RCS GRAPHICAL KEYPAD

COMMSTAR COMPATIBLE MULTI MENU KEYPAD

The RCKPG8 is a versatile, easy-to-use, menu-driven keypad that allows control of lighting, heating/cooling, security, home theater, audio/video, pool/spa, irrigation and other systems connected to the NCU programmable controller. Up to 96 interactive menu screens can be created and downloaded to the KPG-8 by the user/installer using the RCCS30/308 or RCCS48 controllers and the Event Manager software. Each menu line (up to 8 per menu) can consist of text (up to 10 letters across) or bitmapped graphics (.bmp format, 64 x 16 pixels).

8 Dual-Position Rocker Buttons, located to the right of the menu display, can be individually programmed to perform different functions depending on the menu selected. The Left and Right side of each button can be programmed independently (such as left = off, right = on) or perform the same function (such as go to Main menu). Programmable functions include: Navigational functions (go to menu, previous menu), Then Actions (X-10, IR, Relay, Macro, Flag, Variable) and Predefined Menus (Thermostat, TimeLabel, Keypad, Time Display). A special two-way X-10 feature allows any X-10 address to be assigned to a rocker button. Pressing once on the right or left side of the button turns the X-10 device On or Off. Holding down the right or left side of the button Brightens or Dims. On/Off status is indicated by a normal (Off) or reversed (On) background on the associated menu line for easy viewing, even from a distance.

Individual menu screens or complete setups can be downloaded to keypads via the shared RCRS485 connection or stored on disk as templates and later loaded to keypads as needed. Menu line items can be cut, copied and pasted from any menu to another for easy editing. Keypads can also be programmed and edited remotely via modem.

Three LED's (red, green and yellow), located above the rocker keys, can be individually programmed to turn off, turn on steady or blink based on any condition(s). For example, the Red LED could display status of a connected security system (on = armed, off = disarmed, blink slow = exit delay, blink fast = violated).

The RCKPG8 has a built-in high-contrast green backlight that can be programmed to stay on continuously or turn on with any key press then time out after a specified delay time. The backlight and menu selections can also be accessed via the Event Manager schedule to allow dynamic interaction with other system functions. A nighttime event in your schedule can turn off the backlight on your bedroom keypad during sleeping hours and back on at wake-up time. Reminder messages such as "TAKE OUT THE TRASH" or "DOCTOR APPT AT 4PM" can also be triggered by your schedule and displayed on the appropriate keypad(s).

The KPG-8 faceplate measures 4"W x 4 3/4"H and snaps into an included wall-mount enclosure (3 3/8"W x 4"H x 2"D) for easy installation.
