OVERVIEW
3
The LCD-96M is a versatile, easy-to-use, menu-driven keypad that allows control of lighting, heating/cooling, security, home theater,
audio/video, pool/spa, irrigation, voice mail, and other systems connected to Stargate. Up to 96 interactive menu screens canbe created
anddownloadedtotheLCD-96Mbytheuser/installerwiththeincludedEventManagersoftware. Eachmenuline(upto8permenu)can
consist of text (up to 10 letters across) or bitmapped graphics (.bmp format, 64 x 16 pixels).
8 Dual-Position Rocker Buttons, located to the right of the menu display, can be individually programmed to perform different functions
depending on the menu selected. The Left and Right side of each button can be programmed independently (such as left = off, right = on)
orperformthe same function (such as go to Main menu). Programmable functions include: Navigational functions (go to menu, previous
menu), Then Actions (X-10, IR, Relay, Macro, VoiceMail, Flag, Variable, Audio Path) and Predefined Menus (Thermostat, VoiceMail,
TimeLabel, Variable, Caller ID, DigitPad, TelePad, Time Display). A special Two-Way X-10 feature allows any X-10 address to be
assigned to a rocker button. Pressing once on the right or left side of the button turns the X-10 device On or Off. Holding down the right
or left side of the button Brightens or Dims. On/Off status is indicated by a normal (Off) or reversed (On) background on the associated
menu line for easy viewing, even from a distance.

INSTALLING THE LCD-96M
1) Choose a convenient location to install the LCD-96M Keypad. For best visability, install the keypad at eye level.
2) Using the Hole Cut-Out Template on the previous page, put a small pencil mark on the wall in the four corners of the cut-out.
3) Draw lines to connect the four pencil marks.
4) Check that the horizontal lines are level prior to cutting out the hole.
5) Carefully cut out the 3 3/8" x 4" hole with a dry wall utility knife.
6) Slide the Catagory-5 cable through the access hole in the back of the enclosure.
7) Insert the enclosure into the wall with the lock wings closed flush against the top and bottom of the enclosure (figure 1).
Be sure the side marked "THIS SIDE UP" on the back of enclosure lip is facing up and the lock wings are back far enough behind
the enclosure lip to accommodate the thickness of the wall (figure 2).
8) Once inserted, lock the enclosure in place by tightening the two lock wing screws.
9) Terminate the four wires of the Catagory-5 cable onto the screw terminal connector (figure 3) and plug into back of keypad.
10) Place the top of the keypad over the top lip of the enclosure then carefully snap the bottom in place (figure 4).

CONNECTION USING RS-485 HUB AND HOME-RUN (STAR) WIRING
An optional RS-485 Hub can be used to allow home-run (star format) wiring of keypads to Stargate. The RS-485 Hub can accom-
modate up to 8 RS-485 devices (keypads, thermostats, etc.). Additional hubs can be connected to accommodate up to 32 devices.
NOTE: Each hub requires an external 12vdc @ 1A power supply. DO NOT power a hub from Stargate's 12v power
source. When connecting two or more hubs, the RS-485 inputs and ground connection of each hub should be connected in a "daisy-
chain" configuration (see diagram). Catagory-5 twisted-pair cable is recommended for all RS-485 connections. Total cable length
should not exceed 4,000 feet.

"Default Scrn". For Main Menu set to 1.
6) Set the default menu screen timeout (seconds) using the #4 button labeled "Scrn Tout". Set to "00" to disable the timeout or a
number from 15 - 255 seconds. If a menu is selected from the keypad, it will revert back to the default menu after the menu screen
timeout. Menus selected from the schedule using "Goto Menu" will not timeout.
7) Set the display backlight timeout using the #5 button labeled "Bklt Tout". Set to "00" to keep backlight on continuously or a
number from 15 - 255 seconds to have it turn off after the selected number of seconds have elapsed since the last button press.
8) Set the Time Display Format (12 hour or 24 hour) using the #6 button labeled "TimeFrmt".
9) Select CallerID Auto Display on/off using the #7 button labeled "AutoCID".
