Programming Overview
Programming Methods
There are two ways to program the SaphIR K2 keypad. The easier method is to use EZpro software on a connected Windows-based
computer, but you can also program the keypad manually using the programming menu described in this section. The menu is
organized in a file tree structure similar to that found on a computer. At each subsequent level, options become more specific. The
menu procedures provide intuitive options and navigation, allowing you to maximize source control and ease of use.
Once the keypad is programmed, you can copy the configuration to other K2 keypads in the system (up to 16) individually or all at
once by using the Copy Config procedure.
Tools and References
This manual includes the following items to help you in the programming process:
Source Information Form (page 55) – A blank reproducible form is provided for planning sources and settings. We recommend
that you complete the form before you begin programming and refer to it during the programming process. This will speed up your
programming time and reduce missed or incorrect entries, as well as provide you with a record of the settings. A sample completed
form on page 54 shows you how to use the form.
Source Names (page 56) – A list of assignable source names is provided for you to select in advance and record on the Source
Information Form before programming. These are the names that will appear in the keypad display when the user selects sources.
IR Device Codes (pages 57–61) – This list includes all the IR device codes built into the K2 keypad, grouped by component type.
Normally you will select a device code for the amp/receiver and each source during Basic Setup. If you cannot find a working
device code for a component, you can use the Learn IR procedure to teach the keypad that component’s IR commands.
Key Function List (pages 62–67) – This list identifies which key functions are supported by the built-in IR commands for each
type of component. “Learned Only” indicates functions that are not supported and whose IR commands must be learned into the K2.
The key functions listed for each component are the ones that appear on the keypad display during the Key Configuration procedure
in the Programming Menu.
Programming Menu Instructions (pages 22–42) – Detailed step-by-step instructions walk you through the programming proce-
dures.
Programming Flow Charts (pages 43–53) – Flow charts graphically represent the Programming Menu structure to guide you
visually through the programming procedures.
