You Need a Personal ComputerWith Serial Port
CKEditor will run on any Pentium II or fasterWindows PC. Your PC should be equipped with an adequate amount
of RAM for the operating system you use. CKEditor is compatible with theWindows 98,ME,2000, XP and XP Pro
operating systems.It is not compatible withWindows 95 or previous versions of windows. Note that many modern
laptops do not come equipped with a serial port. If there is no serial port, purchase a USB to Serial adapter.
Although many manufacturers supply adapters or hubs for this purpose, we can vouch for the
operation of Belkin and Keyspan hubs and adapters.
CKEditor is installed via a self extracting installer file downloadable from www.bkcomp.com. You need a connection
to the internet to download the file or to update CKEditor.
Close ALL ApplicationsThat Use Serial Ports - Use B&KTask Manager!
Although you may be using an adapter with multiple serial ports (or your PC may
be equipped with more than one),don’t use more than one at a time.Doing so
will overtask many system’s resources and cause errors and problems. B&K’sTask
Manager will only open CKEditor after you have closed BKcSuite or SR10.1 Remote Editor (and vice versa).
However,you must manually close such programs as Hotsync for the Palm Pilot and LapLink if they are running (right
click on any icons in the windows task bar representing these programs and exit them).
You Need an RS-232 Connecting Cable &Adapters As Necessary
B&K include a pre-made cable suitable for connecting a Serial port to the CK1.1 keypad.However, if this is lost or
misplaced here is the pin configuration for a serial cable:
DB 9 DB25 Function Stereo 3.5mm Plug Connection
Pin 3 Pin 2 HostTransmit ToTip
Pin 2 Pin 3 Host Receive To Middle Ring
Pin 5 Pin 7 Host Ground To Base Ring
KeepYour Database Up to Date — USE LIVE UPDATE
CKEditor includes a vast library of IRcodes for hundreds of brands and models ofA/V components.This database is
constantly growing with the inclusion of new devices every month. Keep your software up to date by using the Live
Update feature. Rather than un-installing and re-installing the software,you download updates to the software from
the internet.Simply follow these steps:
1 Connect to the Internet normally.
2 Open CKEditor
3 From the Help Menu, select Live Update
4 In the Live Update window,click on Update Now.
5 Wait for the window to indicate the download is
completed.Close theWindow.
6 Close and re-open CKeditor. You do not need to restartWindows.

CK1.1 Single Gang Keypad
The CK1.1 single gang keypad is a versatile and user friendly solution for whole house or home theater integration.
The CK1.1 can operate as a stand alone keypad or can be combined to operate in conjunction with CK1.2 Keypads
in any system. Up to 20 IR commands or macros can be programmed onto the four‘main’ pages provided by the
CK1.1. Five‘hard’ buttons provide control for volume and power. This will allow for simple zone or source control
from any room in the house. Additionally the CK1.1 provides an IR sensor on the front panel that will pass IR com-
mands from a remote control in the zone. Status feedback will display on the bottom most text line on the keypad
LCD. This feedback can be triggered to show the zone’s current volume,source,tuner station, bass,treble and loud-
ness levels.
The back panel provides two RJ-45 connectors,one master input and one slave output. The back panel also provides
an IR output for local IRcontrol directly from the keypad.
Two faceplate covers are provided with each CK1.1 keypad,white and beige. A primed paintable faceplate is available
from B&K.
ProgrammingTips and ideas
Programming the CK1.1 Keypad is based around concept of programming the CK1.2 Keypad. Most of the func-
tions and features that are available to the CK1.2 are also available to the CK1.1,however there are some excep-
tions. The main idea that should be stressed is to use the CK1.2 keypad editor portion as a "virtual scratchpad", or a
"junction" for the CK1.1 Keypad. All macros,learned functions,and/or all device commands must be created/record-
ed on the CK1.2 Keypad simulator. The functions are then“dragged” over to the image of the CK1.1. The same idea
also applies to the .ccf browser, when importing learned pronto hex codes. When saving files,no distinction is made
between CK1.2 files and CK1.1 files (all files carry the .mxf extension). Be sure to label the saved files appropriately.

CK1.1 Programming Overview
Start with a New File,Existing File on PC or in an Installed Keypad
To start from scratch on a new job,go to the File Menu,choose New from the File Menu and pick the type of tem-
plate you would like to use to program with. The B&K Default file has CT Receiver specific IRcommands pre-loaded
in.This is particularly useful for testing operation before any programming has begun.Typically,it is easiest to start
with an empty configuration. You can choose between a default CK1.1,default CK1.2 or Empty.
Load all devices onto the CK1.2 keypad simulator. For example, on the first "Main" page, create buttons for all
devices that you wish to control.This should include theA/V Receiver and/or any source gear to be controlled. All
devices or commands must be created on the CK1.2 simulator before being dragged over the CK1.1 simulator.
Program IR control for each device onto the CK1.2 simulator using the IR database/learning feature,etc. Learning
can be done through the CK1.1 or the CK1.2 IR eye. Create any macros you want displayed on the CK1.1 Keypad
on the CK1.2 simulator.
Finally,drag and drop commands/macros that you wish to display on the CK1.1. Keep in mind that there are a total
of 20 available “soft” buttons,and 5 “hard” buttons on the CK1.1 Keypad to program. Only drag and drop the most
important source control commands.
Use the Program Menu In Order
The Program Menu is your lifeline to a fast,easy programming experience.Simply start at
step one and work your way down the list. If you find yourself lost at any time, come
back to this menu to re-organize your thoughts.
Determine Device Layout for the CK1.1
Once the CK editor is installed,open the CKEditor and go to Program step #1,Create and Name Devices
(described in detail on the following pages).Create the names for the devices that will be used in the program. This
window is also known as the LCD button editor.

Programming Overview
Source Devices Created
In this example, the devices
correspond to the sources
being used in the CT system.
This master file will be used as
a starting point for every key-
pad.In the empty device spots
you may insert devices for local
TV’s etc.
In this example, all source con-
trol has been assigned to the
first page. The B&K IR code
set ID has been assigned to the
second page.

Use SAVEAS to Name and Save First!
Utilize Save As to make a new file with a new file name. Use the concept of a template to save time in the on
future projects. A template file is simply a configuration file that you have preprogrammed to be used later on. All
files are saved with the file extension .mxf; all exported device files are saved with the extension .mxd. Be sure to
label your files appropriately. The CKEditor does not make any distinction between keypads or remotes.
Save or ExportYourWork
Archive and save your customer files. In addition,you can export devices as .mxd files. Programming systems with
similar components gets even faster when you don’t have to redo your work over and over. You have your own ideas
about what buttons should be labeled and how they should be arranged. You’ll save all of your work in a unique and
time saving way by exporting the device stand alone.That way, you can import just the device in any new configuration.
Download to Each Keypad
Each keypad needs to have its program downloaded to it separately. If programming multiple keypads in a daisy
chain,be sure to program the first keypad in the chain first,and then the second so on. Otherwise error messages
will appear on the keypad screen.

Programming Overview
Adding Control
By clicking the <CK1.1>
selection at the bottom of the
device drop down,you are
able to create buttons directly
onto the CK1.1
In this example, source but-
tons have been created for
the first page. Source buttons
have been created on the
remaining pages. Jump com-
mands can be added to any
button. The jump commands
will execute as the last step of
a macro or after a single hit IR command. Pages can be hidden while still allowing page jumps to bring you
to any page. Commands for each button must be dragged and dropped onto the CK1.1 Keypad simulator.
See next page.
As there is no concept of "Devices" in the CK1.1 keypad,all commands must be
placed on the one of the four main pages.

The ProgrammingWindow
Menus and Shortcut buttons for common tasks. The Program Menu activates each task in the correct order.
The simulated view of the CK1.1 Keypad configuration. This view allows the programmer to drag and drop
information onto the CK1.1 keypad. There is also a tab here for the CK1.2 drop down tree.
The CK1.2 Keypad Simulator is used to navigate,select a button to learn to, create shortcuts or edit or
record a macro. Commands, macros and learned information will be created here,then moved to the CK1.1
simulator.
Edit and Label Buttons window is used to label buttons and move IR commands via shortcuts.
The Macro and Favorite window is used to view and edit macros.
The Hard Button window displays“Phantom” buttons that are useful for storing commands to be utilized in
macros.
The important thing to remember as you program is that mostWindows conventions hold true in CKEditor. Explore
the program menus.Hover your mouse over most of the buttons and controls and a balloon will appear with a hint
as to purpose.Navigate around the program window and explore a little before you begin programming.

Navigating and Selecting Buttons
This is the center of programming. Click on a button to SELECT it for programming.
When a button is SELECTED it has a green circle around it.Once a button is
SELECTED, you can use the Edit and Label ButtonsWindow or the MacroWindow
to program it.
1 When you want to switch to a new device, first, click on the MAIN button.
2 Choose the new device from the MAINMENU by double clicking on it.
On a real CK1.2 Keypad,the double click is not necessary.But within the
CKEditor you sometimes will want to program an LCD button on the MAIN
page and single clicking the button enables you to select it for editing or
macro programming.
3 Cycle through Pages 1 to 4 of any device by clicking on the PAGE button.
4 Navigate to the FAV device by clicking on the FAV button.
5 Hover your mouse over a button to see the drag and drop flag.
6 Click on a button to SELECT it.
Button Capabilities and Flags
A button with no flag will not do anything when pressed. It is empty and has no programming.
A red dot indicates that the button is programmed with an IR database code. An IR database code can be
tapped or pressed and held for a sustained burst. All buttons except the hard buttons within the MAIN
or FAV devices can be programmed with IR database codes (you cannot program the navigation buttons-
PAGE,MAIN or FAV either) .
An L flag indicates that the button is programmed with a learned IR code. A learned code can be tapped
or pressed and held for a sustained burst. All buttons can be programmed with learned codes (including
all MAIN buttons,hard and LCD) except the buttons on FAV pages and the navigation buttons themselves.
An M or F flag indicates that the button is programmed with a Macro (the F flag indicates the Macro is on
one of the Favorites pages).Only the LCD buttons buttons can be programmed with MACROS. Hard but-
tons cannot be programmed with MACROS directly (they can issue a macro, if you program the macro on
an LCD button and create a shortcut from the hard button to the LCD button). A macro with a single
step cannot be pressed and held for a sustained burst.The CK1.1 does not support macros on the hard
power ON or OFF buttons.
A black arrow on yellow indicates that the button is programmed with a shortcut to another button. A
shortcut programs the button to do whatever is programmed on the button the shortcut points to (thus
if a shortcut points to a learned or preprogrammed code,the button can be pressed and held for a sus-
tained burst;macros cannot be executed with a shortcut). FAV buttons cannot be programmed with
shortcuts.
A PT flag indicates that the button is programmed to “PunchThrough” to another device.
The drag and drop flag appears when you hover your mouse over a button. It will reveal the device and
the button label plus indicators for pre-programmed,learned,etc.

TreeView
Devices and Pages
TreeView controls what you see in the CK1.2 simulator. It serves as the quickest way to navigate (especially when
programming macros) and enables you to cut, copy and delete devices and/or pages via the right click context
menus.
A Page refers to a group of ten LCDbuttons,five on a CK1.1.This does not include hard buttons in the same device.
A Device is comprised of up to four pages of LCD buttons and one set of functions for the hard buttons. CK1.1
does not support devices.
Click on a device to SELECT it (the highlighting indicates it is selected) and the corresponding MAIN LCD
button (the green circle indicates that a button is selected).
Double Click on a device to expand or collapse your view of its pages (or you can single click on the +/-).
A single click on a page inTreeView will change the SIMULATOR to the selected PAGE and DEVICE.
Right click on a device to reveal the Device Context Menu:
Insert Page will insert an additional page to the device (to a maximum of 4).
Cut will copy the entire device and when pasted will delete the original.
Copy will copy the entire device without changing the original.
Paste will paste the copied or cut device into the selected device,completely
replacing whatever previous programming you had.
Import Device will enable you to import a device you have previously exported,
replacing the selected device.
Export Device will allow you to save the selected device for future import.
Delete Contents will delete all labels and codes but not the pages of a device or
the name of the selected device.
Delete will delete everything about the selected device.

commands that are used for macros.However, the end user will not be able to navigate to a HIDDEN page,
so he/she will never accidentally issue codes that you place there.
Cut,copy and paste are always grayed out, you cannot cut, copy and paste PAGES.
The Edit and Label ButtonsWindow
If the Edit and Label ButtonsWindow is closed,reopen it by clicking on the shortcut button on the toolbar.
Whenever you SELECTa button, the Edit and Label Buttons window displays the button name (editable),the Device
and the IRCode from the database. If you change the button name, the IR Code list box displays both the name you
created and the original database name for the code (in parenthesis).
The Edit and Label ButtonsToolbar
Like the main toolbar,the shortcut buttons will display a hint if you hover your mouse over them. A single click
activates their function.

TEST - For learned codes. Will only test pre-programmed codes if you have downloaded to the remote.
LEARN - Activates the learning mode if a CK1.2 or CK1.1 Keypad is connected to the PC (See p.22).
CONTINUE - When you are learning a number of IRcodes,use CONTINUE mode to automatically save and select
the next button of that device. This saves a tremendous amount of time. See the section on LEARNING on p.22.
IR DATABASE - Another way to open the IR Database window.
DELETE - Opens up the DELETEwindow,which enables you to selectively delete any part of a button’s
programming.
The DeleteWindow
Simply click on the function you want to delete.For example, you can
selectively delete just a MACRO,leaving the button to perform a
previously programmed learned IR command.
Or, you can delete all programming by selecting Button.
Labels
You can change the name of any button.When you change the name of a button,it not only affects how the button
appears in an LCDdisplay,it also changes how the button displays in the pull down Code list (although the original
name still appears beside the new label).
Shortcuts - Copying Buttons
You can create a SHORTCUT to another button by selecting it via the pull down lists under Device and IR Code.A
SHORTCUTis simply a duplicate of whatever is programmed in the button you select via the two pull down lists.
TIP - Make a hard button issue a macro by shortcutting to a macro on an LCD button
somewhere.
1 On the simulator, select the button you want
to program with a shortcut.
2 Select the DEVICE from the first pull down list.
3 Select the IR Code from the second list.
4 Click on the SAVE button in this window to
make the shortcut symbol appear.
