User manual HARMAN KARDON KP 1

[. . . ] KP 1 In-Wall Keypad Introduction Congratulations!As the owner of a KP 1 in-wall keypad, you own an accessory that adds convenience and versatility to your home audio system by providing independent control in each room or zone powered by a Harman Kardon PA 4000 multichannel power amplifier. The elegant, threebutton design offers power on/off and volume control and is prewired to accept an optional infrared (IR) sensor to allow remote control of virtually any device equipped with a remote IR input. The KP 1 uses an optional Decora®-style cover plate for coordination with other wall-mounted switches. [. . . ] Looking at the connector with its clip down and the wires coming out of the connector toward you, numbered from left to right, the typical pin assignments are as shown in Wiring Chart 1 and Figure 1.

TM Mounting Screw Slots ­ Use the supplied machine screws to attach the KP 1 to an electrical junction box or plaster ring using these slots. £ RJ-45 Connector ­ Insert one end of the RJ-45 connector for the cable connecting the KP 1 to the PA 4000 into this left-facing jack. When the other end of the cable is plugged into the appropriate jack on the PA 4000, the cable carries control signals generated by the KP 1 and the signals received by the optional IR sensor to the PA 4000, and a +12 Volt power supply from the PA 4000 that powers the optional IR sensor, when installed. ¢ 3-Pin IR Sensor Terminal Block ­ When installing an optional IR sensor, connect it to the appropriate terminals. Connect the sensor's three conductors to the Ground, IR Signal Output and +12V DC terminals by slightly unscrewing each of the set screws shown, inserting the bare wire end into the downward-facing hole under the set screw, then tightening the set screw. The terminal block is internally connected to the RJ-45 Connector £. IR Sensor Cutout ­ If you will be installing an optional IR sensor, punch out this cutout. See the detailed installation instructions in the next section. Wiring Chart 1 12345678 Figure 1 Either the striped or solid color standards may be used, depending on the type of cable being installed. Make certain that the same color wire is connected to the same pin number at each end of the wire. Make sure that the twisted pairs of wires consist of those attached to pins 1 and 2, pins 3 and 6, pins 4 and 5, and pins 7 and 8. When attaching the connectors to each end of the cable, strip the outer insulation jacket about 1-1/2" to 2" from the end. The cable is constructed of four twisted pairs of wires. Flatten the wire ends to prepare them for insertion into the connector. Then trim the wire ends to approximately 1/2" in order to leave as little untwisted wire as possible. Fully insert the wire into the connector. Carefully crimp the connector in accordance with the connector manufacturer's instructions, making sure that each wire is securely fastened in the connector and that no insulation is caught in the connector. If using stranded conductors, make sure that there are no loose strands. Before making any connections to the PA 4000, be certain that it has been turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet. Home-run the cable from the KP 1 to the PA 4000. Insert the RJ-45 connector on the cable into the RJ-45 Connector £ on the back of the KP 1 until it clicks into place. [. . . ] The KP 1 allows you to set or reset the volume level limit from the remote location. Two people are needed to complete this procedure, as adjustments must be made to the KP 1 and PA 4000 at the same time. With source material playing, move the Power Control Mode Switch g for the channel being adjusted to the middle "MUSIC SENSE" position. Use the KP 1 in the remote room to set the volume level to the desired turn-on volume limit ­ that is, the loudest desired turn-on level ­ by holding down the Power Button 3 while simultaneously adjusting the Volume Controls 4.
