KP10 A-BUS keypad

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Incognito product. Incognito is a cost-effective, modular based system using standard Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable to distribute hi-fi quality sound and video around a home.

The KP10 is an in-wall, A-BUSTMcompatible amplified keypad with buttons for control of speaker volume levels, Standby/On and source select (with compatible equipment), as well as having an IR window for receiving remote control signals. The KP10 can connect to A-BUS hubs, A-BUS Ready receivers, or to the Incognito Ready outputs of Cambridge Audio receivers and amplifiers using Cat-5 wiring. The KP10 then connects to speakers using conventional speaker cable.

The KP10 keypad fits into any wall and is available with different finishes to compliment various decorative schemes. The KP10 is fitted on the wall by fixing it into a standard single UK 47mm electrician’s back-box. All knock-outs in the back-box should be removed to provide maximum ventilation. Care should be taken in choosing a site for the KP10, and always refer to the precautions in this guide. Bear in mind it is not always preferable to fit the KP10 next to a light switch, particularly if the faceplates will differ.

Thanks for taking the time to read this manual, we do recommend you keep it for future reference.
