The Source Keypad creates the ultimate media control experience by providing
real-time system status, menu-driven control options and source metadata with its
vertically mounted high-resolution color LCD. Menu options include system source
selection, M6 Internal Tuner Presets with frequency, iPod® menus and metadata as
well as a variety of Keypad setup options.
The real beauty of the Source Keypad is that it is so easy to operate. A Scroll Wheel
and Select Button allow navigation through and selection of the displayed menu
options. Once a source has been selected, 7 back-lit programmable hard keys
provide source control and on-screen menu navigation for sources such as CD
players, media servers, etc. These buttons have all of the programmability expected
of a Proficient Keypad, with each button being able to initiate single IR commands,
RS232 commands, Proficient M4 & M6 Internal Commands and macros in each of up
to three tiers of functionality.
Volume is controlled with a back-lit control knob that features a series of LEDs that
give a visual indication of the volume setting.
The Source Keypad is designed specifically for use with the Proficient M4 and M6.
They can be mixed and matched with Proficient PMK Keypads and run on the same
CAT5 wire used for PMKs. The Source Keypad includes a J-box Mounting Bracket that
allows installation in most standard 2-gang low-voltage new construction and some
retro-fit electrical boxes. This design philosophy allows The Source Keypads to be
retrofit to upgrade existing M4 & M6 installations.
Though parts of this manual cover The Source Dock and The Source Dock Adapter
for incorporating iPod and additional sources, the Source Keypad does not require
these components for installation and operation. The Source Keypad can be
installed without the Source Dock and Source Dock Adapter and used purely as
an upgrade to PMKs in M4 & M6 Systems. The Source Keypad is programmed with
Proficient Editor Programming Software and follows procedures similar to those
used with PMK Keypads. All M4 & M6 System commands, IR Library commands and
RS232 commands previously saved in Proficient Editor can be used to program the
Source Keypad.

WIRING
The Source Keypad requires connection to a Procient M4 or M6 to operate. All system wiring
considerations for an M4 or M6 system should be followed as described in the M4 or M6 Quick
Start Guides. The information below will only detail those parts of an M4 or M6 System that
pertain to the wiring requirements for connecting the Source Keypad, the Source Dock and
The Source Dock.
Note: The following wires should be installed during system pre-wire. Other connections will
be made at the time of installation and are described in the “Connections” section.
THE SOURCE KEYPAD
CAT5 - Pull home-runs of CAT5 from each Source Keypad to the system head-end.
Maximum Length: 500'
Note: All eight conductors of the CAT5 must be connected for proper signal strength on
500' of cable.
SPEAKER MUTE RELAY
The Speaker Mute Relay is used when multiple rooms are grouped to one zone (i.e.
Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom). When used and programmed, only the speakers
matched to the keypad will turn on/o (i.e. turn on the bathroom keypad only, the
bathroom speakers will turn on).
The room speakers wire through the Speaker Mute Relay and a two conductor wire from
the Speaker Mute Relay to the PMK or The Source Keypad relay connections.
Standard Wire - Pull two-conductor 24AWG or heavier, stranded, non-shielded wire from
any Source Keypad location to where a Procient Speaker Mute Relay will be installed.
Maximum Length: 1000'
THE SOURCE DOCK ADAPTER
No pre-wire necessary. Locate with an M4 or M6 for Connections.
THE SOURCE DOCK
No pre-wire necessary if located with an M4 or M6. If in a a remote location (i.e. kitchen,
bedroom, living room, etc.), run 1 CAT5 from The Source Dock Adapter location to The
Source Dock location. If wire run is greater than 250', a Procient IR Power Supply 1.2A
will be required at The Source Dock location.

13
SOURCE KEYPAD HARD BUTTON CONFIG
As received from the factory, the Source Keypad has a preinstalled set of buttons that match
the default button conguration in Procient Editor. This default may not match the system
being installed. The Source Keypad comes with a set of alternate buttons. The hard button
keycaps can be changed on the keypads and in Procient Editor to match the product being
installed. To change the hard button keycaps:
1. With the keypad disconnected from the system, carefully insert a small at head
screwdriver into the Faceplate Release Tabs Slots (1) as shown in Figure 7.With the
screwdriver inserted, slowly twist the screwdriver and pull down in the direction shown
(2) until the Faceplate Tabs release from the body.
Figure 7 Faceplate Release Tabs
2. With both tabs released, carefully pull the bottom of the faceplate up and away from
the keypad as shown in Figure 8 until it stops moving freely. Carefully pull the top of the
faceplate clear of the keypad to remove. Do not touch, pinch, poke or otherwise contact
the ex board circuit connected to the top of the LCD. Damage to the ex board will
disable the LCD.
Figure 8 Removing The Faceplate

14
3. With the faceplate fully removed, the hard button keycaps can be changed. Carefully
pinch the top of the keycap and slowly pull it straight up and o the rubber membrane
as shown in Figure 9. Try not to pull the membrane o the green circuit board. If the
membrane does come loose, be sure to replace it to its normal position, seated at on
the green circuit board. If the membrane is not properly seated, the keycaps will not t
properly through the openings in the faceplate and the keypad will not function.
Figure 9 Changing Keycaps
4. Using the included alternate set of keycaps, make changes as needed.
5. With all keycaps in place, replace the faceplate in reverse process to Step 2.Carefully
align the top of the faceplate with the keypad body as they appear in Figure 8. Slowly
press the bottom of the faceplate until the keycaps begin to push through their
openings. Visually inspect the keycaps to conrm that they are properly centered in the
faceplate openings. With the keycaps in place, press the bottom corners of the faceplate
until it snaps into place.
6. Press all buttons to conrm free play.

INSTALLATION
THE SOURCE KEYPAD
J-BOX (Figure 10)
Note: It is highly recommended that The Source Keypad be installed at a height of 56" on
center. This provides the best overall position for optimum LCD viewing angle. This should be
discussed with the homeowner prior to installation to avoid rework, should the homeowner
nd this undesirable.
New Construction
The Source Keypad should be mounted in a standard 2-gang new construction box whenever
possible. The keypad itself has a thin prole, but the Bezel Tabs and the Mounting Bracket
Bezel Tab Clips require some additional clearance. Some new construction and many retrot
boxes do not provide adequate clearance. Checking the t of an assembled keypad, (bezel,
keypad and mounting bracket), is recommended prior to installation of the J-boxes to avoid
problems after the wall board has been installed.
Retrot
Although use of retro boxes is not recommended, they can be used in some cases. If using
a retro box, it will probably be necessary to hone out part of the box to provide height and
depth clearance for the Mounting Bracket Bezel Tab Clips and Bezel Tabs. Do not modify the
clips or the tabs as this may adversely aect how well the bezel stays in place.
Figure 10 Mounting The Source Keypad
Mounting Bracket
The Source Keypad cannot be installed without the Mounting Bracket. The keypad is held in
place with the Keypad Locking Tabs and Keypad Angle Tabs. The Bracket should be mounted
to a standard 2-gang new construction box as shown in Figure 10. When installing the
Mounting Bracket, be sure the bracket is positioned as shown in Figure 10. The keypad cannot
be mounted if the bracket is upside down. If using a retro box, see the “Retrot” section
above. When necessary, though not recommended, the Mounting Bracket can be used
without a J-box. When installing a keypad without a J-box, be sure to use drywall anchors to
provide a more durable and secure mount for the bracket.

To install the Source Keypad ush (at) to the wall surface:
1. Slide the lower part of the keypad into the mounting bracket and position the Keypad
Angle Tabs into the rear channel of the Keypad Angle Tab Slots.
2. Carefully press the upper corners of the keypad with both thumbs until the Keypad
Locking Tabs click into place. (The keypad will ‘lift’ slightly in the bracket when
positioning the Locking Tabs).

To install the Source Keypad with lower portion angled away from the wall surface at
approximately 15˚:
1. Slide the lower part of the keypad into the mounting bracket and position the Keypad
Angle Tabs into the forward channel of the Keypad Angle Tab Slots.
2. Carefully press the upper corners of the keypad with both thumbs until the Keypad
Locking Tabs click into place. (The keypad will ‘lift’ slightly in the bracket when
positioning the Locking Tabs).
Note: In an angle mount, the keypad is not secure until the bezel has been installed. The bezel
will hold the Locking Tabs in place and secure the keypad to the bracket. Prior to installing
the bezel in an angle mount, be careful if operating the keypad and avoid incidental contact
to prevent the keypad from falling out of the bracket and possibly damaging the keypad, the
wires or the wall.
Bezel Installation
With the keypad in place, carefully align the Bezel Tabs with the Bezel Tab Clips on the
Mounting Bracket. Apply even pressure around the bezel to slide it into place. The bezel is
made of a pliable material that will ‘form t’ to the wall surface for a clean nish.
Removing The Source Keypad
Take care when removing the bezel to not scratch the wall surface or tear wallpaper. Use a very
small, thin tool or nger nails, to carefully pull the sides of the bezel away from the wall surface.
To remove the keypad, pinch the top corners of the keypad, and carefully pull slightly up and
away from the Mounting Bracket. Be careful not to drop the keypad or pull hard enough to
stress the CAT5 cable.

INSTALLATION
THE SOURCE DOCK ADAPTER
Though the Source Dock Adapter is a small plastic box that can be set on a shelf and left free-
standing, it is recommended that it be secured to a shelf or wall surface to assure it will not be
accidentally moved, in a way that could cause disconnections or damage to the unit.
Shelf Mount/Wall Mount - Without Base
The Source Dock Adapter can be mounted directly to a shelf or wall surface using the Wall-
Mount Screw Holes in the top of the Dock Adapter Chassis. The Dock Adapter should be
mounted as follows.
1. If connected, snap o the removable base.
2. Hold Dock Adapter in mounting position with the 12-Pin Interconnects facing out.
3. Carefully, at slow speed, drill starter holes for mounting screws using the Wall Mount
Screw Holes as guides.
4. Using minimum 1½" screws, secure the Dock Adapter to the shelf/wall surface. DO NOT
overtighten to avoid cracking the Dock Adapter case.
5. If using multiple Dock Adapters, printing a small adhesive label identifying The Source
Dock address and sticking it on The Source Dock Adapter is suggested to assist in making
connections and troubleshooting.
Shelf Mount/Wall Mount - With Base
If connected, remove the provided base from the Dock Adapter. Secure the base to the
shelf/wall with two screws. Snap the adapter back on to the base (Figures 11 & 12). If using
multiple Dock Adapters, printing a small adhesive label identifying The Source Dock address
and sticking it on The Source Dock Adapter is suggested to assist in making connections and
troubleshooting.
Note: The Dock Adapter can also be mounted under a shelf using the Base Clip Locks at the
top of the Dock Adapter.

CONNECTIONS
THE SOURCE KEYPAD
110 Punch-Down Block
The Source Keypad features a 110 punch-down block wire connection point.
CAT5 is recommended for typical use. When making direct connections to the M4 or M6 be sure
to conrm color coding of each wire before making connections. (Refer to Figures 13 & 14)

NOTE: When making connections
to THE SOURCE punch-down block
ALWAYS pull the wire toward the
middle of THE SOURCE. Pulling
the wires toward the outside will
create diculty when installing the
keypad into the Mounting Bracket
and will probably cause wires to
become disconnected.

CONNECTIONS
Punch-Down Block Connections
1. Strip approximately 1" to 1½" from the outer jacket of the cable being connected to the
Source. DO NOT strip the individual conductors.
2. Using a proper 110 punch-down tool, connect each of the wires to the appropriate
terminals on the Source Keypad punch-down block (refer to Figures 13 & 14). When
making connections to the Source Keypad punch-down block ALWAYS pull the wire
toward the middle of the keypad . Pulling the wires toward the outside will create
diculty when installing the keypad into the Mounting Bracket and will probably cause
wires to become disconnected.
3. Prior to installing the keypad, attach the included Wire Retainer to the back of the Source
Keypad as shown in Figure 15. Remove the adhesive backing from the wire retainer and
attach with the wire tie oriented vertically as shown, with the retainer lock at the bottom.
Pull the retainer over the wire and down through the lock as shown. This will help
prevent the wires from becoming disconnected during installation.
4. Terminate and connect the head-end connection as appropriate.

Jack on the Source Dock Adapter to the appropriate Source Input on the M4 or M6.
4. Using a CAT5 patch cable with a pass-through conguration, connect the Source Dock
Port on the Source Dock Adapter to the Adapter Port on the Source Dock. If wire run is
greater than 250', an IR Power Supply 1.2A will be required. (Figure 16)
5. Aux Input - Using a Stereo mini to RCA interconnect cable, connect the L&R line level
audio output of a source to be added to the 3.5mm AUX Input Jack. This will allow
adding a local source to an M4/M6 Zone and being able to play the audio through the
M4/M6 amplier and Zone speakers. This input must be congured in Procient Editor
and is only selectable from the Source Keypads.
6. When all connections have been made and conrmed and the system is ready for
operation, connect a Procient 24V DC Power Supply (not included) to the 24V DC Jack on
the Source Dock Adapter. Plug the power supply into an unswitched 120V AC outlet.
