Product overview
The KTD-400 Controller Keypad is designed for use in a Digiplex system. The KTD-400 can address and
control 512 pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) receiver sites, operate a matrix switcher with 64 monitor outputs, and address/
select views from as many as 64 multiplexers and VCRs. Several modes of multiplexers are supported.
Note: For CyberDome control with the KTD-400, pan/tilt operation is limited to three speeds. To operate and control
multiplexers and VCRs, you must have a KTD-93 auxiliary device driver attached to each device in a Digiplex system.
Controller keypad placement
A Digiplex system’s RS-422 control signal originates from the controller keypad located at the head of the
system and travels down line via twisted-pair cable. When more than one controller keypad is used, the signal
must loop through each keypad (Figure 1) or be merged using KTD-312 signal mergers (Figure 2) before
being routed to the rest of the components in the system.

Installation
To install a KTD-400 keypad, you will need to set the DIP switches, mount the unit (KTD-300R only), and
wire the device.
DIP switch settings
Use Tabl e 1 to select your mode of operation.
Figure 3 shows how to open the KTD-400 and KTD-300R and locate the DIP switches.

CAUTION: Do not connect power to the unit before all installation steps have been completed. Do not connect directly to
a telecommunication network.

Mounting the KTD-300R
The KTD-300R is designed to fit into a standard EIA 19-inch rack and uses one unit (1.75 in.) of rack space.
Mount the unit using the four holes in its front panel and hardware provided from the rack manufacturer.
Wiring connections
The KTD-400 comes with a 6 ft. (1.8 m) cable that attaches to a modular phone box (Figure 4). All external
connections are made in the phone box. KTD-300R connections are made to the removable terminal strip
located on the back of the unit (Figure 5 on page 4). Wiring the KTD-400 and 300R to control a standard
Digiplex system involves connecting the RS-422 input cable (if used), the RS-422 output cable, and the
12 VDC wall transformer.
Note: Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 on page 5 show connection points for an RS-422 input cable and an RS-422 output
cable. Do not confuse the two. The input is used only if other keypads, alarm chassis, or time/date generators are
located ahead of the unit that is being wired.

KTS-41 system control
Wiring the KTD-300R to control a KTS-41A system involves connecting the RS-422 input cable (if used), the
RS-422 output cable (if used), the DTMF output cable (to the KTS-41A), and the 12 VDC wall transformer
(Figure 6).

Power-up
After you make all the connections, the KTD-400 or KTD-300R will be ready for operation. Plug the 12 VDC
wall transformer into a power outlet. The LCD window will briefly display keypad setting information
(Figure 7 on page 6), then it will enter the operating mode.

KTD-400 configuration
After you install and power up your KTD-400 keypad, you will need to configure it to operate within your
systems. You can also use the KTD-400 to configure other components in the Digiplex system. (See System
component configuration on page 10.)
The KTD-400 offers many programming choices that identify how it will function in the system. A separate
code is used to access the menus. For new installations, follow the programming steps in the order they are
presented. If you need to change any programmed data at a later date, enter the appropriate programming
mode and use the designated keys to advance the menu associated with that data.
• System size (see Figure 11 on page 7)
• Camera site access (see Figure 12 on page 7)
• Monitor access (see Figure 13 on page 8)
• Multiplexer enable and select (see Figure 14 on page 8)
• Multiplexer view display (see Figure 15 on page 8)
• VCR enabled (see Figure 16 on page 9)
• Maximum presets (see Figure 17 on page 9)
• Monitor offset (see Figure 18 on page 9)
When you supply power to the unit, the LCD will momentarily display a limited amount of configuration
information on the unit (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Programming display
After a few seconds, the normal operating display menu (Figure 8 on page 6) will appear.
To configure the KTD-400, do the following:.
1. In the normal operating display (Figure 8),
enter programming mode by pressing and
holding the Set key until you see the display
in Figure 9.
