CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Description
The RTS Model KP-32 Keypanel fits in a standard 19" rack and is two (2) rack spaces high. It has 32 lever keys: 30 keys are
for intercom talk/listen assignment; one (1) key is for call waiting response; and one (1) key is for headset/microphone/
program selection and volume setup. The KP-32 combines all of the programmable features of the KP9X Series Keypanels
and the KP-12 Keypanel. It adds significant new features such as digital signal processing and binaural headset operation with
left/right assignment of audio signals. The KP-32 also introduces large, super-bright, long-life fluorescent displays with
adjustable brightness control, making it suitable for all types of ambient lighting from direct sunlight to darkness.
Features
Super-bright, fluorescent displays: Provide much better visibility and usable life than LCD displays. A display saver mode
with programmable scrolling message extends display life and conserves power during periods of inactivity.
32 lever keys, with 30 keys available for full talk/listen configuration: Doubles the number of channels over the KP9X
series keypanels. Keys support both latching (hands-free) and momentary (push-to-talk) operation.
Enhanced programming keypad: Provides the complete KP9X keypad sequences, plus new keypad sequences, plus an
extensive scrollable menu system. Menus include helpful prompts to walk the user through setup.
Only 90mm deep behind the front panel (approximately 130mm with connectors): Perfect for consoles, OB vans, etc.
Digital Signal Processing: Improves microphone voice activation and limiting. Adds new mixing, metering, and filtering
capabilities.
Binaural (5-pin) Headset Connector: Works with the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) mixing feature. Lets you
independently assign intercom, microphone, and program audio to left or right headphone.
NOTE: Monaural (4-pin) connector available as an option. For monaural operation, the mixer lets you select which items
are monitored in the headphones.
Easy upgrades: Firmware updates can be received via the internet, for example, and then downloaded to the KP-32 via the
intercom connection. Ready for future communication enhancements, including coax, fiber, and ISDN.

Options
Connector Module
Provides connectors for two (2) line-level audio inputs (program 1 and 2), an unswitched, balanced microphone preamplifier
output, an external headset, an external speaker output, and a foot switch input (for remote switch activation of all armed talk
keys, or just one [1] key). Also includes a General Purpose Input / Output (GPIO), with four (4) opto-isolated inputs, two (2)
open-collector outputs, and two (2) SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relay outputs. Inputs can activate single keys and
groups of keys. Outputs can activate external devices from keypanel keys or from GPI inputs. Available factory installed or as
an add-on kit.

CSI-100 Coaxial System Interface Module
Provides the ability to link the unit to the matrix using a single 75coaxial cable. The interface converts all audio and data
streams to a single transmission path. Perfect for systems where there are existing, but unused 75video cable. Requires a
CSI-200 interface unit at the intercom matrix end.
EKP-32 Expansion Keypanel
Provides an additional 32 intercom keys for a total of up to 64 keys (62 intercom keys total).

CHAPTER 2
Installation
Rack Mount Considerations
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
Tma (Maximum Ambient Temperature) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

Option DIP Switch Settings
NOTE: When the switch is open, the physical switch is in the down position. When the switch is closed, the physical
switch is in the up position.
Switch 1: Latch Enable/Disable
Default setting = Open: enable
Description: An intercom key can always be turned on for momentary conversation by pressing and holding the key during the
conversation. There is also an electronic latching feature that lets you tap intercom keys to turn them on or off. This permits
convenient hands-free conversation. However, it can also result in a talk circuit being left on unintentionally. For example a
key that talks to a public address system could be accidentally left on. Or an IFB key (a type of key assignment often used by
a director or producer to give instructions to a listener, such as a news anchor during a television broadcast) could accidentally
be left on, causing confusion for the IFB listener. To prevent such accidents, the latching feature can be turned off.
NOTE: DIP switch 1 disables latching for the entire keypanel. If you just need to disable latching for selected keys, leave
DIP switch 1 in the Open position. Then, disable latching for the desired keys using the D check boxes in the
Keypanels/Ports setup screen of AZedit.
Switch 2: Key Gain Enable / Disable
Default setting = Open: enable
Description: Enables or disables the Key Gain item in the Key Assign menu.
Switch 3: Screen Saver Enable / Disable
Default setting = Open: enable
With Screen Saver enabled, the KP-32 shuts off the display and enter a low power state after a few minutes of inactivity. The
display reactivates instantaneously on an incoming call or when the keypanel operator actuates any control. As with all
fluorescent and back-lit LCD displays, some dimming occurs after many years of operation. Using the screen saver helps
maximize the display life.
Switch 4: Call Flash Timeout
Default setting = Open: 15 second flash.
Description: Whenever there is an incoming call and there is a talk key assigned to the caller, the talk LED next to the key
flashes. The flash can be set for 15 second timeout, or until the caller's talk key is released.
