KP-4000 NETWORK KEYPAD

Introduction

The KP-4000 is a Network Keypad with the ability to control audio
video components, energy management devices, multizone matrixes,
PCs and iPods and whole house URC Lighting. MAC addressing gives
you the ability to use an unlimited amount of KP-4000’s and allows
the control of many identical components as needed throughout the
house.

3. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to
the Infrared sensors on the front
panels of your client’s compo­nents. The Flashers relay com­mands to components. The flash­ers plug in to the MRX-1 rear
flasher line outputs via their 10
foot cables. The MRX-1can also
connect to components with rear
panel IR Inputs via its adjustable
IR Line Outputs.

2. The MRX-1 receives com­mands from the Network then
controls IR, RS-232 and Relay
controlled components.

1. The KP-4000 communicates over IP with IP controlled
components and the URC MRX-1 Network Base Station.

Features and Benefits

2-Way IP and RS-232 Home Theater AVRS

Via the unique URC 2-Way database, installers can drag and drop
2-Way pre-programmed modules into any KP-4000 for multi-zone
receivers with either IP or via the MRX-1, RS-232 control.

2-Way IP Control of Media on PCs and iPods

The high speed of the LAN enables the KP-4000 to display lists of
artists, albums or songs and to display the cover art of the selected
album on the Now Playing screen of the remote control from the
PSX-2 Personal Server or from a PC.

User Configurable Internet RSS for News, Sports, Stocks and
Weather

The well known URC modules for News, Sports, Weather and
Stocks are all available updated to the KP-4000 screen and of
course, are completely user set.

User set Scenes for URC Lighting via RFTX-1

Your client can fully control the lighting in their home without
expensive black boxes and exotic wiring. A lighting system can be
as simple as a single URC RF lamp dimmer on a lamp that they’d
love to control without getting out of a chair.The KP-4000’s optional
RFTX-1 transmitter directly controls URC RF Dimmers and
Switches. Your client can brighten, dim, and recall scenes, and they
can store new scenes whenever they like, without a PC or a pro­grammer. They simply manually adjust each dimmer to the new set­ting, then press and hold a scene button on their KP-4000 (just like
storing radio stations in a car radio!).

Local Control via RFTX-1 & MRF Base Station

Via an optional RFTX-1 transmitter, low cost wireless control of a
local stack of components can be done via a standard MSC-400,
MRF-350 or MRF-260.

Parts Guide

The KP-4000 Network Keypad includes:

1 - KP-4000 Network Base Station
1 - Owner’s Manual
4 - Screws for mounting to a wall box

Network Requirements and Power Options

The KP-4000 must be connected to the same Local Area Network as
the MRX-1 to function correctly. Additionally, in order for your
client to enjoy internet features such as RSS feeds, the Local Area
Network must be connected to the Internet.

You have three options to power the KP-4000. The KP-4000 is a PoE
(power over ethernet) device and can be powered as shown by
either a PoE switch or a PoE injector (PoE injectors may be separate­ly ordered from URC). This has the advantage that a single CAT 5
cable to the KP-4000 supplies all connections needed!

However, should you be installing a KP-4000 in a system where it is
convenient to run an additional two conductor wire to the KP-4000
for power, you may power a KP-4000 from any 12V wall adapter
with a 1 amp rating (12v wall adapters may be separately ordered
from URC).

Option 1: PoE Switch

1. Connect the CAT 5 cable (RJ45) to the LAN connection on the
rear of the KP-4000.

2. Plug the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the PoE switch (not
included), which will power the KP-4000 and ensure that the
PoE switch is properly configured and connected to the Router.

of the KP-4000 and plug the other end into the Router.

Option 3: No PoE: 12 Volt Power Supply

1. Connect the CAT 5 cable (RJ45) to the LAN connection on the
rear of the KP-4000.

Installation Notes

MAC Address Labels/Reset Button

The KP-4000 has a magnetic cover, simply pull it away from the
keypad’s main body to remove.

Reset Button: Press this button to reset the keypad.

MAC address Labels: Tear off the 2nd label and stick it to your Job
Documentation indicating which room the KP-4000 is installed.
You’ll need the MAC address when you program the KP-4000.

Connections

In most installations, you will power the KP-4000
via a single CAT 5 cable connected to the network.
The KP-4000 is PoE, so you can power it from either
a PoE power injector or any PoE switch.

LAN PoE RJ-45: Plug an Ethernet RJ45 cable into a PoE switch or
PoE injector (available via the URC Toolbox) to power the KP-4000
or directly connect to a LAN Router if a Power Adapter has been
connected.
