OVERVIEW
Vantage’s RadioLink Keypad Station communicates to the Vantage Control System via a radio
transceiver. The keypad comes in the EasyTouch II style and can be ganged with additional
EasyTouch II RK1 keypads and/or ScenePoint™ stations; up to 4 gangs. It is powered via the local
line feed. Once the keypad is congured and the buttons programmed, it can perform any button operation
that a standard keypad supports; this station does not have any loads and is available with two buttons,
simplifying the interface. The keypad joins Vantage’s premiere backlit line of stations. Each button is
evenly backlit with a built in diffuser and three color LED providing an array of color choices. Buttons may
be engraved or non-engraved. The backlight color can be personalized to indicate the button’s status.
Additional custom status colors may be programmed for multiple status buttons as desired. The EasyTouch
II also features an ambient light sensor for automatic day/night backlight intensity control* and a built-in IR
receiver. See Design Center software for EasyTouch II (ScenePoint) faceplate and button nishes.
NOTES TO INSTALLER
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION
EASYTOUCH II LEDs
Current technology does not allow LED suppliers to guarantee color values. It is common to have a slight difference among LEDs,
however, this is not too noticeable with backlit engraving. Historically, blue and red LEDs are more consistent than green LEDs.
Because of this slight variation it is recommended that one or two stations be pre-programmed with the colors the client is requesting
and that these stations be shown to the client for their nal approval before ordering and installing.
EASYTOUCH II AUTO BACKLIGHT
The Auto Backlight feature for EasyTouch II will not change all stations at the same time.
Description:
EasyTouch II stations incorporate a built-in light sensor. When enabled through Vantage software the sensor will change the
brightness of the button LEDs depending on the ambient lighting. For example, in normal light the buttons would be bright. In
extremely low light conditions, as at night time with all the lights off, the buttons would be dimmed to a very low level. Many conditions
lend to the phenomenon of keypads not changing at the same time. The location of each keypad is primary. In multiple gang
situations more light may be on one part of the multi-ganged station causing the auto backlight feature to operate differently in that
section of the multi-gang. Many other lighting factors, even less noticeable to the human eye, can affect, auto backlight sensors,
intended results.
Solution:
Because manufacture variations are inherent in light sensors and the conditions mentioned above are inevitable, it is not always
practical to use the Auto Backlight feature. This feature may be turned off in Software. If the Auto Backlight feature is not working as
the client and installer intends, Vantage Controls recommends using one of the following two suggestions to control the brightness of
EasyTouch II buttons.
1. Edit the LED style for EasyTouch II buttons by creating two modes*. Each mode can use the same ON/OFF colors at very
different intensities. Create two Time Controls. One for Sunrise and one for Sunset. Program the time controls to assign the
appropriate mode.
-OR-
2. Create the two mode LED style as described in step one. Install a Vantage light sensor and program the light sensor to change
the modes of all the EasyTouch II stations at once in an area.
This station is compatible with InFusion Design Center software. For complete support it is recommended that rmware
and software be kept to the most current release. Installation of Vantage products should be performed or supervised by
a Certied Vantage Installer. Turn the circuit breaker off and make sure no voltage is present when the keypad is installed.
Damage caused by failure to disconnect power may void warranty and is a risk to the installer. Connect the wires as follows:
Black to LINE, White to NEUTRAL, Green to structure’s safety GROUND. Before turning the circuit breaker on, check to see
that all connections are correct.

MINIMUM BACK BOX DIMENSIONS
SPECIFICATIONS
NOTE: UL requires one-half inch clearance between the back of the station to the back of the back box. With these dimensions
most standard back boxes that have the receiving threads for the keypad mounting screw inside the box will be adequate. Most back
boxes where the receiving threads are outside the box will be too small.
MUD RINGS
If mud rings are specied on a job it is important to test the mud rings for proper t. Two gang mud rings, in particular, run
substantially smaller than back boxes and some brands are not large enough for the station. The only solution is to test the t rst.
STATION SET UP IN SOFTWARE: DESIGN CENTER
In the Project Explorer click on Style/Prole View. Right click on Keypad Styles and select Add Keypad Style. In the Object Editor
window ll in all the information for the keypad style including the EasyTouch II Button Shape and select SoftLine or TrimLine stations.
Remember to check or uncheck the Auto Backlight check box to enable or disable this built-in feature. Right click on button style and
setup a button style with the button color wanted. While still in Style/Prole View, right click on LED Styles and ll in the appropriate
information in the Object Editor for three-color LEDs – Red/Green/Blue with ON and OFF or multi-state colors. Change back to Area
View and select the room, then click on Vantage Objects in the Object Explorer and expand Stations, RadioLink. From the list of
stations double click on the RadioLink Keypad Station to place it in the room. In the Object Editor, name the station and make sure it
is on the correct RadioLink Bus port.
CONFIGURATION
RadioLink stations need to be congured to associate which physical station goes with the station in software. When the station is
initially powered-up, the Status LED will blink three times followed by a pause - this means the station is powered correctly but not
yet on the network. Before uploading the le to the Vantage system, do the following: From Design Center, click in the Serial Number
section in the Object Editor and type in the serial number. Manually enter the serial number for each RadioLink station to match it with
the corresponding programming. Please note, if the serial number contains an alpha character please ignore this when typing in
serial number. The serial number of each station is located on a permanent sticker and a removable sticker on the front of the station.
Remove the sticker with the number only and place on the Station List report for easy reference when programming. The Main
Controller will add to its network and congure all the RadioLink stations that it has serial numbers for. This may take several minutes
depending on the number of RadioLink stations on the network. The Status LED will remain off when a station has been added to the
network and congured.

ENGRAVING EXAMPLES
NOTE: A new feature with Design Center 2.3 and up is the ability to congure RadioLink stations the same way WireLink stations
are congured, e.g., 3-button press. Please note, when conguring stations, if the Exclude RadioLink Bus check box, under Settings |
System Preferences, is not checked, all RadioLink stations go back to non-programmed mode when the Congure Stations button on
the tool bar is clicked. The RadioLink keypad station’s LEDs will all blink between Red and Off while in congure station mode. After
conguring stations and clicking the Congure Stations button again to turn congure stations mode off, all RadioLink stations need
to log back on to the system before working as programmed. Allow time for this to occur.
REMOVING METAL TABS
To gang with other stations the metal tabs on the left and/or right sides need to be removed. See drawings at end of document.
DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
The Status LED can be seen behind the sensor light bar. The light bar is just between the 1st and 2nd button / 2nd and 3rd
diffusers (see graphics next page). The Status LED is off or blinks 2, 3, 4 or 5 times followed by a pause to indicate status
information.
Off: The station is programmed and congured, or the station is not powered, a line voltage connection has not been made or the line
feed breaker is off.
Two Blinks: Station has logged on to Controller but is not initialized. If two blinks persist more than ve minutes, cycle the station
power.
Three Blinks: Station is not added to the network. Verify that its serial number has been programmed into the Main Controller using
Design Center or QLink and that the station is within 100 Feet of the Main Controller.
Four Blinks: Dimmer problem. Please contact the factory.
Five Blinks: Conguration Mode.
