Connectivity
The KD-ZRC300 remote communicates with the KD-ZRX200 transceiver via wireless ZigBee
signals. The KD-ZRX200 transceiver allows for communication from up to 100 feet away with
signals extending through most walls, floors and doors. The KD-MC1000 Master Controller
must also be connected in the system. Connect the KD-ZRX200 to the KD-MC1000’s ZigBee
RS-232 I/O port using the supplied 3.5mm 4 conductor stereo male to male cable or using a
fabricated wire that may be up to 100 ft. long.
3.5mm 4 conductor cable
KD-ZRX200KD-MC1000
Pair KD-ZRC300 ZigBee remote with KD-ZRX200 transceive antenna.
1. Connect The KD-ZRX200 ZigBee port to the RS-232 ZigBee port on the KD-MC1000
(make sure KD-MC1000 is powered on)
2. Hold down the Pair button located underneath the KD-ZRX200 ZigBee transceiver.
Blue lights will begin to flash.
3. As the KD-ZRX200 lights flash, hold down the and buttons on the
KD-ZRC300 remote until the blue lights stop flashing.
4. The KD-ZRC300 and KD-ZRX200 connected to KD-MC1000 are now paired.

Editing Button Functions
By default, buttons are automatically linked with the corresponding function for the respective
device. For example, the POWER ON function for each device is attached to the button.
The command(s) executed on each button are dictated by which blue device button was
pressed last.
You can edit the commands attached to each button and also create macros (many events) on
desired buttons (Figure 1).
1. Press “Edit System” button in the Program tab
2. Select the KD-ZRC300 remote in the System Designer control tree. The KD-ZRC300 has
been named “Zigbee” in the below figure.
3. Expand the Default Hard Buttons hierarchy in the Controller Designer tree
4. Choose desired button to view/edit events/commands
5. Events/commands are displayed in the Events & Actions window and are placed within
device tabs where executed commands are dictated by which blue device button was
pressed last
6. Use the Events & Actions tools to add/edit the events/commands attached to each
button. See Figure 2 for more details.
7. When editing events/commands, typical IR, RS-232 or TCP-IP events require two
selections be made: Device Name and Command

Creating Device Selection Macros
By default, the blue Device Select buttons serve only one purpose- to determine which
device the next button presses will apply to. However, typical applications can be modified to
intelligently configure the room based on a single press of the blue Device Select buttons. See
Figure 1 on the next page.
For example, the button can be programmed to:
»A. turn on the television
»B. turn on the AV receiver
»C. turn the cable box to the desired channel (ie. channel 100)
»D. set the AV receiver to the correct input
»E. set the television to the correct input
F. Delays can be added to insert time between each command sent.
IMPORTANT: Since the default function of the blue Device Select buttons is to simply
determine the device that the next button presses will apply to, G. Device Selection macros
must be placed on the Events & Actions tab corresponding with the desired Device Select
button.
These practices can be applied to any other buttons you wish to nest a macro within.

Upload the IR data into the ZigBee remote control (KD-ZRC300)
Only if you need to upload IR data into Zigbee Remote for line-of-sight control.
There are two ways to load IR data into the KD-ZRC300. Method 1 is the default method and
is most convenient. Method 2 is useful if you will use KD-ZRC300 as a universal IR remote
only (no KD-MC1000).
Method 1: Upload the IR data into the KD-ZRC300 ZigBee Remote via KD-MC1000
1. Press and hold down the and buttons on the KD-ZRC300 remote to put the
device into ZigBee configuration mode. (Note: Active when and buttons are
illuminated)
2. Click “Controlling Flow” in Program menu
3. Click the ZigBee remote in the “System Designer” window
4. In the “Properties” window, Devices Modes can be changed from ZigBee connection to
IR connection per device or both.
5. Click “MC” in the “Connection” section.
6. If at least one device mode is changed to IR, click “Update IR” button on the Properties
window
7. If IR update is completed, you will see “Updated Successfully!!!” message on Status in
the “Connection” section
