: Click the KP button on the ADAMedit toolbar to open the Keypanels / Ports setup
screen. Select the intercom port where the keypanel is connected. Place a check mark in the "D"
check boxes for any keys where you want to disable latching. Be sure to send your changes to the
intercom system.

Operation of Intercom Keys with Auto Functions

Note

Assignment of keys with auto functions is described in the programming sections that follow.
Descriptions of the auto functions are also contained in the Glossary.

Operation of keys with auto functions is as follows:

Talk + auto follow

Talk and listen can be activated separately. The listen assignment listens to whatever is assigned
to the talk key.

Talk + auto listen

Both talk and listen will activate when talk is activated.

Talk + auto mute

Listen will turn off when talk is activated.

3-4 KP-32 User Manual

Talk + auto reciprocal

Listen will always be on, and talk may be turned on or off.

Talk + auto table

If an IFB talk key has an auto-table listen assignment, talk and listen can be independently
activated. The listen key listens to whatever is defined as the IFB Listen Source for the IFB that is
assigned to the talk key.

Note

A full explanation of the auto-table feature is beyond the scope of this manual. For further
information, search for "IFB" in ADAMedit help, then read the topics "IFB Auto Table
Description" and "IFB Setup Procedures".

All Call Key

Activating the key will also activate all keys to the left of it (up to, but not including another all­call key).

Talk + D I M

If a point-to-point key has the DIM function as a level 2 talk assignment, activating the key will
cause the crosspoint levels to diminish for any other intercom ports that are currently listening to
the same destination and that are in the same DIM table.

Note

A full explanation of DIM tables is beyond the scope of this manual. For further information,
search for "dim table" in ADAMedit help.

Operation of Intercom Keys with Options

Group Option Keys

Activating the master key in a key group will activate all keys in that group according to each
key's individual key assignment. Activating a slave key will not affect any other keys in the
group.

Solo Key

Activating a key that has the solo option will cause all other keys to turn off until the solo key is
again turned off.

Operation of Intercom Talk Keys with the Speaker DIM Setting

Activating any talk key will cause the speaker or headphone volume at this keypanel to diminish
by the amount specified in the Dim menu item on the Service menu.

Note

Do not confuse this with the Talk+DIM auto function previously described. Talk+DIM affects the
speaker or headphones on other keypanels when a particular talk key is activated on this
keypanel. Speaker DIM affects the speaker or headphone level on this keypanel when any talk
key on this keypanel is activated.

Operation of Intercom Keys assigned to TIF Ports

If an intercom key is assigned to talk to an intercom port that is designated as a TIF port in
ADAMedit, placing the key in the talk position will activate the KP-32 dialing menu. See
"TELEPHONE OPERATION" for further information.

Note

You designate an intercom port as a TIF port by checking the "Port is TIF" check box in
ADAMedit. (In ADAMedit, click the "KP" button on the toolbar to access Keypanels / Ports
setup, then select the intercom port where the TIF s connected, then click the "Edit" button, then

3-5

click the "Advanced" tab. Place a check next to "Port is TIF". Remember to send the change to the
intercom system.)

Muting the Microphone

Tap the MUTE key to turn microphone muting on or off.

The Vol. Sel. display alternates between

Hdst

and

Mute

(or between

Spkr

and

Mute

) while the

microphone is muted.

Note

While muting is on, you cannot be heard on the intercom, or by anyone on the telephone, or by
any device connected to the mic preamp output of the optional connector module.

Call Waiting Operation

Occasionally, a keypanel may call, and there won't be a key assigned to talk back to that caller. In
this case, the caller's name will appear in the Call waiting window. Press down and hold the Call
waiting key to talk back.

To clear a name from the Call waiting window, tap "up" on the Call waiting key.

If a second call is received in the Call waiting window while a caller name is already displayed,
the Call waiting LED will flash red. To answer the second call, tap "up" to clear the first name,
then hold the key down to talk to the second caller.

Note

By default, only the names of callers who are not currently assigned to intercom keys will appear
in the Call waiting window. Alternatively, you can force all caller names to display in the Call
waiting window. This is controlled either by DIP switch 2 on the ADAM Master Controller card
or by the ADAMedit check box titled "Always stack callers in call waiting window". (ADAMedit
Options menu, Intercom Configuration, Options tab. Note: the setting in ADAMedit overrides the
DIP switch 2 setting on the Master Controller card.) If your intercom system has mostly
keypanels with alphanumeric displays, we recommend that you do not stack all callers in the Call
waiting window.

Receiving A Phone Call

When there is an incoming telephone call, the talk LED will flash red next to the KP-32 key that
is assigned to the TIF. Activate the key to answer the call.

Note

The red flash for incoming TIF call is the default operation. Alternatively, a continuous-red talk
LED indication can be provided. This is accomplished by checking the check box "Don't generate
tallies for TIF or trunk use" in ADAMedit (Options menu, Intercom Configuration, Options tab).
Note that this check box also affects other tally indications. For further information, press the F1
key while viewing the ADAMedit Options tab settings. Under the topic "Don't generate tallies for
TIF or trunk use" click on the "see table" link to view a table containing information about
operation with and without tally indications.

KP9X Redial Sequence

Note

The last dialed phone number is always stored at the TIF and over-writes any previously dialed
phone number. If several people have access to the TIF, redial may not produce the results that
you expect!

1 Tap the PHONE key to activate dialing mode.

2 Tap "up" on the TIF key to activate listen.

KP9X Autodial Sequences

Note

Unlike the autodial operations using the KP-32 menu system, which store telephone numbers
locally within the KP-32, the KP9X autodial operations work with telephone numbers that are
stored at the TIF-951. The advantage to saving at the TIF-951 is that many users can access a
common set of stored telephone numbers. A disadvantage is that users can easily over-write
important telephone numbers. Also, telephone numbers at the TIF-951 are stored in volatile
memory and will be lost if the TIF-951 loses power.

Storing an Autodial Number in the TIF-951

1 Tap the PHONE key.

2 Tap the TIF talk key to latch it on.

3 Using the number keys on the keypad, dial the phone number that you want to store. The entire

phone number sequence can have up to 30 digits.

Note

To insert one or more pauses anywhere in the dialing sequence, enter CLR CLR 9 9 for each
pause. A pause may be required, for example, if you need to enter a digit to get an outside line and
your phone system requires a pause before continuing to dial. If you are using credit card dialing,
several pauses may also be required between the phone number and your personal access code.

4 After dialing the telephone number, click CLR PGM, then enter a two-digit number (01, 02,

etc. up to 32) that you will use as the autodial number.

5 After storing the autodial number, hang up using the KP9X hang-up sequence.
