CK1.2 Keypad Features and Benefits
Automation Everywhere!
Keypads Automate the Central System with Local TVs and Components
The CK1.2 keypad can accommodate control of up to twenty devices with four pages of custom labeled but-
tons per device. Each button can be programmed with a single IR command (pre-programmed from the data-
base or learned) or it can be programmed with a macro of up to 190 steps (steps can include IR commands,
delays of .1 to 99.9 seconds, and jumps to another page). A vast database of more than one thousand brands
instantly programs IR Codes for most products. B&K Batch Learning does the rest in a fraction of the time of
any other system. The CK1.2 also features RS-232 status feedback and input syncing for the zone in which it
is operating. Macros can be programmed using the fastest macro programming method available, simply
click on the button to make it a macro step. Once one keypad is programmed, the rest can be cloned by sim-
ply downloading to each keypad. Each keypad stores its program on an EEPROM so even if the power is
lost, the memory is good for up to 10 years.
Point Any Remote Control at the Keypad
The integrated IR pass-through sends the commands of any IR remote control to both locally installed com-
ponents and the central system. If your client wants to use a remote control in any room, they can simply
point it at the B&K keypad.
Status Feedback to Keypads
RS-232 feedback from the CT Reciever to the keypads will keep the keypads in synchronization with the
source that is selected. The keypad will stay in sync with the source that is selected, regardless of how it was
selected (by a remote control, the front panel controls or the keypad itself). The keypads will also display
zone status when the backlight button is pressed. Status feedback includes zone radio station or input name,
volume, bass, treble and loudness levels. Additionally a 12VDC status signal lights up the Green Status LED
whenever the zone is on.
Multiple Keypads In One Zone
Keypads can be used in a daisy chain application to accommodate up to 6 keypads per hardware zone. Any
keypad has the ability to control any zone regardless of whether it is daisy chained (slaved) off another key-
pad. Slaved keypads are perfect for large rooms that require user interface at both ends. Keypads have suc-
cessfully been tested up to 1000ft using CAT5-E cable.
