The installation process is not detailed in this user manual. This user manual is applicable once the unit is installed and configured1, and includes:

Setting up the labels on the buttons, according to your specific requirements

Configuration of the Master room controller via the K-ConfigWindows®-based configuration software

Since the auxiliary panel is used as a remote controller for Master Room Controllers via the proprietary communication channel K-NET (as illustrated in Figure 4):

It requires only a K-NET connection to the Master Room controller

A power supply unit is not required2

The auxiliary panel can be programmed only via the Master Room controller (for example, the Kramer SV-551SummitView™ Processor/Switcher)
