2INSTALLATION
2.1GENERAL
Installation consists of the following general steps:
1.Unpack and inspect the equipment.
2.Check that the factory default jumper positions and
level settings are appropriate for your application and
make any required changes. (The defaults are
virtually always acceptable.)
3.Set the back panel DIP switches.
4.Mount the keypanel and any accessories in an
equipment rack or bay.
8 Installation Instructions, KP98-7 Keypanel
5.Connect the keypanel and any accessories.
6.Power up the equipment and check operation.
7.Program the keypanel using the intercom system
configuration software (ADAMedit or ZEUSedit).
Some aspects of keypanel setup, such as key
assignment, may also be performed from the
keypanel using the programming keypad. Refer to the
“Advanced Operation” information in the KP98-7
Operating Instructions Manual.
8.Place the keypanel in service. If the keypanel keys
have been assigned prior to placing the keypanel in
service, the station operator should only need to refer
to the “Basic Operation” information in the KP98-7
Operating Instructions Manual.
2.2UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Table 1. DIP Switch Summary
As soon as possible after receipt, inspect the container(s)
and contents for physical damage that may have occurred
in shipping. If damage has occurred, immediately (within
24 hours of receipt of equipment) contact the carrier involved and file a claim. Save all packing materials, and
request an immediate inspection by the carrier’s insurance
claims agent.
There should be one power cord for each KP98-7 and one
gooseneck microphone for each KP98-7 ordered with a
microphone. There should be one power cord and one interconnect cable for each EKP98-0 Expansion Panel and
LCP-100A Level Control Panel.
For information about returns to RTS, refer to the
☞
front of this manual.
2.3CHECKING THE FACTORY JUMPER AND
LEVEL SETTINGS
There are several internal jumpers and level adjustments
which can be changed to modify the keypanel operation
and audio input/output levels. These have been set to meet
the requirements of most typical situations. However, if
you wish to review these settings prior to installation, refer to “Electrical Adjustments”, page 14.
2.4DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
The DIP switches are located on the back of the KP98-7
keypanel. The switch settings are summarized in Table 1
and are described in the following paragraphs.

keypanel operator is able to conclude that the flashing indication is not an incoming call.
EKP98-0 expansion panels connected to the KP98-7 are a
different matter, however, since they use illuminated buttons without alphanumeric displays and cannot display
names. In this case the keypanel operator can only distinguish between an in-use indication and an incoming call
indication by the speed of the button flash. If this creates
confusion, disable the flashing in-use indication by setting
DIP switch 2 to the “closed” position.
Important: Any time you change the DIP switch
☞
settings you must turn the power off-then-on to reset.
2.4.1Talk Key Row Selection
You can select whether you want the talk keys to use the
top row (above the displays) or the bottom row. See DIP
switch 1 settings.
2.4.2Expansion Panel In-use Indication for IFB
and ISO
The KP98-7 provides a flashing display indication when
an IFB or ISO is in-use by another keypanel. Generally,
the keypanel operator can distinguish this from an incoming call for two reasons: first, the flashing indication is
slower than an incoming call indication; second, an IFB
or ISO will generally have a distinctive name, and since
calls are not normally received from an IFB or ISO, the
2.4.3LCP Selection
If a level control panel will be connected for use with the
KP98-7, set DIP switch 3 to the “Closed” position. Otherwise, leave this switch in the “Open” position.
2.4.4Logical Keypanel Address Selection
DIP switches 4-7 set the logical keypanel address, which
uniquely identifies the keypanel in the intercom system.
Zeus Intercom Systems: The logical keypanel addresses
are the numbers 1 through 8 printed on the back panel of
the Zeus frame next to the keypanel connectors. (The
number s repeat for every group of 8 connectors.) As you
connect each keypanel to a connector, use the number
printed next to that connector to set the address. For example, if you connect a keypanel to a connector numbered
1, refer to Table 1
and set DIP switches 4 through 7 to se-
lect address 1.
Installation Instructions, KP98-7 Keypanel 9
ADAM CS Intercom Systems: Use the appropriate planning worksheet in the ADAM CS Installation Manual.
(Refer to the List of Tables in the front of the manual. The
planning worksheets are listed at the bottom of the List of
Tables.)
ADAM CS with RJ-11 or DB-9 back panel: You
•
can determine the correct logical keypanel address
from the worksheet in either of two ways: 1) If you
know the port number that a keypanel will be
connected to, look up the port number in the
worksheet, then read across to the appropriate logical
keypanel number for that port number. 2) If you
know the connector number (on the back of the
ADAM CS frame) that the keypanel will be
connected to, look up that connector number in the
worksheet, then read across to the appropriate logical
keypanel number.
2.5MOUNTING THE KEYPANEL AND
ACCESSORIES
Keypanels, expansion panels and level control panels may
be mounted in any industry standard 483 mm (19") wide
equipment rack or equipment bay. For all panels, allow an
additional 2 to 3 inches in back for cables and connectors.
No special tools other than those found in a typical tool
kit are required for mounting. The panels have no special
ventilation requirements.
For ease of use, when positioning the panels it may help
to locate each level control panel directly above or below
the keypanel or expansion panel that it will be used with.
Otherwise, you will have to label each LCP control knob
according to the key assignment alphas on the keypanel or
expansion panel.
2.6STANDARD CONNECTIONS
Once you have determined the correct logical
keypanel number, refer to Table 1
switches 4 through 7 to set this as the address.
ADAM CS frame with 50-pin Telco back panel:
•
You can determine the correct logical keypanel
address from the worksheet in either of two ways: 1)
If you know the port number that a keypanel will be
connected to, look up the port number in the
worksheet, then read across to the appropriate logical
keypanel number for that port number. 2) If you
know the connector numbers and pin numbers that
the keypanel will be connected to, look up these
numbers in the worksheet, then read across to the
appropriate logical keypanel number.
Once you have determined the correct logical
keypanel number, refer to Table 1
switches 4 through 7 to set this as the address.
ADAM Intercom Systems: To set the address, first refer
to Table 8, page 20, and locate the intercom port number
to which the keypanel will be connected. Then, read
across to the “Address” column to find the logical keypanel address (it will always be a number between 1 and
8). Finally, refer to Table 1 and set the DIP switches to
this address number.

2.6.1Gooseneck Microphone
If you ordered the KP98-7 with a gooseneck microphone,
screw the microphone into the panel microphone jack on
the front panel.
2.6.2Front Panel Headset
The front panel headset jack accepts a monaural,
dynamic-microphone headset. Headphone impedance
should be 8 to 400 ohms. Nominal microphone output
should be -60 dBm, 150 ohms.
Use either a 9-pin or RJ-11 intercom cable (but not both)
to connect to the intercom system. You can use a prefabricated cable, or construct a cable using the wiring diagram
in Figure 4
P11 connector on the back panel of the KP98-7. Plug the
other end into the appropriate port of the intercom system.

2.7.6MIC PRE OUT Connector
This connector provides a balanced mic output signal of
+8 dBu at 60 ohms. As supplied, the MIC PRE OUT signal is activated only when any Talk key is on. If you want
this output to be on continuously, you must reset internal
jumper J403 (see "Internal Jumpers", page 14
).
AMP OUT + and - : These terminals provide the keypanel audio amplifier output signal to drive an 8-ohm, 3watt speaker. As supplied from the factory, jumpers connect these terminals to the SPKR IN + and - terminals.
Remove these jumpers only if the keypanel audio output
is to be redirected to an external speaker.
SPKR IN + and - : These terminals connect to the internal speaker.
EXT MUTE: This terminal may be used to drive an external device at no greater than 2 mA sinking current. Its
normal logic state is low (0 Vdc). It shifts to logic high
(+5Vdc) when any Talk key is pressed. This signal may
be used, for example, to mute a monitor speaker when the
keypanel operator is talking on the intercom system.

2.8POWER-UP AND OPERATIONAL CHECK
3ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
Plug in the ac power cords on the keypanel and any connected expansion panels. When power is applied, all alphanumeric displays will first display asterisks (****)
then dashes (----). After a few moments, the Talk key assignments will display. If no Talk key assignments have
yet been programmed, the displays will continue to show
dashes (----).
If the keypanel cannot establish data communications
with the intercom system, the alphanumeric displays will
continue to show asterisks (****). Check the data line
connections.
Several symptoms may occur if the logical keypanel
number is incorrectly set: 1) the keypanel may not display
the expected key assignments; 2) there may be no indication when there is an incoming call; 3) when a key is
pressed to talk, the destination may not hear the audio, or
may hear audio from a different intercom station; 4) the
displays may behave erratically. If any of these symptoms
occur, recheck the logical keypanel number DIP switches.
Important! Always reset the keypanel after changing
☞
the DIP switch settings. Do this by briefly removing
power to the keypanel.
2.9KEYPANEL PROGRAMMING
If you previously configured the keypanel using the intercom system configuration software, it should be ready for
operation. Refer the station operator to the “Basic Operation” instructions in the KP98-7 Operating Instructions
Manual.
3.1INTERNAL JUMPERS
There are several internal jumpers which modify keypanel
operation. The jumpers are set for the following default
operations:
J201: The EXT LINE IN signal (KP-96-RC option only)
is muted when any Talk key is pressed. May be optionally
set for no mute.
J202: The speaker (or headphones) are muted by 15 dB
when any Talk key is pressed. May be optionally set to
full mute.
J203: Continuous sidetone. When using a headset, the
keypanel operators own voice will be heard at all times in
the headphones. May be optionally set for sidetone only
during talk.
J401: The microphone activates when any Talk key is
pressed. May be optionally set for continuous microphone.
J402: Normal/test switch set for normal operation.
J403: The MIC PRE OUT signal (KP-96-RC option only)
is activated only when any Talk key is pressed. May be
optionally set for continuous operation.
J404-J406: The keypanel is configured for operation with
the standard dynamic, -70dB, 150-ohm gooseneck microphone. May be optionally configured for other microphone types.
If the keypanel has not yet been configured you can do so
now. Run the ADAMedit or Zeus-edit configuration software. By default, the configuration software starts up in
the “Keypanels / Ports” setup screen. For assistance with
keypanel setup, press the F1 key on the computer while
viewing that screen. Once you have configured the keypanel as instructed and sent the changes to the intercom
system, the keypanel should be ready for operation. Refer
the station operator to the “Basic Operation” instructions
in the KP98-7 Operating Instructions Manual.
This completes the standard installation procedures.

2 and 3 are shorted, the signal is muted by 15 dB when
any Talk keys are pressed.
3.1.3J203 (SIDETONE MUTING)
When pins 1 and 2 are shorted, the sidetone signal is always on. When pins 2 and 3 are shorted, the sidetone signal is on only when a Talk key is pressed.
3.2AUDIO LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
3.2.1GENERAL
The following paragraphs describe the procedures to calibrate the output level to the factory standard of +8 dBu. If
a different level is required, substitute that level for +8
dBu.
3.1.4J401 (OUTPUT ENABLE)
When the jumper is installed, the microphone is on only
when any Talk key is pressed. When the jumper is removed, the microphone will always be on.
3.1.5J402 (BALANCE TEST)
For normal operation, there should be no jumper installed.
This jumper is used when adjusting the keypanel audio
levels. See “Balance Adjustment”, page 17
3.1.6J403 (PREAMP OUT)
This jumper is only significant in keypanels that have the
KP-96-RC Rear Connector Plate option installed. When
pins 1 and 2 are shorted, the mic signal at the MIC PRE
OUT connector is switched on and off by the Talk keys.
When pins 2 and 3 are shorted, the mic signal at the MIC
PRE OUT connector is always on.
3.1.7J404-J406 (PANEL MIC SELECTION)
These jumpers work together to configure the panel microphone preamp for various types of microphones as follows:
2-Wire Electret:
J404Pins 1 and 2 shorted
J405No jumper
J406No jumper
.
Most audio level trimmers are accessible through access
holes on the back of the keypanel. Each trimmer access
hole is labeled with its function. Some trimmers are internal, and can only be accessed with the top cover removed.
Locations of trimmers are shown in Figure .8
Audio levels may be adjusted with the panel disconnected
from the intercom system. However, proper operation
should be confirmed when the panel is reconnected. If
levels change after reconnection, check the intercom system wiring for one-sided shorts to ground, wiring errors,
or unintended terminations.
The following procedures make use of the additional connectors available on the KP-96-RC Rear Connector Plate
option. Connector pin-outs for these connectors were presented earlier in this section. If the keypanel under adjustment does not have these connectors, refer to drawing
number IKP-950/2-5 (in the Keypanel Drawings and Parts
Manual). The IKP-950/2-5 drawing shows equivalent locations where test equipment may be connected.
Required test equipment:
Audio Signal Generator with balanced output
Audio Signal Analyzer with balanced input
DC Millivoltmeter
Oscilloscope - any commercially available type
3-Wire Electret:
J404No jumper
J405No jumper
J406No jumper
