Introducing the TKP-7000
Thanks for purchasing URC's TKP-7000 in-wall touch-screen. Its easy,
intuitive use will help simplify your life while adding control of more
things than you thought possible.
Enjoy some key features like:
Rooms Menu
With the touch of a single button, take control of your domain.
Besides the ability to temporarily link the different rooms/areas of your
system for music listening, the Rooms Menu offers a snapshot of “what's
going on” in every room of your Total Control system. Better yet, tapping
on a room will convert your keypad into a controller for THAT room.
See how easy it is to keep track of what's happening in your world…
and control it!
Shortcuts Pop-Up
With all of the different options to choose from, the Shortcut PopUp allows you to save some of the most common devices/activities
for easy selection. Keep up to 6 different activities at your fingertips
with the Shortcuts Pop-Up menu.

Capacitive Touch screen
Navigation just became easier; it's as simple as a “swipe” or “flick”.
By incorporating gesture control, every screen can be explored by
simple finger swipes while the on-board accelerometer supports
flicking.
Time & Weather Module
A simple button press opens the Time & Weather Module; a full
screen display keeping you “up to date” with today's time, date and
weather conditions.

Installing the TKP-7000
The TKP-7000 is wall-mountable and fits easily into a dual-gang
opening. Prior to installation, make sure power is available at the
preferred location.
Power can be supplied to the TKP-7000 in any of the following
ways:
= An Ethernet cable connected to a PoE (power over ethernet)
router/switch
= An Ethernet cable connected to a PoE (power over ethernet)
injector
Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to pass
electrical power safely, along with data, on Ethernet cabling. The
IEEE standard for PoE requires Category 5 cable or higher for high
power levels.

Main Menu Navigation
Although specific screen design and certain options will be dictated
by the custom integrator that programmed the Total Control System,
the general layout will remain the same. Actual navigation is performed
through screen swipes (Up/Down, Left/Right) while selecting any item
is as simple as pressing the icon/text to be selected.
The MAIN menu screen may be programmed any number of ways,
however, the general layout will remain the same

Title Bar
The Title Bar will be present on all TKP-7000 screens and contains
valuable information during normal use. Easily find out the time,
weather, now playing information and the room that the keypad is
controlling.
Time & Weather
This data, found on the left-hand side of the Title Bar will show the
current time, date and weather information. Pressing this area of the
Title Bar will open the Time & Weather Module. For more
information about this module, refer to the Time & Weather Module
section, later in this manual.
Current Room
The current room portion of the Title Bar shows the room that the
TKP-7000 is controlling. Remember, in a Total Control system,
although each room's keypad will default to control the room in
which it is placed, using the Rooms Menu will allow it to control
any other room in the your system.

Now Playing
Appearing on the right-hand side of the Title Bar, this displays the
source that is currently being used in the room that the keypad is
controlling.
• The Now Playing display will show the device that is being used
(in this case, William's iPod), associated artwork, and metadata
information is displayed since it is a URC media device.
The metadata will change, every 5 seconds, rotating
between song, artist and album.
• If an activity is being performed (like DVD or Cable) in the
selected room, the Now Playing section will display the activity.
If an activity is being performed in the selected room, the Now
Playing bar will describe the activity.

Categories/Devices Ribbon
This ribbon will show the various categories of control that are
available to the selected room. The quantity of categories is
determined by the system setup and can vary from one to however
many categories were programmed by the system designer.
Although only seven categories can fit on the screen at any moment,
navigate to other categories, if available, by swiping left or right.
Select a category by pressing the appropriate icon; this reveals the
devices/activities available for that category (submenus).
Device List
Submenus contain the devices/activities that were placed in the chosen
category by the system programmer.
Scroll up or down through the list by swiping upwards or downwards,
select a device/activity by pressing its icon.

Status Bar
The Status Bar, located directly above the Core Buttons, provides
valuable status and feedback of the Total Control system.
The four sections of the Status Bar are determined by the system
programmer, and are customizable per keypad,so it is not possible
to explain how your keypad looks; however, after reviewing the
following possibilities, there should be no need for further explanation.
Sunrise Time: Updated at midnight every day, this will show the
sunrise time for the next day.
Sunset Time: Updated at midnight every day, this will show the
sunset time for the next day.
URC Thermostat Temperature: If a THZ-100 (URC's thermostat) is
included in your home, this will show the current temperature status
based upon the internal sensor, additional sensor or the mean
temperature of both.
Alarm Clock: If the room being controlled has an Alarm that is set
to activate for that room the status bar will display an alarm clock
icon and the next scheduled time/day.
Surround Mode: When used with URC's DMS-AV Surround Processor
this will display the current surround mode of the processor.
Room Linked Status: Whenever the chosen room/area is “linked” to
other rooms, this will show a link
acknowledgment and icon.
Weather Alerts: Based on the current location entered by the system
programmer, the words “weather Alert” will appear
if an automatic alert is received via internet.
Vacation Mode: Whenever the Vacation Mode is activated for the
Total Control system, the status bar will display “Vacation Mode:
ON”.
