Connecting Slave Keypads
Each zone should have one CAT 5 cable home run to the CT Receiver.
When rooms interconnect and open to each other (for example: intercon-
necting family room, kitchen, dining areas are common in many homes) you
may opt to expand a zone to include several rooms. Each room can have
it’s own keypad. Many keypads can be connected in a daisy chain in any
zone. Daisy chained keypads can also operate as an independent zone
keypads if desired. Status feedback will reference the zone to which it is
connected, not the zone it is controlling.
The main system connects to the Master keypad via the MASTER [IN].
From the Master Keypad’s SLAVE[OUT] connect to the Slave keypad’s
MASTER [IN]. You can continue the daisy-chain to as many keypad’s as
you want. However, keep in mind that each keypad consumes 75mA of
power. See page 7 for more information on Total Power Consumption.
No Emitter Needed for B & K Receivers and Preamps
With the introduction of the AVR507 Series 2 and Reference 50 Series 2
theater processors, the CK1.2 and CK1.1 Keypads can connect directly to
the main RJ-45 (RS-232) jack on the back panel. B&K theater products can
support up to two keypads directly connected to the back panel. If addition-
al keypads are required, an additional 12VDC power supply must be added.
