• System allows control from up to four zones.
• Two identically programmed keypads can be
installed in each zone.
• Built-in IR sensor allows each keypad to receive
commands from a handheld remote.
• Backlighting for use in dark rooms whenever
a button is pressed.
• Durable laser-etched buttons with permanent
labels. Optional buttons provide alternate la-

RKP-200 Overview
The following describes the features and connec-
tions on the RKP-200 keypad.
Device Buttons
Four buttons at the top of the keypad are perma-
nently configured as device buttons. Pressing a de-

reconfigured as device buttons should your system
have more than four source components.

An infrared sensor located behind the dark oval
lens at the top of the keypad, receives IR commands
from a handheld remote control.
