The KP 6 is a contact closure remote for selecting the switcher’s input.
When a number key is pressed, the wire associated with that input is
momentarily shorted to ground, making the switcher switch to that
input.

Installation
Installation with a captive screw connector
Installation with a 9-pin D-sub connector
Some switchers, such as the MSW 4 Series, are not equipped with
9-pin D-sub connectors and have a 3.5mm, 5-pole captive screw
connector (labeled “Contact”) instead. In order to use the KP 6
Keypad Remote Control with these switchers, a captive screw
connector (included with the switcher) must be used. To use a captive
screw connector, the existing 9-pin D-sub connector must be removed
from the cable and a captive screw connector installed.
Many switchers, such as the SW6 VGA Ars Switcher, come equipped
with a 9-pin D-sub connector. To use the KP 6 Keypad Remote
Control on this type of switcher, install it as follows:
1.
2.
Power down the switcher.
Connect the KP 6 adapter’s 9-pin plug to the contact closure
connector on the switcher’s rear panel.
To install the captive screw connector, remove the wire from the 9-pin
D-sub connector, then strip the wires and insert them into the new
connector (supplied with the switcher). Wire the connector as shown
here. Tighten the screws to secure the wires. Clip off the green and
blue wires.
3.
4.
Position the KP 6 Keypad for the most convenient operation.
Power up the switcher.

Do not tin the stripped wire leads before installing the
captive screw connector. Tinned wires are not as secure
in the captive screw connectors and could pull out.
