Page 20: Source Selection
Source selection [Root –> (#3) -> Source selection] CATS-KP™ keypad allows up to 18 sources to be configured and labeled. Sources 1 and 2 belong to the local (target) CATS™ receiver which the keypad has been configured to control. Source #1 corresponds to the Local Main input and source #2 to the Local Aux input. Sources 3 to 18 belong to remote transmitters. -
Page 21: Lighting Scenes
[Root –> (#4 short press) -> Lighting scenes] Figure 11: Lighting scenes screen The CATS-KP™ keypad allows for configuration of up to 4 lighting scenes, each consisting of up to 7 X10 commands issued sequentially. A typical mode would be the “I am home” scene when a series of light control commands may be issued in order to provide desired mood lighting. -

Page 24: Cats™ Setup
[Root –> (#5) (Long press) -> Utilities -> (#5) -> CATS Setup -> (#1) TX Setup] As described before, the CATS-KP™ keypad can control up to 18 audio/video sources (1 CATS™ receiver and up to 8 CATS™ transmitters). Each transmitter available to the keypad must be made known to the keypad by providing its network address. -
Page 25: Target Setup
Target Setup [Root –> (#5) (Long press) -> Utilities -> (#5) -> CATS Setup -> (#2) Target Setup] Similarly to transmitters’ addresses above, the receiver’s address must be made know to the keypad before it can “talk” to it. Although only 1 receiver’s address can be entered, several keypads can control the same receiver. -
Page 26: Keypad Address Setup
This will store the router’s output number to which the target receiver is connected in the keypad’s non-volatile memory. Please have your network diagram available at the time of entering to ensure that the entering number is correct. Please see the CATS™ User’s manuals for more information on the structure of the CATS™ network. -
Page 27: Keypad Setup
Clock/Calendar Setup [Root –> (#4 long press) -> Keypad Setup -> #1 -> Clock/Calendar Setup] The CATS-KP™ keypad has a real-time clock/calendar which needs to be set before the keypad can be used properly. Buttons #3 and #4 will move the cursor left and right whereas buttons #1 and #2 will change the values. - Page 28 There are 28 scene components grouped in 4 scenes of 7 components each. In other words, components 01 – 07 belong to lighting scene #1, 08 – 14 to scene #2, 15 – 21 to scene #3, 22 – 28 to scene #4. IMPORTANT: Please remember that you must configure at least 1 scene’s component to include the scene in the list of available scenes.

Labels Setup [Root –> (#4 long press) -> Keypad Setup -> #3 -> Labels Setup] Figure 16: Labels menu Before labels are entered the keypad must know which kind of labels (Source or Scene) is being entered. Although the entering procedure is almost identical, the labels are stored in different part of the internal memory. -
