The CK2.2 and B&K Home Theater
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 inter-
connecting family room, kitchen, dining areas) you may opt to expand a
zone to include several rooms. Each room can have it’s own keypad.
Many keypads can be connected by a daisy chain configuration in any
zone. Daisy chained keypads can also operate as an independent zone
keypads if desired. Status feedback and power LED 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 keypads SLAVE (OUT) connect to the Slave keypad’s
MASTER (IN). You can continue to daisy chain as many keypads as
necessary. However, keep in mind that each keypad consumes 75mA of
power. See page 3 for more information on Total Power Consumption.
The CK 2.2 can be easily programmed with the commands for all remote
controlled B&K receivers and preamps. The CK2.2 can be directly con-
nected to the Home Theater product to integrate easily for second zone
or IR source control. When using the CK2.2 with B&K Home Theater
products, zone status will display the same way when the keypad is used
with CT Multi-Zone products.The CK2.2 keypad can be used separately
or be coupled with another keypad, including the CK1.1. Up to two key-
pads can be directly connected to the the RJ-45 connection on the Home
Theater product. If additional keypads are required, an additional 12VCD
power supply must be used.
Note: Not all features are applicable when keypad (s) are used in systems other than B&K.
